A bizarre murder-suicide upstate: a "dairy farmer shot and killed 51 of his milk cows in his barn before turning the rifle on himself."
A school bus driver in the Bronx is a hero: he saved the lives of four disabled students after their bus burst into flames.
"Chelsea Clinton helped raise $65,000 for Haitian relief efforts by co-hosting a spin class at a Manhattan fitness club." Good for her!
A Catholic school in Queens was unusually affected by the Earthquake: 80% of its students are Haitian.
Bristol Palin has totally sworn not to have sex before marriage (again): "I just think it’s a goal to have and other women should have that goal." Eloquent!
Pope Benedict wants your local Catholic priest to get on the internet and start blogging. The Pope does not appear to be on Twitter... yet!

"you're a conservative because you believe no one should tell you what to do, but you want to tell other people what to do"
