GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Life is good, wild, and sweet—let the music play on (play on, play on, play on). LET'S GO TO PRESS.
The Supremes are starting their hearings on the constitutionality of Obama's healthcare overhaul—but so far? BOOOOOORING!
Seriously though, this health care law decision could have huge repercussions for Obama's reelection chances, and give thoughtless hillbillies the win they've been looking for.
The good news? Job figures are up! The not so good news? The economy will have to kick into high gear to sustain those numbers.
Thank you, Rick Santorum for refusing to bow out and hand the race to Mittens Romney. I want the torture to continue as long as possible! (Also click through to see a hilarious picture of Santorum looking like an asshole.)
Santorum looks like an asshole again, after defending his decision to call a New York Times reporter question "bullshit."
An open mic catches Obama asking the Russians for "more space" regarding missile defense—which is exactly what I asked my ex-girlfriend for before... well, you know.
Hey North Korea! What are you doing with those long-range rockets, pray tell?
The wife of the soldier who allegedly murdered all those Afghan civilians says she can't believe he'd do such a thing. :(
Is Miley Cyrus engaged to that guy from The Hunger Games? SQUEEEEE!!! Somebody said, "Hunger Games!"
Speaking of "SQUEEEEEEE!" The Hunger Games rakes in a boffo box office over the weekend. SQUEEEE!!
Locally, an officer-involved shooting on the corner of SE 37th and Stark (around Laurelhurst Park). Our Nathan is en route and will provide details when available.
Now here's what's going on in your neck of the woods: Partly cloudy today, but things are gonna get much rainier. Pull in your wash off the line!
And finally, Herman Cain catapults a bunny and shoots its face off. BECAUSE HE LOVES THIS COUNTRY!!
