That's right, March 8th marked the "historic demonstration of the first CD prototype codenamed 'Pinkeltje' on March 8th, 1979." Well congratulations, compact disc, I almost forgot you were still here. While many would argue that the CD is on its way out in favor of smaller, highly portable MP3 files...

Hey, Hillary did something awesome: Our new Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor is Michael Posner, head of Human Rights First. Posner has a long history of doing good and noble things, like helping torture victims and refugees and promoting "corporate accountability f...

That's right folks, you are looking at a model of prolific writing. Well technically, a Zelda shield cake I just looked up on the internet. But that's not what's important, that's just what you're going to bake me tonight for forgetting this momentous occasion. 3,000 articles, wow. And you guys have...

What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families fin...

One day Dale Lyle got a speeding ticket in the mail issued by one of those automatic ticketing cameras. It claimed he was doing 98MPH in his 14-year old Honda Civic, a car he insisted could only do 85MPH max on a downhill slope with a tailwind. So what did he do? He did what any badass would do -- h...

Don’t you even go there. My crush on Josh Brolin is on thin ice most of the time anyway, so he really, really should not have opened his drunk mouth and said this: After Sean Penn introduced him, Brolin said, “Quite an actor, Sean Penn. And not an asshole like Russell Crowe.â€� He then repea...
