‘Arab Spring’ Update: Foreign News the Media Doesn’t Want to Ask Obama About

Kirsten Powers points out what was so obviously missing from Sunday’s 60 Minutes softball interview: Now, I’m sorry, is anyone paying attention to what’s going on in North Africa?

Iranian Space Monkey Jokes

I bet that space monkey was happy to get the hell out of Iran — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) January 28, 2013 Of course, the news that Iran has launched a monkey into space is no laughing matter.
