Dear friends who thought I would stop ranting about Valentine’s Day once I was in a relationship, I’m sorry you were mistaken. I know I’m not the only person that rants about V-Day (coupled or otherwise). My new favorite Tumblr account, Occupy Valentine’s Day, proves it.

A federal appeals court knocked down California’s Prop 8. President Obama backed off on a rule that would require religious organizations to provide their employees with health insurance covering birth control. The violence in Syria is getting worse and worse. Scientists say don’t drive stoned. In an attempt to save their troubled economy, Greek Parliament passed a number of spending cuts on Sunday, leading to mass protests in Athens.

This morning news broke that our very own president, Barack Obama, posted a campaign-themed Spotify playlist on his Facebook page. If he actually picked out these songs himself and didn’t have one of his many staff members do it for him (which is what I am going to choose to believe), I will definitely add some points to my personal Obama approval rating. C’mon, he’s got “I Love You I Do” from the Dreamgirls soundtrack on there. YES! YES, BARACK! YES!

Proposition 8 was overturned, and now we have to see that lesbian comedienne Ellen Degeneres as the new face of JCPenney? Where on EARTH will I shop now? Ladies, we’ve got to do something about this. Let’s protest that crazy talk show host so that her homosexuality doesn’t taint all our kids’ back-to-school clothes and our Christmas shopping.

You may think the current political election, Prop 8 or Josh Hamilton may be important, but they pale in comparison to the dead whale shark. He is way better than them, and he is way better than you.

Great news out of California this week! Proposition 8, the voter-approved ban on same sex marriage in California, was ruled unconstitutional by a federal appeals court on Tuesday.

It’s a common comment made in romantic comedies. The longer you are in a relationship, the less you have sex. Turns out, according to a new study by researches at the University of Guelph in Ontario, women’s decreasing sex drive is to blame. Yes, over time women lose interest in having sex. Men, on the other hand, don’t.

Madonna’s Super Bowl half time performance received split reactions from viewers, and the CollegeCandy office was divided down the middle with lovers and haters. The result? We let one of editors and one of our writers go head to head for an all out battle on the matter. Was Madonna’s performance hot or not? You decide!
