Today marks the fourth anniversary of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami that crippled the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Nicole talks about it with the Green News Report's Desi Doyen. And Crooks & Liars' Susie Madrak makes her last weekly appearance on the show..
Another snark-filled guest post by the one, the only Will Durst: MESSAGE. MESSAGE. WHO’S GOT THE MESSAGE? Don’t look now, but the Democratic Party is undergoing an identity crisis of such monumental proportions, the Dissociative Identity Disorder people have called and are requesting artifacts for their Hall of Fame. Going to put Obama’s basketball hoop right next to Sally Field’s purple crayon. In the realm of improbabilities, it’s hard to beat… Democrats and their message.

Via NBC: The government had accused the McDonnells of doing special favors for Jonnie Williams, the former CEO of dietary [...]
I knew that headline would get your attention. Seriously, I've always loved Dick Van Dyke. When I was a kid, The Dick Van Dyke Show (with Mary Tyler Moore) was my absolute favorite. Well, I had a blast from the past today when I got an email from an old friend in Los Angeles who I hadn't heard from in quite a few years.
