The White House released a single dignified photo of a very important ceremony for our war heroes. Why in the world would the Pentagon complain?

is going to use 'weird' as code for 'Mormon.' I am really starting to respect
that urban, rhythmic, Socialist, Kenyan secret Muslim." –Stephen Colbert, on

have been huge riots in England the past couple of days. People are fighting,
throwing rocks, smashing windows. And they're doing it the hard way, without a
soccer game." –Jay Leno The Missionary Position
The Bible
tells wives to be submissive to their husbands. If she were president, would
that apply to Michele Bachmann?

Palin's daughter-in-law just gave birth three months after getting married, and
thus won the annual Palin Almost Abstinent Award." –Jay Leno MittWit Romney
Out on the campaign trail today in Iowa, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney fended off a feisty crowd as he voiced his somewhat controversial legal view that corporations are people just like you and me. "Corporations are people, my friend" he said to the sound of booming guffaws.

"Levi
Johnston, who got Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol pregnant, has a sister Mercede,
who just posed for 'Playboy' and said some very unflattering things about the
Palins. She said Track Palin, who she dated, used cocaine and oxycodone, that
Sarah Palin forced him to go into the military to protect herself, and that if
Palin became President she'd have a mental breakdown. Then the photographer
asked her to turn a little so he could get both nipples." –Jimmy Kimmel
Subject: Response to that emailer "wierd"
Lisa, Shame on you for helping people with PTSD! Or finding like minded people who LOVE your humor (especially your toons) and are willing to fund you! How dare you want me to know how you fought tragedy in your life, including giving us medical updates on your cancer care. Where the hell do you think you are? In America? Sadly so, all sarcasm put aside now, this country, as you stated the other day, has become callous. And that emailer is just reflective of the greed that has brought this country to its knees. We're all in this together, Lisa, my economic woes aren't only temporarily erased when I read ahnc but my woes are so much smaller than yours that you inspire me. I just wanted you to know that and hope you know how many people, thousands, i'm sure, that feel just as I do, my wife, all my in-laws-her in-laws and my dozens of friends at work do when we read ahnc. Keep the faith, baby. Charles
ps check is in the mail.

And with even more gratitude, Charles, thank you for the kind words.
"They say the price of gas could soon be under $3 a gallon. Do you know what that means? You can now afford to drive by the house you used to live in, go by the job you used to have, and go see the bank where you used to have money." –Jay Leno

Apple has pulled its
iTunes store from the Christian Values Network due to what it sees as the
network's contributions to controversial groups, as tech companies tread
carefully in the midst of complicated social issues.
I hope you had a good time today.

This breathtaking image of an underwater maze inside a glacier was taken by an intrepid explorer in freezing temperatures. Photographer Franco Banfi regularly braves sub-zero temperatures to dive under thick ice and capture remarkable pictures at considerable risk to his life. The glaciers create extraordinary underwater caves and passages due to changes in temperature between the summer and winter months. Photo: FRANCO BANFI
