GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Those were the times we had. Sharing a joy that we thought would last. Memories of love and affection, never really was just like a dream. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

Typhoon Haiyan blasts the Philippines, leaving a horrifying path of destruction in its wake. By some estimates up to 10,000 may have died in the city of Tacloban alone.

An Iranian rock musician kills three in Brooklyn (some were his bandmates) and then himself. It's rumored he flew into a rage after being kicked out of the band.

Also in "Guns Keep Us Safer!": 16 are wounded and two are killed when a party-goer shoots up a Houston birthday celebration.

60 Minutes apologizes for lies told by their main source in a story about the attack on Benghazi—though some are saying that apology isn't enough. (Schools should teach courses in how to give proper public apologies... everyone has to give one sooner or later.)

FOR EXAMPLE! Lululemon founder apologizes for saying their yoga pants just don't work for all women's body shapes. His apology isn't all that great either.

NFL player Richie Incognito—who has been suspended for texting racial slurs to a teammate—says that his racism comes from a "place of love." WHAT.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY. Let's give a tip o' the hat to our nation's veterans for their great sacrifice to our country. In a related story, Tom Cruise says he did NOT say that acting is as hard as military combat.

Hillary Clinton may have another strong candidate nipping at her heels for the 2016 presidential nomination: Elizabeth Warren (who is pretty goddamned beloved).

Hillbilly idiots in Colorado say they want to create their own new state where they can discriminate against as many people as possible, and then shoot them.

Now here's what's going on in your neck of the woods: Nice day today, somewhat less nice tomorrow.

And finally, who DOESN'T want to watch a video compilation of puppies learning to walk? MONSTERS, that's who.
