There is a winner in the National Spelling Bee.
After watching his sister try three times to win the Scripps Nationals Spelling Bee, Sameer Mishra put himself on a mission. "I told my mom I was going to do the bee," Sameer said. "And if I was going to do it, I was going to win it one day. And I guess it happened." Sameer spelled "guerdon" — a word that appropriately means "something that one has earned or gained" — to win the 81st version of the bee Friday night.

This is serious stuff.
A Fox News worker is suing over bedbugs in the office. The employee who says she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after being bitten by bedbugs at work filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the owner of the Manhattan office tower where she worked. Think O'Reilly got bitten?

Um...Why?

Seems as if we are all getting taken at the pumps.
The average U.S. gas prices have gone up 144 percent in the past five years — from $1.67 in May 2003 to $4.02 a gallon this month, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Over the same period, gas prices in France went up 117 percent to $9.66 a gallon. (WHAT???)
Gas in the world's No. 2 oil producer, Russia, runs about $3.68 a gallon — nearly that in the United States, where the average wage is about six times higher.
Much of the Russian cost comes from taxes, which run between 60 and 70 percent.
Turkey faces $11.29 a gallon, which for a full tank in a midsize car can reach nearly $200, enough for a domestic plane ticket.
In Venezuela a gallon costs just 12 cents thanks to long-held government subsidies and plenty of oil.
Other countries are paying up too for gas.
Japan is paying $5.77. Germany $11.49. India $4.16. Britain $8.31.

So, what are these OPEC Bafoons paying for gas? Or, is it free?
