I’m almost surprised the space-time continuum didn’t rip apart, but tonight Ron Paul met John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten), and I’m not entirely sure, but I think the Sex Pistol is a fan. While performing “Anarchy in the U.K.”–which Leno noted was kind of appropriate for Paul–Lydon looked at the candidate and said “Hello, Mr. [...]

In the spirit of Guy Fawkes, there is a movement afoot to get 100,000 Ron Paul supporters to donate $100 to his campaign on the fifth of November for a one day total of $10 million. You can sign up to be one of those 100,000 here. But even if you can’t give $100, you [...]
Genarlow Wilson, the young man imprisoned for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old girl when he was 17, has been set free by Georgia’s Supreme Court on the grounds that his sentence amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. Now if only they would imprison the prosecutor of the case and give Wilson back two years [...]

Here’s some evidence, and here is a Louis C.K. interview on the matter. See, booze is good for people. Soulja Boy! There’s really no way to explain this, just watch it. [...]

Norman Podhoretz, the neoconservative [...]
For anyone wondering why I didn’t post anything between Wednesday and now (late Monday night), I apologize for not explaining things beforehand. So here it is, five days late. This weekend, two of my best friends got married. I was a groomsman, so I had quite a few responsibilities I had to take care of. [...]

Correa has refused to renew Washington’s lease on the Manta air base, set to expire in 2009. U.S. officials say it is [...]
This lovely story ought to kill any enthusiasm people have for socialized medicine: Some English people have resorted to pulling out their own teeth because they cannot find — or cannot afford — a dentist, a major study has revealed. Six percent of those questioned in a survey of 5,000 patients admitted they had resorted [...]
I’m a bit late on posting something about Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but I’ve been trying to catch up on everything after spending the weekend in New York City (about which, more later), but here goes anyway. My first reaction to the news was “what does global warming have to do with [...]
This girl sounds like a real winner. (Via Catallarchy.) Easily the coolest thing Danny Bonaduce has ever done. Ow! Can the 2006 National Batting champion hit a world class wiffle ball pitcher? Find out here. Finally, check out Hearing Aid, the metal answer to Band Aid. The best part is either the look on the [...]
