Republican Bob Turner stunned Democrats by winning Anthony Weiner’s vacated Congress seat in Brooklyn, and a Republican candidate also won a seat in Nevada in a blowout. Two new GOP lawmakers will be taking their seats in Congress today. President Obama has created two jobs and for the first time he deserves all the credit for it.

Tom Brady called upon New England Patriot fans to get drunk before Sunday’s home game with San Diego. There was no public outcry. A quarterback who threw for five hundred yards the previous week can say anything he’d like as long as he doesn’t kill dogs.

NASCAR officials announced the sport will attempt to go green by planting trees around the track and on the infield. This is insane. If the drivers crash into just one of those trees it could end their PGA careers and cost them two hundred million in alimony.

The Department of Health released statistics showing a huge shift in U.S. drug habits. For the first time more people died from prescription drugs than illegal drugs. The Jackson family never should have published that book of Michael’s favorite recipes.

President Obama’s speech calling for tax hikes sank the stock market two hundred points. His speech to Congress sank the Dow two hundred points. He could save the Pentagon lots of money if he’d start giving speeches about reforming the Chinese Navy.

The Justice Department was cited by a U.S. auditor for spending four million dollars on snacks and pastries at ten DOJ conferences in one year. It’s expected. They’ve been going around the country confiscating medical marijuana and the pastry bill just followed them.
