TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
When Tom Brokaw asked at last night's debate whether Russia was "evil," it's unclear if the candidates yet knew of Vladimir Putin's plans to bolster his nuclear arsenal with … ninjas. The Independent reports that the 56-year-old Putin celebrated his birthday yesterday by releasing "Let's Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin," a 90-minute instructional video. "In a judo bout," Putin intones, "compromises and concessions are permissible but only in one case: if it is for victory." Does this news make the GOP regret its presidential pick? With Chuck Norris on the ticket, Mike Huckabee could have matched Russia chop for chop.
