The Quincy Patriot Ledger reports Massachusetts sheriff Joseph McDonald (R) is defending a joke he made about President Obama during a breakfast for Republicans when he said the ghost of Abraham Lincoln visited Obama in his dreams and gave him advice on how to improve the country: "Go to the theater." Said McDonald: "It was absolutely in jest. It was a joke. It wasn't a new joke by any means."

The TSA in Phoenix reportedly forced a wheel-chair bound double-amputee Marine vet, who lost both his legs in Afghanistan, to take off his prosthetic legs for screening. [...] TSA then ordered the Marine vet to put the prosthetics back on and “walk” through a full body scanner, when he can’t even stand. The 22 year old is still trying to learn to walk in his new prosthetic legs.

It’s poignant to see a child who’s peaked before she even finishes kindergarten, but I’m not sure how five-year-old Daisy Morris is going to top this one: On a fossil-hunting trip with her family, she found the remains of a previously undiscovered dinosaur, which is now named Vertidraco daisymorrisae. The new dino is not only a previously unknown species, but an unknown genus, making Daisy’s find a really big deal.

New Jersey is considering similar legislation to that recently passed in California, banning “ex-gay” therapy to supposedly cure gay people, especially kids, through all sorts of bizarre and downright laughable techniques, such as the two I described above. Other techniques include “manning up” the gay guy, making him play sports and learn to act like a man, whereas lesbians are forced to put on pretty dresses and lipstick. This is what Chris Christie is unsure about. Governor Christie is saying that he’s just not sure he likes the legislation, because he’d hate to interfere with a parent’s right to use quack science to permanently damage their child and push them into suicide.
