Good Morning, Blumenthal!

1. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal apologized today for misspeaking on his Vietnam service record.

Unfounded Founders

1. Appearing on the O'Reilly Factor recently, Sarah Palin advised that we "go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant ...

2. Next week, British astronaut Piers Sellers will take a piece of Isaac Newton's famous apple tree up into space on the shuttle Atlantis.

Florida & Fauna

1. A law proposal in Florida prohibiting the act of bestiality has failed to pass the Florida congress for a second time. And for a second time, Florida congressmen meet after for a drink and awkwardly ignore the elephant in the room... the very frightened elephant in the room.

2. Sarah Palin this week is seeing a backlash from her tea party supporters after she endorsed California conservative Carly Fiorina for the US Senate.

Palin finally sees that no matter what side of tea bagging you're on, no one's happy.

4. Today, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) allowed the first Arab-friendly domain names in what's being called a "significant change to internet domain names." But too bad if you're late to the party, as "dieUSA.com" and "killinfidels.com" are already taken!

4. A 23 year old from Mobile, AL has won $1 million after pitching a perfect game in the video game "Major League Baseball 2K10," by Take Two Interactive. He and his wife says they'll use the money to start a family. The developer knew the accomplishment would be difficult but not impossible. Yes, a video gamer of that caliber having the ability to find a wife... quite an accomplishment.

5. According to Life & Style magazine, Hills star Heidi Montag will be having another breast enlargement operation. Montag reportedly wasn't happy with the size after her last procedure. Given her obsession with breast enlargement and her marriage to Spencer Pratt, experts wonder if Montag is perhaps dangerously addicted to huge boobs.

Abort!

1. Florida state senator Mike Bennett is in trouble this week after cameras caught him looking at pornography during a live debate on abortion. The Christian politician says he closed the email immediately and was surprised at what he saw, but not quite as surprised as experts who assumed it'd be gay porn.

2. Louisiana state Rep. Henry Burns has introduced a bill in the Louisiana House that would allow church-goers to carry guns into churches.

3. A man from Sichaun, China has died after a friend reportedly inserted an eel into his rectum "as a joke." The eel caused major damage to the man's intestines. Doctors said the man died from internal bleeding, and also "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
