  • Why is Tiger "morning" Woods still on my teevee set??????
  • Deranged man from east Texas is arrested for planting 36 pipe bombs targeting government officials and people he thought had wronged him in the past.  According to authorities, the man is said to have a grudge against the federal government.  I'm sure he doesn't watch Fox News and has never voted Republican.  The man is so against government that he receives a disability check from it every month.
  • The AP ran a decent story on people escaping income taxes.  Concludes: "About 47% will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions to eliminate their liability."  When you figure of those 47%, more than half are people over 65 who don't pay income taxes or are young-adults under the age of 18, the number quickly becomes about 17% of Americans not paying income taxes.
  • Tea Baggers announce they have formed a "federation" with other smaller sacked groups.  No word yet if Vulcans will be allowed to join. 
  • And finally, the freedom fighting Republican mentioned below who allowed a pic of a topless woman to be posted to his blog is standing by his decision.  The blogger, Tom Swiss, says he will "let this thing ride."
