MENTONE, Alabama -- Hundreds of former customers of Mentone Springs Hotel and the White Elephant antique mall took to social media Saturday night and this morning to mourn the loss of both businesses, which were destroyed by fire.

You all knew this was coming someday. Now it's here. The fight in Congress will be immense.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel plans to shrink the United States...
That question could arise a whole lot sooner than you might expect. A movement has begun to unionize the football team at Northwestern University. If this thing gets off the ground it could become a front burner issue in college football pretty darn quick...
Foreign-based employees of Honda and Mercedes have now been arrested and hauled off to jail while legally in the state on business, leading to worldwide negative publicity in each instance. Our immigration law has been in effect only since September. How many more of these embarrassments are we...
File this one under "useful information." The New England Journal of Medicine has published a study this week which definitively establishes that armadillos carry leprosy. And yes, it's the exact same strain of the disease which affects humans. Hope you haven't been eating any reptile roadkill...
In their Tuesday edition, the New York Times has published an editorial by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. In it, he calls for "international recognition of the State of Palestine on the 1967 border and that our state be admitted as a full member of the United Nations."...
I have created a separate thread from the other Libyan topics because many may be unaware of just how swiftly the tide has turned in the past few days. In order to fully understand the scale of the rebel's military gains refer to the gif below provided by the BBC. All information in this post is...
Yes, this thread is what you think it is. The reaction of the feminist author on this link can be fairly described as one of delight. The full, 30-minute TV episode in question can also be viewed on the link. The political process is being bypassed and they're going directly to the kids.
Stir all ingredients vigorously in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the mixture to stand at least 12 hours in the fridge and preferrably a full 24 hours. Those hours of resting are critical to the success of the dish. Do NOT try to make this recipe at the last minute. It won't...
Notice what time I'm making this post. Out of sheer boredom I'm drinking a beer and flipping around to some late-nite BS tabloid show. After their bit about the latest Hollywood bimbo of the week they do a segment about Christine O'Donnell's appearance in some obscure 90's MTV show where she...
In a little-noticed turn of events on Monday, the Supreme Court allowed a San Francisco law to stand which requires employers to provide health insurance to their employees. The law had been previously upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and today the Supreme Court declined to hear the...
What an eye-popper! It's especially interesting to see that this poll reveals broad bipartisan opposition to the Supreme Court decision. The suggestion of such a massive majority is sure to mean that we'll soon see more polling in an attempt to verify the validity of this one. If these kinds of...
6-9 months ago I thought the Tea Party movement might be for real. I expected them to rise up with massive force and offer a broad range of "movement conservative" candidates throughout the nation for the races of 2010. We now have fewer than 11 months until election day and I must say that I'm...
