    There’s something about watching Betty White get flattened. Abe Vigoda, too. Speaking of Abe Vigoda, Andrew Malcolm has the most talked about commercial. I don’t know what the fuss was about. Actually, I do. It is about being women who had abortions being reminded of the Tim Tebow or Trig Palin they gave [...]

    Gallup is reviewing data from its various polls in 2009 to give a picture of the nation, state by state. Looking ahead to 2010, Gallup asked people in 2009 if the economy is getting better or worse. The most confident “state” was Washington, D.C., where 46% said better. Given all the federal [...]

    A 20-year-old woman who was molested and photographed by her uncle when she was 8 or 9 wants anyone who viewed the child porn to pay compensation to her and other similar victims. “It is hard to describe what it feels like to know that at any moment, anywhere, someone is [...]
