Wet, but hardly wild (golf cancelled), Thursday...

Pat Boone is still alive?  Why?
President Barack Obama may have released his birth certificate this spring to debunk rumors that he was born outside the United States, but old school crooner Pat Boone maintains that our nation’s leader originated in Africa and has shown the world “a photo-shopped fraud.” (more, if you care)

R.E.M. was still together?  Why?
“We have decided to call it a day as a band,” the band said. “To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening.” (more, if you care)

But those were some seriously good muffins, man!
"We found the Department (of Justice) spent $16 on each of the 250 muffins served at an August 2009 legal conference in Washington," said a DOJ Office of Inspector General report released on Tuesday.  The DOJ also spent nearly $600,000 for event planning services for five conferences, the document said.  (more, if you care)
