EAT YOUR WAY TO A CONCEALED WEAPONS CHARGE:  A 500 pound Houston inmate hid a gun inside his flab and the guards couldn’t find it.  Ew!

AN “IN-TENTS” EXPERIENCE?:  A San Diego resort hotel is offering a promotion where guests can camp out in their rooms, even having to bring their own toilet paper.  If they want true realism, they should put mosquitoes and a bear inside the room.

A NEW BOOK EXAMINES HOW WE GOT INTO SO MUCH DEBT WITH CREDIT:  Let me save you some reading time with this brief summary – people are stupid when it comes to money.

NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND:  Canadian divers may have found a U.S. military plane that crashed in 1942.  There were five souls that went down with the plane.  Let’s hope they are able to recover the bodies as well and finally lay them to rest.  We honor their service and sacrifice.

A BRIT WHO ALREADY HAS UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE THINKS WE’RE CRAZY FOR PURSUING IT:  Daniel Hannan interview on the Glenn Beck program.   Also, Keith Hennessy explains why Obamacare would decrease wages, especially for lower income workers.  Via Instapundit.

HERE’S THE SITUATION IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WITH UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE:  Cuba is running out of toilet paper.  If they can’t even wipe their butts, there’s not much chance of early screening for cancer with colonoscopies, either.

NOW WE KNOW WHY THAT AUGUR IS SO AWESOME:  Pitchman Billy Mays died of heart disease brought on by cocaine use.  Are there any famous people who aren’t doing some kind of drugs?
