  • Morgan Tsvangirai • Who was sworn in as Zimbabwe’s new Prime Minister today. Tsvangirai should have a challenging time in office, considering he’ll be up against President Robert Mugabe, who’s perhaps most famous for his third-world country’s ever-inflating dollar. • source

U.S.: We’re assuming Obama wouldn’t have wanted this delivery

  • A man, with a rifle. At the U.S. Capitol. The man, Alfred Brock, 64, of Winnfield, Louisiana, had an unregistered firearm and a truck full of ammo. He drove up near the north barricade in front of the Capitol and said he had a delivery for the president. Yikes. It’s not the first time an incident like this has happened, either. source
