The Keychain iPhone Charger is a lifesaver of photos!

This Harley-Davidson motorcycle is a long way from home. It washed up on a Canadian island about 4,000 miles away from Japan, where it was lost in last year’s tsunami.
The rusted bike was found in a large white container where its owner, Ikuo Yokoyama, had kept it. He was located through the license plate number, Fuji TV reported yesterday.
The Harley is among the first items lost in the tsunami to reach the western coast of North America. In March, an Alaska man found a football and later a volleyball from Japan; their owners were located last week using names that had been inscribed on the balls.

This is hilarious
Of course, all of us should be honored to be listed on the TIME 100 alongside the two men who will be slugging it out in the fall: President Obama, and the man who would defeat him, David Koch.
Give it up everybody. David Koch.
Little known fact — David, nice to see you again, sir.
Little known fact, David’s brother Charles Koch is actually even more influential. Charles pledged $40 million to defeat President Obama, David only $20 million. That’s kind of cheap, Dave.
Sure, he’s all for buying the elections, but when the bill for democracy comes up, Dave’s always in the men’s room. I’m sorry, I must have left Wisconsin in my other coat.
I was particularly excited to meet David Koch earlier tonight because I have a Super PAC, Colbert Super PAC, and I am — thank you, thank you — and I am happy to announce Mr. Koch has pledged $5 million to my Super PAC. And the great thing is, thanks to federal election law, there’s no way for you to ever know whether that’s a joke.
By the way, if David Koch likes his waiter tonight, he will be your next congressman.
Colbert went totally Colbert on his fellow TIME 100 honorees the other night. Read the full speech here. You’ll be glad you did.

TSA agents got caught letting cocaine through L.A. and getting payoffs and now this. I know agents at the airport are often low paid part-time workers, but what happened to ethics and common sense? It’s time to clean house in the TSA.
A congressman is demanding explanations after The Daily reported yesterday on a TSA pat-down that terrified disabled 7-year-old Dina Frank.
Dr. Joshua and Marcy Frank say TSA agents harassed them at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City on Monday and delayed the Long Island, N.Y., family so much that they missed their flight to Florida.
“We will have our Homeland Security Committee staff meet with the Frank family when they return and we will insist on a full explanation from TSA,” Rep. Peter King, a Republican from Long Island, said yesterday.

We pay for this stuff and it goes right into the waste bin, and we’re not capturing it the way our recycling programs are intending us to capture it. We’re just sticking it in the ground and building mountains out of it.
About 69 % of our trash goes immediately into landfills. And most landfill trash is made up of containers and packaging – almost all of which should be recycled, says Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes, (via nprfreshair)
