>> Morehouse College, which spawned revolutionary civil rights thinkers like Martin Luther King, Jr., recently implemented a new dress code specifically against "five students who are living a gay lifestyle that is leading them to dress a way we do not expect in Morehouse men.” There goes five of the best dressed Atlantans.

>> In more unfortunate fashion news, Japanese swimmers with dyed hair, earrings or decorated fingernails could face a lifetime ban. A sad day for anyone hoping to see the Harajuku Synchronized Swimmer Girls in their lifetime. (Reuters)
>> A Russian coal miner is banking on someone buying his prized possession, a signed photograph of French bombshell Brigitte Bardot, to pay for an operation relating to his lung disease. I don't know how much lung operations go in Russia, but Ebay sells signed Bardot photographs for about $45. (Reuters)
>> Google continues its takeover of the world by soon offering users to buy or listen to songs on its main results page. Google is Watching. (Wall Street Journal)
>> And finally, a former Nixon White House aide thinks President Obama is not so different from Nixon and sees the beginning of an "enemies list." I guess it's only a matter of time before Obama tape records kicking his Portuguese Water dog. (USA Today)
