ObaMarlboro No More
First Lady Michelle Obama has said that the president has kicked the butts. More.
Except when he drinks, then he puffs like a chimney. JK, JK... good job, B.O.!
Packing Heat
An Alabama adult store owner is taking an interesting take on the “make love, not war” anthem this Valentine’s Day. Owner Sherri Williams is offering an saucy exchange: guns for “toys.” Her goal is to get 300 guns off the streets (and get all kinds of freaks in the sheets!) Hmm. I wonder if the trades are in proportion to the type of gun traded? What do you get if you trade in a 9mm versus a shotgun? I could keep this going, but frankly my parents read this and I am already starting to blush. Sucia.
Patriot Act Extension Stalls
An extension of certain provisions of the Patriot Act failed in the House today. The bill would have extended provisions such as the FBI’s ability to use roving wire taps. The bill is expected to be re-introduced later in the spring, but its failure shows the tea party’s rising power. Several freshman members of Congress didn’t support the bill’s extension because of the Act’s encroachment on civil liberties. Okay.
"Toyota" Not Japanese For "Ahhh!!"
Remember when everyone thought their Prius had turned all Christine on them? Turns out their car was not possessed. It was just their fat feet. More.
Over It
Now Carmelo Anthony is in talks with the Los Angeles Lakers. I am over it. I just want to stop hearing about it. But you should read about it here.
Olbermann's Strange Move
Keith Olbermann has landed a gig at Current TV. And the whole world that has been waiting with baited breath to see what Olby is up to just let out a collective “uhh?” This could be good for him – as one story I read pointed out that MSNBC wasn’t exactly booming when he arrived. But Current TV, Al Gore’s station, doesn’t really have much cachet. Although it does show This American Life. Can’t be all bad when you have Ira Glass on your side. I mean Rachel Maddow basically got her look from Glass, so Olbermann should feel so at home. More.
