The Ferrari 458 Italia starts to dive for the apex as Allan McNish in the Audi R18 tries to pass on the inside, coming in too fast:

The thing that fascinates me most? McNish’s Audi R18 LeMans car is a turbodiesel – very unusual as most racing cars run on something similar to jet fuel. It’s a V6 in fact, turbocharged to within an inch of its life.

Wait… wait… wait… Goooooooooooallll!!!

Some of us who are members of the Stinque Legal Eagle club may experience (or remember) on a daily basis the lovely hell that is known as “doc review” — where you are sitting in a cubicle with five bankers’ boxes full of pieces of paper and you’re supposed to read every single page (which hopefully has been Bates-stamped) in the next 8 hour shift and stick a post-it pad on any paper that looks like it might help your side of the case.*

We should probably also note this:

A FoxNews.com reporter was at the home when the police arrived.

Coincidence? Pre-arranged money shot? Or does it make a difference?

Sarah Palin cultists are not amused that Mama Grizzly had her snout swatted by the Brits:

A firestorm on the US right has erupted after the Guardian reported that Sarah Palin will be denied a meeting with Lady Thatcher on the grounds that it would be “belittling” for her to meet the darling of the Tea Party movement.

Rush Limbaugh, the conservative radio host, devoted the opening section of his radio show to denouncing the “preposterous” Guardian report, as Palin supporters accused Thatcher’s circle of disgracing the former prime minister.

Yes, well, but from what we hear, there’s not much left of the former PM to disgrace. From 2008:
