In an interview with ABC News to promote his new game-filled library, George W. Bush spoke about the most important moment of his presidency: the decision to go to war with Iraq.

But don't worry, Bush is still “very comfortable” with his decision to invade.

The Federal Reserve has at last released the first images of the redesigned $100 bill, to go into circulation in October. Along with a tacky golden "100" in the bottom right corner, the new bills will also feature raised printing and security ribbons that change depending on from what angle you look at them. Throw in the silly drawing of the quill pen and this may be the worst $100 bill ever. Annotate it and tell us what you think.

Naturally, Curtis was ecstatic, and this afternoon he took to CNN to express his excitement and relief. After giving a standard interview in which he basically said he's hoping to parlay his poisoning charges into a life of celebrity, Curtis then broke into the Randy Travis song "On the Other Hand" at the CNN reporter's request. If you've not been paying attention, it has not been a banner week for CNN.

Crashing Through Manhattan In The Fake Google Driverless Car

Adrian Chen · 04/24/13 02:43PM

Google's driverless car is still in the early stages of development, but the unit spotted tooling around Manhattan this month was in rough shape even for a beta test. One particularly noticeable bug was the passenger hanging out the window in an Osama bin Laden mask. In another glitch, the car hit a cyclist in Soho, where the aftermath was caught by an Instagram user. Others might have spotted the Google car proudly cruising by, oblivious to the traffic cone wedged firmly under the bumper. And all this was before the power-slides, rubber-scorching donuts and fender-benders…

"New Yorkers know the story," mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner says of his decision to send out some cute pics to a couple of friends in a new sit down interview with NBC News. That we do, but how much don't we know? According to Weiner himself that could be a whole lot or a whole little. The details don't really matter. What matters is that there are still some unseen or unread Weiner sexts out there. But please God let's hope they stay that way.
