  • Sen. Rand Paul
    US Government

    Rand Paul slapped back at Chris Christie's attack on libertarians in general and Paul in particular.

  • Glenn Greenwald challenges the NSA to deny Edward Snowden's snooping revelations under oath. Smackdown!
  • Anthony Weiner vows to remain in the New York City mayoral race. Larfs in abundance.
  • Syrian rebels are getting assistance from the West — western muslims volunteering for the cause.
  • The mother of a man police said shot himself in the back of an Arkansas police car is challenging their story in court.
  • The driver (read: engineer) of the derailed train in Spain has been charged with reckless homicide.
  • The Pope says he "won't judge" gay priests. Which is probably smart, personnel-retention-wise.
