On last night's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo season finale, 17-year-old Anna gave birth to her daughter Kaitlyn. We've known about Kaitlyn for a while now, mostly because she has an extra thumb on her right hand. The family was just as fascinated and amused as their audience — Alana joked about coveting the extra thumb for its assistance in grabbing cheeseballs, while her sister Jessica gave her niece her first "high six." Probably won't be her last, either.

A woman in Texas was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after she allegedly shot her husband to save her cat.

Yes, sure, global warming is leading us inexorably down the path to all-out global war due to massive human displacement and destruction of resources.

Brian Edwards and Tom Privitere are suing an anti-gay group called Public Advocate of the United States for using the couple's engagement photo in a homophobic advertisement.

The NFL referees are coming back! Not sure what that means? Here's a handy non sports fan's guide to the situation.

Remember Todd Akin? The imbecile Missouri state representative who made those "legitimate rape" comments about five weeks ago? Well, now that some time has passed and he's officially still in the race to be Missouri's next Senator (yesterday was the last day for him to withdraw), Republicans are lining up to support him again.

Barney Frank once ate a pot brownie. It made him "sleepy."

Sheriff Daryl Wheeler, of Bonner County in Idaho, may have solved the most important case of his career: that of a pinkie finger found inside a trout. When fisherman Nolan Calvin discovered the severed finger in a fish he was cleaning, he wasn't sure what to make of the situation.

Nancy Grace, the crazy lady who yells about justice on CNN's Headline News, might have the best account on Twitter.
