On August 6, Texas Governor Rick Perry will hold a giant rally in Houston called "The Response," which he's hyping as a day of prayer and fasting as Perry and his supporters ask God to fix America's problems.

As pleasing as it is to imagine that the wheel on Wheel of Fortune has existed forever, before even the game show, like the monolith in 2001, it was in fact designed by a human: Ed Flesh, who died on Friday at age 79 in California. Flesh was something of a game show specialist—besides Wheel of Fortune he was also the art director for Jeopardy!, The $25,000 Pyramid and Name That Tune—but he also designed the sets for talk shows and soap operas during his multi-decade career. He leaves behind David Power, his partner of 44 years. [THR]

You have to be pretty stupid, or pretty drunk, to lead the police on a car chase. You have to even drunker, and certainly more Amish, to lead the police on a car-vs.-horse-and-buggy chase.

They weren't offering a job, but when Apple board members discussed CEO succession with the head of a "high profile technology company," as the Wall Street Journal reported, they surely knew they were planting a seductive thought: "I could replace the most famous business executive in the world."

Google Plus is quickly becoming a hit among early adopters who want to pretend they're too good for Facebook. Now Google wants to go after the holy manna of social networking—celebs, and their wired fans.

Louisiana police arrested Jeffery Larcade on Friday for "video voyeurism" after one of his coworkers discovered his hidden camera duct taped to a urinal in the office. Is there no sacred space left in America?

If we didn't have statistical research on educational techniques, we'd never make breakthroughs like "Maybe we should stop beating children." And if we didn't have the state of Texas, we'd never have angry internet commenters passionately arguing that their state is about much more than dying while raping elderly women. Put these two dynamics together, and what do you get? A new report on how maybe Texas' "expel everyone" discipline plan should be re-examined.
