Good Shit

1. On Friday, Arizona police discovered over 700lbs. of marijuana stuffed into a septic tank truck. Officials say cartels go to great lengths to hide their product but that this is the first time they've found it hidden in human waste, giving new meaning to the phrase "This is good shit."

2. Scientists say they have solved an important part of the puzzle in the research to cure HIV/AIDS. In a study published in the science journal Nature on Sunday, scientists say they've been able to grow a crystal of the enzyme integrase, which HIV uses to paste its genetic information to our DNA. Researchers say being able to study the structure of the enzyme will lead to many gains in the field, but OMG did you totally see Lady Gaga performing with Elton John last night???

3. According to President Obama's proposed budget for 2011, funding for NASA's plans to return to the moon will be cut. In defense of his budget proposal, President Obama said that going to the moon is not the country's priority right now. Plus, says the President, putting astronauts on the moon would make the moon's job-creation rate higher than ours.

4. President Obama's budget proposal for 2011 includes a large increase in spending for the Sciences, drawing cheers from the entire scientific community. Increased funding is planned for cancer research, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Health and Human Services. The increase did, however, draw criticism from former Bush administration Chief Science Adviser and voodoo priest MezenDieu.

5. A recent report shows that Sarah Palin's political action committee "Sarah PAC" spent $63,000 on copies of Palin's book Going Rogue. Analysts suggest this may be a gift to repay certain high paying donors, an assessment supported by another Sarah PAC budgetary cost listed only as "Palin Donor Reading Lessons."

High five.
