    U.S. troops conducted airstrikes where al-Shabab militants were meeting in Somalia Monday. Associated Press is reporting that six were killed, but the fate of the group's leader is still unknown. 

  • The FBI is investigating the recent theft and distribution of nude photos from a bevy of female celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and Kirsten Dunst. Apple is looking into whether the hacker(s) obtained the photos from its cloud storage service, iCloud. 
  • Chicago is spending millions to line streets where children walk to school with random adults.  
  • A voluntary moratorium on porn production has ended, after a test showing an adult-film actor to have HIV was revealed as a false positive.  
  • The Illinois Libertarian Party (LP) filed a criminal complaint against the state GOP, alleging the party hired private investigators to visit the homes of those who signed an LP petition. 
  • Texas Gov. Rick Perry deleted an "unauthorized" tweet from his account calling District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg "the most drunk Democrat in Texas." 
  • Commence the secondhand e-smoke freakout!
