We don't have cable TV, but even I know that Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino just came out with a new diet to help you get tight six-pack abs like his.

If Al Gore can't get Americans to care about climate, then who can? Actually, we think Gore did a pretty good job in An Inconvenient Truth. If he hadn't, Sean Hannity and his buddies at Fox wouldn't be attacking Gore about climate science all the time. But for the audience that's more likely to watch Hannity than Gore, the Pew Climate Security Project has launched a smart … [Read more...]
