From Salon: Do Hannity and North operate a "charitable" fraud? Sean Hannity and Ollie North say they collect millions of dollars for veterans' kids. But where did the money go? A potentially damaging scandal erupted today that implicates Fox News Channel personalities Sean Hannity and Oliver North in the worst kind of charitable fraud. According to complaints filed with the Federal Trade Commission and the IRS, the two right-wing icons have exploited American veterans for personal and partisan gain. The actions filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington accuse Hannity

Can you level up your units so that they can rain fire or electricity down upon your opponents – and/or can you maybe ride a dragon into battle against those damn confederates? Cause if you can do that that would be awesome, and I would definitely download this game from Pirate Bay. But in all seriousness, the game looks great. I like the idea behind real-time strategy games, but once the fighting starts, I get all panicky, forget all the commands and which unit works best against other units, and so just end up getting all my little men killed. I’m more of a turn-based, Civilization man my

The conservative movement continues to eat its own - this time, it's David Frum for daring to speak his mind/tell the truth. David Frum, AEI SPLIT: Conservative's Position 'Terminated' By Major Think Tank http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/25/david-frum-aei-split-cons_n_513544.html

Agreed, the wife and I burst out laughing when the music kicked in. My big thing (among many other things) is how in the hell are they going to, a.) fix a jumbo jet on a deserted island, and then b.) build a sufficient runway, and then c.) fly the damn plane?

No, really, it’s not – and they’ve said as much. As far as polls, well, considering that a not insubstantial number of folks who were against the bill were against the bill due to all the fabricated bullshit coming from the right, and when asked, can’t quite tell you why they oppose it, other than, they just oppose it, or, if they do, they just rattle off republican talking points having to do with socialism and the loss of freedom and what not, I think the polls are pretty much useless. I would argue that at least 75% of the population is completely in the dark with respect to the actu

We ran into the same problem with our infant daughter, eventually, they just sort of become accustomed to the crate.

Has anyone talked to Limbaugh to find out when he’s moving, and where he’s moving to? He said on the air that if the bill passes, he would leave the country – I’m just hoping he doesn’t renege on his pledge – cause that would make him a flip flopper – and we all know how he just can’t stand a flippy flopper.

Sort of – he was around quite a bit, and we all hung out at the same dives in Lowell, The Worthen, The Safe and then Smithwick’s, but he and Kevin sort of fell out of favor with each other – I think Kevin referred to him as a “douche bag” in the liner notes of a post-Dave Shods release. From what I understand, they have reconciled. Jess, my wife, has known Dave since high school . Dave, Kevin, my brother in law, Adam, and Kevin’s brother, Eric – have all been in bands together at one time or another – Only Living Witness, Formicide, The Shods, The Invaders, Duck Duck, Two Sun System, Hank Cran

My friend Kevin (lead singer of The Shods), who also happens to be my wife’s cousin, was a close friend of Joe Strummer – end of need to elaborate further.

Yep - these people shouldn’t even be allowed to decide what pretty pictures are included in one of those coloring books they sometimes give children at like, Applebees, nevermind anything having to do with history or science or economics or, like, reality.

Stupid shit like this certainly isn't helping... Texas Conservatives Win Curriculum Change http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/13/education/13texas.html

If it makes you feel any better, every year, for Christmas, for like, the last 10, my aunt has given the wife and I a $50 gift certificate for the Outback Steakhouse – which, is great and all, but we’re vegetarians.

Corey Haim is dead, Los Angeles Police confirmed to TV station KTLA. He was 38. Police say it is believed the actor, who had a long history of substance-abuse problems, perished from an accidental overdose at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. Haim reportedly was found unresponsive at his Southern California apartment. His mother was said to be with him at the time. He was pronounced dead Providence St. Joseph's Medical Center in Burbank. Haim shot to fame in the '80s after starring in several teen films, including The Lost Boys, Lucas and License to Drive. Most notably, he collaborated numerous

I think he just made an I Love You video to his own self.

Well this just sucks.

Surely there has to be some irony (or some variation thereof )in here somewhere: link - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/04/roy-ashburn-arrested-anti_n_485419.html

If in this example we’re defining irony as the GOP claiming bias in a situation in which they themselves are guilty of displaying bias, is it really ironic or just hypocritical? I’m not trying to be a pain in the ass (though I probably am, by default), and keep in mind I’m someone who throws the word ironic around as if I get a royalty check every time I do – though, I’m not quite at the level of Alanis.

Whenever I watch a Sandra Bullock movie, I think, I’m watching a Sandra Bullock movie in which Sandra Bullock gives her standard Sandra Bullock performance – I get a similar feeling whenever I watch a movie starring Jennifer Aniston.

Unlike Poon, I will bag on Bullock, and suggest that as an actress, she displays about as much range as a Daisy Red Rider bb gun – a popular, yet weak starter rifle not exactly known for its abilty to knock stuff down. I haven’t seen Avatar, but sort of suspect that the Academy nominated it based on its ability to fill theaters, something that is sort of rare nowadays, rather than anything having to do with artistic merit – which is not to say the CGI is not flat out amazing, but it has all the depth of an episode of the Thunder Cats, at least based on what I gather from the commercials I’ve

By my count, 10.

For the people who clicked on the spoiler link - is anyone else concerned that Bob Newhart is scheduled to appear in the final episode?

Farking hirarious.
