Rick Santorum In 2008: Obama Joined Church For Power
Santorum is at the center of a storm right now over his comment that Barack Obama follows a “phony theology” and an earlier suggestion that mainline Protestants aren't Christian. But this isn't the first time he's addressed Obama's faith. In August 2008, Santorum suggested that President Obama only joined a church to launch his political career: “Faith was an avenue for power.” Santorum added, “I never judge someone's faith personally.”

CHANDLER, Arizona—Locked in a fierce battle with Rick Santorum in the Arizona and Michigan primaries, Mitt Romney unveiled his tax plan by promising all Americans a tax cut.
"I'm going to lower rates across the board for all Americans by 20 percent," Romney declared.
Romney's plan would lower all personal income tax rates, with the highest being reduced from 35 percent to 28 percent — the top rate signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. He would also cut the corporate tax rate to 25 percent (below the 28 percent that the Obama administration is hoping to achieve).
Romney would partly pay for his tax proposals by cutting government spending to 20 percent of GDP by 2016 — savings he said will be partly achieved by repealing President Barack Obama's health care reform law. He will also cap deductions on the nation's highest earners.
"The result will be a pro-growth tax code that still raises the necessary revenue, retains the existing progressivity, and ensures that middle-income Americans see real tax relief," the Romney campaign said in a press release.

Kellogg’s Creates "Totes Amazeballs" Cereal Based On A Twitter Joke
So this is pretty cool: after Tim Burgess, of the band The Charlatans, tweeted a joke about inventing a new cereal called “Totes Amazeballs,” Kellog's made it and then sent the frontman a box of the cereal. Hold on a second: is Kellog's cereal cool again?
Unfortunately, they only made one box. Burgess explained the whole story to AdFreak:
"I heard someone use the expression Totes Amazeballs, and it sounded like something from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I sent a cheeky tweet saying I'd invented a new cereal and that Kellogg's were interested. But within an hour they'd got in touch."
A spokeswoman for Kellog's UK continued the story:
"It all came about a few weeks ago when Tim tweeted his fans about wanting to create a super cereal called Totes Amazeballs. We really try to make the most of Twitter here at Kellogg's, and when we saw the tweet, we knew we had to make something special for him."
Sooo, Kellog's: how about a box of BuzzFeedio's or BuzzFeaties for our office?

Did Mitt Romney Just Join Occupy Wall Street?
Embraces the language of Occupy movement to sell his tax plan. Pushes “fairness” agenda like Obama.
(Getty Images / http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/02H15Q0byEcDB/1000x.jpg)
CHANDLER, Arizona—Mitt Romney embraced the language of the Occupy movement in order to sell his tax policy today, saying he wants to maintain the current progressivity in the tax code, while lowering rates for all.
"I am going to lower rates across the board for all Americans by 20%. And in order to limit any impact on the deficit, because I do not want to add to the deficit, and also in order to make sure we continue to have progressivity as we've had in the past in our code, I'm going to limit the deductions and exemptions particularly for high income folks. And by the way, I want to make sure you understand that, for middle income families, the deductibility of home mortgage interest and charitable contributions will continue. But for high income folks, we are going to cut back on that, so we make sure the top 1% pay their fair share or more."
Romney also appropriated the term "fairness" to sell his plan, taking a page from President Barack Obama's playbook.
"The principle of fairness must be preserved in federal tax and spending policy," his campaign said in a press release. He and Democrats, of course, have a different definition of the term.

The World's Shortest Man
Meet Chandra Bahadur Dangi, the 72-year-old Nepalese man who will soon be named world's shortest at 22-inches. Here's a pictorial travelogue of the journey from his remote village to Kathmandu, where he will be measured by Guinness World Records to claim the title of World's Shortest Man.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi, a 72-year-old Nepali who claims to be the world's shortest man at 22 inches, looks on as villagers measures him near his home in Reemkholi village, Dang district, some 335 miles southwest of Kathmandu. Pilloried by neighbors, laughed at in freak shows and spurned by the women he admired from afar, Chandra Bahadur Dangi has always seen his tiny stature as a curse. But Dangi sees the potential of being a world record holder as a positive, life-changing turn of events.

Fired "Chink In The Armor" Headline Writer Speaks Out
Anthony Federico was fired last week after writing the headline “Chink In The Armor” to accompany the ESPN story of Jeremy Lin's first loss as a starter. Federico took to his Twitter account (and TwitLonger) today to apologize and tell his side of the story. It's pretty moving.
I wrote the headline in reference to the tone of the column and not to Jeremy Lin’s race. It was a lapse in judgment and not a racist pun. It was an awful editorial omission and it cost me my job.
I owe an apology to Jeremy Lin and all people offended. I am truly sorry.
Actions speak louder than words. My words may have hurt people in that moment but my actions have always helped people. If those who vilify me would take a deeper look at my life they would see that I am the exact opposite of how some are portraying me.
They would see that on the day of the incident I got a call from a friend – who happens to be homeless – and rushed to his aid. He was collapsed on the side of the road due to exposure and hunger. They would see how I picked him up and got him a hotel room and fed him. They would see I used my vacation time last year to volunteer in the orphanages of Haiti. They would see how I ‘adopted’ an elderly Alzheimer’s patient and visited him every week for a year. They would see that every winter I organize a coat drive for those less fortunate in New Haven. They would see how I raised $10,000 for a friend in need when his kids were born four months premature. They would see how I have worked in soup kitchens and convalescent homes since I was a kid. They would see my actions speak louder than my words. They would see that these acts were not done for my glory, but for God’s. They would see that each day I live and will continue to live a life of joy and service.
It never has been or will be my intention to hurt anyone.
I wrote thousands and thousands and thousands of headlines in my five years at ESPN. There never was a problem with any of them and I was consistently praised as an employee – both personally and professionally. Two weeks prior to the incident I had my first column published on espnW.com. My career was taking off. Why would I throw that all away with a racist pun? This was an honest mistake.
It is also crucial that people know that the writer of the column had nothing to do with the headline. I wrote it and now I take responsibility for it.
I am actually a Knicks fan and an ardent supporter of Jeremy Lin. Not surprisingly, he has handled the entire situation with grace and class.
Now I have to find a new job and move on with my life.
My solace in this is that ‘all things work together for good for those who love the Lord.’ I praise God equally in the good times and the bad times.
-Anthony Federico
