The duct tape found on Caylee Anthony’s body didn’t bear her DNA or her mother’s, an FBI technician testified today—it actually matched a forensics examiner who had accidentally contaminated it. Thus began Casey Anthony’s defense, the AP reports. Anthony attorney Jose Baez called on FBI technician Heather Seubert, who…

Just a week after ex-New York Giant Plaxico Burress gets out of jail, the guy who enabled him to score his Super Bowl XLII-winning touchdown has put himself in a politically incorrect gulag of sorts. David Tyree, the former Giants wide receiver — who is best remembered for his stunning catch in the game, which

On Wednesday's All Things Considered, NPR's Ari Shapiro let The Daily Show's John Oliver and The Washington Post's Dana Milbank cast aspersions on some of the declared 2012 Republican presidential candidates and their surrogates. Oliver mocked the talking points of a Ron Paul spokesman as ” pointless ” and ” meaningless ,” while Milbank derided the candidacy of Herman Cain. Host Melissa Block introduced Shapiro's report about the White House correspondent's first visit to a post-presidential debate spin room, and gave a hint of its overall mocking tone: ” The spin room might be a good name for an amusement park ride or part of a fun house . That makes it a perfect fit for a presidential campaign, which can get a bit wacky even in these early days.” Shapiro picked up where Block left off: “The idea of a spin room somehow seems at odds with journalism. After all, spin is basically propaganda, distortion. A whole room devoted to the art suggests a place where reality is what you make of it.” He then cited as his first example a statement from Newt Gingrich's daughter/adviser Kathy Lubbers:

June 16, 2011 No Comment
Promoted in the top left of CNN's Belief blog is an article by openly gay CNN anchor Don Lemon on “How I Learned to Stop 'Praying Away the Gay.'” Lemon spent this childhood praying for God to change his sexuality, but then he went to college and “common sense began to take hold and I realized that no amount of prayer would change me into something that wasn't natural to me.” He “learned” that the Bible should never be taken literally: As I got older I began to realize that all these people and institutions interpreted the Bible somewhat differently. I had a sort of epiphany: the Bible was about the lessons you learned, not about the events or words. When I became old enough, intelligent enough and logical enough to discern the difference between metaphor and reality, everything changed. I realized that Jonah living in the belly of a whale was a parable written in the same vein as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. saying that he had “been to the mountaintop.” Neither Jonah nor King had actually been to those places. They were metaphors for lessons for those of us who cared to absorb them. So many of us, especially in the black community and in churches, tend to think that religious teachings happened word for word as they were written in Scripture. I think that's na

June 16, 2011 No Comment
Folks in NYC may have been able to get their hands on one a bit early (not to mention those that attended Google I/O ), but everyone else will finally be able to pick up a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 starting tomorrow. As expected, the WiFi-only Honeycomb tablet will run $499 for the 16GB model and $599 for 32GB at your choice of retailers, and Samsung says it will be available through Sprint in “mid-summer” as well (still just WiFi-only). What’s more, Samsung’s also promising to deliver a number of new features in a “future software upgrade,” including the TouchWiz UX that was originally intended to be included on the tablet, and Samsung’s Media Hub, which promises “easier downloads of rented or purchased content” and additional capabilities when the tablet’s connected to a TV via a dock or adapter. Head on past the break for the complete press release and a new promo video that offers a glimpse of some of those upcoming features, and don’t forgot to check out our full review if you’re still undecided.
