Online headline: "Tales of the Deep: Breaching Whale Belly-Flops on Yacht" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought this might have been an Algore sighting.

From a fellow BCer serving overseas who still has a wonderful sense of humor:
The heat index in Columbus: Weather: Heat index expected to hit 104

L-E "soundoff" : " I graduated from Jordan High in 1968, and I’d put my education against any Columbus High graduate from that date forward." -- Let's see, when I was at Columbus High, I was taught that once I had completed the school's requirements, and given my diploma, I would be allowed to declare, "I was graduated from Columbus High School."

Senator Chris Dodd and Representative Barney Frank brought down the mortgage/housing market with their legislation, and now potUS Nero-bama has signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law.
