Palin's Hancock & Grace's Gosselin

1. On Monday, new Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor showed no hesitation in asking questions during her first cases on the nation's highest court. Analysts say she may have asked more questions in an hour than Justice Clarence Thomas (who once went 2 years without speaking during oral arguments) has in the past year. Thomas defended his history on the Supreme Court bench saying, "Well, if I start talking I'll blow off the pubic hair delicately balancing on my Coke can."

2. An Xbox360 allegedly signed by Sarah Palin has been listed on eBay for over $1 million dollars. With about 8 days to go the item currently has zero bids but analysts say the signature looks legit. And with that, the question is finally answered: what happens when you combine someone who doesn't know language with someone who doesn't know numbers?

3. Last night on Monday night football Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre defeated his old team the Green Bay Packers 30-23. Favre gave a near flawless performance throwing 3 touchdowns and becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to beat all 32 teams. Though the feat is not so difficult when you play for all 32 teams.

4. On CNN's The Insider Monday night, Nancy Grace debated Jon Gosselin over the welfare of his children, calling him "self-absorbed." Gosselin tried to defend himself but Grace's debate style left him stammering. Grace then returned to her office, cracked open a Coors Light, and acted out her "kidnapper at the Gosselin house" fantasy.

5. On Tuesday, North Korea announced that it may return to nuclear disarmament talks it walked away from six months ago. "The hostile relations between the DPRK (North Korea) and the United States should be converted into peaceful ties through the bilateral talks without fail," Kim Jong Il was quoted as saying. The dictator also promised that this time he would not wear his fusion-powered hair piece.

High five.
