Up top, we take a look at how sports can be a place where equality reigns...if it's equality of -ism slurs thrown from one player to another, that is.


Domestically, officers likely to be in crisis situations are not usually trained on how to handle crisis situations. Some police departments are trying to get everyone trained, but I'll bet the budgets stop other departments from achieving the same results.

Despite the lack of media coverage, Occupy Wall Street is gaining allies. Including the Pilots' union, for example. And once again, the solidarity among union members and their supporters reminds the corporate world that there are other organizations with power and supporters. In response to this, the police are taking peaceful protestors and visiting violence upon them. After these actions, the NYPD's foundation received a rather large donation from JP Morgan, quite likely as a thank you for those actions, although not explicitly so.

Elsewhere in the country, it makes a certain amount of sense - men who are supposedly "cured" of their sexual orientation are cruising the ex-gay therapy sessions, looking for hook-ups.

After taking a shaking, the Washington Monument will remain closed indefinitely.

In technology, an artificial sunlight-to-chemical enegery converter, or a solar cell about the size of a big leaf.

Into opinions, where Mr. Hunter believes that the President knows all the depressing numbers, and doesn't give a damn, opening the door for a Republican to run a Reaganesque campaign against him and win.

A Congressperson from Kansas believes that the federal government's proposed rule to get patient data to the secretary of Health and Human Services can only end poorly, because he's unsure about the government's ability to keep data confidential and because insurance companies, if forced to divulge their formulae, would go out of business and not be competitive.

Mr. Krauthammer believes that Mr. Obama's desire for fairness in the tax code will only hurt the economy and government revenues more, and that worse, since Mr. Obama is a committed liberal ideologue, no amount of practical knowledge, facts, or data can dissuade him from this. Messrs. Cole and Ohanian suggest that the way out of the economic depression is through supply-side fixes, like productivity, rather than demand-side fixes like stimulus spending. No doubt they agree with Ms. Collins that regulations are far too choking on he economy and should be pruned.

Last out, Mr. Pendry lays out his case as to why Sarah Palin should join the Republican race, and why he thinks she will win (because she's the antithesis of the Good Ole Boy Party).

Last for tonight, a series of correspondence between a viewer and Mr. Rogers, and then his father and Mr. Rogers. Programming such as his may never be duplicated. And a request to bring back a popular entertainer from his service in the Army.
