The National Oceanic lab scientists warned that radioactive ocean water is headed for the West Coast from last year's Fukushima reactor leak. The Japanese may expose Americans to nuclear radiation. So it's true that what goes around, comes around.
Joe Biden gave a speech to the NAACP convention. He planned to thank them for agreeing to college football playoffs, and then he was reminded he wasn't addressing the NCAA. So he threw away his speech and paid tribute to Dale Earnhardt.
New York's Joey Chestnut won the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island on July Fourth. He ate sixty-eight hot dogs in twenty minutes. Mayor Bloomberg was on hand to arrest the winner when he ordered a twenty-ounce Pepsi to wash it down.
Congress faces a new round of tense debt ceiling negotiations this summer when the Members return to Washington from recess. Democrats warn that if the debt ceiling is not raised, the U.S. government will cease to function. The question is, how would they tell?
The Southern Baptist Convention elected Reverend Fred Luther their first black president in history. Whites fell in love with Luther's ministry when black and white congregations had to worship together in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The White House didn't waste any time Friday blaming the racial harmony on George W. Bush.
President Obama was ripped by conservatives for his decree that overturned the defeat of his Dream Act in Congress. The act allows illegal alien children to stay in the U.S. but placed a ten percent tax on tanning salons. Leave it to Democrats to subsidize brown people who want to be Americans and tax Americans who want to be brown people.
Commerce Secretary John Bryson smashed his car into a Buick as the Buick was waiting for a train to go by. He got out and apologized, then smashed into the Buick again. President Obama called a press briefing Monday and said the Buick is doing just fine.
President Obama said he needs a second term in order to re-write his health care reform law if the Supreme Court strikes it down. It's only right. In America we're taught that everyone deserves a second chance whose first chance was ruled unconstitutional.
South Dakota park police arrested a fifty-year-old Chicago man they caught trying to scale Mt Rushmore. It was a long afternoon for everyone. It took them an hour to explain to President Obama that climbing Mt. Rushmore doesn't entitle you to say that you're on it.
Robert Downey Jr. got a fifty million dollar payout for The Avengers. Like President Obama, he has evolved. Early in his career he was a liberal, after Iron Man he became a moderate, and as soon as his check for the Avengers cleared, he came out for states' rights and the flat tax.
President Obama flew to Afghanistan to address U.S. troops. This wasn't a stunt. The president had to go to Afghanistan because unless he's in a country where the women are covered from head to toe, the Secret Service loses interest in him and wanders off.
U.S. Marine Gary Stein was dismissed for making disparaging comments about Barack Obama. If you're in the armed forces you're not allowed to criticize the Commander-in-Chief. That is one of the reasons the president favors legislation to draft the whole country.
Colombian hooker Dania Suarez admitted she ignited the Secret Service sex scandal. She's one of twenty hookers who made two hundred dollars an hour at the party. Four years ago President Obama promised better-paying jobs for women, and he delivered.
President Obama summoned millionaires to the White House to call for higher taxes on wealthy Americans. They confessed to reporters that they don't pay their fair share. Democrats think it's okay to be rich as long as you just feel awful about it.
Mitt Romney emerged Tuesday as the certain GOP nominee against President Obama this fall. The choice is not exactly inspiring. This is the first presidential race that'll be won by whichever candidate best portrays himself as the minimally acceptable alternative.
Germany's Supreme Court ruled it's legal for German police to racially profile people as suspects. We know where this ends. Jesse Jackson just issued a travel warning for Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, France and, if nothing is done to stop it, England.
Congress passed a bill banning insider trading by House members. It's a watered down version of the original bill. It strictly bans insider trading by members of Congress but it has exceptions for stocks, bonds, real estate, currency and precious metals.
President Obama visited the Copper Mountain Solar Panel Facility. This plant is in Nevada. It's more evidence that solar power is genuinely useful when you notice that every solar panel company is located in the home state of a powerful Democrat.
President Obama hosted a state dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron. The president and the British are getting along a lot better lately. They love to compare notes on ways the Tea Party's always trying to overthrow their rule in America.
President Obama compared himself to Gandhi and Nelson Mandela in the struggle to bring about change. The comparison is flawed. They spent years in jail before taking political power, while politicians from Chicago do it the other way around.
