I have many leather bound books.

Michele Beadle, of Sports Nation fame, parodies Brett Favre wrangler commercials during that show in which they set the Guiness record for mentioning the word “Favre”. If the rest of the show was this interesting (it wasn’t), I may have watched (I wouldn’t).

Darth Vader has a new girlfriend, and Luke isn’t happy about it.

The New York Times digs through Michelle Obama’s ancestry, all the way back to slavery, and seems surprised to find some white folks. Duh.

Again, the most important story you won’t read this week: Which countries secretly declared war on the U.S. dollar?

NBC continues to shoot itself in the foot by canceling it’s best new show Southland. Apparently, the execs saw the first few episodes of the new season and decided it’s too gritty for 9:00 p.m. And they can’t air it at 10:00 because Leno is too busy tanking in the ratings every night.

And the President of the United States Barack Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize. That sound you hear is the Republican Party’s head exploding. They only celebrate when America loses.

Good Morning Forbes.
