You know, if it's going to be as warm next week as they're predicting, I might just break out the grill. The first time is always the best every year, because you've almost forgotten what it tastes like. Now here's the news...


Happy International Women's Day, everyone.


Scott Brown has a Romney problem.

64% of Americans support collective bargaining rights for public employees. Another GOP loser.

Rick Santorum, spammer.


The next time some panicky grandma tells you Medicare is going broke, show them this and tell them to calm down.


Limbaugh's latest anti-woman target strikes back -- with humor.


The Senate rejects approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. Damn, we might actually be winning this thing.


Finally, Sen. Carl Levin -- chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee -- says he'd "love" to see Rush Limbaugh booted off the the Armed Forces Network. Damn, we might just win that one, too.

Bin Laden's dead. So, is it safe for us to have some of our rights back or is that too much to ask? Now here's the news...


Was some of the information that brought down Osama Bin Laden obtained through torture? A lot of people are making the case that it was, but there's really no evidence to back the claim up.


Consistent right up to the end, bin Laden shuffled off this mortal coil with a final act of cowardice. He also reportedly has a posthumous "death to America" tape in the pipe.


Joe Scarborough's a dick. Rick Santorum is an assclown. Bryan Fischer's just an idiot. Eric Cantor reminds us why he's been nicknamed "manager of the asshole store."


Crap. Does this mean I have to follow Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson's twitter feed now?


Were bin Laden and the Pakistani government in cahoots? The evidence -- circumstantial though it may be at this time -- is damning. On the other hand, the Pakistani Ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani, makes a fairly sound argument to the contrary. Count Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) among the unconvinced.


Finally, Raw Story collects "The 5 craziest conspiracy theories on bin Laden’s death." Make sure to watch the video, which is completely insane.
