Hillary Clinton Disappears, Arizona’s Online Fundraising, and Samoan Time Travel

Now you see her, now you don't! An Orthodox Hasidic newspaper called Der Tzitung photoshopped Secretary of State Hillary Clinton out of the famous situation room photo snapped during the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound. Clinton appears in the real photo with her hand covering her mouth, but is completely edited out in the newspaper's version of the image. While the paper has no official comment, it is believed that the publication does not print images of women as they could be considered sexually suggestive.

Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi says the time travel aims to boost trade with Australia and New Zealand.
