- Michelle Obama told the Democratic National Convention in Denver Monday night that "I love this country", and that she
  and presidential nominee Barack Obama share America’s basic values and beliefs in a dream of a better future. She did not admit, as some wild claims have suggested, that she is the love child of Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey…
- What’s left of Tropical Storm Fay continued to rain down from Georgia to Louisiana, which for some is a welcome relief from months of drought conditions, while Florida residents begin to mop up the over 30 inches of rain that fell along the central Atlantic coast. Are we sure NASA hasn’t come up with a giant sponge that could collect it from one place and squeeze it out somewhere else?
- Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki insisted Monday that all foreign soldiers must leave the country by a specific date in 2011, and that there would be no legal immunity for American troops. After being briefed on the situation, Vice President Cheney was reportedly muttering something about "regime change" and "where’s my rifle?"…
- An Alabama initiative proposal to effectively prohibit gay couples from adopting was cleared by state officials to appear on the state’s November general election ballot. The initiative would require only married couples to adopt, and the state currently prohibits gay couples to wed–it’s that kind of shrewd thinking that has kept values in The Heart Of Dixie just as they have been for years…
 A Las Vegas judge has refused to delay the start of the trial of O.J. Simpson and a co-defendant on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping. The Juice actually had nothing to do with the delay request–he’s anxious to get started and really hoping he can drive the same level of insane media interest in whether he could possibly be as stupid as it appears that he is…- An Air Force researcher has found that a series of mishaps involving robotic warplanes are occuring because of operator error, due to the drones being controlled by increasingly inexperienced crews. I understand this problem can be quickly remedied, providing enough PS3 and XBox 360 consoles can be acquired quickly enough…

- Today’s Pennsylvania primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama follows an intense campaign push by both candidates to see which one better relates to voters there. Seriously, if either of them eats another cheesesteak, neither one will fit in the Oval Office…
- The American Heart Association is recommending that children should be screened for potential cardiac problems before taking medications like Ritalin to treat ADHD. They may no longer be bouncing off the walls, but their hearts certainly could…
- Defense Secretary Robert Gates took the Air Force to task yesterday, saying they must abandon old ways of thinking and embarce the use of more unmanned surveillance aircraft. They agreed, using Gates to demonstrate the latest in spy technology–the drone suppository…
- A Congressional report found that the Army’s pressure to improve enlistments has led to significantly more recruits with felony convictions, including some with manslaughter and sex crime charges. No offense, but if there’s anyone who ought to be risking a life, these guys certainly qualify…
- A San Francisco-area school is teaching people how to operate pot clubs, which sell marijuana to patients whose doctors have prescribed it–a practice which is legal in California. The course is free–you just pay for munchies…
- An Ohio church has taken its ministry to an unusual location–a bar they call The Country Rock Church for services, which the church says features, "top regional bands, pizza, wings, rowdy fun and a short message". Let’s face it–if you’re looking for sinners or converts, you’ve hit the jackpot…

- Wisconsin Democrats will choose between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama today in another primary that could change the close race between the two. I guess neither one of them will mind being the cheesiest candidate there…
- Yankee pitcher Andy Pettitte spent nearly an hour yesterday during a press conference apologizing to fans and teammates in New York and Houston for his use of human growth hormones. I think if he had been there much longer he might have apologized for Roger Clemens too…
- The Air Force says that unless they get a significant increase in funding, they will be unable to dominate the skies as they have the past 60 years. Does that mean we’d have to rename the president’s plane Air Force Four?
- Amtrak plans to begin random screening of carry-on luggage but insists it will not slow their operations. That’s because they’re already so slow no one will notice…
- There are reports that paintings stolen in one of Europe’s biggest art heists may have been found in a car parked outside a Swiss hospital. They could also be from one of those "Starving Artists" sales…
- An enviromental group has revealed that the Bush administration and EPA pressured dozens of states to abandon their tough limits on mercury emissions for lower standards that would let some companies avoid cleaning up their pollution. In return, I guess the adminstration promised that in the event of a natural disaster, FEMA would actually try to get there…
