That Britney Spears Sculpture

News of the Weird:

Sculptor Daniel Edwards will showcase his newest work, "Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston," next to a display case filled with pro-life materials at a Brooklyn gallery.

Yep, it's a sculpture of Britney Spears giving birth to her son. Britney is in no way involved with the project.

According to the AP story, "The life-size pop princess is naked and pregnant, crouching face-down on a bare-toothed bear rug as the baby's head appears on the opposite end."

Wow. That is bizarre.

Bush Declares 'Mission Accomplished'

W. delivered a speech yesterday reassuring Americans that we will be victorious in Iraq, as we embark into the fourth year of the war.

This statement comes 1,054 days since W's May 1, 2003, "Mission Accomplished" speech/photo-op aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Yikes.
