Well, I'll be damned...
-Headline of the day-
"Search ended for Michigan man lost in Hawaii blizzard." Seriously, I didn't know that problem was even possible. (WoodTV.com, Michigan)

GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee may have found a way to claim the high ground, while getting down in the mud. Mike announced to reporters in Iowa that he wasn't going to run an attack ad he'd produced to sling mud at Mitt Romney. Then he ran the ad for the reporters. This pretty much guarantees that the ad will get free air time as a news item.
"I have covered my share of bizarre political stories before... this is probably the most bizarre press conference I've ever been to," reported CNN's Dana Bash. "Huckabee announced to the 50-plus reporters and dozen cameras packed in to see his first negative TV ad that he'd had a change of heart -- and decided to pull the ad from Iowa TV stations already planning to run it."
"To that, an eruption of laughter from the press," Bash said of Huckabee playing the ad. "All likely thinking the same thing: Huckabee wanted credit for staying positive, but still make sure the message against Romney got out."
Hypocritical? You bet. Effective? We'll see. (Raw Story)
-Now that's just sad-
I always make it a habit to take a spin through reddit every day to catch underreported news stories. When I checked at 3:29 PM CST today, the top vote getter was a little depressing.
The title? "Vote up if you didn't get laid on New Years Eve."
No wonder everyone gets drunk. (reddit)
