In order to blend in with the Alexandrians on The Walking Dead, Carol (Melissa McBride) has turned into Suzy Homemaker, busting out batches of chocolate chip cookies and pretending she isn't a total badass when it comes to guns. And guess what? Her cookies are so good they ended up saving her life, as she was able to convince a little boy not to tell his mother that he saw Carol sneak into the armory. Also, she threatened to feed him to "monsters." But COOKIES! AMC wisely decided to share the deliciousness that is Carol's life-saving cookies with the world,...

Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) Says No New Hampshirites Lost Their Policies Under ObamaCare

A notary in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo has sparked controversy by accepting a civil union between three people. Public Notary Claudia do Nascimento Domingues has said the man and two women should be entitled to family rights. She says there is nothing in law to prevent such an arrangement. But the move has angered some religious groups, while one lawyer described it as "absurd and totally illegal". The three individuals, who have declined to speak to the press, have lived in Rio de Janeiro together for three years and share bills and other expenses. Ms Domingues says they...

Animated musical look at the first 3 years of the Obama presidency with a Christmas-y twist.

(I cannot believe I found this.) "Now, Possum, possum,you better run. My daddy's in th' woods with his big shot gun....."

“Put nothing in writing, ever,” sounds like a command a veteran CIA official may give to an incoming class of new officers. One would not expect such a directive to issue from one of the President’s trusted advisors, especially from a White House that proudly proclaims itself to be the most transparent in history. But according to various media reports, that “cloak and dagger” tactic was Energy and Climate Change Czar Carol Browner’s underlying rule for auto industry executives involved with secret negotiations concerning the federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.

A mushrooming political battle over ObamaCare involving the White House, two incumbent Pennsylvania congressmen, three Catholic hospitals and a nun has just exploded in, of all places, Scranton, Pennsylvania. Charges from the Scranton medical community of intimidation by the Obama White House and its allies are filling the air. All of this just as Vice President Joe Biden arrives in Scranton today to raise money for one of the participants.

Millions of Americans enjoy caroling during the Christmas season. As it turns out, the people at the left-wing activist group MoveOn.org like caroling, too -- just not in the traditional way. On Christmas Eve, MoveOn sent out a video of the MoveOn Council in Minneapolis-St. Paul singing a hearty version of "Jingle Bells, with somewhat different words: Health care's out of reach The cost is way too high And if we cannot pay They'll simply let us die

Legend holds that the beloved carol was actually a tool to help children learn Christian teachings. Here's what I found in regard to the meaning of the 12 gifts for the 12 days of Christmas. When Oliver Cromwell came to power in England, Catholics were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Tradition holds that Catholic parents developed "The Twelve Days of Christmas" to teach children their beliefs.

You can't go wrong with a .45 caliber 1911 in a Charles Dickens play, right? Well? Note: The author of this comic requests that you visit his web site and please refrain from copying the cartoon within this thread. Thanks y'all!

'Tis the season — every year at this time — for the various renderings of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This year, the current animated version in the cinema — starring a computer-generated Jim Carrey in multiple roles — has won some plaudits for sticking with the spirit of the Dickens original. So it might come as some surprise to learn that when Dickens himself performed A Christmas Carol, he didn't do it as it's written. And during this holiday season, you can see the proof. In a small glass case at the New York Public Library, there sits...

Hazardous Caroling by: Deborah Lambert, December 15, 2008 First it was dodge ball, then it was tag. Now, a British shopping mall cancelled its annual children’s caroling event because it was deemed a health hazard, said The Daily Mail. The Brownies and Girl Guides, they explained, “could obstruct fire escape routes.” Mall management later admitted that because they had placed a 25-foot Christmas tree where the girls used to sing...

Other than the awful Blue Collar comedy crew, you don't see a whole lot of humor come from the political right. The tasteless, wrongheaded but consistently entertaining "An American Carol" is David Zucker's effort to show the satire sword can swing both ways. Never mind that the movie is about as politically relevant as Zucker's "Airplane!" Taking a reverse Colbert approach, Zucker attacks Michael Moore by exaggerating his political stances and exposing logical fallacies. Lead Kevin P. Farley, as rotund, ballcap-wearing documentarian Michael Malone, is a major reason the slipshod film is as entertaining as it is. The unheralded brother...

This time, conservatives in Tinseltown have collaborated to communicate their ideas, but they’re doing it in jocular way. The movie has a cast that includes veteran stars Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, James Woods, Dennis Hopper, Robert Davi, and Leslie Nielsen. With this kind of lineup, you’d expect some great performances. And there are, under the master comedy direction of Zucker. The plot loosely follows Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” with Kevin Farley playing the character of Michael Malone, a modern-day Scrooge who wants to abolish the July Fourth holiday. Paris Hilton, who happens to be a Sen. Barack Obama supporter,...
