Seattleites took a dramatic stand, er paddle, against Arctic oil drilling on Saturday afternoon. Against the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest city's skyline, around 200 activists, local Native Americans, and concerned citizens took to kayak and canoe and surrounded a giant, Arctic-bound Royal Dutch Shell oil drilling rig currently making a layover in the Port of Seattle. Despite the oil giant's rocky history in the Arctic region, last Monday the Obama administration conditionally approved Shell's summer plans to drill for oil in the Chukchi Sea, north of Alaska. Environmentalists are not happy, and neither are many in Seattle, whose port has become a home base for the two Shell oil rigs' operations. The Port of Seattle's commissioners took heat for their controversial decision to lease one of its piers to Shell, tying the progressive city to fossil fuel extraction and the potential for environmental catastrophe in the Arctic.

Given that senior citizens are much more likely to vote Republican than younger people are, it's pretty clear that people who die between the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections will be disproportionately Romney voters. Daniel McGraw for Politico becomes the first person I've seen to try to precisely run the numbers of this, projecting that the shift in population will give Democrats about 453,000 more votes nationally even if nobody changes their mind.

The Twin Peaks corporate office Monday revoked the franchise of the Waco restaurant where a shootout between rival biker gangs Sunday left nine dead, 18 injured and more than 165 in custody.

What does it take for a man to run naked through a Florida neighborhood, try to have sex with a tree, and claim to be the mythical god Thor? According to a report by the Associated Press, the culprit is flakka—a synthetic drug that's been reportedly linked to deranged behavior in the Sunshine State. "It actually starts to rewire the brain chemistry. They have no control over their thoughts. They can't control their actions," Don Maines, a drug treatment counselor with the Broward Sheriff's Office in Fort Lauderdale, told the AP's Curt Anderson. "It seems to be universal that they think someone is chasing them. It's just a dangerous, dangerous drug."
