Every week in this space, we’ll take a look at the news and offer our own incisive blend of commentary, analysis, and poop jokes. The news you need, from a voice you can trust, in the 90 seconds you have to spare: that’s Woot Weads the Wire.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., June 10 (UPI) -- A line of 2,569 people danced the Hokey Pokey on a bridge spanning New York's Hudson River Saturday, setting a world record, Guinness World Records said.

A second world record was set a few minutes later: Most People Saying "Now THAT'S What It's All About!"

SEATTLE (UPI) -- A Seattle billionaire who purchased the world's most expensive car for $35 million is now attempting to sell his private Canadian island for $75 million.

Sources say it's the oldest story in the world: guy buys a new car, ends up losing his home.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (UPI) -- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is posting job openings for "crocodile response agents" in the Florida Keys.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. Library of Congress said Thursday Natasha Trethewey has been appointed poet laureate for 2012-13.

She will be called on for government events, official readings, state dinners, and when the White House needs to say "Sorry we bypassed your civil liberties" in rhyme.

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Actress Danica McKellar has filed for divorce from her husband, composer Mike Verta, documents filed in in Los Angeles County Superior Court indicated.

Legal experts say you still don't have a chance.

Yay, I can finally respond without an error!
I liked the jokes, especially the last one when I figured out that she is Winnie Cooper.
I also like the alligator picture. He looks like a total dork. Dorkigator.

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Actress Danica McKellar has filed for divorce from her husband, composer Mike Verta, documents filed in in Los Angeles County Superior Court indicated.

When asked about the breakup, Verta responded that during one of his compositions "I sang out of tune and she stood up and walked out on me."

McKellar, when asked to comment about Verta's statement, dodged the question and simply stated "Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends."

Wow! I live in Poughkeepsie, and close to the bridge they did the Hokey Pokey on. I refused to take part it in...because...well...What if the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about?!! Then what would happen?

The crocodile response bit is brilliant as is the White House policy jab. WWTW is probably my favorite blog post on woot, which is saying something.

Thank you, Joshaw! I know that there isn't a lot to talk about here, but I still sometimes worry no one is reading. The occasional positive comment really makes me happy.

I rarely comment, but I agree, this is my favorite Woot blog.

Well, another day has passed and I didn't use algebra once.

I find this hard to believe, you must mean you rarely comment on this blog. ;-)
