On tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert discussed two interesting stories related to the election: whether marijuana initiatives on ballots in swing states will drive Democrats to the polls and the possibility of networks running out of air time to run all the political ads bought with Super PAC money. It's gonna be interesting, that's for sure.

Recently, J.P Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon traveled to Washington DC to explain his company's massive losses to the Senate banking committee. Problem is a lot of those guys are getting campaign donations from J.P. Morgan. On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart broke it all down.

Iggy Azalea almost wasn't Internet-famous. Last summer, the native Australian was living in Los Angeles, and after what was supposed to be two weeks in Miami at age 16 had turned into five years spent in four cities throughout the states, she was down to the last of her savings.

It's news that should be refreshingly optimistic: a study has found that the life expectancy gap between races has finally been whittled down to its lowest point in history. While the chasm has slowly been decreasing over the last two decades, the years between 2003 - 2008 proved especially fruitful in leveling the gap. Incidentally, as the study points out, that's right around the time everyone started giving up on life.

With the return of Dallas and tomorrow's release of Rock of Ages, it's a so-bad-it's-at-least-worth-enduring kinda week. So apropos only of that, here's a hilariously awful song from I-can't-believe-it-is-Fabio's 1993 album After Dark. Over an 808-based Skinemaximal sound that makes Paula Abdul's "Rush Rush" sound like real hood shit, Fabio mumbles, "It's strange how I feel! Everything seems so unreal." I empathize. The hook goes, "When somebody loves somebody desperately, everything comes out so natural." Affection: the greatest laxative of all.

And now, one labor group says that an employee of a PR firm working for Wal-Mart actually posed as a reporter in order to infiltrate one of their meetings.

TNT's Dallas revival is the kind of show in which actors speak in stage whispers. It is the kind of show where people hiss things like, "Don't you ever speak my mama's name in my presence again. You dishonor her." And also: "All those fights, JR. Over you and oil and South Fork. Those fights changed me. Changed me in a way I don't like." And: "Bobby won't hear of drillin'!" And let's not neglect: "Blood may be thicker than water, but oil is thicker than both!"

Wildlife photographer Phil Lanoue was snapping photos in the salt marshes of Murrells Inlet — South Carolina's Seafood Capital — when he came across a scene resembling something out of a photoshop: An alligator chewing on a Croc.
