- Awesome: A man in a Darth Vader costume robbed a bank in New York. How could the story get any better? His getaway vehicle was a bike. I’m guessing his place of residence is also his parents basement.
- Glenn Beck has apologized for saying the Brian Urlacher looks like a neo-Nazi. Beck says he’s not a football fan, and made the comment based on Urlacher’s shaved head. He was driven to apologize by the fact that Urlacher could kill him “with his thumb in nine seconds if he wanted to.”
- Religious Red Meat of the Day: Legal challenges to public prayer are on the rise. Does “freedom of religion” mean people shouldn’t be allowed to pray in public at all?
- Bad news for ObamaCare? At the same time President Obama wants to take over health care, Great Britain is now moving to decentralize their health care system.
- Things are getting so bad in one New York town that the mayor has ordered the government to stop buying toilet paper.
- Sam Walton = Big Brother: Wal-Mart is planning on using electronic ID tags to help fight merchandise walking out of the store on its own.
- Geeky Space Story of the Day: NASA has found as many as 140 Earth-like planets. The folks at NASA are still doing one or two things in space, and they just switched on their new Kepler spacecraft and discovered hundreds of potential planets out there, some of them are even Earth-sized. Previously the only planets we had been able to find were larger than Jupiter.
- Also, Iran will have people in space by 2019… we won’t.
- Marketing genius: A company in Britain has what it claims is the strongest beer on the planet. They are selling it in bottles made out of dead animals.
- Finally: Herobuilders has come out with an Anna Chapman action figure.
