February 24th Edition

Jason Collins is surprisingly the same mediocre basketball player he was before announcing he was gay, doesn't try rubbing butts with other players. When Collins came out as gay a few months, he didn't have a roster spot on a team. He had played 14 season in the NBA and was never more than a serviceable player. Many assumed a team would sign Collins for the publicity alone. It took nearly two-thirds of the season to be played before a team finally gave Collins an opportunity. The New Jersey Nets signed Collins to a 10-day contract over the weekend. He played in his first game last night. Nobody expected it, but he was the same mediocre player he was during his previous years in the NBA. Everyone thought he would become a superstar after coming out as gay, or that he would forget how to dribble and just go around trying to rub butts with other players..

John Dingell says no Congressman should ever serve 60 years. Dingell has represented Michigan in Congress for over 59 years. He's finally ready to retire, but not because he can't still get the job done. "I'm still just as capable as I was when I first stepped onto the floor in 1955," said Dingell. "I've just always said, no one man should ever serve 60 years in Congress. I'm taking my own advice and stepping down. Thank you." Dingell then forget where he was and started yelling at the reporters to "get out of his house."

Uganda defends anti-gay law by pointing out that it's now illegal to have sex with minors too. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni was met with applause after signing the bill into law. The new law nets you 14 years in jail for having gay sex. You could get life imprisonment for repeated gay sex, sex with a minor, a disabled person and someone infected with HIV. Uganda was quick to point out the sex with minors thing to critics of the law. They claim that gay thing is just a very small part of the bill. What lawmakers failed to mention is that only homosexual activity with a minor is punishable.

Comcast takes money from Netflix and ruins the Internet. This will be the beginning of the end for Internet. It'll never be the same.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts has the sniffles of cancer. Wrestling fans don't know how to react. At first they are saddened that he has cancer. Then they realize it's just knee cancer. Which sounds like a pretty weak form of cancer. Knee cancer is like the sniffles of cancers.

3-person embryo fertilization likely not to be allowed because "it's playing God." Two-person embryo fertilization to still be allowed, because that's how God is making babies. In some beakers and stuff.
