CP3 registers 2nd triple double in as many games

Yahoo! Sports:

Chris Paul and David West gave the Los Angeles Clippers another reminder of what they lacked most: a formidable one-two punch.

Paul recorded his sixth career triple-double, getting 17 assists, 14 points and 10 rebounds for the New Orleans Hornets, in a 99-87 victory on Monday night. West scored 27 points, including a pair of jumpers that diffused a rally by the Clippers midway through the fourth quarter.

“We really wanted to come out aggressive,” West said. “I think we’re starting to get a better rhythm and we’re playing well. I’m a little more relaxed, playing looser. I’m not as worried about making mistakes.”

West scored a season-high 33 points, and Paul had 29 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds in New Orleans’ 109-97 victory Saturday night. The Hornets beat the Thunder for the second straight night to push their losing streak to 11.

Palin admits she forgot to vote

She [Palin] talked and laughed with her supporters alongside her husband Todd. She took a moment to speak to reporters and was caught off guard when some asked her about who she voted for.

The governor said, "I don't have to vote. Nobody does. That's really cool about America."

Palin top aide Kris Perry has brushed off criticism and commended the move as "The single best thing anyone has ever done, ever."

Mike Nizich, chief of staff for the Governor, said the abstention showed "courage and leadership and a faith and confidence in the straight talk express."

Palin, dismissing charges of ineptitude and absent-mindedness, explained, "I didn't need to vote, god is my vote, like it says in the bible." She had no comment when pressed on where in the bible it says that.

Schwarzenegger warns that robo-calls seek to destroy humanity

CNN - Governor Schwarzenegger made a break from the Republican platform to warn that robo-calls are the first wave of seemingly unstoppable cyborg assassins sent back from the year 2029 by a race of artificially intelligent machines bent on the extermination of the human race. These cyborgs are known as Terminators and were invented by Skynet, a form of artificial intelligence created by Cyberdyne Systems. In the near future Skynet will gain self-awareness, take over all military hardware, and initiates a nuclear war against humanity.

"First they get the phones," the governor explained, "and then they get the refrigerators and internets, then the planes with the bombing and the shooting."

Snopes and factcheck.org have already largely debunked the story as another Republican scare tactic, mainly objecting to the flaws in the explanation of Terminator time travel and taking particular issue with the predestination paradox. But at least it was entertaining to hear Schwarzenegger pronounce "refrigerator."

Breaking News: Black guy tired of being asked "Hey, how bout that Obama?!"

Craig Johnson is missing something and he wants it back -- Silence.
"I used to think white people roll out of bed and start chit-chatting and they're happy, but now I realize it's not all that it's cracked up to be."

Craig can't walk down the street of his upper class Connecticut neighborhood without people greeting him with "How 'bout that Obama!"

"It's worse than when people ask me for NBA scores," explained Johnson, "I mean, it's not even like their asking me a question anymore, apparently it [How 'bout that Obama!] has become a greeting interchangeable with hello when I'm around. Sociologically, it's fascinating how these people seem to pat themselves on the back when engaging other people, but having to live it is a pain in the ass."

"I want it to go back to the way it was, obviously not that far back, maybe mid nineties. I don't want to know everyone's life story, I don't want to make an event out of seeing someone I see three times a week. It takes me 4 times longer to get through the supermarket these days. But you know, they say you can't stop progress, I might just have to find a place to move to where people still treat me with the same mix of disinterest and quiet envy... you know what I mean."

And we did know what he meant. We absolutely did. We're all a little envious of Mr. Johnson.
