Today we railed against a schools policy that fires young, idealistic teachers instead of old, bitter teachers. This is a bad policy! Well, sort of a bad policy. It's complicated. Sometimes young idealists aren't the best teachers, explained a former young idealist.

Today we heard the terrific news that it will soon be legal to bring all your guns to college for fun gun parties and stuff. Uh oh, many people said. There will be drunk dudes shooting their pistols off (ew) every chance they get! But, one commenter warned, there's something else we're not thinking about.

Today we heard the story of a Pennsylvania pastor who totally lied about being a Navy SEAL. Uh oh! What a dumb thing to do, end of story. Though at least one good thing came out of this: an opportunity for a good seal joke.

Today we learned that the vast majority of old people in a room somewhere think Barack Obama is a socialist. Socialism, the great light-red menace! How can we ensure that no one is ever subjected to living in a socialist America? One commenter knows how.

Today we heard the troubling news that, like so many other American cities, Washington D.C. has been invaded by a "young, hip vibe." Oh no! Can this be true? Yes, says one commenter.

Today we heard the frustrating story of a Texas public high school teacher who mocked a Muslim student in the wake of the bin Laden hoopla. Sigh, many said. Texas. This then got some folks angry. Let's take a look at the foofaraw.

Today we talked about Time magazine dusting off the red-X-over-someone's-face thing for their issue about Osama bin Laden's death. OK, good for them, great. Now what do we do with the magazine? (Besides actually reading it.) Well, one commenter has an idea.

Today we all sifted through the Osama bin Laden death news and wondered many things. Is it OK to be happy about a human being dying? One commenter said that it's not really about that.

Today we heard about a profanity-laden tirade issued by our future president, Donald Trump. Man this guy is always flapping that orange mouth of his. What he needs is a simple credo, a short one-sentence motto or philosophy to sum himself up so he can stop talking so much. Luckily one commenter provided that for us.

Today we wondered aloud about who might be showing up to the first Republican presidential debate. So far the lineup is a tableau of crazy! What might the discourse be like at such an event? One commenter has scripted it out.

Today we heard that the producer of the new Atlas Shrugged Part 1 movie might not make parts two and three because the first one has been such a flop. Good, many of you said, because that book stinks. Or does it? One commenter wanted to know what's actually wrong with Ayn Rand's paean to individualism.

Yesterday, we asked for your favorite Friendster memories now that the social network will basically be killed off at the end of May. And here they are! Harrowing, funny online tales from the turn-of-the-century.

Today we heard the story of a male high school student who was asked to leave class because he was wearing high heels. Oh brother. What is it about high heels that gets people so incensed? One commenter knows the explosive secret.

Today we put our heads in our hands as Dilbert creator Scott Adams went further down the rabbit hole of stupidity by ineptly defending Gwyneth Paltrow, talking about privilege and opportunity and all that thorny stuff. What is it about privilege that makes talking about it so hard? Probably it's because lots of people don't know they've had it.

Today we learned that rascally old Donald Trump didn't really care about the birther stuff after all. He said as much in a USA Today column. Oh, he's writing now! How'd he do? Well, one commenter employed some of the Donald's own editing techniques to assess.

Today we heard that exciting new boner-boosters are on their way! Yayyy boners! People love boners, don't they? They really do. I mean, just look at these two commenters waxing rhapsodic about boners!

Today we were presented with the grim truth that Arnold Schwarzenegger's son will soon take over the world. Curious. It must be weird to be Arnold Schwarzenegger's son. How weird? One commenter had a little insight.

Last night we listed some telltale signs that spring has sprung, and among them was the reemergence of ice cream trucks and their jolly little jingles. But could the cheeriness be hiding something sinister? Yes, one commenter told us early this morning.

Today we debated what the single best exercise really is. The New York Times says brisk walking, which is silly. We say: squats. All the squats you can do. But be careful, one commenter warns!

Today we learned that the entire country of Liechtenstein is available for rent. That's crazy! We'd expect this from Luxembourg, but Liechtenstein? Bizarre. So what would one do if one were to rent this tiny pop-art nation? One commenter has an idea.
