• McCain holds a steady lead in South Carolina, followed by Huckabee and Thompson, leading Mitt Romney to say, “What am I? Mormon chopped liver?”

• Geologists noticed a small earthquake and a bit of steam popping out of Mount St. Helens. You know what to do. PANIC!!!

• Newlyweds Eddie Murphy and Tracy Edmunds have called it quits after only two weeks of marriage. Oh, you nutty, nutty professor!

• And finally, in “Hillbilly News,” is it some kind of CRIME to drive your lawnmower down the highway to get beer for your wife who has threatened to stab you in the face? BEHOLD, THE FUNNIEST HILLBILLY BUST YOU ARE EVER LIKELY TO SEE.

I'm gonna have to deem the lawnmower video fake. First of all, it's posted by a stand-up comic who promises more of these "Larry stories" on his website. Secondly, the not-so-official looking video ID and date graphic was obviously added afterwards. Video resolution is probably too good to be real cruiser camera footage. And lastly, it's just too perfect. Cop's threatening force and the guy goes to take a pee? Please.

Yeah, I'm not 100 percent convinced either, especially since the audio quality is so good. However, it's still Hilar-ious Clinton!

Even if it wasn't fake I fail to see the funny in this. Why did the guy need to be pepper sprayed and tackled? Who was under threat here?
