4. PWND = "OWNED" I Think

As is 'Durbin just beat up on the head of the CPB'.

Appreantly, from what I can make out, Sen Durbin gave a little of the what's-all-this-then to the head of the Corp for Public Broadcasting.

7. Okay,

CPB apparently means Corporation for Public Broadcasting, I should have figured that out. PWND, according to others here, may mean "owned". If so then why not say "owned" instead of speaking in some weird secret code? PWND = "OWNED" ???

8. It's a gamer thing

Look at where on the keyboard the letters are. Gamers often have sloppy typing skills in-game, and 'PWN3D' is the end result.

For some strange reason, it took off...

9. "Power owned" in other words, kicked his ass

The word pwn, (past tense: "pwned" or "pwnt") as used by the Internet gaming subculture, means to beat or dominate an opponent. While it probably originated as a typing error of the word "own", it is now used intentionally by many members of the subculture. The term has become so ubiquitous in Internet circles that it is often used outside of gaming contexts; for example, "he just got pwned in that debate" or "the hunters pwned that bear."
