Short Ends: Hitlers' Cross, Katrina aid money

It's another week, meaning time for more Short Ends, stories that we found across the internet that we thought we would bring to your attention. This feature isn't necessarily a headline update, though there may be those elements present. Rather, these stories tend to be not so "time sensative," so if you are reading this post, say, ten days after it was published, you'd still find these stories interesting to read. Or that's what we tell ourselves to make us feel like we have timeless value instead of being a flash-in-the-pan blogger. Oh behold how delicate is the ego of a web logger!
