- How do you hide a mink coat in your underpants for three days? It's not a riddle, I really don't know. I've read this report several times now and I can't visualize how this might have worked. And for that I am very thankful.

- An upcoming reality show will reportedly follow employees of the Department of Homeland Security. Inside the DHS will tell "the real story of the day-to-day battle to keep us safe, prepared and resilient," according to some asshole at AMC.

- Anti-discrimination laws are pretty broad, but there's at least one class of people you can still discriminate against -- felons. In Semler v. G.E.
