Now Fox Nation thinks Obama's building a bunker .

Jaguars fire Jack Del Rio.

Quoth the Raven : Ravens use their beaks and wings much like humans rely on our hands to make gestures, such as for pointing to an object, scientists now find. This is the first time researchers have seen gestures used in this way in the wild by animals other than primates. From the age of 9 to 12 months, human infants often use gestures to direct the attention of adults to objects, or to hold up items so that others can take them. These gestures, produced before children speak their first words, are seen as milestones in the development of human speech .

Happy 40th, Christina Applegate !

That's certainly one way to collect child support. Gumby's apparently hit some hard times . Blame it on the staff . Who'd thought Beyonce would be old enough to give advice ? Barney Frank to call it quits . Warner to Tebow : live, don't talk, the testimony. Chick-fil-A is being petty . All eyes on Europe .

3rd-graders shouldn't be that big . People aren't supposed to run other people over intentionally . Tim Tebow isn't supposed to be winning games . Oil isn't supposed to go up while people are trying to shop. Wyclef shouldn't be misusing Haitian relief funds .

" Pepper spray soon to be declared a vegetable ." Black Friday myths . The black best friend maybe a new TV trope as well. Well, what did he expect ? When watching your channel makes people even more misinformed , you should not continue to call what you do "news." HA ! A meme is born ; know it well . Some reasons Google is cool .

As Daily Kos and TPM show, Herman Cain's downfall is pretty much complete.

This is awesome .

Doesn't mean he should get his face on Mt. Rushmore, but it's something positive .

Another day, another Will and Jada rumor . The "failure" is shared by all, Senator Kerry; but yeah , they hold the bulk of it. Admitting it is the first step . Rage against the political machine .

This is too rich to even describe; just read .

Making the most of being arrested , I guess. This is why I miss DU's "Top Ten Conservative Idiots" so much. I'm surprised Chris Sims didn't write this one .

...if OWS is a fad comprised of trust fund anti-capitalist hippies, than why are some Wall Street groups spying on them , and why are some cops monitoring the churches that are temporarily housing them ?

Either way: they're getting divorced .

Not all millionaires are greedy . This doesn't help the teacher's unions. Obama, Australia and China . "I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am. I will not live in fear of it ." Another day, another celebrity stalker .

Very brave . COVE CITY, N.C. (AP) — A 9-year-old North Carolina girl pinned in a wrecked car for almost two days ate Pop-Tarts and Gatorade to help her survive the single-car crash that killed her father, police and relatives said on Monday. Jordan Landon of Cove City was airlifted to a hospital Sunday night after rescue teams cut her out of the 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that had been upside down in a culvert since Friday night, the North Carolina Highway Patrol said. Killed was 39-year-old Douglas Landon, police said. Sgt. David Clifton called the girl "heroic" and that she was able to stay calm despite being trapped in the dark and cold. He says the girl was talkative and is expected to fully recover.

Quite possibly one of the few people who can blame the President for being unemployed , even if it had nothing to do with Obama's policies.

Another day, another roadblock to having an NBA season. And while I agree that the players are being unjustly painted as the villains here , I have selfish reasons for these guys getting back on the court: namely, D.C.'s nightlife is conductive to unnecessary drama . And seriously; Nick Young couldn't say, "Hey, this is my girlfriend?"

He's going against his party on an appointment vote .

He "second chance at love" is mirroring his "second chance at football."

Coach blames video game for team's loss. Get Well Soon, Erick Sermon . Shorter New York Cops: " Protest-time's over, guys ." ( Flag on the play !) The Supreme Court tackles health care . About time on of these "Real Housewives" became a wife .

Stay classy .

Gotta love comics .

"That's the dumbest thing I've ever read, and I've read All Star Batman and Robin." -- Sam Factotum , responding to Frank Miller's anti-OWS statement .

It says " Ex -porn star" people . And she was just reading . Don't be jealous because you weren't there. Scott Olsen speaks . Jets get thumped , but they're not through. R.I.P., Evelyn H. Lauder . Norwegian nutcase doesn't think he's guilty . The NBA is entering negotiation overtime. Soledad O'Brien, African-Americans, and technology . Not much Obama can do , considering the amount of American debt China owns. Apparently, there's a difference between "neo Nazi" and " neo Nazi terror cell " nowadays.

It doesn't look like he's helping .

Some interesting things about workers calling sick .

This type of scandal has happened in other sports as well .

This joker thinks he can actually challenge an intelligent, resourceful lawyer accustomed to "gotcha!" questions .

It's bigger than just the football coach and university president .

Fortunately, NewsOne has a list .

Now you know .

Remember when you could go to a party and not worry about getting stabbed ? I find it some historical humor in that Greece and Italy control our (financial) fate right now. Future post-humous Batman Villain . Another day, another Paula breakdown . Veterans need jobs too .

Now that we know the name of the Tyler Perry movie Kim Kardashian will be playing in , it makes the whole ordeal more delicious.

It's a shame that one of our smartest Senators is looked upon by some as just a comic who lucked into politics.

Haynesworth gets another job . Paterno and Spanier are out at Penn State ...but the investigation is ongoing . Where Italy goes ...

He was a doctor, then became a serial killer . That sounds so familiar .

The creator of the comic strip "Family Circus" was 89 .

Penn State's Joe Paterno plans on stepping down by the end of the season . The University president (who apparently has either more of a conscious or is getting more pressure) is leaving sooner .

Still no basketball . Iran is apparently next on the list . Mariah Carey goes back to her performer weight . Old woman catches big fish . An Oriole dodges a bullet that someone else didn't . That was close ...

The much-admired "Overweight Lover" was 44 .

..and that was letting Albert Haynesworth go before he totally sunk the team's defense. New England released their dead weight today . Of course, the guy did get some money before he left Washington, but that's the price to pay for getting rid of a potential locker room poison.

If you have a house, car, TV and/or VCR then apparently you should not complain about your financial hardships. Of course, without a job that can pay for that house and car -not to mention food and medical care- you'll probably lose all four, and that's not even getting into couples and families who have other expenses. Oh, yeah, and there's also the fact that the housing crisis -the one that many of the banks these guys are protesting were major players in- put a lot of people out of their homes.

... sterilize the voters . Shouldn't conservatives look at this as "pre-abortion?"

Me likely .

A mom had enough money to buy groceries, but because it was quarters , she was refused.

Python eats deer... whole . I really thought the " I'm carrying Justin Bieber's love child " story would have come sooner in his career. How many times are people going to be fooled by an Onion story ? Labor backs "Occupy Oakland." It's all Greek to me . Joe Corzine has some questions to answer . Selling the Dodgers .

Can't say I'm surprised .

If the American Right believes that OWS really have nothing to complain about and should just get a job, does that mean they should (1) acknowledge what the Obama Administration has done for the job market, and/or support (2) support Obama's push for turning unemployment around?

Just in case you were wondering .

Sad end for a young athlete. Some soldiers still have a problem with that "hearts and minds" thing. Lebanon and Syria point fingers . This was either steroid-induced, psychological, or someone's experiment gone awry.
