I noticed a couple of interesting items on this morning's CNN Headline News crawler, so I did a little research in order to keep you abreast of the things that are really important. To wit...

• As if being the smallest state wasn't bad enough, Rhode Island stands to lose another 22 acres to Connecticut, pending the outcome of a new border study. The original border was established in 1840, but the line apparently "shifted" over the years.
  
  Rhode Island Democrats are blaming Texas Republicans for the boundary shift.



• A new cable TV network is on the drawing boards. It will be called the America Channel and will show "real American life between the East and West coasts," according to a spokesman.
  
  Interestingly, the new network is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. An unnamed source with the network was overhead to say, "just because we show it on TV doesn't mean we want to live there. Those guys are boring!"
