Russians dealt a blow to Vladimir Putin, the longtime president, in elections last week. After years of unquestionable power in Russia, Putin’s glory is finally beginning to decline. His United Russia’s Party in Parliament lost it’s grasp on the legislature, losing it’s majority of 67% to less than 50%. Without his party in power, Putin won’t be able to get things done the way he used to. And when he runs for reelection in March, he’ll face a steeper uphill battle. Some think this is the beginning of a ‘Russian Spring,’ with young people uprising against the government the way they did in the Middle East earlier this year. Putin must think so too, because he ordered students to school on a Saturday to prevent them from gathering. School on a Saturday? Oh helll nooo. Not the way to win students’ approval…

A gunman shot and killed a Virginia Tech university police officer on Thursday, then turned the gun on himself. The event happened only four years after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, when 33 people were killed by a disturbed student. The school immediately went on lockdown when the murdered officer Deriek Crouse was discovered. Authorities issued the all-clear four hours later when they found the shooter dead in a nearby parking lot, apparently by his own hand. Read More »

Another woman accused Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment in the 1990s. Cain was working as a Washington lobbyist heading the National Restaurant Association at the time. Three of his former female coworkers claim that he acted extremely inappropriately towards them, inviting them back to his apartment, commenting on their appearance, and making overtly sexual gestures. Of course, many are doubting the validity of these claims- the women have yet to come forward and identify themselves. When the news first broke at the beginning of the week, many thought Cain, the frontrunner at the time, was dunzo. Surprisingly, Cain’s lead has actually grown this week. He’s raised an additional $1.2 million in campaign funds and has strengthened poll numbers.

Dippin’ Dots has some serious money problems. ‘The Ice Cream of the Future’?? Not so much. On Thursday, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in attempt to avoid foreclosure. With $11 million in loans, there are serious doubts whether the brand can save itself. I remember the first time I had Dippin’ Dots…my life was never the same again. Well, no, not really…but I really will miss those teensy tinesy pearls of frozen ice cream if the company can’t pull itself together. Where would malls and amusement parks be without them?

Everywhere you go people are talking politics.

Who ya gonna vote for?

What is his stance on foreign policy?

Will there be a debate?

Is he qualified?

Can we survive 4 more years with Repubs running this country?

Can the Dems handle this crisis?!

It is time to stop with the party bickering and focus on bringing the government and this country back together. It is time to unify. And nothing unifies people more than good looking men.

So, since you’re gonna be exposed to all these government dudes anyways (they are deciding our financial future as we speak, and are all over the news), you might as well look at the hotties.

(Editor’s Note: We attempted to find some seriously good looking guys in Congress, but that proved difficult. Seriously…most of them are so old.  We’re bringing you the best of the bunch. You know, guys we wouldn’t drool over on a normal day…but they have power! And they wear suits!)

These dudes make me want to move to Capital Hill. Some even may make me consider switching parties not totally hating the other party. Click on each picture to get the full story. Read More »

Apparently the Teen Choice Awards were on last night, or something? Yeah, we didn’t know either. But here are some people dressed up for it.

This is what $14 Million looks like. (Funny, I thought there would be more gold….)

Is my iPhone really killing me?

Thank God for CollegeCandy, especially now that our favorite magazine is folding.

People say my standards are too high, but would do date this man?

Sleeping in until noon is not bad; it makes you smarter!

Paris Hilton’s mama fights back against John McCain. Looks like the Repubs lost a little financing, eh?

Sexual harrassment is A-OK. In fact, it is necessary for the future of our species. Duh.

Please, Tyra. PLEASE. Don’t ruin this election for the rest of us.

Are you a nailbiter? Smoker? “Like” sayer? Quit that nasty habit overnight!

Don’t mess with Tracy Turnblatt. Fo real.

This past Wednesday, April 16th, Senators Clinton and Obama faced off for the twenty-sixth time.

Now I must admit– I have long since stopped caring about the debates and I am dangerously close to apathy with regards to the DNC.

Moreover, I am of the opinion that after the first few debates they become pointless and simply a chance for candidates to get free TV time.

A debate could be held where moderators ask questions and the studio uses old footage of the candidates answering because seriously guys—THERE IS NOTHING NEW TO ADD!

Take this last debate for instance: Read More »
