The occasional visit to Wingnuttia can make one want to throw up, but unlike peeks at idiotic sites like Little Green Footballs, Free Republic or checking up on Sean Hannity, a trip to the new Conservapedia actually offers a dose of comic relief!

The Hollywood Reporter says that the Fox News Channel might air episodes of a "Daily Show"-like program that lampoons liberals and could become a regular Sunday night feature.

Yeah, that'll work. Remember Dennis Miller? He used to be funny, then drank the Kool Aid after 9/11 and turned into a bitter, conservative hack.

Disney/ABC's decision to telecast "Path to 9/11" prompted consideration of what could done to derail this travesty.

Nothing, it appears.

Here's my respectful e-mail sent this morning to Scholastic officials. Read More

The Naperville Sun, the daily newspaper for this affluent Chicago suburb, had a unique perspective on Monday's immigrant marches in Chicago and other cities around the nation.

In bold capital letters, the lead headline on Tuesday's front page read: "THE DAY THE LAWN WASN'T MOWED"

Unfortunately there's no PDF view of the Sun's front page, but you can check the website for yourself.
