MeeVee has an interesting breakdown of some of the celebrities that are endorsing various U.S. presidential candidates in both parties. Hulk Hogan is endorsing Barack Obama, but Nature Boy Rick Flair is endorsing Mike Huckabee.

A group of anonymous hackers, collectively calling themselves Anonymous, has delivered a message on the Internet that they’ve declared war on the Church of Scientology (CoS), and that they won’t stop until they succeed.
Anonymous have already brought down several CoS websites with DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. Their motivation apparently has to do with CoS trying to “misuse” DMCA/copyright rules to force websites to remove a Scientology video that shows Tom Cruise in a hyperactive state of mind.
