The Running of the (Inaugural) Balls — Monica Hesse and Dan Zak, The Washington PostWe could each only moveon to the next ball if: 1. We consumed a food item or beverage with a political name (a “Yes We Canape,” for example). 2. We found any elected official, a person wearing a tiara or a celebrity of passable renown. 3.

Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, the Most Heartbreaking and Inspirational Story of the College Football Season, is a Hoax — Timothy Burke and Jack Dickey, DeadspinThe photographs identified as Kekua—in online tributes and on TV news reports—are pictures from the social-media accounts of a 22-year-old California woman who is not named Lennay Kekua.
