Finally, Nancy Pelosi's faux feminist veneer has fully cracked. The Democratic "shero" is, and always has been, a sham. But after Pelosi's incoherent babblefest on "Meet the Press" defending accused groper John Conyers and clown-cad Al Franken, the progressive left can no longer mask her partisan perv apologism. Pelosi milked her XX chromosomes for all their electoral worth. Her official biography brags about her role as "the most powerful woman in American politics" and her induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Over three decades on Capitol Hill, she has scooped up Ms. Magazine's Woman of the Year award,...

Freudensprungen! That, as the New York Times explains, happens to be the scientific term for jumping for joy, and a new study reveals that rats are among the animals that partake. The study, in fact, also shows that rats love to be tickled and that they burst out in the equivalent of rat laughter during the tickling.

Moonshiners TV star Steven Ray Tickle has been arrested for public intoxication while allegedly needing to be carried away to a city jail. The 35-year-old known by just his surname of Tickle was arrested last week after a citizen complained of a man seen sitting in a parking lot drinking from an open container.

Ever since its full scale assault on interrogation tactics such as waterboarding, the Obama Administration announced a while ago that it would form an elite interrogation unit for high value terrorists in captivity. This has left me wondering what type of person they would look for to be in the unit, and what the methods they would employ might be....

What do Barack Obama and Sen. Eric "Salty" Massa have in common? They have both tickled people... to disastrous results. During an interview on Indonesian television, we learned of the time Obama's tickling caused a friend to break his arm. According to Mediaite, Obama gave the interview to Indonesia's RCTI TV to make up for skipping out on a planned trip to Indonesia. The giggly interviewer's fawning would have even made America's Liberal Mainstream Media blush. (ZING.) Until 1:07, when the interviewer begins probing the darker parts of Obama's Indonesian childhood: "Do you remember breaking someone's arm?" We were hoping...

Is this a vanity? I dunno... I can barely SEE ANYTHING because my vision is blurred from all the tears... I haven't sneezed this much in MANY MANY YEARS... my chest hurts now :( Anyone else afflicted?

Sarcasm doesn't tickle children's funny bone January 24 2003 at 09:53AM Calgary - When parents use sarcasm to playfully tease their young children, do the kids see the humour? Not likely, according to a Canadian researcher who has completed a study showing that children need to be 10 or older before grasping the idea that sarcasm can be funny or even insulting. The results have implications for everything from the content of children's television programmes to the interpretation of abusive behaviour, Penny Pexman, a psychologist from the University of Calgary, said on Thursday. "Our study suggests that the five-year-olds are...
