There's a certain type of person who simply can't be trusted to wield any sort of power. You know the type -- they were the self-important, arrogant jackasses in your high school class who somehow managed to avoid having reality give them a good kick in the butt. Today's example is something that probably went […]
Frankly, the world would be a better place if former President Jimmy Carter stuck to building homes and was kept away from any writing implements, cameras or microphones. Carter's latest bit of dreck is entitled "Palestine: Peace not apartheid." Thankfully, that's all you need to read to know that Carter would rather all those troublesome […]
For those of you who don't pay a lot of attention to the celebrity "news," actor Michael Richards -- famous for playing Cosmo Kramer on the "Seinfeld" show -- lost his cool and started throwing the n-word around during an appearance at a comedy club last week.
