News Good Morning, News!!

Posted by Matt Davis on Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 5:13 AM

1.SHOW US YOUR PENIS!!! The Oregonian managed to get to court yesterday to see Michael Hammond, the Mercury's favorite nude bicyclist, get cleared of indecent exposure by a judge who agreed it was protected free expression under the constitution.

2.NON-EXISTENT!!! Remember the McCain campaign source who said Sarah Palin thought Africa was a country? Well, er, he doesn't exist.

3.TED STEVENS ON THE ROPES!!! The convicted felon now trails by 814 votes in Alaska.

4.WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE??? Prince Charles's collected letters reveal he's pretty pissed off.

5.LEGO MONOPOLY DISMANTLED!!! A British judge rules that a plastic brick with ridges on it doesn't make a patent, opening the market to other, lesser, and greater, plastic bricks.

6.CASUAL WEAR BY OBAMA!!! The president-elect has begun dressing down. Not down enough, like, naked, but, you know, down.

Good day.

You're a bit misleading in how you've worded #2. The real source who made that claim exists, somewhere.

The hoax was that the person referenced in your link here stepped in to claim it was they who were the source.

The information remains real. It was "hi I'm the source" which was the hoax.

Thanks for pointing that out, b!X. I was telling a friend yesterday that the wording in that article was so slimy that I figured even Mr. Pena wasn't sure exactly what the hoax was, and as such was trying to cover his ass with his weaselly language.
