OBAMA TO SPEAK AT HEALTH CARE TOWN HALLS!!! Will not screen audience members, first. Last night, demonstrators in McMinnville had portraits of the President as Hitler. Carla at Blue Oregon has the deets, this photo from Ridenbaugh Press:
HEALTH CARE REFORM EXPLAINED!!! Nice job by the Daily Show panel:
HILLARY CLINTON: PISSED!!! The foreign secretary has not had an ideal last three months, reports the Guardian.
CUBA RUNNING OUT OF TOILET PAPER!!! They should just use their hands, like I do.
REGGIE MILLER STOP PURSUING MARRIED WOMEN!!! Millionaire Alex von Furstenberg wants you to know a pro athlete seduced his wife. A lot:
TWITTER CEO'S WIFE TWEETING ABOUT HER LABOR!!! #overkill #isnothingsacred?
HARRY POTTER: DON'T KILL YOURSELF!!! Daniel Radcliffe gives money to the Trevor Project, which aims to prevent suicide amongst LGBT youth. Nobody seems to have asked him yet why he couldn't just cast a spell...but good on him.
Good day.
