BY ALLIE SPILLYARDS Remember the Jetsons? Well according to GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich -- life in space may not be as far off and futuristic as TV once made it seem. "The program I envision would probably end up being 90 percent private sector. ((FLASH)) But I'll tell you. I don't want to be the country that having gotten to the moon first, turned around and said, 'it doesn't really matter. Let the Chinese dominate space. What do we care?'" (VIDEO SOURCE: CNN) Now just a day after the last Florida GOP debate where he made those statements, news headlines ranging from "Space Cadet Gingrich" to "Fly Me to the Moon" show most in the media are writing off Gingrich's idea as little more than ridiculous. CNN's David Frum takes a look. (SOURCE: WASHINGTON POST AND LA TIMES) "Then he should've dismissed the moon colony question with a joke and moved on. Instead, he allowed that conversation to take over. He could not control himself in the face of something he should've controlled himself in." TIME's Jeffrey Kluger suggests -- this is just one in a series of over-the-top statements from the former Speaker of the House. "...Gingrich often doesn't seem to get that merely being willing to say any damn thing is not the same as being able to do any damn thing, especially when the challenges you're taking on don't involve just political rivals and government policy, but the hard laws of engineering and physics..." Although plenty of snark and mockery is floating through ...

Transcript by www.newsy.com BY CHRISTINA HARTMAN A show of good will after a whole lot of bad blood. KABC reports, lawmakers are gonna mix it up at Tuesday night's State of the Union address. "Bipartisan seating. More than 120 members of Congress have agreed to sit side-by-side regardless of their political affiliation." But until then -- it seems the seating chart is the only thing bipartisan on Capitol Hill. "...expected to be a politically charged State of the Union address." NY1 "Speaker John Boehner already said, quote, 'I think it's pathetic.'" MSNBC "One Colorado congressman will not attend the State of the Union address tomorrow. Fifth District Republican Doug Lamborn says he doesn't support the policies of President Obama." KCNC But plenty of others will probably be watching on TV. 43 million people watched last year in what many consider to be the most important speech the president gives every year. Over the weekend, President Obama gave a preview of what he's planning to say Tuesday night. "I'll lay out my blueprint for actions we need to take together -- not just me, or Congress, but every American -- to rebuild an economy where hard work and responsibility are rewarded. An economy that's built to last." The speech will be sandwiched between two GOP presidential debates -- and amid a fiery campaign for the Republican nomination. Fox Business points out -- it could be President Obama's last State of the Union speech, and he's expected to draw a distinction ...

Transcript by www.newsy.com BY GINA COOK ANCHOR ZACH TOOMBS Watching the Superbowl this year? Some cities should get ready to see a graphic anti-abortion ad from Randall Terry -- who is challenging President Obama's Democratic nomination. Here's a clip from Terry's Iowa campaign ad to serve as an introduction. "The slaughter of unborn babies, defying the commandments of God, who will stop this mad man? ... I'm asking your vote in the Iowa caucus against Obama. I can defeat him here if you put principle ahead of party." But the ad Terry is paying to have air in dozens of cities around the country is far more graphic than that one. We've chosen not to show it to you because of its content -- the ad shows several dead fetuses and body parts. Anti-abortion ads have been turned down in the past, but the reason Terry's will pass is a loophole in the FCC's rules that allows such ads to air if they are endorsed by a candidate for federal office. And The Washington Post speculates Terry is making the most of that loophole -- meaning he doesn't seem to be seriously considering a presidential run. "Terry launched a non-serious campaign for president late last year so that he would be able to run gruesome ads of dead fetuses in key primary states." The ad is sparking intense debate. The Guardian says "Terry is a remarkable man, in that he is so unpleasant, so mean-spirited and so fanatical in his egotistical anti-choice activism ..." And some TV stations are even speaking out.

Transcript by www.newsy.com BY BLAKE HANSON Iran has sentenced an Iranian-American man to death. Iran's government says the man was working for the CIA -- but the man's family says he was just visiting his grandmother. NBC's Today Show has the details... "Amir Mirzaei Hekmati an Iranian-American citizen and a former US Marine has been sentenced by the very powerful revolutionary court here to death. The charges against him are spying for the CIA, working with a hostile company, waging a war against God and finally trying to implicate Iran in terrorist activities." Iranian State Television has video of Hekmati appearing to confess to his involvement with the CIA But a reporter for CNN says don't be fooled. "Iran is saying that he confessed, he confessed to his crimes on TV, they taped it. But, a lot of human rights organizations around the world say that that's just a joke, they're forced into those kinds of situations and they have no credibility." But will Iran actually execute Hekmati? A pair of bloggers for Foreign Policy make a prediction: "Although Iran often imposes the death penalty it is not known to have actually executed any US citizens for spying, and so it is likely Hekmati will be kept alive and used as leverage as tensions between the United States and Iran escalate over its nuclear development program." The Washington Post says it all ties back to Iran's nuclear program, writing... "The US is pursuing tough sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program ...
