One prominent tea party group says, well, I suppose we can live with @placeholder if that's what we have to do. | (CNN) -- So we're at a point in the campaign where health care reform is about to go on trial at the Supreme Court, unemployment remains high and gas prices are skyrocketing. As for the GOP presidential wannabes, they're arguing over, um, an Etch A Sketch metaphor bungled by a Mitt Romney staffer. ("You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again," Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom told CNN this week.) Sure, the metaphor has a perfection all its own, given Romney's penchant for redrawing policy lines. It's just low-hanging fruit, hard to pass up. But the picture of two "serious" presidential candidates wandering the trail with an old-school toy as a prop can lead to only one conclusion: This is getting silly.

@placeholder invoked his Constitutional right to not testify before the state legislators on the matter earlier this month. | A former top appointee of Chris Christie says there is evidence contradicting what the New Jersey governor has said publicly about the notorious George Washington Bridge traffic lane closures that have roiled the Republican's administration, according to the man's lawyer. David Wildstein resigned his position at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in December amid allegations that Christie appointees had ordered access lanes to the nation's biggest river crossing in Fort Lee closed last year to punish that town's mayor politically for not endorsing Christie for reelection. Wildstein's attorney, Alan Zegas, wrote on Friday that "evidence exists" contradicting Christie's recollection about the lane closures at a news conference earlier this month.

@placeholder wanted the game to have no physical contact between players and to encourage sportsmanship. | New York (CNN) -- The first 13 rules of basketball sold Friday for more than $4 million, setting a record for the highest sales price for sports memorabilia, according to Sotheby's, which conducted the auction. The auction house had estimated that Dr. James Naismith's two-page "Founding Rules of Basketball" would bring less than half the $4,338,500 that David and Suzanne Booth bid for the 119-year-old document. "This is the birth certificate. It started here," said Selby Kiffer, Sotheby's vice president for manuscripts and books department.

Obama has made clear his desire to draw down troops from the war-torn nation by year's end, but Tuesday marked the first time a scenario has been discussed publicly that would completely void Afghanistan of U.S. personnel who have been vital in fighting Taliban militias.

Despite rain over the weekend, the Las Conchas fire continues to burn around Los Alamos. Nearly 1,900 personnel have worked to contain 45 percent of a blaze that's scorched more than 146,000 acres and more than 100 buildings, according to the website of the federal Interagency Management Team that is overseeing the firefight. With monsoon season having just kicked off, more precipitation could help firefighters contain the wildfire, one of several still burning in the Southwest. Yet it is not all good news, as torrential downpours -- which will likely occur into September -- may also cause further ruin in already hard-hit areas.

Again, the @placeholder and the White House had little to say. | The reputations of one of the Army's finest generals and of a once-admired institution may get tarnished, but nothing should now get in the way of urgent investigations, firings and immediate fixes in health care for veterans. And for good measure, maybe heads should roll at the White House, too, because what we have been told so far about a burgeoning scandal over veterans' care doesn't add up. The story line out of the administration is that the head of Veterans Affairs, retired Gen. Eric Shinseki, and President Obama are both "mad as hell" about alleged misdeeds and have sprung into action to put things aright. We are led to believe that alarm bells went off in both organizations as soon as allegations surfaced.

purchase was 'flawed' and said evidence suggested the @placeholder | By Steve Robson PUBLISHED: 11:30 EST, 4 June 2013 | UPDATED: 12:01 EST, 4 June 2013 A plan to open a Kung Fu centre in a derelict hotel using £1.6million of public funds has been scrapped. The proposed martial arts retreat in Llangollen, North Wales, was today described in a report into the failed project as a waste of money. The Welsh Government bought the River Lodge Hotel in 2007 with the intention of leasing it back to community group Powys Fadog. But delays led the building to become an unusable ruin, forcing the decision to abandon the centre.

@placeholder claims that a video it posted online Thursday shows Syrian soldiers being paraded through the desert in their underwear. | It's too soon to say what steps the United States will take against ISIS in Syria, President Barack Obama said Thursday. "I don't want to put the cart before the horse," Obama told reporters during a White House news briefing. "We don't have a strategy yet." Obama said he's asked America's top defense officials to prepare "a range of options" about what the United States could do to go after ISIS in Syria, which he described as "a safe haven" for the Sunni extremist group that calls itself the Islamic State. The President's remarks follow days of speculation about whether the United States had a plan to go after ISIS in Syria.

The coordinated attacks by the navy and ground troops were the latest wave of a brutal offensive against anti-government protests launched at the beginning of the month and came as thousands marched on the city over the weekend to demand the president's ousting. The assault showed Assad has no intention of scaling back the campaign even though it has brought international outrage and new U.S. and European sanctions.

If the rebels took them, it would enable their forces to cut off the single route in Idlib that the government uses to supply troops operating in @placeholder. | (CNN) -- Syria's air force has repeatedly carried out "indiscriminate, and in some cases deliberate" airstrikes against civilians, Human Rights Watch said in a new report. The attacks are serious violations of international humanitarian law, and those who commit such violations with criminal intent are responsible for war crimes, the rights group said. The claims are laid out in an 80-page report titled "Death from the Skies," based on visits to 50 sites of government airstrikes in opposition-controlled areas in Aleppo, Idlib and Latakia provinces. The group's researchers carried out more than 140 interviews with witnesses and victims. "In village after village, we found a civilian population terrified by their country's own air force," said Ole Solvang, a researcher for the rights group, who visited the sites and conducted many of the interviews.
