President Obama gave his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday. The speech allows a president to stand before Congress and ask both political parties to work together for the good of the country. It's the biggest laugh he gets all year.
President Obama's State of the Union speech aired opposite the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on USA. The advertising rates were huge. It was brilliant thinking by the network executives to provide something to keep Republicans in front of the TV all evening.
The Los Angeles Police were called modern-day slave owners by civil rights activists Tuesday. They were defending fugitive cop killer Chris Dornan. He's such a hero to the left that Barack Obama tried to get him to sit next to Michelle during the State of the Union Address.
The U.S. Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden told Esquire he is retired from active duty and in need of a job. He has to spend all his money on security. The administration published his home address in the Muslim Gazette just to make a point about gun control.
San Francisco is set to host the America's Cup yacht races this summer. The city was an odd choice. To show that they don't let the one percent have the free run of the place, San Francisco is going to insist that each yacht carry along a homeless person as an anchor.
The New York Post reports O.J. Simpson held a Super Bowl watch party in his Nevada prison cell last week. Isn't that just like the guy. O.J. Simpson always loved entertaining people at his house and now he doesn't have the expense of having to tune the grand piano.
North Korea successfully set off an underground nuclear blast on Monday, alarming the neighboring South Koreans. They're totally out of luck. The last thing the Obama administration is going to do is support the South during Black History Month.
The U.N. Security Council voted to condemn North Korea's underground nuclear test Monday. The blast threatens the balance of power in Asia. North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un announced the nuclear test on television Monday and he was radiating confidence.
President Obama's speechwriter resigned to pursue a career as a comedy screenwriter in Los Angeles. He helped to write the stimulus bill and the ObamaCare bill, and he coined the phrase shovel-ready projects. Once you get addicted to getting laughs it's hard to give it up.
