Is he triangulating because his aides let him know how disastrous it would be to still support the Iraq War at this point, or is he actually expressing an honest opinion now? Who knows! In the 2015 GOP Clown Car, not even the clowns know what they really believe: Jeb ...

Certainly, I can understand these concerns. When leaders within the current administration believe that major threats to the country include those who support the Constitution, are military veterans, or even 'cling to guns or religion,' patriotic Americans have reason to be concerned. We have seen people working in this ...

Some people who use Twitter had a very unpleasant surprise recently, when they saw "promoted tweets" (read: advertisements) appearing in their timeline espousing overt white supremacism.

@ChuckCJohnson's pitiful excuse for a news blog once again has flunked Journalism 101 by identifying the wrong woman as the wife of Nadir Soofi, one of the two gunmen shot dead in Garland, TX, Sunday. The woman identified by GotNewsDotCom's ace reporter Shannon Knutsen is in fact the wife of a ...

Daredevil #16, published in May 1966, featured one of those "mistaken identity" battles between Daredevil and yes, Spider-Man.
