Shocker: Sarah Palin’s Teenage Daughters Act Like Teenage Girls on Facebook

Which is incredibly significant, according to a lot of people who would never vote for Sarah Palin under any circumstance whatever: During the premiere of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” Sunday night — a boy named Tre who went to school with the Palin kids wrote a status update that read, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska, is failing so […]

Neil Young, Arsonist

The World’s Worst Singer was responsible for a fire that caused more than $1 million damage, including the destruction of his musical equipment. Heard Mr. Young sing about it. Then ol’ Neil burned it down. Neil Young causes hatred of Canada in pretty much the same way al-Qaeda causes Islamophobia.

Charlie Rangel: Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!

Even his fellow Democrats can’t deny he’s a crook. Isn’t it amazing that a guy who’s been in Congress since 1971 — and indeed was chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee — still manages to claim victimhood? “How can anyone have confidence in the decision of the ethics subcommittee when I was […]

Behind-the-Scenes Video: Fox News Colleagues Mocking Sarah Palin
