 White IVF couple has Black twins - BBC. A judge may have to decide what happens to black twins born to a white couple after an apparent blunder at an IVF clinic.

(Lucy! You have some 'splainin' to do! Well, given that the woman gave birth to the children, they are her kids! Is she seriously considering give them up because they are black? They're her kids! This line in the story sums it all up: "When the babies were born, the couple noticed that they were clearly dark-skinned, and suspected that something had gone wrong." See, what has BoyCaught been observing all along: dark skin ... is just wrong! What if the couple had been black and the woman's eggs had been accidently inseminated with sperm from a white man? Oh yeah, she still would have had black babies.)

 Powell: 'bastards won't drive me out' - Telegraph (UK). Despite his frustration at President Bush's tendency to side with Donald Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary, on issues ranging from the Middle East to the International Criminal Court, Gen Powell is making it clear that he does not intend to quit before the next presidential election. Gen Powell is regarded overseas as a lonely voice of moderation and pragmatism within an strongly unilateralist administration, and his departure would dismay most foreign capitals.

(Lesson: You can enjoy a public approval rating far greater than your boss, you can be honored by the men who fight for the country, and you can be widely respected by all of the governments and diplomats you negotiate with, but, if you're African-American you still have to work twice as hard to get half as far ... or, Dubya's an even bigger idiot than we thought. Powell's best move, and Condi's as well, may be to jump the ship before it sinks.)
