[h=2]It's game on in New Hampshire[/h]ELECTION DAY IS HERE! Well, primary voting day is here ... and by here, we mean first-in-the-nation<span style="color: Red;">*</span>New Hampshire.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>What we know:<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Brace for a long campaign.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>What we expect: If the polls<span style="color: Red;">*</span>hold true, we'll see a victorious Bernie Sanders and a winning Donald Trump — and talk<span style="color: Red;">*</span>about a notion fueling this presidential election: Voters unhappy with the status quo have upended the establishment<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and bolstered<span style="color: Red;">*</span>outsider candidates. Follow tonight's action on @usatoday2016<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and check out the results for both the Democrats and the Republicans.
[h=2]Weathermen aren't totally sure why a cruise ship decided to sail into a huge storm[/h]The storm was forecast for days. So why in the world would a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Royal Caribbean cruise ship sail right into it? We don't know. Neither does your weatherman. Hurricane-force winds and giant waves lashed the ship<span style="color: Red;">*</span>—<span style="color: Red;">*</span>en route from New York to Florida —<span style="color: Red;">*</span>sending furniture tumbling, smashing glass and collapsing part of a ceiling in a public corridor. Four passengers were injured. Royal Caribbean said the storm was unexpectedly strong, but meteorologists are calling that garbage.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Federal authorities soon could be looking into the incident.

[h=2]Cam Newton: #SorryNotSorry[/h]Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had<span style="color: Red;">*</span>some stuff to say Tuesday about all that smack said about him after his post-Super Bowl news<span style="color: Red;">*</span>conference: "I’ve been on the record saying that I’m a sore loser. Who likes to lose? You show me a good loser and I’m going to show you a loser." During the Sunday news conference, after the loss to the Denver Broncos, Newton gave monosyllabic answers. He mumbled quietly. And then he walked out after only two minutes. He took a lot of heat for that. What do you think? Is Newton unprofessional? Or simply human? Tweet us using #TheShortList.

[h=2]Sears is still dying[/h]Name one person you know who shops at Sears.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>We didn't think so.?<span style="color: Red;">*</span>It used to be one of the best-known retailers in America, but things are looking bleak for the struggling chain.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Sears had a bad holiday season, so it's speeding up 50 planned store<span style="color: Red;">*</span>closures and looking for other ways to cut costs (think, cutting staff). Sears has had a tough few<span style="color: Red;">*</span>years. More people are shopping for clothes at Target, and they're headed to Home Depot for appliances. Sears shares have lost roughly half their value in the past year, and the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>implosion is costing its hotshot CEO, who was supposed to be the next Warren Buffett,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>a fortune.

[h=2]Let's discuss the guy who threw an alligator through a drive-thru window in Florida[/h]This was<span style="color: Red;">*</span>no small alligator. This was a 3½-foot-long alligator that Joshua James picked up and launched out of his vehicle window and through the drive-thru at a Wendy's. 1.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>He rode in the car with this animal presumably for some stretch of time. 2.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>He had to pick it up and get it into position. 3.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The physics of the throw are<span style="color: Red;">*</span>mindblowing.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>But seriously, he faces a ton of charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We suspect we'll hear more about this.
