6/9

1. In Sweden, the Pirate Party has won a seat in the European government. It’s the first time Swedish pirates have done that since the Vikings. And they celebrated arrr night long.

2. In California, students are going to get internet textbooks instead of physical ones. Man, you thought kids were distracted by windows in classrooms -- now outside the windows put people having sex. And yes, I saw the whole windows / Windows pun, but it was too easy. Only the best for my readers!

3. In California, Governor Schwarzenegger is thinking of selling San Quentin prison, because it’s on prime real estate, with a gorgeous view right near San Francisco. The biggest opposition to selling the prison is from lawmakers, who often refer to San Quentin as the “Retirement Home”.

4. Former lead singer of Poison, Bret Michaels, was injured by a piece of scenery during the Tony Awards. It marks the first time Michaels was injured during an awards show because it was the first time he was ever invited to one.

5. A website that makes micro-loans to entrepreneurs in the Third World is now going to offer loans to people in the United States. Yes, I’d like one of those loans to start a new business. It’s called: “Paying My Rent Inc.”
