'Ongoing Investigation' Drinking Game
By Amanda Congdon, Rocketboom
Quarters is so last century. Catch up with the times with the Karl Rove 'ongoing investigation' drinking game. Here's how: Grab a few cases of beer and start chugging every time Bush's press secretary Scott McClellan says he won't comment on Rove's role in the CIA leak case because there's an 'ongoing investigation.' Amanda Congdon demonstrates by skillfully kicking 'em back in a Rocketboom vlog segment. Warning: Alcohol poisoning could result from playing for as little as five minutes during one press briefing. (Thanks, Wonkette.) -- Hannah Lobel

Fallen Fruit
By Staff, Fallen Fruit
Line the streets with fruit trees. So goes the manifesto of the Fallen Fruit public art project based in Los Angeles. The group wants cities to scrap 'frivolous and ugly landscaping' in favor of edible greenery. And they've got maps to help their fellow Angelenos find their way to the fresh delectables. -- Hannah Lobel
