Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who sometimes packs a pistol when he jogs, has said he's all for of the idea. Supporters of the bill say this will allow students to shoot back when a wacko starts to shoot up the campus ... or I suppose, when that football player steals your babe.

An ultra-violent video game that is set in the Mexican border town Ciuada Juraraz has officials up in arms. It's not surprising given that they are busy trying to fight the real crime the game mimics. 6,000 people have died in drug-related violence in Ciudad Juarez in 2009/10 making it one of the deadliest cities in the world.

The game's promotional slogan tells players to, "Take justice into your own hands and experience the lawlessness of the modern Wild West."

It was just plain weird when a clown named Tiririca won a seat in the Brazilian congress. Thing is, you can't keep a good clown down. When it came time for Tiririca to make his first vote, he pressed the wrong button on the computerized voting system and voted with the opposition party, instead of his own.
Opposition leader Duarte Nogueira, was happy for the unexpected support, although the government still won the vote.
"I went and thanked him -- after all, it's the support of the deputy who won the most votes in Brazil," he was quoted as saying by the Agencia Estado news agency.
A clown is a clown is a clown. Never vote for a clown!

The real question: What are the Scientologists doing about it!

The hacker group "Anonymous" has warned the wacky and hateful Westboro Baptist Church to stop its inflammatory protests or "the damage incurred will be irreversible" .... "neither your institution nor your congregation will ever be able to fully recover". The church, led by Rev. Fred Phelps, is known for its anti-gay protests at funerals of military servicemen sporting signs that celebrate deaths of the soldiers with signs such as, "God Hates the USA" or "Thank God for 9/11."
Anonymous was recently in the news it hacked the computer system of a security firm and posted thousands of document that described plans to attack WikiLeaks, the Bank of America and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
