BIZARRE NAME. Cantaloupe. It would be the perfect name for a hoofed mammal with straight, pointy antlers and a negative attitude (the cantelope). Or a nice justii cation for a big, expensive wedding (we can’t elope). But we simply can’t understand why anyone would create such a bizarre name for one of the world’s most l avorful and popular melons (we suspect it was the same guy who came up with “poo-poo platter” and “Spam”). So although we’re powerless to change the CANTALOUPE unfortunate name of this delicious melon, we can show our support by selling giant cantaloupes ¢ this week for only .44 cents a lb.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — General Motors Chief Executive Officer Ed Whitacre wants Cadillac to treat customers better. At a June 3 meeting in Chicago, GM managers told 300 salespeople how a Texas salesman had dissuaded a friend of Whitacre’s from buying a Caddy. When his buddy test drove a CTS-V sedan, it ran out of gas. Whitacre’s e-mailed response was projected in large letters on a screen: “If true, awful.“ The gathering — a combined pep rally, lecture MEAGAN THOMPSON/Times-News and confessional — was part of a GM offensive to Perry Freestone, a Twin Falls Visitor Center volunteer, points out a photo of Shoshone Falls as he highlights a map to the local tourist attraction for K.W. revive Cadillac, which has fading appeal, aging Shipp, of Texas, on Thursday afternoon in Twin Falls.

Obama calls on GOP to stop blocking Medicare bill

By William Spain MarketWatch

CHICAGO — President Obama called on Republican lawmakers Saturday to stop blocking a bill that would forestall a 21 percent cut in the amount doctors are paid under Medicare, warning that the elderly could lose medical services if the cuts go into effect. In his weekly radio address, Obama said the looming cuts—under a formula established more than a decade ago — “would not only jeopardize our physicians’ pay, but our seniors’ health care.’’ He said that since 2003, AP photo Congress has voted, largely Crude oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill washes ashore in Orange Beach, Ala., Saturday.
