Oil from the big spill off the Louisiana coast is said to have washed ashore overnight, meaning potential big trouble for Louisiana's fisheries and wildlife.

The economy grows again, for the third straight quarter. Republicans respond, "But... but... if it weren't for Obama, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place!!"

The person who found and sold the next gen iPhone to Gizmodo admits he made a mistake, and begged Steve Jobs not to extinguish all life on the planet.

In hillbilly news: Houston police are accused of beating a Chinese diplomat and possibly invading their consulate. Whoops. (Thanks to Blogtown tipper/diplomat Rob for that one!)

(Pro tip: Frashour is also the one who shot unarmed Aaron Campbell in the back in January.)
