• Wanna live forever? A British tv station is looking for a terminally-ill person to agree to be mummified after death. Creepy or a chance at immortality? Personally when I die I want to be stuffed and put on the couch for all eternity.
• You had to know this was coming eventually: Former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has signed with Fox News as a contributor.
• Speaking of Palin, in the continuing back and forth over the new book Game Change, John McCain’s campaign manager says that Palin “has a problem with the truth”.
• Most democrats are rallying around Harry Reid, but at least one is calling him out on it. New York governor David Patterson said that Reid’s comments are “reprehensible”.
• Former governor Rod Blagojevich has apologized for saying that he’s “blacker than Barack Obama.” Apparently he took a look in the mirror this morning and realized he just had a really impressive tan the day of his Esquire interview. It’s interesting that Blago would be the first to apologize, since he’s the one who is politically dead.
• According to Gallup 78% approve of airports using full body scanners. Prudent security or the death of privacy?
• Michael Bloomberg the health nazi is at it again. The New York mayor now has salt in his crosshairs. He wants food makers across the country — not just in New York — to cut salt in their food by 25% in five years. We could all probably stand to have less salt in our lives, but is that the sort of thing Big Brother should be concerned with?
• Businesses are looking to cut costs  any way they can these days. Some business travelers are doing day trips instead of staying overnight.
• The people in Florida are having to get creative in dealing with all of the super cold weather this winter. One guy put his whole family in the hospital because he decided to use a charcoal grill as a space heater. At least they are doing things together as a family.
• A California man tried to break into prison. Clearly yes, alcohol was a factor.
