Osama bin Ladin must be laughing his ass off. Not only is he still on the loose, but, for the cost of a couple of dozen box cutters and flight lessons for a half-dozen suicidal volunteers, he's made the U.S. the laughing stock of the entire planet. Of course, he…
Duped from Ethics Gradient.
They’ve started advertising the DVD version of that infernal, mendacious, highly offensive, wilfully ignorant and misleading waste of megabytes known as Expelled. Bay of Fundie has scratched the surface of their advertising and revealed some new information.

James Taylor will be releasing his new CD, "Covers," tomorrow. I'm in. In my opinion, James Taylor is an incredible musician who surrounds himself with incredible musicians. Like all geniuses, he's reinvented himself several times along the way, and he's been cranking out hits for almost 40 years. Anyone who…
Keith Olberman has some fun riffing on Rove/Palin here.
