It’s a big day in the GOP primary. Rick Perry, once perceived as a conservative savior has dropped out after one of the most hilariously horribly run candidacies of all time. Meanwhile, Rick Santorum has been revealed as the real winner of the Iowa Caucus. And yet, probably the juiciest…

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement spent $330 back in October on Jim Beam whiskey, mixers and some Doritos. Fifteen employees then proceeded to get drunk on company time. Sounds like the makings of an office party, no? Not so much. The ill advised plan was part of a makeshift study…
Miami-area congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has finally made her position on SOPA clear: she’s against it. Unlike Marco Rubio, who changed his position on SOPA’s Senate companion, PIPA, earlier today, Ros-Lehtinen had never been a co-sponsor of the bill…

You know, the type where you go to look up the director of whatever movie you’re absentmindedly watching on cable and then somehow, an hour later, end up reading about the indigenous bird species of Alabama. Because this morning, the Republican…
Steven Thomas thought he was about to hit a perverted hole in one when he presumed he was arranging a sexual encounter with a 13-year-old girl via her mother through the Internet. Instead he wound up in an online-sting sand trap. Thomas, a pro golfer who has played at several…
