President Obama appears to be backing down from the "public insurance option" part of his health plan, which to many people was… umm… kind of the entire point, right?

An Afghan pro-Taliban group has offered its help to the U.S. military.

According to Human Rights Watch, in recent months hundreds of gay men have been tortured and killed in Iraq.

Classic rock group KISS is ready to release a new album… on Wal-Mart Records?

In a related story, a young police officer detains Bob Dylan after mistaking him for a homeless person. That would never happen at Wal-Mart!

Still no sign of that missing ship, but the Russian crew has been found. (And by the way, guys… that's the last time we give you a ship. Nyet way!)

Britain releases all their documentation regarding over 800 UFO encounters. (Does that include people who saw Mac and Me?)

And finally… is that Alan? HEY ALAN! ALAN! ALAN!

Shorter Obama: Stop misrepresenting health care reform! By the way, I'll drop all the stuff you're misrepresenting.

Doesn't the story you linked to say that the crew was found ON the missing ship, implying that the ship was found, too? Reading comprehension FTW!

They totally rewrote this story after I read it at 8 am this morning, and didn't mention it's an update, because apparently they enjoy making ME look like an a-hole! (Though I realize I need little help in that regard.)

Times Two! FTW!
