Welcome to another set of poliPicks! I am sure you were eagerly awaiting the bag of goodies I have for your weekend, so lets not waste anytime and get down to it.
- When Mob met al-Qaeda: Put in adjacent jail cells, a former mob guy and an al-Qaeda terrorist struck various conversations and eventually became business partners of sorts. If this weren’t so dead serious it would make a great sitcom, a la Perfect Strangers.
- Bush is back!: After months of silence, the former prez returns to the limelight, bringing with him indirect swipes at Obama and stoking the flames of a “socialist” US. Welcome back!
- 7 Mexican Mayors Charged with drug shenanigans: In a raid in the state of Michoacan, 7 mayors were jailed for collaborating with the La Familia drug cartel. No word yet if this will hurt the mayors’ presidential ambitions or soap opera cameos.
- Arrested Development Documentary trailer: Because genius deserves promotion. Is it 2010, yet? (#1–but please also look at #18 for the sheer “Whaaaat?!” factor).
- Hot dogs, fireworks, and missile launches: This 4th of July, thanks to North Korea, might be less festive than last year’s.
- Sacha Baron Cohen’s brain: Meet Dan Mazer, his co-writer and longtime friend–the genius behind the genius.
- Who’s Who in Iran: Who’s on the left, right, center, and who are sworn enemies (a long list, indeed).
- Best. Wedding Invite. Ever.
- The Twitter #HoekstraFail: This is what happens when you think you are being insightful but are actually making no sense and sound ignorant.
