Last night @AdamSteinbaugh downloaded and posted to Scribd one of the strangest and most incoherent legal documents ever submitted to a federal court: Chuck C. Johnson and his lawyer John Burns' long-awaited (and several times postponed) reply to Gawker's legal team. (I suspect large parts of this were written by ...

YouTube I'm really enjoying John Oliver's deep dives into current events; he uncovers a lot of interesting facts and perspectives that you won't get anywhere else. For example, in this piece he totally busts Fox News using 5-year old footage to fear-monger against Syrian refugees -- and the rest of it ...

Katherine Welles / Shutterstock.com In a move that's been coming for a long time, the far right of the Republican Party has finally gone so bonkers that House Speaker John Boehner is going to resign instead of dealing with these crazies any more. Mr. Boehner, 65, from Ohio, had struggled from ...

That high-pitched whining sound you hear is the Republican Party: Dems Filibuster Iran Vote.

YouTube This is just brilliant, as John Oliver takes apart the televangelism industry and the conscienceless hucksters who shamelessly bilk gullible people out of their life savings.
