Palin Comparison

1. On Thursday, producer Mark Burnett and Sarah Palin announced they are shopping around an idea for a television show about the natural beauty of Alaska. "What it's not is a reality show following her around, getting up in the morning or her family and all the salacious stuff," said Burnett. So tune in this fall to Sarah Palin Presents: The Beauty of Alaska... as Gunned Down From a Helicopter.

2. A new shoe scanner is being tested at the Homeland Security Department lab and officials think it may help ease congestion at airports if approved for broad use. The scanner is said to have improved abilities when it comes to detecting weapons and bomb parts. Airline security officials say they're very excited to try the product, especially passengers wearing Victoria Secrets' new shoe bras.

3. This week it was reported that the Tea Party has their own iPhone app called the Tea Party Finder. The application works by locating a Tea Party group in your area, and then gives you directions on how to get there without having to be confronted by one those pesky "libraries."

4. Michigan Representative Bart Stupak said this week that he will kill any health care reform bill that doesn't include his anti-abortion amendment, which bans government money from being used in abortions. "We should not be giving women this option," said Stupak during a press conference. Stupak was rather unwavering -- that is until his mother stood up in the audience and yelled, "Not so fast."

5. A Burberry fashion show in London on Tuesday jumped onto the bandwagon by showing digitally projected models in 3D. Those invited to the screening wore 3D glasses and said the models came right off the screen. The models popped so much, said one viewer, that you could almost make out the food they hadn't eaten.

High five.
