New York state Sen. Greg Ball (R, C, I – Patterson) came under fire after he sent out a tweet expressing his hope that, if it saves any more lives, Boston bombing suspect Dzokhar Tsarnaev would face “torture.” Ball defended his Tweet with Gretchen Carlson on Fox & Friends on Monday and lamented that Tarnaev’s apprehension by American authorities makes his torture unlikely.

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) is the latest politician to dance his way into a pop culture craze.
Lewis, a civil rights-era veteran, is shown dancing Gangnam style in a new video to promote youth voting in the 2012 election. Lewis joined dancers from the hip-hop dance group Innonim in the video posted on YouTube and produced by Kollaboration Atlanta, an arts and civics participation group. National Journal first reported the video Friday, two days after it was posted.
The Lewis video comes a week after Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna (R), who is running for governor, and his wife, Marilyn, were seen in a video dancing Gangnam style at the Washington State Korean Association Korean Day festivities earlier this month. Unlike the McKennas, who jumped on stage for the full dance, Lewis only dances for a short portion in his video.
The McKennas were not the only ones dancing last week.

Control of the New York State Senate could come down to who has the best dance video.
Justin Wagner, a Democrat challenging state Sen. Greg Ball (R-Patterson) in a Hudson Valley district, released a new dance video on Thursday, weeks after Ball's campaign released their own videos. While Ball's video shows his campaign staff in a seemingly impromptu music-less dance, Wagner's work appears a bit more coordinated. The Ball-Wagner race is one of the most competitive in the battle for control of the Senate. New York political blog Capitol Tonight first reported on the Wagner dance video.
In Wagner's video, the candidate can be seen entering his campaign office and watching supporters dancing to Bill Clinton's campaign theme song, "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow." The video shows Wagner staff and supporters dancing at the office, in a minivan and in restaurants. Wagner's wife and baby daughter are also shown dancing in a pumpkin patch.

Today we’re going to try something new: If I go ahead and acknowledge this whole Cheryl Cole fiasco on The X Factor: USA, can everyone stop writing about? She didn’t work out, she got paid $1.5 million for not working out, and now she’s caused The Voice: UK to go into a bidding war between the BBC and ITV because she might judge.
Scientists have managed to trap and study antimatter for nearly 17 minutes now. As the article states, you can’t let antimatter hit matter, because then the U.S.S. Enterprise goes to Warp 9. Or something like that. In any case, what happened at the 18 minute mark?
The Los Angeles Times did a great story highlighting immigration inequality for binational same-sex couples.
Sony has announced plans for a sequel to Salt with Angelina Jolie. I actually caught the movie on Starz last week, and was pleasantly surprised.
