As soon as the blood works its way back up to Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari’s brain, he’ll realize that he’s getting a bit of criticism back home for meeting Sarah Palin in New York and being one step away from asking her, “Are those space pants you’re wearing?

I saw this same finale at an elementary school production of Peter Pan, except the kid playing Tinkerbell was a bit more [...]

By the time 2012 rolls around, Olympic organizers are going to need back surgery from all the genuflecting. Here’s the poop: Olympic organizers issued detailed design rules for the 2012 London games Wednesday, including a mandate that at least some toilets in the Olympic park do not face the holy Islamic city of Mecca.

A brilliant move, or a stupid one? Hmm: Republican John McCain says he’s directing his staff to work with Barack Obama’s campaign and the debate commission to delay Friday’s debate because of the economic crisis. Many Republicans think this is a terrific strategy on the part of McCain, so he can appear a stronger leader, [...]
