World: Guatemala’s dirty laundry goes up on YouTube. Scary.

  • “The history at the end repeats itself as usual in Guatemala.” The Central American country is understandably freaked out at the sight of this video on YouTube, which features attorney Rodrigo Rosenberg Marzano explaining (in Spanish) that he was assassinated at the hands of President Álvaro Colom Caballeros.

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
