Morning newsdome

>> Gas is super cheap and getting cheaper. For some reason, this is a bad thing.

>> Apparently, Manhattanites don't get drunk anymore. Polite sipping of champagne — yes. Tequila-induced shouting and flailing about — no. In other news, Middle America has new proof for the East Coasters-are-elitist-commies theories they shout while drunkenly flailing about.

>> Chris Weitz is named as the new director for the Twilight sequel. Because the director that jump-started the franchise's films to the tune of $200 million and counting wasn't good enough?

>> The Sicilian mob goes all Humpty Dumpty, trying to put itself back together again — but fails.

>> Also failing on a massive scale: French terrorists. News flash — explosives that don't explode aren't exactly terrifying.

>> The latest numbers say NASCAR drivers face far fewer accidents these days than five years ago. Back then, driving in circles was way harder.

>> In more failure news, MARTA warns of "Draconian" cuts to staff and transit options. But soon, you might be able to carry a bagel on the train along with your gun!
