• Colorado-based entrepreneur (founder of ProFlower and ecard company, BlueMountain] and and philanthropist Jared Polis has thrown his name into the running for the state's representative seat. Polis, whose eponymous foundation donates millions to educational purposes, released a statement:

Here in Colorado, I have been fortunate enough to be a part of a strong community that values diversity and respects our differences, but our health care and educational systems rarely match our American promise; I will provide leadership to change that. "We must end the war in Iraq so we can focus on combating poverty and discrimination and growing a more inclusive and sustainable economy here at home.

If elected, Polis will become Colorado's first openly gay representative. Quite a change for the state that once boasted the highest concentration of Evangelicals.

• Fourteen Canadian prison guards have asked to be transferred after Correctional officials refused to separate an . The girls give new meaning to "bad ass bitches from hell":

After a verbal spat shortly after their wedding, one of the women - and another inmate - smashed up a washer, dryer, microwave oven, fridge and stereo in her cell block… Shortly afterwards, the inmate screamed racial slurs at a guard and slammed a door shut in the face of another.

Pretty rude. Also, this news source: Canada's Canoe, listed this news story under "weird news".

• Scandal-ridden congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham denounced his anti-gay ways after buying a yacht from a bunch of butt pirates, according to Seth Hettena, author of Feasting on the Spoils. He told "Buoy Toys'" former owners,

I now vote pro-gay, and it's because of you [guys]… I'm sure I've met lots of gay people, but I've never met two guys that, you know, were outwardly gay and … that I would consider drinking buddies and friends and boating buddies and people I want to spend time with … that also said, 'Oh, by the way, I just happened to be gay.

The purchase even Cunningham to apologize to openly gay congressman Barney Frank for his homophobic potty mouth, according to Radar. The article also points out the yacht led to a bribery investigation that ended his career. We wonder if he's still keen on the queens.

As we continue to reel from Anna Nicole Smith's shocking death, we thought we'd head over to Rosie O'Donnell's blog to see what she has to say about the matter. Why Rosie? Because on yesterday's The View, she fumed, "If I have to see Anna Nicole on the television one more time," before trailing off, according to Page Six. So, we figured there'd be some sort of mention. And we were right:
