Palin ad Visor & Woods' Wife Wiser

1. It's been reported that Elin Nordegren is getting a divorce from husband Tiger Woods. Today Woods signed the first of many giant, novelty first place checks over to her.

2. A new study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project shows that 15% of teens admit to "sexting," sending nude images via text message. But analysts urge parents not to blame cell phones. "Blaming the technology is like blaming an automobile for drunk driving," says Bill Albert of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Yeah? Tell that to KITT. I believe you, David Hasselhoff. I believe you.

3. Sarah Palin is apologizing today after photos surfaced of her wearing a McCain campaign visor with the logo blacked out. Palin says she was simply trying to remain incognito while vacationing in Hawaii and still supports McCain 100%. Though according to Fox News data, it's more like 570%.

4. US military officials today say that Iraqi insurgents have hacked into the live video feed of their remote control drones. Today, Apple released a statement apologizing for the hack, saying, "We never thought this would be the application of our new line of Macs powered by stoning adulterers."

5. According to a New York Times/CBS News poll, joblessness in America is causing major trauma on US families. Half of those polled are suffering anxiety or depression and "4 in 10 parents have noticed behavioral changes in their children that they attribute to their difficulties in finding work." You know the economy's bad when even sweat shops are laying off children.

High five.
