- Talking down to us… President Obama’s State of the Union Address had the 4th lowest reading level since FDR. Text of Obama’s Address has a readability score for an average 8th grader – two grades lower than George W. Bush’s Addresses and the historical average for modern presidents.
- Scott Brown wouldn’t rule out the idea of running for President in 2012. So, Republicans who railed against President Obama’s lack of experience, would you vote for Scott Brown if he ran in 2012?
- End of the World Update: Fresh off of President Obama’s dismantling of their manned spaceflight program, NASA is launching a mission to unravel the Sun’s threat to planet Earth. They are trying to understand things like massive solar storms like the one in 1859 that knocked out all telegraph systems in the entire Northern Hemisphere… if it happened now, all electronic devices in the effected hemisphere would be damaged beyond repair.
- The Justice Department says that it is considering an antitrust investigation of the BCS. Really? There’s actually nothing else for the Justice Department to do? If this is what they are spending their time on, maybe they should think about trimming their budget a bit.
- The TSA is investigating who used a white board at one of their locations in Florida to draw up a derogatory ‘Jeopardy’ board with racial and gay slurs. How stupid would you have to be to do something like that? The TSA is so worried about what people think of them that you’re absolutely going to get fired.
- The gay dating site ad for the Super Bowl got rejected by CBS. If you’re the person running that site you have to be pretty happy with the way things turned out… the site got all of the PR they wanted, and they actually won’t be spending the money to actually air it after all.
- Interesting: A study says that cell phone bans don’t reduce accident rates.
- Awesome: Actor Rip Torn Arrested for Allegedly Breaking Into Bank. If you can dodge a security camera, you can dodge a ball.
- Health desk: One study says that people in their 40s and 50s are in the most content period of their lives. So apparently the mid-life crisis is a myth, and adults just really like to have an excuse to buy a sports car.
