Getting these guys together has been an absolute riot. More!

As news spread across the world of Iran’s provocative missile tests, so did an image of four missiles heading skyward in unison. Unfortunately, it appeared to contain one too many missiles

And the media gets had. Again.

It's no longer simply a style concern for porn stars; it seems that everyone now – guy or gal – is giving at least some thought to pubic hair care.

Yep, fair and balanced. Reasons for and against pubic hair. Welcome to Fox Porn, I mean News. I mean...

In this chilling BBC clip, a newsteam ventures to one of LA's new shantytowns made up of people who've lost their homes in the subprime meltdown and now live in tents, improvised shacks or RVs on abandoned land. It's the contemporary Hooverville...

Nearly 80 years later and we're moving right back to the same disaster we were looking at then. There are differences. We don't yet have the midwestern drought that destroyed agriculture for years, we have a southern one where Atlanta is in danger of turning into Las Vegas, and may get that midwestern one, but no one is sure. We don't have brokers jumping from the ledges is New York, many of those buildings were torn down and replaced with buildings that don't have ledges, or windows that open. We don't have 25% unemployment, we don't know what it actually is because the "new unemployment" doesn't count people who, after months of trying, gave up searching for work.

When the BBC is showing us the new Hoovervilles but our own media isn't. When they're also talking about the possibility that we're looking at 1929, but our media isn't. When CNNI is showing the real on the ground cost of the Iraq war across the world, but not here. Our government and our media is giving us a bill of goods.

Apparently that meant repeating the falsehood with added detail: the "fact" that I had been on a conference call the previous day with the Hillary high command. Again, false. My worry is that if this is what one of Fox's best and most respected reporters is doing, what are the hacks up to?

Way to go FOX News! Keep hitting that story and maybe it'll be true! Sort of like the surge is working (if at best a 50/50 shot is working) or Alberto Gonzales is great (at what? Canasta?).

(Sorry about actually linking to those idiots with the Gonzo bit, but lets get real, when Arlen Spector [R-PA] said Gonzo was "no doubt, bad for the Justice Department." ON FOX, that pretty much cashed the deal in.)

The editor explains that her decision to not use the girl's essay was an editorial judgment call. Gerry Avant says, “I was looking for something by LDS because by tradition our contributors have been LDS.” She apologizes for the miscommunication and goes on to say, “I have spent 35 years of trying to portray people in the best light the best possible way and certainly would not have gone intentionally to cause offense.”

Well way to promote Mormonism then! Slam the door on a 12 year old girl who wrote the essay you wanted to use, but won't because she's not a Mormon. I'd always thought eliminating one letter to turn a Mormon into a moron was fun with spelling, not a demonstration of reality.

On Tuesday's* edition of the morning show Money for Breakfast, co-host Peter Barnes interviewed astrologer Constance Stellas about the upcoming Federal Reserve Board meeting. Displaying charts she had drawn up for the meeting and for Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, she predicted a half-point rate cut.

I see Faux Bidness is upholding the same journalistic standards as Faux News.

Former publisher Judith Regan filed a $100-million defamation lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and other defendants Tuesday, alleging she was asked by company officials to lie to federal investigators in order to protect Rudolph W. Giuliani's presidential bid.

Well that wasn't something I expected. Not surprised by it, but didn't see it coming.

"We absolutely can't afford not to be brilliant on Google News. I think Google is hugely dangerous.

"Its move into DNA is a massive threat. I wonder whether we will all start feeling that they are behaving a little bit too much like big brother," she said.

"The number one topic of conversation at News Corp is Google."

I think the key notation there is "News Corp." That would be Rupert Murdoch and Fox. I also think it juxtaposes nicely with MSNBC's move to the left as a counterpoint to Fox. This promises to be very interesting, and potentially devastating to Murdoch due to his position as a print monster (London Times, NY Post, WSJ, etc.).

Not only did Google honor an achievement by a totalitarian regime that was our Cold War enemy, they griped, but it did so without having ever altered its logo to commemorate U.S. military personnel on Memorial Day or Veterans Day.

"It's a kick to your belly," said conservative blogger Giovanni Gallucci, 39, a social media consultant from Dallas. "I understand these guys are scientists and engineers and they have their quirks and want to make sure people are recognized who might not normally be recognized . . . but why not celebrate the struggles that we've come through as a people?"

Conservatives see the Sputnik logo as particularly galling because the search giant's in-house artist has tweaked the Google logo for a variety of obscure events, including World Water Day, Persian New Year, painter Edvard Munch's birthday and China's Dragon Boat Festival.

Oh boo hoo you whining maggots. They want to play with shit, and the stuff they play with is stuff they can have fun with or stuff they consider cool. Maybe they could do the bit like the Mount Suribachi thing with the logo but never thought of it. The Sputnik 50th anniversary is something that screams attention and they figured out a fun way to do it. If conservatives don't like it, they should build their own Google to do crap like this with, and then watch it go right down the tank just like The 1/2 Hour News Hour.
