In Friday's Washington Post, gossips Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts reported that Sarah Palin's eldest child Track is divorcing his wife after a little more than a year of marriage. "She keeps her jewelry; he keeps his guns" in the settlement, they joked from the TMZ report. But in June of 2010, when Al Gore's eldest child Karenna was divorcing, she was a "crisis management" role model…

For general discussion and civilized debate about whatever you want.

Friday's horrible massacre at a Connecticut elementary school has predictably fired up the left in this country to call for tighter gun restrictions as they blame the event on pro-Second Amendment advocates. Possibly the worst example of this came Friday evening on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight when Democratic New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler disgracefully said, "We have a lobby, the…

As voting on Egypt's constitution begins, an Associated Press story this morning by Aya Batrawy and Sarah El Deeb typifies how the U.S. press is only nibbling around the edges of its content. The headline reads "EGYPTIANS VOTE ON ISLAMIST-BACKED CONSTITUTION." In the story's content, the pair found an 23 year-old Egyptian engineer who told them, in their words, that "he felt the proposed…

When TNT was preparing its annual special “Christmas in Washington” with the President of the United States, you’d think the last star musician they would consider to join the official caroling would be Psy, the South Korean rapper. What on Earth is Christmasy about this man’s invisible-horse-riding dance to his dorky disco-rap hit “Gangnam Style”? It’s not exactly the natural flip-side to “O…

National Public Radio always knows which party funds it, and which party would rather shut it down. On Thursday night’s All Things Considered, their top story was “On Fiscal Cliff, Majority of Public Sides with Democrats, Pew Poll Says.” The NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll may say that 46 percent wanted Congress to "take the lead role in setting policy for the country," compared to only 40…

The situation in Michigan resulting from the government's passage of “right to work" laws in a heavily unionized state reached a new level on Friday, when Fox News contributor Steven Crowder filed a complaint with the police regarding an attack on him by a protester. “By calling in, he's in essence filed a complaint,” said Richard Hale, the shift supervisor at the Lansing post of the…

Another week, another version of the Daily Kos meme about Republicans preparing to launch a genocidal rampage. This time, a Kossack asserted that conservative activists collectively should be called the "Amer Rouge" since they're "bloodthirsty, cruel, and increasingly deranged" and, given the chance, would carry out mass murder of their political opponents just as the real Khmer Rouge did in…

This wins for Most Implausible Headline of the Week: “Anne Hathaway takes moral stance on wardrobe malfunction.” The Los Angeles Times gossip blog isn’t completely serious about this – this being Hathaway “forgetting” to wear underwear to a huge premiere stuffed with paparazzi. Matt Donnelly of the Times slammed Matt Lauer for how he “grazed the incident with creepy-uncle-overtures” in a…

Andrew Rosenthal, the driving force behind the perpetually hyperventilating and self-contradicting editorials that fill up space in the New York Times’s opinion pages has now proven that he can hyperventilate and contradict himself in real-time. The editorial page editor demonstrated this rare talent today on Twitter as he responded to the shooting at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, first…

ABCNews.com doesn’t know how to use quote marks for this headline: “Obama: More Moderate Republican Than Socialist.” Obama told a Miami interviewer that "The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican." Lloyd Bentsen impressions are mandatory: I knew moderate…

Following Susan Rice’s abrupt withdrawal from being considered for Secretary of State, NBC's Andrea Mitchell felt it important to sneer that Republican opposition to Ms. Rice was racially motivated. Speaking on MSNBC’s The Cycle Thursday afternoon, Mitchell’s immediate analysis of Rice’s withdrawal was that, “this is not going to help Republicans at all, the fact that a woman and a woman of…

Cable sports network ESPN has suspended its commentator Rob Parker following his offensive racial tirade against Washington Redskins player Robert Griffin III. In a segment on yesterday’s First Take program, Parker said that the rookie quarterback was “not one of us” and that he was only “kind of black” because he is engaged to a white woman, is rumored to be a Republican, and has spoken in…

Barbara Walters is known for asking ridiculous questions during her famous interviews, but this time it appears she has gone too far, annoying even the liberal co-hosts of MSNBC’s The Cycle. The day after Barbara Walters’ annual Most Fascinating People Special Wednesday night, the cast of The Cycle, most notably co-host Toure, savaged Ms. Walters for her “embarrassing, dereliction of duty”…
