Romney: Mormon and I know it.

A Poinciana Parkway man wanted to “file a missing persons report for his wife, who was staying with family and no longer wanted to speak to him. The man said she had to come home, because he didn’t know how to cook for himself.”

Gabor’s prince mistakes glue for eye drops

“Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband, Prince Frederic Von Anhalt, accidentally glued his eye shut Tuesday morning”

News of this happening to someone in the world seems to pop up at least once every few years. The last time I recall was this, as Bill Maher reported:

“An elderly woman in Pheonix was reaching for her cataract medicine and, yes, she Super glued her eye shut. And after seeing what happened, her husband of many years, took the Super Glue and moved it next to the toothpaste.”

This particular incident is only slightly political because the guy who did it happens to have bought his way in to a royal family, sorta. But it brings up all sorts of person memories for me, like when my friend mistook aerosol glue for aerosol deodorant and when I mistook aquarium glue for lotion in the dark.

Pat Robertson: LEGALIZE POT?!?!?!?!?!?

“…criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possesion of a few ounces of pot, and that kind of thing, I mean it’s just, it’s costing us a fortune and it’s ruining young people. You people go in to prisons, they go in as youths, and they come out as hardened criminals, and that’s not a good thing.” -Pat Robertson

While the above quote had to be salvaged from repeated words and verbalized pauses, I was shocked, SHOCKED, to hear Evangelist Pat Robertson speaking reasonably about drug policy… or anything, for that matter.

Reason.tv gives Joe Biden a Christmas Special

Reason.tv’s Meredith Bragg and Nick Gillespie created “A Joe Biden (War on) Christmas,” a Peanuts/Biden Christmas video mashup that is sure to become a holiday classic.

Good example fail

“Czech Transport Minister banned from driving, found driving with phony plates.”

Proof of efficacy fail

“Case of innocent man freed after spending 18 years in prison proves Texas system works”

Nepotism fail

I’m thinking the bigger fail here is not on the part of the police…

If this were two years ago, I would have headlined this, “Britney Spears just can’t catch a break these days!” But ah, the moment has passed.

Politically-correct connect-the-dots fail

“Elected official says TSA Pat Downs Promote ‘Homosexual Agenda’”

Biden mixes right/left hands

Vice President Joe Biden told Senator Mark Kirk to put his right hand on the Bible. Kirk was actually supposed to put his left hand on the Bible and raise his right hand. But apparently the oath still stuck. The Daily Mail reported that a Biden spokesperson said, “We’ve checked with the Senate parliamentarian and he’s told us that whether Senator Kirk held up his left or right hand is of no consequence and has no bearing on his status as a sitting senator”

“City targeting fake fortunetellers”

City officials may clamp down on those paid to forecast the future. The City Council will vote Tuesday on a plan to require licenses, fees and criminal background reports. Council-man Keith Sudowski said the plan will discourage “non-legitmate fortunetellers.”
