1) To preserve democracy in Honduras, Micheletti and his cronies oust democratically elected President Zelaya at gunpoint; to protect the Honduran constitution, they suspend the civil liberties granted therein; to prevent anyone from thinking they're dictators, they raid and shut down major news outlets.

2) A government census worker is murdered in Kentucky, most likely because he worked for the government.

3) There was a facebook poll asking if President Obama should be assasinated. (I'm telling you, Facebook is evil.)
