Obama is slowing his roll towards a "limited narrow act in Syria" by publicly requesting authorization from Congress for a military action.

Supreme Court Justice and all-around dope person Ruth Bader Ginsburg will become the first SCOTUS justice to officiate a same-sex wedding tonight when she marries Kennedy Center President Michael M. Kaiser and economist John Roberts (not Ginsburg's colleague).

Good news if you're George Zimmerman or even if you're just generally looking for guns and unfavorable press coverage — rifles that belonged to Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hilter are available online for purchase, right now.

Dino Bouterse — the son of Suriname President Desi Bouterse — was charged Friday with running a cocaine-smuggling operation into the US and openly brandishing a rocket launcher.

Last I saw you, you were stamping a kiss onto my forehead. I don't remember what you were wearing, or your smell. Only that you gave me a kiss the night before you left. That was twenty-three years ago. I was five.

In a shocking display of premeditated aggression, a U.S. Navy report (manifesto?) reveals that over the next five years, training exercises will likely kill hundreds of marine animals and seriously injure thousands more.

President Obama says he hasn't yet made a decision about intervening in the Syrian civil war as a response to last week's devastating chemical-weapons attack. And if he hasn't, why would you have, especially since it's Labor Day weekend and you're trying to figure out how to grill scallops, exactly, like, just throw them on there, or what? Well: We're here to help. Here are four opinions you can have about the U.S. options:

The Global Post asks some Syrians their thoughts on the U.S. possibly intervening in the nation's ongoing conflict: "I don’t have a lot of hope about this strike. It will not do anything—nothing will change."

All the good superheroes are used up, so the next fun entertainment for Americans will be various sequels and spinoffs from the Holy Bible. A lot of Americans still claim to believe in the Christian religion: 77 percent say they still follow the breakaway Jewish sect, which remains a huge demographic even if it's down considerably from its 90 percent market penetration a half century ago.

Fashion people suck, Fiona Apple rules, and the sky is blue.

Here's some mesmerizing and creepy time-lapse footage of the World Trade Center complex being rebuilt.

Yesterday, a very important NYC thing happened: Two kittens halted the subway's B and Q lines for an hour. How could two feline urchins so rudely interrupt the necessary flow of human transport? the bad people wondered. Ooooh, kitties! the good people cooed.

The young men of the boy band One Direction like playing with their fame. Throughout their Morgan Spurlock-directed 3D concert movie/behind-the-scenes doc, One Direction: This Is Us, we see them conducting the applause they receive as though the crowds of adoring fans are instruments. They run to and from ledges of buildings their admirers have gathered around, manipulating the roar of adulation. They use hand signals to amplify and decrease the screams and squeals. At one point, one member is being interviewed alone about how great his fans are. As evidence, he gets up from his chair and walks a few yards to the window behind him that he stands in front of and throws open, unleashing an appreciative sonic boom.

This is how it starts. In a brief follow-up to Secretary of State John Kerry's statements today, President Obama this afternoon slammed the U.N. Security Council's "incapacity" to act in Syria and said that he is considering an American intervention to try and mitigate that nation's attacks on its civilians. Don't call it a "war," though; President Obama prefers a "limited, narrow act."

Labor Day is a complete rip-off. Labor isn't celebrated at all—instead, a single day's break from labor is celebrated. You might think this is a stupid thing to care about, because Labor Day is really just about getting drunk in your yard, again. But that's actually evidence of this very successful con job pulled on you, the American worker (or unemployed person, or discouraged worker, or "grad student"). You probably don't even believe in Labor Day.

Liz Cheney doesn't think her sister should have been permitted to get married.

Los Angeles police arrested about three dozen alleged members of the Rollin' 30s Harlem Crips (a.k.a. Ice-T's former gang) yesterday on federal and state charges related to gang operations and drug dealing. It was the culmination of an investigation called "Operation Thumbs Down," a reference to a popular Rollin' 30s hand sign: two thumbs up.

Subway kittens! The subway shark! All truly important news items come in threes, so we're due for one more animal to make headlines on New York mass transit. What's it going to be? Llama? Tiger (yes, please)? Peacock? Red-tailed hawk? Platypus? (Rats don't count; rats are part of the normal subway ecosystem.) Share your picks, hopes, and personal nature tales in the discussion below.
