>> Now coming out of the Middle East: The Muslim Brotherhood In Egypt is going after the big-guns in protecting Islamic law, and they're targeting Beyonce, scheduled to perform in November! But don't they get it? Burkas totally don't go with "Single Ladies" metallic gloves. (Foreign Policy)
>> Former President George W. Bush is looking into becoming a motivational speaker, frequently referring to his faith in God in his first post-White House speech in Fort Worth. If anyone's going to motivate people through the eloquence of the English language, it's definitely him. (the Washington Post)
>> And finally, a 22-year-old Norwegian man was caught by customs carrying a tarantula in his bag and later after a full body search found to have 14 royal pythons and 10 albino leopard geckos taped to his body. The police were surprised to find more than one python when he dropped his pants. Har har. (Reuters)
