WTF?! Facebook Poll Asks "Should Obama Be Killed?"
A poll has been posted on Facebook asking users to vote "should Obama be killed?" As of noon Monday, 90 percent of respondents had said “no.” Just over five percent said yes, 2.6 percent said maybe, and 1.9 percent said “if he cuts my health care.” Seriously... at least 9% said yes!?! The Secret Service has been notified.

Joe Wilson Voted to Provide Taxpayer Money for Illegal Immigrants' Healthcare
On Wednesday night, Rep. Joe Wilson, shouted "You lie!" at President Obama when he said that the healthcare bill would not cover illegal immigrants. However, in 2003, Wilson voted to provide federal funds for illegal immigrants' healthcare. The vote came on the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, which authorized $250,000 annually between 2003 and 2008 for government reimbursements to hospitals who provide treatment for uninsured illegal immigrants.
Sen. Al Franken Draws Map Of U.S. From Memory
Senator Al Franken drew a surprisingly accurate map of all fifty U.S. states at the Minnesota State Fair recently. The senator from Minnesota demonstrated his talent during a recording for Minnesota Public Radio. The video is set to music, so it's impossible to hear any "oohs" or "ahhs" from the audience. This isn't the first time Sen. Franken drew the map for an audience. Franken showed off his cool party trick and auctioned it off during a 2007 Democratic fundraiser in Minnesota.

Former UN Ambassador Bolton Thinks Release of Captive Journalists Is a BAD Thing!
Euna Lee and Laura Ling are safe at home and in the warm embrace of loved ones and it's hard to feel bad about this. But, since Bill Clinton has a hand in their release, someone's got to step up and naysay the effort, and predictably, that task has fallen to former UN ambassador and noted rage-walrus John Bolton, who says the "Clinton trip is a significant propaganda victory for North Korea, whether or not he carried an official message from President Obama." Of course, holding Lee and Ling as prisoners was also a significant propaganda victory for North Korea, insofar as the ravings of a crackpot rogue nations can be held to be significant. If Kim Jong Il bakes a mediocre angel food cake today, North Korea will claim they've achieved a significant propaganda victory. Bolton, nevertheless, doesn't see it this way.
"Birther" Lawyer, Orly Taitz, Is Bat-Sh*t Crazy.
On Monday, David Shuster and Tamron Hall hosted celebrated "Birther Queen" Orly Taitz, who is a walking Saturday Night Live character, possibly played by Chris Kattan, come to life. The resulting discussion was, as you might imagine, pretty special! Taitz came on, speaking as if in a panic, presaging her answers with complaints about CNN, referring to David Shuster as a "brownshirt," and making oddball claims about how "85% of Americans think Barack Obama was not properly vetted."
An Angel In Queens, New York: School Bus Driver Responsible For 70,000 Hot Meals And Counting...
Munoz says he spends more than half of his salary, of roughly $700 per week, buying food from local grocery stores. Every night, for the past four years, Munoz comes home from work, takes a quick coffee break, then heads out to diligently collect food donations from the community and then shops for more groceries. He heads home to meet a team, consisting of his mother, sister, 5-year-old nephew and a friend. Together, they are a well-oiled machine, as they multiply whatever they're having for dinner into, by 120 to 140 home cooked meals, carefully packed with love and care in his tiny kitchen, in his shoe-box size flat.
Limbaugh: Food Safety Advocates "going to Go After Oreos" But Might Have to Wait Until Obama Leaves Office
The Cancer Project's attempts to have hot dogs labeled with cancer warnings. Rush said that hot dogs are just the "starting point"; he named several other foods, like bacon and bologna, that he said they would go after next. But not Oreos, he said -- at least not yet: LIMBAUGH: "And after that, they're going to go after Oreos. Might have to put that off 'til Obama's out of office, but they'll eventually go after Oreos."
Photo Evidence of Global Warming Kept Classified Under Bush Revealed.
The Obama administration has “released more than a thousand intelligence images of Arctic ice,” following a declassification request by the National Academy of Sciences.

8th-Grader Sinks Forward Flip Basketball Shot
An Ohio eighth-grader pulled of a stunt shot that has to be seen to be believed. He runs forward, does a forward somersault/flip using the basketball to push off the floor, and then hurls the ball towards the basket at the opposite end of the court, 60 feet away. SWISH!
Economic Crisis? What Crisis?
Apparently, Republican National Committee Chairperson Mr. Steele finds the idea of this recession laughable. I wonder if he would laugh in the faces of the residence of the "tent-cities" popping up around the country?
