President Bush continued to show the American people that the term “commander-in-chief” is only an honorary title.

On Saturday, the Israeli government proved that you don’t necessarily have to be the United States to bomb a country for no good reason.

California gubernatorial recall frontrunner, movie star, and avid groper Arnold Schwarzenegger attempted to dispel widespread accusations concerning his philandering, misogyny and Hitler-loving by appearing on NBC’s “Dateline Tuesday” – his wife, Maria Shriver’s, saccharine-coated television newsmagazine.

In an attempt to one-up “Entertainment Weekly,” noted Portland author Chuck Palahniuk came out of the closet last week to a rousing chorus of “So what”‘ s from the media, the general public, and his marginalized, alienated and thoroughly dissociate fan base, while only proving that his novel “Fight Club” was indeed the seminal work in homoerotic fiction of the late ”90s.

The proposed legislation is intended to bring the money back into the United States, where it could stimulate our doomed economy and the thinly stretched wallets of senators everywhere. This desperate and absurd “solution” to our economical woes could be metaphorically likened to giving a $100 tip to the guy who just mugged you.
