Falling on a sword for Rupert Murdoch

Rebekah Brooks, the only person at News of the World who wasn't canned when the paper abruptly shut down, has resigned.

You know, honestly, I see Murdoch pointing to this as "Hey, we've dealt with the problem. Really we have." (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more)

News Corp has also had to drop their bid to completely buy British Sky Broadcasting. But the fallout should continue. It really should. Whether it will... that's another story altogether. Right now, there's not only the scandal of hacking people's phones to read the messages (and in at least one case, delete some messages), but there's also allegations of bribing police to look the other way.

And... the FBI is getting involved. There are more allegations of phone hacking, this set involving victims of the 9/11 attacks, and their families. News Corp, by the way, also owns Fox News, so needless to say, the U.S investigations have me interested.

Yeah, another completely not shocked moment

Marcus Bachmann, Michelle Bachmann's husband, defends his clinic's "Pray your Gay Away" methods.

Because we all know that only through JEEEEEEESUS can you wash that gay right out of your hair. (I apologize. I'm in a punny mood right now.)

But hey, it's okay, because obviouslyMarcus Bachmann was misquoted, or his words were altered or whatever.

Oh well, it's all better now.

Rupert Murdoch has issued a written apology for the whole "Sorry about illegally hacking your phones" thing that will be printed in British newspapers.

I guess all the investigations can be stopped now. He said... well, printed... that he's sorry.

Work with me brain!

A couple of weeks ago, I spent two-thirds of Thursday thinking it was Friday.

Today, I've been thinking it was Thursday, despite already ready a few web-comics that only update on the M-W-F schedule.
