Here are a few articles I didn't have time to get to today. You might find some of them interesting.

Some 15-year old in Denver wants to ban the circus. He already collected enough signatures to get a ballot referendum, so majority rule could keep Ringling Bros. out of Denver.

Oscar screeners were just sent out, but one of them has already been pirated to the internet. Given the gestapo tactics of the MPAA and RIAA, I would expect them to throw the book at the guy it had been sent to. To do any less would be hypocritical.

The SCOTUS gave the green light for random government road blocks. I tend to agree with Justice Stevens who, in his dissent, said that while pedestrians can cross the street to easily avoid a police hassle, motorists are pretty much forced to go through them and will be detained until the officer releases them. I don't care how many thugs are caught, this steps on too many people's rights and has way too much potential for government abuse.
