At the risk of being thrown in the Tower of London, British tabloid The Sun will publish the nude photos of Prince Harry that TMZ obtained earlier this week.

Conservative columnist Mona Charen would like to offer a "mild dissent" about Todd Akin, the Missouri senate candidate who claimed that in cases of "legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." Sure, she acknowledges, there isn't any scientific evidence, at all, to bolster that claim. But doesn't it just feel right?

Dee Snider of legendary heavy metal outfit Twisted Sister released a statement yesterday telling Paul Ryan's campaign to cease their use of his band's hit single "We're Not Gonna Take It."

In a story that lacks an easy song-based joke, "Doin It" rapper and professional hat wearer LL Cool J thwarted a home robbery this morning by detaining the potential burglar after a physical confrontation. According to the Los Angeles Times, the hip-hop legend was upstairs in his Studio City home when he heard a noise from his kitchen. Because he's clearly one of the strongest people in the world, J went down to investigate.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus announced today that theme of the Republican National Convention's second night will be "We Built It" — a theme aimed at "highlight[ing] America's entrepreneurial strength and our people's incomparable work ethic," as well as extending the purposeful distortion of President Obama's "you didn't build that" line.

Karen Klein, the upstate New York bus monitor who became the face of America's bullying problem when a video of schoolchildren taunting her went viral earlier this year, has launched an anti-bullying foundation she hopes will put an end to it once and for all.

Taxes. Deficits. Unemployment. Wall Street. Abortion. Gaffes. Jokes. Fashion. Sports. All of these things are being given more attention in America right now, by our presidential candidates and our media and ourselves, than a place called Afghanistan. Remember that place?

A Tennessee man who lost his cool after a McDonald's employee handed him a sundae with the hot fudge on the bottom was convicted of assault and could spend up to a year behind bars.

All right, turns out we were all angry over nothing. When Todd Akin used the questionable phrase "legitimate rape," he was just trying to distinguish those rapes from the ones women lie about — you know, the false rapes.

Prince Harry got drunk in Las Vegas and decided to play strip billiards, which is like strip poker for really rich people. That's all well and good, except for the fact that he let himself be photographed.

A Florida robbery may have been prevented if the employee of the targeted store had not been kind enough to lend the robber a pen.

Well, here's something that is not a cause for concern, whatsoever, I want to emphasize right up front, and certainly not anything that might be an early indicator that you could consider "taking to the land" and hunkering down in your survivalist bunker with a cache of canned food and weapons until the "trouble" passes: the world's savviest investor is pretty sure that your state and/ or local government is a ticking time bomb that will collapse in a pile of valueless rubble.

Yesterday, Michael Wayne Hash, who spent 12 years in a Virginia prison for murder, had all of the charges against him dismissed. A judge found him to be innocent. He's a free man. Not every innocent prisoner is so lucky.

Is conservative web-linker and race hustler Matt Drudge stalking an Israeli house DJ on Twitter? This is probably not a question you thought you would be asking yourself on a Tuesday morning. And yet: the internet has a funny way of asking questions for you.

We now take such things for granted, but it's important to remember that for hundreds of years after the fall of Rome, Europe underwent a long age of violence and terror, bereft of the wisdom and knowledge of the ancients, completely ignorant of which colleges were among the 20 Party Schools. We must consider ourselves lucky, then, that we live in an age where every year Princeton Review blesses us with a list of not just the Top 20 Party Schools but also a list of the Top 20 Stone-Cold Sober Campuses — a cornucopia of Schools We Would Never Want to Go To.

Why is everybody so down on rape? This is what Mike Huckabee wanted to know today, on his radio program, which also featured Rep. Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin as a guest. For instance, did you know that Ethel Waters was conceived when her mother got raped? Do you know what a world without rape would look like? A world without Ethel Waters, that's what.

Taylor Swift, the girl in your AP U.S. History class who always turns around and asks you what grade you got, was totally spotted kissing Alexis' ex-boyfriend Conor Kennedy last weekend, and Alexis said she didn't care because she was with Logan now but then Amanda saw Alexis walk out of the bathroom with her eyes all red like she had been crying and it was so sad and everyone knows that Taylor gives boys BJs in the boiler room anyway so what does Conor even see in her?

Last August, while on a "fact-finding congressional trip" to Israel, several GOP lawmakers took part in a late-night swim in the Sea of Galilee that involved at least one instance of skinny dipping.

Remember when Paul Ryan said he'd never asked for stimulus money even though he had? The Republican vice presidential candidate is now facing more claims of stimulus-related hypocrisy, with newly released footage showing he advocated a stimulus when George W. Bush proposed it in the early 2000s.
