| Awards Show Monologue of the Day Posted: 27 Feb 2012 12:54 PM PST Awards Show Monologue of the Day: 2012 Independent Spirit Awards host Seth Rogen shows other awards show hosts (you know who you are) how it’s done, with a killer 15 minute monologue that takes down movies, movie stars, movie awards, and even saves room for a Chris Brown jab (skip to 5:23) — all with the curse words left refreshingly unbleeped.

| Posted: 27 Feb 2012 12:10 PM PST Buzzer Beater of the Day: With less than 10 seconds on the clock in double overtime, Cal Poly Pomona saw the last game of its regular season slipping away when Cal State Dominguez Hills guard Robert Willhite answered DeRonn Scott’s three-pointer with a three-pointer of his own. Yet stunningly, with 0.6 to go, Pomona’s “Miracle” Mitchel Anderson took a last-ditch shot from three-quarters of the court away and cemented his spot in Broncos history.

President of the Day: A brand new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll released today predicts that if the elections were held today, Rick Santorum — the presidential candidate who believes that pregnant rape victims should make the best of it, that free prenatal testing leads to more abortions, and that, contrary to the Constitution, the separation of church and state should not be absolute — would defeat President Obama by three percentage points. Against Mitt Romney, Obama comes out even at 47% all. Interestingly, both Obama and Romney are apparently being dragged down by the same thing: Universal health care. “If they used Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts health care program as a guideline for the Obamacare thing, what’s the difference?” asks 37-year-old Sanford, NC resident Robert Hargrove. Lynn West, a retired New Hampshire state education official who says the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has been “fabulous” for her family, has a suggestion for Obama’s campaign on how to strengthen the president’s flagging numbers. “If I had to fault President Obama or the people that help him put out his message, I think they need to be simpler,” says West. “A lot of times it’s the catch phrases that catch fire, like when he said, ‘Yes we can’ in the 2008 campaign. That’s why the term ‘Obamacare’ has worked — a simple phrase, and they’ve been able to put a negative connotation to it. In fact, they ought to be saying, ‘Obamacare! Let’s rejoice!’” A silver lining, perhaps: According to the latest poll of battleground states conducted by Politico and George Washington University, Obama’s approval rating has increased by 5 percentage points to 53. Mitt Romney’s approval rating stands at 43, while Rick Santorum is in third place with 42.

School Shooting News of the Day: A gunman who fired at students inside the cafeteria of Chardon High School in Ohio has claimed the life of at least one student, and injured four others. The assailant, caught near his car a half-mile from the school, was identified by an injured student as fellow classmate T.J. Lane. “My friends were crawling on the floor, and one of my friends was bent over the table, and he was shot,” said junior Nate Mueller. “It was almost like a firecracker went off. I turned around and saw [T.J.] standing with a gun and I saw him take a shot.” Mueller said he and Lane were friends throughout middle school, but Lane “went a separate way” in high school. The suspect is currently being held at a juvenile detention facility. According to eyewitnesses, the shooter entered the school early this morning, and began firing a handgun inside the cafeteria around 7:30 AM. One of the students who managed to escape reported some 100 individuals were present inside the cafeteria at the time. “Everybody just started running,” said student Megan Hennessy, who was in class at the time of the shooting. “Everyone was running and screaming down the hallway.” There are 1,100 students in all at Chardon.
