White House Denies CIA Teleported Obama to Mars →
“Forget Kenya. Never mind the secret madrassas. The sinister, shocking truth about Barack Obama’s past lies not in east Africa, but in outer space. As a young man in the early 1980s, Obama was part of a secret CIA project to explore Mars. The future president teleported there, along with the future head of Darpa.”

'Mister PeePee' On Mission To Masturbate In Every... →
A local man calling himself Mister PeePee is on a mission to masturbate in every Starbucks bathroom in New York City, and to photograph the results.
This is from October. How did I go this long without knowing this?

The Media's Blackout Of The National Defense... →
The broadcast media’s ignorance and unwillingness to cover the National Defense Authorization Act, a radical piece of legislation which outrageously redefines the US homeland as a “battlefield” and makes US citizens subject to military apprehension and detainment for life without access to a trial or attorney, is unacceptable.
Guys, this is far more important than Penn State’s Disgusting Creep...

Obama's Failing E-mails →
None of us gave $50 hoping for a favor. Quite the opposite. You gave $50 hoping that, for the first time in a long while in American politics, no one would get a favor. And the candidate, it must be said, led us on.

White House turns back on clemency, including... →
“Presidents have historically granted requests for clemency from thousands of people—not just people like financier Marc Rich, who had fled to Switzerland to escape prosecution. After high-powered lobbying and campaign contributions, Rich was pardoned by Bill Clinton at the end of his presidency; that and several other pardons and clemencies became highly controversial. The Obama administration...

Obama’s Pipeline Mess →
“This is quite possibly the biggest potential scandal of the Obama years…
And Obama? Obama’s said nothing about Keystone all year long. Not when 1,253 people were arrested outside his door in late summer, the biggest civil-disobedience protests in 30 years. Not when 10 of his fellow Nobel Peace laureates wrote to tell him the pipeline was immoral. Not now that this scandal is breaking,...

“My suspicion is that the people who might have been on the front lines covering this don’t respect it. They are not being open-minded about it. They are kind of shrugging it off.”

Steve Jobs dead: Brilliant, yes, but he wasn't an... →
…did Steve Jobs really deserve the kind of veneration he has received from his fans and a fawning media? The BBC, after all, led its news programmes on his death. Or does his elevation to near sainthood say everything about the modern world and our obsession with needless gadgets?

In the words of SNL Celebrity Jeopardy Alex Trebek, “The show has reached a new low.”
Drilling will commence summer 2012 in the Chuckchi Sea, where Alaska and Russia meet. Environmental groups fume. Shell pleased. Rare species at risk.
Here is a round up:

Steve Jobs of Apple Dies at 56 →
If he had a motto, it may have come from “The Whole Earth Catalog,” which he said had deeply influenced him as a young man. The book, he said in his commencement address at Stanford in 2005, ends with the admonition “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”
RIP. :(
