From Tiger Wood's personal website: Hey, Tiger, I was just wondering if you and your wife ever go out on dates? I mean, I never see you out in People magazine, and I know the paparazzi are everywhere! I think Elin and I have avoided a lot of media attention because we're kind of boring. When we do go out, we like to go to the movies. When we go for dinner, it's usually at the same few restaurants. Mostly, people are very nice and just want to say hi. There are a lot of evenings we'll just rent a...

Memo to children — and adults for that matter — everywhere: Don’t try to emulate Flick from "A Christmas Story." Ever. Your tongue will get stuck to a metal pole when the temperature is -2. Boise fire officials were able to help a boy whose tongue was stuck to a metal fence pole... Firefighters didn't ask him his age but said he was probably 10. The boy is OK... The boy’s tongue was bleeding a little bit but there was no visible tearing. When Boise firefighters arrived, they found the boy standing by the 8 foot tall chain link fence...

Two mega-celebrities with Jesus complexes coming together in honor of the actual Jesus. Perfect. All they need now is a cameo from Bono and the circle will be complete. On the upside: At least it’s not a “holiday” special. The queen of daytime will interview the president of the country during an ABC holiday special that brings together Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama. The network has announced “Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special,” which includes an interview with the president, a conversation with the First Couple and tour of the White House. The special marks the first...

"Environmental group World Wildlife Fund (WWF) activist performs for a protest."

I am designing my annual Christmas card for my leftist moonbat sister-in-law. I need a list of things that Obama would ask Santa for i.e. Fox News to quit picking on him. I want at least 10-20 things if possible. Help would be appreciated. The more sarcastic the better.

An employee of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was arrested on charges of disabling the fire alarm system and damaging property in his Metairie hotel room, according to a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrest report.

In a situation that most any conservatives can relate to, a stupid Reporter and his Guide catches an anaconda snake off guard. Well they decide to harass the snake and play with him for a few minutes before tossing him like garbage, away from the camp. Remind you of the way the drive-by media treats conservatives? Well, that's the first thing I thought of when I watched it. Anyway, after a little while the Guide hears the reporter screaming for help. So he rushes to where the Reporter is and finds him under attack from the angry anaconda that tracked...

What is the WRVA-Alden Aaroe Shoe Fund?.The “Shoe Fund” was started in 1968 by legendary WRVA morning host Alden Aaroe as a way to raise money to literally buy shoes for needy Richmond area youngsters. Since its conception more than 6 million dollars has been raised for that purpose. Today the fund also buys coats, school supplies and other items. One thing is still the same, every penny stays here in the Richmond area. The fund is administered by the Greater Richmond Salvation Army. If you’re interested in making enough of a contribution to pay for a pair of shoes,...

For 10 side-splitting seasons and one feature film, the crew of the Satellite of Love orbited Earth, faced with the arduous assignment of watching and lampooning only the most wretched movies ever made.

2009 will probably go down as the Year of Stupid. Everywhere you look you see birthers, deathers, deniers, tea fetishists, and semi-literate amateur pundits screaming and frothing over their unsupported, repeatedly debunked line of argument. They are wrong. Dead wrong. Distractingly, even dangerously wrong. And since they will not, or more likely cannot, understand this fact they go on screaming and frothing in a fruitless quest for validation. They'll disrupt town hall meetings, Congressional addresses, and children's birthday parties to remind you, just in case you allowed yourself to forget for even a moment, of just how painfully stupid they...

There seem to be two kinds of people in the world: those who don't understand cats, and those who think cats are kind of douchebags. Unfortunately for cat lovers, science has kind of come down on the side of that second group. Research has revealed that a lot of the quirky and even cute things your kitty does are actually signs that your cat is kind of a d***.

Watch out for the losing streak.. LOVELOCK - USA - Fallen golf star, Tiger Woods, today visited another fallen sports star, O.J. Simpson in prison. No one knows what was said between the two disgraced American stars but one thing is for sure, there must have been some brotherly advise handed down to the newly fallen Woods. Simpson is currently serving a nine year sentence in a Nevada prison for theft. "Tiger is new to disgrace, so we think O.J. must have just told him to shrug his shoulders and take the beating like a man. O.J. is certainly no...

Seemingly unaware of the beast towering over it, the tiny rodent grabbed at scraps of meat thrown into the African Leopard's enclosure. But instead of pouncing on the tiny intruder, the 12-year-old leopard Sheena kept her distance. After a few minutes she tried to nudge the mouse away with her nose, but the determined little guy kept chewing away until he was full.

The 31-year-old leggy and busty blond spent Sunday calling friends, saying, "My involvement with Tiger Woods has just surfaced," according to a pal. Rist also had to explain the sudden media attention to her 7-year-old son, who has idolized Woods since his mother got him an autographed golf club from the Grand Slam-winning legend. The alleged mistress' ex-husband,...

"Saturday Night Live" is making headlines for featuring a skit over the weekend, which parodied domestic violence. On Saturday night's episode, the NBC sketch comedy show made light of Tiger Woods' scandalous week, satirizing reports - denied by the golfer - that his wife, Elin Nordegren, attacked him prior to his early-morning car accident on November 27 with a sketch featuring Keenan Thomson and host Blake Lively. However, the show's musical guest was Rihanna - a victim of domestic violence earlier this year from then-boyfriend Chris Brown -- prompting concerns from several media outlets that the show's humor was insensitive...

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth. Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he was finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check. Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she was finished the devil informs her that cost is 6 million dollars, so Queen Elizabeth writes him a check....

On Friday night, Michael Savage kept reiterating that he was leaving early because he was going have dinner with potentially the next president of the United States.He was trying to be secretive by using the phrases "him or her" and "he or she" -- but the only big name Republican anywhere near him in San Francisco was Mitt Romney who addressed some type of economic conference. (And Governor Palin was en route from Texas to Virginia, I believe, though perhaps I have the wrong date...)I was expecting to see reports about this meeting of two great minds, here on Free...

The Earth's temperature may be 30-50 percent more sensitive to atmospheric carbon dioxide than has previously been estimated, reports a new study published in Nature Geoscience this weekIn the long term, the Earth's temperature may be 30-50% more sensitive to atmospheric carbon dioxide than has previously been estimated, reports a new study published in Nature Geoscience this week. The results show that components of the Earth's climate system that vary over long timescales – such as land-ice and vegetation – have an important effect on this temperature sensitivity, but these factors are often neglected in current climate models.

Prof. Rick Trebino Georgia Institute of Technology School of Physics Atlanta, GA 30332 rick.trebino@physics.gatech.edu www.physics.gatech.edu/frog The essence of science is reasoned debate. So, if you disagree with something reported in a scientific paper, you can write a “Comment” on it. Yet you don’t see many Comments. Some believe that this is because journal editors are reluctant to publish Comments because Comments reveal their mistakes—papers they shouldn’t have allowed to be published in the first place. Indeed, scientists often complain that it can be very difficult to publish one. Fortunately, in this article, I’ll share with you my recent experience...

An armed robbery suspect who police said photographed himself with his victim's cell phone has surrendered. Kadeen Cooke, 18, turned himself in at the Philadelphia Police Department's North Detectives late Thursday night. Attorney Shaka Johnson said his client called the moment he knew police were looking for him. "He's here to clear his name, and I hope that the investigating bodies do not rush to judgment behind a photo in a cell phone. It is just a picture, and I don't believe that there will be any additional evidence otherwise. It's just a picture," Johnson said.

TIGER Woods was rated as "horrible in bed" by one of his lovers, it was revealed yesterday. The damning verdict came from Las Vegas cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs, who says she had a 31-month fling with the married golf superstar. The 24-year-old mistress told fellow contestants on US TV reality show Tool Academy she had also "hooked up" with George Clooney. But while she was full of praise for the movie heartthrob, she mauled Tiger. Telly pal Krista Grubb, 27, told The Sun: "She was showing all these texts from Tiger and George. One she said was from George said,...
