• Why Is The Military Covering Up Murder In Iraq?

  Pfc. Lavena Johnson was the first woman from Missouri to be killed in the Iraq War. She was found in KBR tent with a broken nose, busted teeth, cut-up lip, burn marks on her genitals, and a gunshot wound to her head. The US Military told this soldier's family that their daughter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound... Read More...

• If You Can Name Two Funny Republicans, BarackBook Is For You

  Oh, those conservative icons, members of a party known for supporting the arts, free speech on the internet, and Nerve.com. They've really got us guffawing now: how witty, you'll say!

• While You Were Sleeping: Autistic Children Are Brats?

  The YouTube divorce trial has ended with no surprises. She signed a prenup, so that pretty sure wrapped it up. (Oh yeah, airing your husband's dirty laundry in front of three million people on the internet could not have helped your standing with the judge.) John McCain's essay on the Iraq War was rejected by the New York Times. And not because he's wrong on every single point. Various British media outlets are reporting Christian Bale will be questioned by police over allegations he beat his mother and sister the night before the European premiere of the new Batman movie...

• Iraqi Prime Minister Dares To Defy Bush, Lives To Retract it

  Iraqi Prime Minister Kamal al-Maliki must have felt the full wrath of the Bush White House come down on him yesterday when he first responded to a question about Obama's troop withdrawal plan by saying the Senator's plan "...talks about 16 months... that, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes.” Obama's opponent and the opposition party at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. reacted swiftly, but maybe not swiftly enough to fool anyone...

• While You Were Sleeping: Kardashian Off To The Slammer

  A House Committee investigating the misinformation campaign that arose following the death of soldier Pat Tillman has concluded without any answers. One member of the investigation team said there was a "striking lack of recollection" by officials in the White House and Pentagon as to why Tillman's death was long reported as due to enemy fire instead of friendly fire, which turned out to be the truth. Both of America Ferrera's love interests on "Ugly Betty" are reportedly leaving the show. Damn, this girl already has enough trouble getting a guy... Read More...

• Sloppy Seconds: Topless Chicks Arrested At KFC

  Miss USA fell down during the evening wear competition at the Miss Universe pageant.... for the second year in a row. USA! USA! USA!  A student protester in Iran was beaten, tortured, and imprisoned there after appearing on the cover of The Economist. Two things: People actually read The Economist? And how did the guy get from Iraq to America? The followup doesn't say-- he just escapes from Iran, then makes it to Iraq and... the next thing you know, he's here. Does anyone smell another Bush Administration manipulation here?  Kate Moss, topless on vacation, is apparently trying for the Amy Winehouse-Doing-Kate Moss look these days. Make it stop!

• Is Obama Using the Gore-Kerry Playbook?

  There's no question Barack Obama has moved to the Right since clinching the Democratic nomination. On a variety of issues, as many of his critics (like Joe Lieberman) have pointed out, he's trying to pick up independents and other swing voters by trying to pass himself off as a centrist, a strategy that makes sense on the surface, but doomed both Al Gore and John Kerry to "flip flopping" square status, and could doom him as well...

• CBS News Correspondent Embroiled In Career-Defining Sex Scandal

  Doesn't she kinda look like Liz Hurley in this photo? When Lara Logan, a CBS News and 60 Minutes correspondent in Iraq, was on the Daily Show last week, she caused a minor furor for chastising the media's coverage of the war. Who would've thought that would all be forgotten so soon, brushed aside when word of a big stinker of a sex scandal broke last night? Read More...
