Matt Cherette · 04/08/11 02:49AMIf there's a word to describe Gary Busey, "normal" is definitely not one of them. Case in point: Busey's interview with Jay Leno on this evening's Tonight Show, which was chock-full of insane moments. Here they are in one handy video!

Remember the government's color-coded terror alert system? Sure you do. It was fun, festive, and went with everything. Well, it's history. Back in January, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to phase out the system. So what will replace it? As of April 27, terror alerts will come in just two forms —"elevated" and "imminent"— and will be broadcast over the two most popular social networks.

It seems as though Marine Corps Gen. James Amos (pictured, third from left), a onetime outspoken opponent of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal, has had a change of heart. Where only recently he was testifying that letting gay soldiers serve openly would have a "strong potential for disruption at the small unit level," today he told the House Armed Services Committee that "the clear majority of [feedback] is very positive." Which means gay soldiers could serve openly as soon as this June. Ha! Suck on it, House Armed Services Committee.

Forty-two United States Senators have signed a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding more prosecutions over adult pornography via the "vigorous" enforcement of federal obscenity laws. The Obama administration has not filed any new adult obscenity cases, because it has plenty of other actual work to do than to enforce dated, pandering laws about videos of adults having dirty sex.
Libyan Woman Who Stormed Hotel to Tell of Her Rape Speaks
Adrian Chen · 04/07/11 03:51PMToday CNN broadcast the first on-camera interview with Eman al-Obeidy, the Libyan lawyer who stormed a Tripoli hotel and struggled to tell journalists of how she was raped by pro-Gaddafi forces two weeks ago. She tells CNN that she was "brutally tortured to the point of them entering weapons inside of me" and alcohol was poured in her eyes. Apparently she's relatively safe now, though she's been harassed by Gaddafi's thugs since.
Boy with No Hands Wins Handwriting Contest
Maureen O'Connor · 04/07/11 03:46PMLet us take a break, now, from our daily diet of sarcasm and filth for a heartwarming tale: Nicholas Maxim, a boy born with arms that end at the elbow, won educational publisher Zaner-Bloser's annual National Handwriting Contest this year.
