We Like Craig
As robot skeletons, hobos, residents of the hollowed-out volcano… no matter what you call us, we are fans of Craig Ferguson and there are as many reasons as there are fans.  But the folks over at GeekSugar.com have come up with seven more, just in case you needed to add some to your list.  Thanks to the RSA’s @MissGraoully, @pinkbirdie48840 and others for the heads up.





Griffin on Bachmann
The mainstream and alternative media are swirling with stories about Kathy Griffin‘s appearance on the Late Late Show Thursday, in which she questioned the sexuality of Republican/Tea Party presidential candidate Michelle Bachman‘s husband Marcus.  Griffin is known as a gay rights supporter, was a vocal critic of Sarah Palin in the 2008 election and has been focusing on Bachman in the current race.  Coverage appeared in The Hollywood Reporter, The Huffington Post, PerezHilton.com, Advocate.com and several other publications Friday.

Lollipop Theater Network
Among the many charities Craig supports, he is fond enough of the Lollipop Theater Network to serve on their board.  The LTN provides first-run movies for hospitalized children and even visits from cast members when feasible.  Meanwhile, Pepsi is sponsoring a nationwide contest called the Refresh Project, which provides grants to worthy projects across the country.  If you vote for the Lollipop Theater Network during the month of September and enough votes are collected, you could help them win a $25,000 grant to continue their work.  To vote, visit the LTN page on Pepsi’s site.

Fergybot4000
We knew that @Fergybot4000 (an affectionate homage created by the RSA’s @tzankoff)  must have been up to something lately.  Now we know.  (It takes a while to load the video but it’s worth the wait).  We’ve also heard that @tzankoff is continuing to add enhancements and improvements to the Fergybot, so be sure to say hello.

Tonight’s Guests
Friday on the Late Late Show, Craig chats with actress Lindsay Sloane and actor Peter Krause.

The Labor Day holiday weekend in the US promises to be a slow few days for news stories.  If you have a story idea you’d like us to post, please let us know on our Contact page or tweet us @RSA_News.  Thanks and have a great weekend!
