The notion that ‘It's not a conspiracy theory if it's actually true,’ is about as spot-on and useful as ‘Golly, she ain’t a witch if she done drown.’...

It’s almost Halloween weekend, and you’re getting the final details of your costume all worked out. It’s going to be face-slapping rad this year because your best friend said they were going to be decked out as Osama Bin Laden, which forced your hand in the Mummy vs Statue Of Liberty debate. Time to make your parents proud. You need somewhere to sport yourselves as a happy couple. You need an environment where profiling such......

The first Muslim congressman is going to be sworn in using Thomas Jefferson's Quran. God bless America. 2007 will be the hottest year yet. Pet them polar bears goodbye. Stop making fun of grad students. Education keeps you young. A bunch of Whitney Houston's stuff is going to be auctioned off to pay her bills.

The judge in Saddam's trial just told him that he was never a dictator. The enabling magistrate then reassured, "And your butt doesn't look fat in that, either," before the two took final swigs of their Smirnoff Ices and headed down to Sixth Street. Bush tells conservative journos that this country is in the middle of a third Great Awakening. That crumbling you hear? Oh, that's nothing, just a pesky little wall between church......

The FDA approved Plan B as an OTC drug for women 18 and older; the Christian Right looks on in horror as chicks across the nation head out to slut it up.

Another Waco-type situation presently looms on the horizon out in west Texas, just south of San Angelo.

Jeffs is wanted in Arizona and Utah on criminal charges of sexual conduct with a minor and rape. He is also......

The SWAT standoff off of Riverside yesterday ended in the arrest of a 19-year old who allegedly shot two people overnight-injuries were minor. George W. Bush's visit to India-in hopes of congealing some kind of partnership with the country-is laughable. His next stop is Pakistan where, ironically, he has been deemed as The Most Hated Man. If only we had his confidence, after a 5 year search, Bush insists that Osama Bin Laden will......
