    Wolfrum’s Word

    There are still 11 weeks to go until the November elections, but Silly Season is seriously underway. Over the past few weeks, some of the biggest political stories have been – Shirley Sherrod, changing the 14th Amendment and ignoring the First Amendment outright. The simple fact is that the GOP Republican Shadow Government will spam the political discourse to get the onus off their actual record. It’s what they do. But with unemployment off the charts and none of their economic plans amounting to much (why didn’t those Bush Tax Cuts protect the economy, anyway?) it would be pleasant to see U.S. voters see through the charade this time.

    News/Politics

    Pakistan Floods: It may be the worst natural disaster ever, as millions are homeless and 20 percent of Pakistan is now underwater. And with a world slow to respond, the devastation is just starting.

    France Owes Haiti: A group of scholars and activists have sent a letter to France telling them to reimburse Haiti for the exorbitant “Independence Fee” they charged them nearly 200 years ago. But much like how the world has reneged on donating money for the earthquake, Haiti won’t see a dime. But they’re used to that.

    North Korea: As the U.S. media focuses on mosque madness, North and South Korea get closer to war.

    OMG! A Mosque!: How can America let a Mosque be built near Ground Zero? It would totally clash with the liquor stores, bars and strip joints that pay homage to the hallowed ground.

    Endless War in Afghanistan: It’s all starting to make sense now.

    Entertainment

    Paste Magazine: Not all sitcoms suck.

    Free Lohan: Lindsay Lohan has almost finished rehab. Insert your own punchline.

    Double the Doogie: Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka are expecting twins from a surrogate. This is good news because all NPH news is good news.

    Sports

    North Korea Socked Hard: FIFA to look into whether North Korea abused it’s soccer team after its World Cup exit.

    PGA Championship: It sucks to be Dustin Johnson, but Martin Kaymer isn’t complaining about his first major title.

    Blogs

    Odd time Signatures: How Politico took over the Mosque meme.

    Pharyngula: Mississippi buys more anal sex toys per capita than any other state in the union. Insert your own … oh, never mind.

    Political Carnival: If there’s a stupid meme going on in Washington, you can bet Newt Gingrich will make it stupider.

    Second Passage: DADT gets a step closer to being abolished.

    Tweet of the Day

    The Mosque “debate” has one positive – Terri Schiavo can now RIP as she is no longer subject of stupidest political pandering.”

    Monday Wipe Out

    Because nothing starts a week better than watching a kid wipe out on a skateboard.
