Culture: Could Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston get back together?

  • I believe that wherever possible, if the parents can cooperate and co-parent in a positive way, the child will benefit. Levi and I are turning a new page here as co-parents to this wonderful boy and putting aside the past because doing so is in Tripp’s best interest.
  • Bristol Palin • Talking on “Good Morning America” about working together with Levi Johnston on parenting. There are some claims the new leaf goes even further, to the point where the two are a couple again, but that would probably mean that Ricky Hollywood would have to avoid going back to Hollywood for the rest of his life. Which is a world we don’t want to live in. source

U.S.: WTF: Seattle cop punches girl in face OVER JAYWALKING

  • Does not matter what kind of cop you are. Does not matter the situation. Does not even matter that the girls were being resistant. Definitely DOES matter that it happened in broad daylight in front of a large group of people. Jaywalking is an offense that does not lead to punching. This cop should get fired. source

Biz: Manufacturers use low interest rates to ramp up production

  • 1.2% boost in May’s industrial production levels source
  • » Why this is important: If companies are building more stuff, that means more jobs. However, it’s contingent on people buying the new stuff in stores. Manufacturers will only be able to keep building supplies if demand continues to increase. However, the current low interest rates at least help encourage companies to create supply when they otherwise wouldn’t.

  • 5¢ amount shoppers have to pay to get a plastic bag at any store in D.C.; yes, it’s annoying, but at least it’s encouraging people to use fabric bags instead source

Offbeat: Alternate plot line to “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” involves puppy

  • Remember this scene right here? It’s a pretty awesome scene from one of our favorite movies. Now, imagine that Mr. Herman was a German college student. And that, instead of (immediately after this scene) dancing on a bar stool to “Tequila,” he threw a puppy at them. Then he got away on a bulldozer. And then caused a huge traffic jam. Well, stop imagining, because it actually happened. Minus Pee-Wee. source
