  • In case you weren't sure, the world has not ended.

  • But unless we put armed guards in every single school in America, the NRA thinks the world just might end.
  • As had been widely speculated, President Barack Obama has named Sen. John Kerry to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
  • The part that requires the government to get probable-cause warrants to access private emails has been stripped from federal privacy legislation.
