• Well, we all know that the majority of the people that are coming to Arizona and trespassing are now becoming drug mules.
• Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer • Saying the kind of thing that’s a weeeeeeeeeee bit controversial, but considering her record as governor, that wouldn’t be anything new. Brewer went even further, saying this: “So they are criminals. They’re breaking the law when they are trespassing and they’re criminals when they pack the marijuana and the drugs on their backs.” We offer the same advice to her that we have to Rand Paul in the past: Keep quiet or people might think you’re crazy. source

• Right now, it sucks to be Kellogg’s. The company was forced to recall numerous brands of cereal over a reportedly soapy/metallic/stale flavor that some of their cereal boxes had. Sure, it was a lot of cereal, but we were also curious how many bowls of cereal that actually was. So we did the math. And this is going to affect a lot of mornings.

• 28 million boxes recalled for a weird odor and taste (eww)

• 20 complaints about cereal that tasted like soap or metal (eww)
• 13 average number of ounces in the various recalled boxes
• 353M number of servings of cereal that is – based on our math, below

• 69Mbowls of Apple Jacks, based on an average of 12.85 servings per box
• 95M bowls of Corn Pops, based on an average of 11.78 servings per box
• 148Mbowls of Froot Loops, based on an average of 12.63 servings per box
• 41Mbowls of Honey Smacks, based on an average of 15.3 servings per box

• » Methodology: We based our findings on the various serving sizes available for each type and size of cereal, dividing evenly for each serving size. We then multiplied by the average serving size – Kellogg’s provides this on their Web site – which in most of the cases was one ounce, making the math relatively easy. While it’s likely that Kellogg’s sold more Apple Jacks than Honey Smacks, we unfortunately do not have exact counts. One thing we do know is that Froot Loops’ share of the market is, at minimum, 26 percent larger than any of the other brands, so we took that into account. Oh yeah, if you’re like us, you probably eat double the size of the recommended serving without realizing it. Because we don’t measure. We just pour.

• Let’s face it. Everyone’s known this about politics for years. It’s just a game of sanding off as much about your personality as possible in an attempt to not outwardly offend anyone. Unless you’re Alvin Greene. Then it’s a matter of getting through another interview without completely falling apart. That’s the kind of game that we like.

• It’s been a long time coming … The decision should soon bring to fruition our six-year effort to create a specific Web address for online adult entertainment, and comes on the heels of an independent review that declared that ICANN’s previous decision to deny dot-xxx was wrong.
• ICM Registry Chairman Stuart Lawley • Cheering the decision to allow new .xxx domains specifically for porn sites. Wait … is that really what he said in that first line? That sounds like the kind of dirty joke that he’s probably been saving up for this moment. He also claimed to be “excited” by the move. Can we just call Stuart Lawley a double-entendre machine already? source
