  • Here's a wonderful photo of Jeff Greene partying with Mike Tyson.
  • The forthcoming anti-"Ground Zero" "Mosque" ad that will appear on MTA buses has a deliberate factual misstatement on it.
  • Were attacks on Elena Kagan echoes on old attacks on "Jewish Bolshevism"?
  • Obama did the thing again where he calls on Congress to pass something after it's already a done deal.
  • While Obama sat around wondering whose ass to kick as oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico, Russian superman Vladimir Putin hopped in a plane and personally put out some fires.
  • Former Mexican President Vincente Fox calls for Mexico to legalize drugs, which would probably help their situation a lot, though not as much as it would help them if we legalized drugs.
