[CNN] Childhood obesity is Michelle Obama’s new thing, as obese children are the [...]
One of the winners of the Nobel Prize for Economics is some American gal, Elinor Ostrom, who is the first lady economist ever to win.

You careless fools! Barack Obama’s name is misspelled on a diplomatic agreement he signed with Dmitry Medvedev, which means … Stalin gets East Germany back. How could this happen? [RedState] Did Sarah Palin read a book, or stumble across Wikiquotes? And is there a difference? Let’s ask Plato. [Think Progress] The American Hostage Crisis is [...]
America’s first black president, 12-year-old space monster Michael Jackson, is still dead. But like most Americans, you are probably wondering, “Is he in the coffin at that vulgar Staples Center death show in Los Angeles, or is whatever’s left of his body somewhere else?” TMZ just sent us this EXCLUSIVE photo showing … we don’t [...]
Congressman Pete King: Is he the Mike Gravel of 2009?

Here is a hint: one was a bizarre recluse who traveled with chimps, danced like an [...]

POLITICS CANCELED DUE TO JACKO’S DEMEROL OVERDOSE: “As anyone who has turned on a television set in the past 12-15 hours has noticed, Michael Jackson’s passing will overshadow any political news today — and perhaps throughout the weekend.” Happy hour starts … NOW. [First Read]
One-man circus Michael Jackson has officially died, and somebody is very, very happy about this news. (That “somebody” is Mark Sanford. Adios, Mark! Enjoy the rest of your life.) We, of course, could give a hoot about Michael Jackson, although your editor once free-lanced a “concert review” of Wacko Jacko’s post-pedophile (?) 1996 performance in [...]
IT’S 9/11 + HALLOWEEN × INFINITY: Human oddity Michael Jackson is dead, according to a chain of increasingly reliable media outlets starting with TMZ and ending with Raw Story the New York Times.
