"Modern day ninjas" stopped before they make mistake of confronting drug dealers
Jesse Trojaniak, 19, and Tadieusz Tertkiewicz, 20, put on black clothing, armed themselves with throwing stars, swords, and nunchucks, and went out in search of drug dealers to intimidate. Calling themselves "Shinobi Warriors," they planned on visiting the homes of drug dealers and delivering threatening notes that said, "Shinobi will stop your cruel and sadistic intentions with justified, yet merciful force."
But first, they stopped by Tertkiewicz’ 16-year-old ex-girlfriend's house and delivered one of the letters. The girl and her mom called the Clifton, New Jersey police, who promptly arrested the well-armed men. You can read more here and here.

Bill Clinton as a champion for monogamy?
Just this week, he gave a speech emphasizing the importance of monogamy as a key element in the battle against AIDS. Hard to believe he can say such things with a straight face (but he's certainly demonstrated that he has no shame).
Jim Taranto had a great line about this. Al Gore speaks about the need to save the planet, but consumes far more resources than the typical person. Gore tries to justify his behavior by buying carbon credits - - he pays someone else to conserve. In the same way, Clinton could buy monogamy credits - - pay someone else to be faithful.
