Growing tomatoes has replaced throwing tomatoes as a form of protest; millions of Americans are looking to opt out of our toxic food chain by trying to grow some of their own food this year.
While there's no doubt that reality TV has created greater acceptance for true stories, there's also a flip side. The influence of reality TV has made doc film-making too cautious and literal.
Letterman's joke about Palin's daughter wasn't the first time a comedian has been accused of telling a joke that could be blamed for the possibility of instigating a criminal act.
Sarah, how creepy is it that NOW is jumping on your bandwagon? Trying to be friends with the alpha popular princess by sweeping abortion, pay parity, stem cell research under the rug!
Hey, you might recall Stephen Colbert's challenge, regarding the use of DonorsChoose.org to support classrooms and teachers who t...
Whereas President Barack Obama ordered that Stephen Colbert be given a shaved head on his visit to Iraq, the Treasury Department ordered that President Thomas Jefferson's image on the nickel be given a haircut.
When two American journalists are sent to prison in a foreign country, shouldn't the news organization at least support them and assuage public outrage by acknowledging and covering the situation on its own site?
Last night Seth Myers hosted the 13th Annual Webby Awards at the Wall Street Cipriani, a location that symbolized one more example of how new media is...
Coming Soon: Martha Stewart and her crack team of home design experts show the troops how to redo their barracks with lighter, pastel shades for summer in Iraq.
It's been a tough week for Oprah. First a terrific Newsweek cover underscored her penchant to legitimize wacky medical claims on her show. Now June 22 Forbes dethrones her as the "most powerful celebrity."
One thing is clear: President Obama's choice of a Latina woman has sparked the ugliest reaction from the Republican Right we've seen years.
Hey, the Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America helps vets on one level, but a number of small groups focus on other needs not addressed by anyone...
Comedy's most serious satirist dropped yet another hint that he's heading "somewhere in the Persian Gulf" soon. I was lucky enough to talk with him about it.
Stephen Colbert generously donated his birthday (May 13th!) to DonorsChoose.org and created a video about it.
DonorsChoose.org is a great example of how we all use the Net to help each other out, by pooling a few dollars to give people a break. It's like microfinance applied to classroom projects.
As a Canadian I want to apologize to all my American friends on Huffington Post about what our policies up North are doing to the cute little chickade...
Sheriff Joe, who is famous for his reality show, tent-based jails, and large contingent of immigration enforcement officers, says he never intended to appear before McCain and other senators at Monday's hearing.
It is amazing to see how Middle East conflict obeys the rules of comedy: It's a story of a Jew, a Christian and a Muslim that are fighting in a very clumsy way (classic slapstick) and roasting one another (sometimes literally).

Well I am against using the US flag as underwear.
If any anti-American was shown wiping his butt with the Flag, sure enough there would be an outcry.
But wearing a flag to cover your butt subjects it to all the stuff which dirties our underwear.
IMHO this is a gross desecration of the flag which is somehow felt to be patriotic
For those saying that the American flag should not be worn as a bikini, I tend to agree (while I drool), but I am glad that we have the freedom for someone to do so. This is what our flag represents, our freedom as Americans. If someone's "display" of our flag is not tasteful, or even downright offensive (like burning), I am at least glad that person has the freedom to express themselves. Even if I disagree.

True, it made my pole stand up!
I would gladly hoist her from my flagpole anytime.
