• Donald Trump [pictured] fires himself from his fake presidential run. I’m not sure his stunt got him quite the sort of publicity he wanted. | Update: (05/16/11 7:10 PM) – As I was saying.

• Texas House bans public servants from touching passengers’ privates during pat-downs. Okay, what’s the catch? There has to be a catch. It’s Texas. They can’t pass sane bills.
