Tech Buzz Is Andy Dick ripping off Sixty Days with his new house arrest web series? Like House Arrest with Andy Dick, this one chronicles a dude's life while stuck in an apartment on house arrest. He's in for doing “aerosol art.” Its got way less Dickage and more cats, so y'all might like this one.

Politics Buzz The Illinois governor was arrested for corruption, including charges that he tried to sell Obama's Senate seat to the highest bidder. The federal complaint, filed by none other than Patrick Fitzgerald (of Plame/Libby fame), is delightfully long and expletive-ridden, including the observation from Blago that a Senate seat “is a f—-ing valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.” Prosecutors also allege that Blago screwed over the Tribune Company and accepted many a bribe during the course of his tenure. It is a new dawn for Chicago politics.

Tech Buzz A graduate student named James Karl Buck helps free himself from an Egyptian jail with a one-word blog post from his cell phone. The post was broadcast using the micro-blogging platform Twitter. He is currently trying to save his translator Mohammed Maree, who is still being held.
