JUST WHERE THE HELL IS HOMELAND SECURITY WHEN YOU NEED THEM?
About 110 people, many of them senior citizens, were scandalized at a dance exhibition in Vestavia Hills when a member of a "German film crew" and his male dancing partner performed an inpromptu number, kissing after performing a sensual Argentine tango. Birmingham ballroom dance enthusiast Murray Echols said they “ruined the whole thing”. Borat, you magnicent bastard!

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner | Latest NPR Poll: Democrats Besting Republicans in National Debate on Key Budget Issues
POLL SHOWS VOTERS SUPPORT PREZ
A recent polls shows that despite voters' gloom about the economy, they remain confident in Obama's and support his economic policies. A solid majority of 56 percent approve of the way President Obama is handling the economy, while just 39 percent disapprove. Indeed, by a near two-to-one margin, voters think that Obama's economic recovery package will help rather than hurt the economy (40 to 21 percent with 34 percent believing it will have little impact on the economy) and a strong majority favor the recovery package passed by Congress and signed into law by the President.

RUMORS OF MY DEATH HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED, BY ME!
Okay, this goes into the really stupid things you can do with technology category. David Eagleman, apparently obsessed that "many people" in "critical condition" would have "no way of letting people know what has happened to them" started a website called Deathswitch.
"Huh?", you ask. This service will let your loved ones and friends know you're dead by emailing a pre-written notice. The system periodically asks for a password to make sure you are alive and functioning. If you fail to enter your password, the system will keep prompting you and after multiple failures, it will conclude you are dead or in critical condition. Sounds perfectly logical and fail safe to me. Okay David, step away from the keyboard!

Media Matters - Media Matters: The media's deliberate stupidity
RIGHT UP THERE WITH FART JOKES
The penchant for tackling the earmarks question by doing nothing more than sarcastically listing them as self-evidently a waste of money has been described as "intellectual incoherence". This Beavis and Butthead political philosophy consists of snickering at stuff that is perceived to sound funny without seriously considering their impact.
