She can touch me if she wants...
-Karl Rove outs himself-
Check this out:
After asking the pallid political leader to "consider taking a fresh look at the science of global warming" things descended into high school cafeteria-style melodrama. After bantering back and forth about U.S. environmental policy (the girls reminded Rove that America leads the world in global warming pollution yet are doing the least about it, Rove shot back like a recalcitrant teenager, saying that China's worse) Rove attempted to abandon the conversation and go back to his table. When Crow reached out to touch Rove's arm, imploring him to stay, Rove short-circuited. "Don't touch me." "You can't speak to us like that, you work for us," Crow retorted. "I don't work for you, I work for the American people," Rove spat. "We are the American people," Crow apparently reminded him.

-There is just so much wrong with this story-
A Frankford Township, NJ resident was in the hospital with burns after a Christmas tree he was burning started a brushfire in his yard. Way to get right on top of getting rid of the tree, huh? Not content with with being the guy who torched his backyard with a four month old holiday spruce, the unnamed man decided to tackle this problem himself, trying to stamp the fire out while wearing flipflops -- hence the hospital visit. The fire was finally extinguished through the joint efforts of three fire departments, after having burned an area estimated to be 100x100 feet. If you're going to keep your tree around this long, just go ahead and get a fake one. Smokey the Bear could not be reached for comment. (Star-Ledger)
