    About that "eradicated" smallpox… A few forgotten vials of the stuff were found in an unused storage room at the National Institutes of Health. Whoops.

  • President Obama is getting the business for his deer-caught-in-headlights response to the influx of tens of thousand of unaccompanied immigrant children in recent months.
  • Sarah Palin wants to impeach President Obama, which might mean something if she held a seat anyplace other than news shows.
  • Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Hillary Clinton are the leading contenders for their parties' respective presidential nominations, the latest poll says.
  • Paul is also teaming up with Sen Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on a proposal to make criminal sentencing around the country less draconian.
  • Customer cheers greeted the first legal marijuana sale in Washington state. Tight regulations keep the price sky high, so black market dealers shouldn't lose too much sleep yet.
  • Libertarian candidates show strength in roughly seven Senate races this year. North Carolina's Sean Haugh polls between 8 and 11 percent.
