Welcome to PTI, boys and girls. In today’s episode, Shaq offers a ‘taste’ to Kobe.
— Tony Kornheiser, Pardon the Interruption … Seriously, Shaq’s rap was freaking hilarious, especially when he got the crowd to do a sing-along.

A county in Utah has stopped encouraging people to flush unused prescription drugs down the toilet because they might contaminate the water system. That action was taken after a report from the U.S. Geological Survey found chemicals from prescription drugs in streams and rivers.
— Towns question fluoride use (Chicago Tribune) … Umm, I would be pretty disturbed to find out that ANYTHING flushed down the toilet is making its way into the drinking water supply! Atmospheric transfer or not, it’s still unsettling.

Wikipedia Updater Fired For Scooping NBC on Tim Russert's Death

Hmm. Not sure how I feel about any firing or suspension. An embargo is an embargo, after all.

I found out on Tumblr, then Googled Russert and saw the news on Wikipedia with no reference and no one else (at that point) reporting his death; thus, I initially thought it was a cruel prank. Unfortunately, it was the truth, as I would come to find out within the next half-hour. I did wonder why Wikipedia had “scooped” everyone else, including msnbc.com; now we know.

Barack Obama is a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. His favorite book is the BIBLE, which he has memorized. His name means HE WHO LOVES JESUS in the ancient language of Aramaic, which is the language JESUS SPOKE before he learned English. He is PROUD that Jesus was an American.
— Teach the Controversy, a parody … in case you didn’t notice

The two Honolulu dailies have different takes on their top story. Bottom line: HMSA (my health insurance company) wanted to raise their rates by 12.8%. The state insurance division said they could raise their rates, but by “only” 10.4%.
