- Missouri Congressman Emanuel Cleaver has found a solution to all of our problems: He’s proposing a resolution calling for people to stop complaining.
- Commentgate Update: Judge delays ID of ‘Hipcheck16′ for at least a month.
- President Obama is furious that people are leaking his plans for Afghanistan. He says its a fireable offense. Will he actually make a decision before he fires the leaker?
- Obama also says that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be convicted. Obviously I would think we all hope that it’ll turn out that way, but… aren’t we moving KSM’s trial to the US because we want to show off how wonderful our judicial system is? Isn’t the whole basis of our legal system the idea that you are innocent until proven guilty? I’m just sayin’

- It’s not quite as entertaining as the guy who said he was too fat to shoot his son in law, but this unique defense might work: A British guy claims that he accidentally killed his wife while he was sleepwalking.
- More ice is falling from the sky, this time it’s in Colorado. Unlike the one here in the Chicago burbs though, they are pretty sure they know where it came from.
- Buffalo Grove boy dials 911 after his parents take away his Xbox 360. I can’t blame him, I once left my apartment completely unlocked all day and when I came home I literally thought to myself “oh well, if someone broke in the only thing I would really miss is my Xbox.”
