Johnny Depp says it's always been his policy to take "from the rich," and thathe's been "taking from the rich... for 25 years." In fact, every morning... Johnny kipes $50,000 from his dresser drawer and shoves it down his pants.
Nearly eight months after Election Day, former comedian Al Franken is on the road to being certified as the next United States senator from Minnesota. That sound you may have just heard was Bill O'Reilly's brain exploding. That's why it wasn't a very loud sound. No brains; No loud explosions...
A violent coup in Honduras has the legitimate president now living in exile in Costa Rica. At least the President of Honduras has a better excuse for being in Costa Rica then the Governor of South Carolina had for being in Argentina.
