In an recent interview with the Associated Press Garrison Keillor says he plans to step down as host of A Prairie Home Companion (APHC) after the 2015-2016 season. The 72 year old said, "I have a lot of other things that I want to do. I mean, nobody retires anymore. Writers never retire. But this is my last season. This tour this summer is the farewell tour."

Barrow, AK - VampCon, an annual convention of the world's leading vampires, was disrupted today by activists from Blacula Lives Matter. Formed following the decapitation of Tara "True Blood" Thornton by Swedish vampire hunters outside of a St. Louis nightclub last April, Blacula Lives Matter often draws attention to black vampire slayings by interrupting accursed gatherings. Dracula: Prince of Darkness, dressed in a black Armani suit and silk cape, was concluding his lecture on professionalism and decorum when the activists began yelling from the audience. As he admonished younger vampires for wearing excessive glitter lotion and not only playing with,...

People magazine's pick for their annual "Sexiest Man Alive" cover story is ... another white guy. David Beckham, the 40-year-old retired soccer star, received the nod on Tuesday, making him the latest in a long line of white men so honored since the magazine started awarding the title 30 years ago. Denzel Washington is the only person of color to ever grace a "Sexiest Man Alive" cover, and that was 19 years ago. Meanwhile, four white actors (Richard Gere, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp) have earned the distinction twice. ~snip~ "I'm not personally slighted by it, majorly because...

To Obama's side, there are knives with the words race, immigration, global warming, etc. The top caption over the cartoon should read, "Dividing America, one issue at a time."

The Hesburgh letter recognized “the validity of protest” but made clear that any group that “substituted force for rational persuasion, be it violent or nonviolent,” would be given 15 minutes to meditate. Students who persisted would have their IDs confiscated and be “suspended from this community.” On cue, Yale President Peter Salovey calls for civility and has repeated Yale’s commitment to free expression. But at a moment when people thirst for a university president who will back up his words, Mr. Salovey, like so many others, apologizes. “We have failed you,” he told protestors. Indeed they have failed. Just not...

I am sorry that I have not been very responsive lately to your Emails. I have been somewhat under the weather since my doctors informed me that I have an acute case of Post Islamic Stress Trauma with Apologetic Whitehouse Fatigue (PIST-AWF).

Packers 0-3 since Mike Ditka wore Green Bay sweater in commercial Jeff Dickerson, ESPN Staff Writer LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- At first, Chicago Bears fans were wondering why Mike Ditka would wear a Green Bay Packers sweater in a McDonald's commercial, but now Packers fans must be wondering if there's a jinx associated with the advertisement, as Green Bay is 0-3 since the spot first ran.

In an effort to repair relations with France, Secretary of State John Kerry brought musician James Taylor to sing an acoustic version of “You’ve Got A Friend” for the people of that country after the Charlie Hebdo attack. What will he do now?

As it's almost time for "The Five" to air, and Juan is seated at the table, anyone want to guess what he will say about the Paris Attacks? For the last seven years we have had to put up so much BS coming from Juan as he has been trying to blame Bush and the GOP for all of Obama's screw-ups. So what will he have to say tonight? {well, thats if he is on the show}, but whether or not, who would Juan blame on the Paris Attack?

It is physically impossible for me to love a story with that headline any more than I already do. Via The Smoking Gun, Natasha West was a customer at an Oak Lawn, Illinois Denny’s just looking for some pancakes. Specifically, all of the pancakes, as she had ordered the $4 all-you-can-eat pancake special. When West was informed, however, that a singular order of the special only applied to her and that her entire party could not partake of her limitless flapjack bounty, police say she reacted poorly. West is alleged to have begun cursing and throwing punches at her server...

In May 2014, NRA staffers secretly tested the Armatix iP1, the so-called "smart gun" that at the time was causing a furor among both media and gun owners nationwide. What we found was disappointing at best, and alarming at worst. NRA sent a team of firearm experts to an undisclosed range (at the request of our hosts) to do real-world tests of the iP1. To our knowledge, NRA is the only organization that has actually conducted real-world tests of the iP1 under range conditions. Guns & Gear Editor and team member Frank Winn penned a review of the iP1 for...
