Okay, I’ve held my tongue for awhile but seriously, what is up with California? They give a standing ovation to a child molestor (Roman Polanski earlier this year at the Oscars), elect some serial woman molestor (Schwarzenegger of course), and then stand up and applaud a suspected rapist (Kobe Bryant) like he’s a victim or something. Now to be quite fair, maybe he isn’t a rapist, but he still cheated on his wife and that shouldn’t be applauded.

In happier news, bubble gum is now 75 years old. The alternate World Series ended on a strange note. The results of the World Rock, Paper, Scissors Championships are in (yes, there is such a thing and they have a website).

On the strange end of things: why are we trying to sell money through TV ads?

On the “yeah, I want one, but only if no one else does” category, a story about a gadget you can get that changes streetlights.
