South England has been experiencing a heat wave in the last few days, bringing a lot of sun and humidity, much to the joy of the locals. Nobody enjoyed the beautiful weather more than this dog who just so happened to be having a nice relaxing stroll on a beach when he entered the shot […]
Owls or foxes usually come to mind when we think of clever animals. But they’ve had a monopoly on the smartypants symbolism for too long. We’re selling our own family pets short, since they are masterminds of their domestic domain. Think back on the times you came home to find your pet reaching for the […]

A CNN/ORC poll released last month moved Winsconsin from “lean Obama” to “toss-up,” so why has it taken so long for the president to respond? Well, there has been a lot […]
http://twitter.com/#!/jeffemanuel/status/251306749670354944 Unless this is atrociously bad satire from the Roger Simon school of failed humor, ESPN reporter John Clayton actually humiliated himself by giving President Obama props for inspiring the NFL to reach an agreement with the NFL Referees Association.

Man was protesting something regarding assault weapons and abortion, didn’t get a good look. — Luke Russert (@LukeRussert) January 15, 2013 What sparked the pitiful screeching?

In his honor, and to protect our republic, Americans implore today’s elected leaders to exercise virtuous truth and integrity in office. … Liberals just changed 230 years of enduring Senate rules by enacting the “Nuclear Option” that will now let […]

http://twitter.com/#!/pbsgwen/status/240879685410627584 Erstwhile Yahoo bureau chief David Chalian got himself spectacularly canned today after being caught shamefully accusing Mitt and Ann Romney of being “happy to have a party while black people drown.” Common sense dictates that Chalian be held up as a pathetic excuse for a journalist.

“But all is not chocolates and roses in the world of animal courtship.” Looking for a unique Valentine’s gift? Why not take some inspiration from the animal kingdom’s weird and wonderful mating rituals. “Gift-giving is not unique to humans.
