It's President's Day. Did you send Obama a card?

President of NBC news tells his network to stop showing footage of the death of Winter Olympian Nodar Kamaritashavilli during his fatal luge run. (And yet he let the Jay Leno show go on and on.)
Microsoft unveils their newest handheld device, the Windows Phone! Aren't you excited? Aren't you? (C'mon... guys. They need you to be excited.)
Yet another Democrat is retiring, putting another seat in danger of being taken by the GOP. His reason in so many words? "I'm a chickenshit."
Director Kevin Smith gets ejected from a Southwest flight—no, not because of his films, because he's too fat!
Singer Doug Fieger—of The Knack, and such slightly creepy pedo songs like "My Sharona" and "Good Girls Don't (But I Do)"— is dead at age 57.
Now here's what's happening in your neck of the woods: Partly sunny today, showers tomorrow, and sunny sun the rest of the work week. Woot!
