It appears that the question of whether the federal government is going to bail out the state of California has been rendered moot. Two large banks have announced that they...

It's 1994. The GOP promised to dismantle social programs, cut taxes and balance the budget. Newt Gingrich massaged the message, and the "Me Generation" bought it hook, line and sinker. This was the new GOP, and they had made...

I speculated recently that the worm may be turning as it relates to the Obama administration's political capital. The near Teflon like protection that a fawning press afforded him is...

Unfortunately the family of Michael Jackson really failed to effectively invest or manage their money very well despite huge success, leaving the family mostly in serious financial straits. There were reports that Michael Jackson might have died with up to...

Another day, another Obama infomercial. President Barack Obama held a townhall style meeting today, one in which the audience was "hand-picked" by White House staffers. It was conveniently "moderated" by...

The president's apologists at The New York Times are putting the best possible spin on the administration's economic forecasting failures. That the Times is even writing about this subject indicates...

Unbelievably, the EU commissioners are now moving ahead with plans to impose a new 10% tax on mobility scooters imported into Europe, often manufactured in the United States. But some like physicist Stephen Hawking are angry as this will dramatically...

Wow, how long did it take those guys from Boston to figure out that shiny flashy lights in the shape of a mooninite does not = bomb?
I saw a news story that they sent in a bomb team to blow one up! too hilarious. People are mad at turner etc... and actually until today i didn't know that ATHF actually had a connection to turner! normally i would like to see people go after turner, but in this case, i think it's the people who over reacted to a cartoon character's fault.
Good job Boston. Add this one to your list of Clinton-esque over-reactions. (don't forget about their over reaction to Opie and Anthony's April fools joke 5? years back!)

Wow, shots at Clinton and Jane in three pithy paragraphs. On an unrelated topic. In 2007.

i have seen the show and i am a big fan of adult swim mostly because they show a lot of anime. i mostly thought that shows like the aqua teen hunger force was so stupid that people had to laugh. but nowadays, people are so afraid of any and everything that a harmless ad for a funny cartoon shuts down an entire city. i hate to say this, but score one for the terrorists. this type of paranoia is exactly what they want.

How are you taking it seriously, by causing "widespread panic and destruction." (reporter question at news conference with Sean Stevens and Peter Berdovsky)
"Level 3, beware the Gorgarton. He's in love. "
"Shoot em' in the head!"
"Head shot, rampage, killing spree!"
"You have mastered Moon Master, you are the Moon Master!"
"No f--king way!"
"Yes way Err."
(Aqua Teen Hunger Force -- Moon Master)
I always knew that Err was a terrorist. As soon as all those Bostonians saw him flipping them off, they immediately came to the same realization.
Wait till they get a load of Balloonenstein. :-)
Once again George W. Bush has saved us all from the evils of 80s era video game characters. Thank heaven for God Emperor Bush and the paranoia he has brought to this great country.
