Jay Leno has been tapped to host this year’s White House Correspondents Dinner. We’re still with CoCo.
- Talk about lucky #13…congrats to all Mizzou’s students on surviving another semester! Happy summer!!! 5.13.10
- Congrats to Duke and Coach K on their fourth NCAA basketball national championship. No matter how much you hate Duke (probably a lot), you have to respect what Coach K has done for the game of basketball. 04.05.10
- Now that the world’s favorite blog (hint: us) has a new roman-numeral name, we want to celebrate! Toga party, anyone? 3.23.10
- Congratulations to all the Academy Award winners — especially Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman to ever win Best Director! She beat out ex-husband James Cameron, too. We guess success is the best revenge after all. 3.08.10
- Happy Texas Independence Day to our readers from the Lonestar State. Yeehaw! 03.2.10
- The Winter Olympics are in full swing, and you know what that means: condoms? That’s right! The apparently sexually-charged Olympic Village was provided with 100,000 this year, or 14 per person. Budget wisely, athletes. 2.18.10
- It’s Valentine’s Day, hooray! Your Column5 editor sends lots of love, hearts, etc. We’ll be off eating chocolates out of the box, if you need us. 2.14.10
- Legendary fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London apartment this morning. It was a suspected, but unconfirmed, suicide that took this gem from the fashion world. Couture will never be the same. 2.11.10
- On this day in 1996, world chess champion Gary Kasparov lost a game of chess to Deep Blue, an IBM computer. On this day in 2010, we’re guessing most people play chess exclusively on computers. Checkmate. 2.10.10
- Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints on winning their first Super Bowl in franchise history! 2.07.10
