Harry Reid's bribes pay off in 60-39 vote, Senate...
From The Hill:
The Senate approved sweeping healthcare reform legislation by the narrowest of partisan margins early Christmas Eve morning, placing President Barack Obama closer than ever to signing a longtime Democratic priority into law. The 60 to 39 tally split directly along partisan lines, underscoring not only the great divide between Democrats and Republicans but also the deftness with...

Obama's 47 Percent Approval Lowest of Any... →

Hollywood's depressing movies are, you guessed it,...
Newsweek never fails to deliver some great humor:
You can blame Hollywood’s doom and gloom on the Oscars, but I’m not going to. Instead, I think it’s George W. Bush’s fault. Most liberal directors felt restless under his presidency, and they pushed the envelope with over-the-top, operatic tragedies.
