I hate Yahoo! News. I hate their headlines that are usually written with very confusing grammar. I hate that when 30 people die overseas the top story is usually about two celebs who accidentally wore the same dress to some sort of party.

But today the top 2 stories made me laugh. When I saw John McCain’s face I couldn’t tell if I was still reading the story about a fat pudgy animal or a senator from Arizona.

I’ve been thinking that same thing for a while: that it makes us look like pussies to be afraid to have the terrorist trials in our cities. And, wow, John Stewart is great, great, great in this interview. And Newt Gingrich is either a liar and/or uninformed.
