It seems like yesterday when we saw "shock and awe", saw Saddam captured in a hole, saw Saddam in his underwear and we lastly saw Saddam strung up for the world to see.

There's an unprecedented run on guns and ammo. That should really help stem the tide of all these mass killings. Arm your family members with AK-47s for security's sake. Long live Charlton Heston. ---Grant "Brad" Gerver

Ann Coulter Fooled Then Proceeds To Make It Worse

In her April 1 column, Ann Coulter fell for a fake April Fools' Day article by Car and Driver magazine that claimed that President Obama has ordered General Motors and Chrysler to cease their participation in NASCAR because it is an "unnecessary expenditure." Coulter wrote, "If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an 'unnecessary expenditure,' isn't having public schools force students to follow Muslim rituals, recite Islamic prayers and plan 'jihads' also an 'unnecessary expenditure'?

Shacking Up With The Palins

On CBS's The Early Show Wednesday, Johnston, 19, said the Palin family lied when they denied his previous claims that he lived with Bristol, 18, at their home. (He told Tyra Banks last week that Palin also probably knew he was sleeping with her daughter.)

"They said I didn't live there," Johnston said. " (They say) I 'stayed there.' I was like, 'OK, whatever you want to call it' -- I had all my stuff there. So, if you wanna call it 'staying there,' that's fine."

Asked if he stayed there every night, he said, "For awhile, yeah. So..."

Allison, a rescued green sea turtle who has only one flipper, left, swims with the aid of a fin attached with neoprene at the Sea Turtle, Inc. , in South Padre Island, Texas, Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Without the fin, developed at the turtle rescue facility, Allison can only swim in circles. The group had previously experimented with prosthetic flippers without luck.
