So, Dick Cheney. Is he really a being so evil that even George W. Bush was alarmed at his cold amorality or is he just trying to make Bush look good?

Oh boy, the stimulus won't pass the Senate because it doesn't have that magic 60 votes! We're all screwed, because of imaginary filibusters!

Hitler bombed London for two months straight and the Brits stiff-upper-lipped themselves back to work, but a foot of snow has destroyed the morale of those once-proud people.

Caroline Kennedy will not be a Senator, and her aborted attempt at being appointed one basically destroyed the reputation of the last Kennedy left who anyone liked.

Birds hate us, and our way of life. Specifially the flying part of our way of life. So for a hundred years they've been hurling themselves into our aircraft, as a Times investigation now reveals.

Wanna know why Bill Clinton hates Barack Obama so much? Because our Hopey President-elect is basically rerunning the entire script of Clinton's '92 campaign, including the Obama meme-of-the-day: chafing at life inside "the bubble."

A dead man and 18 others currently not in prison received coveted pardons from President Bush today, as he continues to just fuck with us on his way out of office.

In four weeks, every single email and document the Bush administration created is required by law to be sent to the National Archives. They are scrambling to make sure that doesn't happen, obv.

Paul Weyrich, the inventor of the "moral majority," hateful bastard, unpleasant bigot, and influential conservative, died today at 66.

Entertainment Weekly published its 1,000th issue earlier this year—and maybe that was enough, since they're rumored to be considering killing their print edition next year. Let's look back at EW's fun history! Okay:
