- Today's comic from Jen Sorensen is Komen's wardrobe malfunction:
- Democratic Senator Dan Inouye had a few choice words for former Rep. Pete Hoekstra's racist ad that has been getting a lot of attention this week:
“America should expect much more from a candidate for a high federal position,” Inouye said. “His racist thoughts are not welcome in the United States Senate.”
- Comedy:
Police in Littleton, Colo., on Monday pulled over a motorist who was protesting the way Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney transported his dog on a family vacation three decades ago.
The motorist, a fan of the fledgling "Dogs Against Romney" protest movement, had a dog kennel strapped to the roof of his car -- just like Romney did during a 12-hour drive in 1983. [...]
"Our 911 center received a call from a motorist who saw the car in the photo drive past, and she said the door to the animal carrier was open and a large white dog was in it," Littleton city spokeswoman Kelli Narde said in an interview. A police dispatcher radioed nearby officers, who spotted the car and pulled it over. Fortunately, no dog was harmed: "There was in fact a stuffed animal in the cage," Narde said.
- Sean Hannity is pretty sure that President Obama didn't really want to take out Osama bin Laden. Because ... uh ...
- Gone (from the 2012 Republican race anyway) but not forgotten:
After a failed attempt at the Republican nomination for president of the United States, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has returned to one of her signature causes: banning marriage equality for same-sex couples ... She said same-sex couples do not have a right to marriage, just like she does not have a right to marry her son. [...]
“Well it really is and I think you are exactly right. I think it’s important that we fundamentally remember everyone has the same right; no one is being denied rights,” she said. “Every man has a right to marry; every woman has a right to marry. They don’t have the right to marry the person of the same sex, just like we don’t have a right to marry our son or daughter. We don’t have a right to marry our grandfather or grandmother.”
- Apparently Ohio Governor John Kasich gave a rather bizarre State of the State Address yesterday:
Non-bluetongue cows going to Turkey. A dream about Jerry Seinfeld in the back seat of a car. Californians are “a bunch of wackadoodles.”
John Kasich’s second State of the State speech Tuesday was rambling and at times bizarre. Among his head-jerking references, Kasich told the first three winners of a newly-created state courage award not to sell the medals on eBay; pointed out his “hot wife;” and imitated someone with Parkinson’s disease when he talked about “deep brain massage.”
- Be sure to watch the video of this marshmallow moment:
"The Secret Service is going to be mad at me about this," Obama said, before energetically pumping a compressor and shooting the marshmallow gun, invented by 14-year-old Joey Hudy.
Obama watched open-mouthed as the candy shot across the room before crashing into the wall near the entrance to the Red Room, an elegant state parlor which stuffed with rare 19th century French furniture.
- Researchers have finally reached the fresh water of Lake Vostok, sealed away for millions of years under thick Antarctic ice. How long before they can answer the big question, could life somehow exist in this alien environment? DS
