  • A host of former Democratic doves have learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.
  • Pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong are expected to have long-term ramifications for both the former British colony and for all of China.

  • Many Syrians along the Turkish border are abandoning everything to get as far away from ISIS as they can.
  • The FCC dropped its NFL-enabling sports blackout policy, so you just may be able to watch the damned game you want to see after all.
  • California has now banned plastic bags because…well, it's California.
