Read it at The Daily Beast GOING ROGUE 2. Palin: Correspodents' Dinner 'Pathetic' You betcha she's mad. On Saturday, Sarah Palin expressed her anger over the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, calling the event itself "pathetic" and slamming those in attendance. "That #WHCD was pathetic. The rest of America is out there working our asses off while these DC assclowns throw themselves a #nerdprom," read her tweet. While you could make the argument that she had made her point, the former vice presidential candidate wasn't done. Palin then took to her Facebook page, where she wrote a more in-depth explanation of why she hates the event so much. "Yuk it up media and pols," the post began. Read it at Politico REAL DEAL 3. Ricin Suspect Charged James Everett Dutschke, the 41-year-old former martial arts instructor arrested Saturday in connection with the ricin-laced letters sent to President Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, has been charged with attempting to use a biological weapon. Authorities say the Mississippi man, who denied any involvement earlier in the week ("I respect President Obama and love my country"), now faces life imprisonment. The ricin letter case took a mysterious turn Friday, when the original suspect, Kevin Curtis—a part-time Elvis impersonator who Dutschke had one hired for a party—was released. Speculation is now swirling that the former karate instructor had tried to frame Curtis for the crime—an allegation Dutschke fiercely refutes. Read it at NBC News WAITING TIME 4. Dzhokhar in Video-Recorded Cell After being released from the hospital Friday, 19-year-old Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is now being held in a small, video-recorded cell. The medical detention center—located about 40 miles outside of Boston—holds male inmates who need long-term medical care or mental health care. A spokesman for the prison described Dzhokhar's room as a small cell with a solid steel door and a slot for workers to pass him medication and food. While he has been placed in the tighter security part of the prison—meaning no television or radio—Dzhokhar likely still has access to a few books. Read it at Daily Mail I'M REALLY SORRY 5.

The Cynical Girl: National Hairball Awareness Day

---

National Hairball Awareness Day Posted: 26 Apr 2013 03:45 AM PDT People struggle with cat ownership for many reasons. One common reason? “My cat pukes too much.” Believe me, I get it. My cats are barf machines. My punk rock band name is Two Piles of Puke. We perform live, this Tuesday, at The Aragon Ballroom. Because I believe that a happy cat is a healthy cat who lives in a forever home, I am participating in National Hairball Awareness Day. If your cat pukes too much, take him to the vet. But you can be proactive, yo. A cat spends 30% of his life grooming. Domestic cats tend to shed continuously throughout the year, with peaks of activity occurring during Spring and Fall. And up to 2/3 of a cat's shed hair can be ingested as they self-groom. This is a battle. And you need to groom your cat. We use Furminator tools because we know Scrubby‘s ginger furs can't be digested. When it accumulates in his stomach, hairballs can form. They can lead to a number of problems, including regurgitation and vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, intestinal obstructions and loss of appetite. Bottom line? Scrubby uses Furminator. And Furminator supports the SPCA of Wake County. And they have mobilized an army of cat lovers to comb their cats and make fur mustaches to support healthy pet ownership. That’s pretty special and amazing. Enjoy! Happy National Hairball Awareness Day! PS — Do you want to win a Furminator? Leave me a comment and tell me about your pet. I’ll pick someone at random!
