1. This weekend a British Columbia family's golden retriever saved the life of their 11 year old boy after he was attacked by a cougar. The boy had reportedly been fetching firewood when the cougar charged him, and the family dog fought off the cougar until police arrived. The boy and the dog are okay, but authorities are still unsure why Demi Moore was roaming the Canadian wilderness.
2. On his radio program Monday, Glenn Beck tried clearing up rumors that he had died in a plane crash over the weekend. Business partners phoned Beck to ask him if he was alive after news organizations reported his death. Analysts say a zombie Beck might attract even more regular viewers to his show as they search for brains together.
3. On Friday, Rush Limbaugh announced that despite being admitted to the hospital with chest pains days earlier, tests show no heart problems. Limbaugh says the pain was real and believes it might have been caused by a spasm in his artery. Later that night, a quiet Death returned home to Mrs. Death and a much needed pep talk.
4. Newark, NJ mayor Corey Booker answered a citizen's plea to get their 65 year old father's driveway shoveled by going to the house and shoveling it himself. Booker was contacted via Twitter and showed up at the man's door in twenty minutes. In other news, Joe Lieberman has introduced legislation to cover all driveways of the elderly with thick, thick ice.
5. Australian researchers have found the remains of a plane that dates back to 1911 and is considered to be the first plane ever taken to Antarctica. The researchers discover metal pieces of the craft on New Year's Day after searching for three years. And American Airlines held a press conference today welcoming the plane into their fleet.
High five.
