Sweaty muscular prisoners running amok on a hot sunny day in Indiana..That's a story that MSRNC can really wrap their arms around.. It might even make it into their DOC-BLOC (aka prisons we have come to know and love)

5. Hey

We all know how MSNBC loves those incarceration stories!!!

Seriously, though, I hope it gets contained soon and without too much damage.

8. LOL - You are a riot (no pun intended). Did you see who they

replaced Imus with?? Rightwingnut - Schmerberger something. Ok, they were stupid to fire him (from a future monetary position) but - hell, they could have gotten some a lot better than they did, for sure.

11. I stopped

watching the news because I thought I was going to puke if I saw another story on the VTech incident.
I hope no one gets hurt in this newest one.
