Theft We Can Believe In

• Happy July 3rd, America! Today is the day where we proudly take off work, because what’s the point of independence anyway if we don’t get a day off, right?
• This Les Otten character, who is running for Governor of Maine, stole Barack Obama’s internets basically wholesale. Otten may deny that he copied Obama’s logo and website design (bullshit!) but he won’t deny all the press coverage his campaign’s gotten because of it. (Les Otten/Barack Obama/Google News)
• Jon Stewart does not care for America’s Governor™ Mark Sanford. Specifically, why does this Sanford character not just shut up about his affairs and let us mourn Michael Jackson in peace?? (TPMtv)
• Researchers at Britain’s National Archives have discovered an original printing of the Declaration of Independence. Apparently Her Majesty’s Government has just been taking our word on the whole “independence” thing for the past couple hundred years, so it’s nice to know they finally have it on paper. (AP)
• Your Vatican is investigating its nuns for… not being nun-ny enough? It’s not really clear, not even to the nuns, why this investigation is taking place, other than because the male-dominated Catholic Church is bored. Or possibly becuase the nuns don’t hate the gays hard enough. Anyway, keep up the good work, I guess. (New York Times/Pandagon)
• Next time you go to Disney World, check out the Obamatron 9000, Disney’s new Barack Obama robot, in their “Hall of Presidents” exhibit, according to this report from CNN’s Rob Marciano, the world’s most obviously bored television reporter. (CNN)
