"The Washington Post quoted Rep. Mike Pence — criticizing Democrats' war funding bill — as saying, "A war funding bill should be about war funding and nothing else." But the Post did not note Pence's previous support for war funding bills that included non-defense spending." Oh Republicans.

"Kathryn Winkfein was pulled over for speeding while doing her weekly shopping in Austin, Texas. The officer shocked her with the taser gun after she resisted arrest and became argumentative." It looks like if you were a parent, both of them did the wrong thing.

"gdgt, the new consumer electronics site founded by Peter Rojasand Ryan Block that was first announced in September, hasn’t even launched yet. But it’s already managing to to draw millions of viewers for its coverage of major events, like Apple’s WWDC keynote on Monday, which saw 4.7 million views in less than two hours." Personally gdgt had the best coverage.

Kinda screwy for the rest of us.
