Please Don’t Tickle Me, Elmo — Or: What’s the Muppet Age of Consent?

The punch lines write themselves — “WHAT DID BIG BIRD KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?” — but of course, this isn’t a joke: The man who voices the puppet of Elmo on Sesame Street has taken leave amid allegations he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy. Kevin Clash, 52, has taken […]

Bizarre Drama Surrounds Teenage ‘Modern Family’ Starlet Ariel Winter

If you’re like me, your TV viewing is limited almost entirely to news, more news, documentaries and old movies, which means you don’t watch network primetime shows, and therefore have never heard of Ariel Winter. She is a 14-year-old actress who stars in the ABC comedy Modern Family, which is one of the network’s most popular shows, with […]

The Other Woman’s Jealousy of the Central Command Liaison Brought About the Downfall of CIA Director Petraeus

The resemblance between the Obama administration’s national security policy and a soap opera is purely coincidental: The FBI was investigating harassing emails sent by Petraeus biographer and girlfriend Paula Broadwell to a second woman.

The Slut Paula Broadwell

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way, eh? Aren’t feminists who embrace the “slut” label (e.g., “Slutwalk“) all about empowerment and liberation?

BOB MENENDEZ AND HOOKERS?

Dominican hookers, to be specific. This is what we’re hearing about the sex scandal involving a “powerful senator” in a headline being touted by Drudge, with a story by the Daily Caller promised late tonight. UPDATE: Shortly after the Drudge Report headline went up, my associate Ali Akbar got a tip that the story involved Sen. […]

The Libya Question: What Did Obama Know and When Did He Know It?

We seem to be looking at a classic Washington cover-up scandal: The State Department is now telling a new story about the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11. It’s completely different than what we heard from President Obama and other officials in the days after the terrorist attack. It’s amazing the […]
