News Good Morning, News!

Obama's plan to push health care reform through by Christmas is unsurprisingly hitting one major stumbling block: ABORTION.

A House Democrat plans to announce today to switch to the Republican side, and SURPRISE, SURPRISE, he's from Alabama.

A Pakistani court decrees that two men should have their ears and noses cut off—and after reading this depressing story, I'm starting to think it might not be a bad idea.

Police now suspect that the idea to steal the Auschwitz sign actually came from a foreigner. Not it!

Today on Wall Street, Darth Vader rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. In a possibly related story, all the floor traders collapsed, complaining of an inability to breathe.

Prince William spends a night sleeping on the streets, making him the second posh Limey (besides Matt Davis) to do the same thing.

Two more Seattle-area cops are shot on the job.

Brittany Murphy's autopsy has reportedly come back "normal"—but toxicology reports are still weeks away.

And finally, here's a video Christmas Card featuring holiday lights from around Gainesville, Florida. It's all very beautiful, peaceful, and filled with the spirit of the season... THAT IS UNTIL THE ONE MINUTE MARK.

The church near my house has a light up cross that rotates during the holidays. Recently they also added some neon flames. Best cross ever.

Does "outreach" mean something other than the logical combination of the preposition out and the verb reach? I suppose it does. Then again, it doesn't say what they're reaching out and doing.
