Kelly: "Welcome to America Live everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. The president, following in the footsteps -- he says -- of Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, said he enjoys a breath of fresh air and a walk in the morning. Coming to discuss this via a live split-screen feed...

"This won't change anything," a friend Gchatted me as we separately waited for the Blagojevich verdict. "By Illinois standards, his biggest crime was being an idiot and getting caught."

The cynicism was a familiar refrain from my friend, a young man born with the optimism of a Union Army doctor...

From the desk of high school sophomore Donnie Trump:

After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue senior Chrissie Ferguson, head cheerleader and homecoming queen, as my date for prom.

This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential to be...

Reiterating many of the themes that won over voters in February, Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel spoke before a group of educators, politicians and business leaders Thursday night, pledging to fix Chicago’s ailing school system.

“There is nothing wrong with the Chicago school system that cannot be fixed by what’s right with...

Batman wasn't enough? Huh? You weren't happy having a British guy playing the Dark Knight?

No. You had to try for more.

Spider-Man was next on your little fictional-character Lebensraum. OK, watching Tobey Maguire's spider-powered dance routine in the last movie paved the way for pretty...

I was crowdsourcing the Long Tail while upping my Whuffie Factor through a Trust Agent when it hit me: Why the hell haven't I come up with a crazy-ass new media term?

I mean, it's a no-brainer for a burgeoning "Death of Newspapers Blogger" like...

The dead rising from their graves to consume the living and overrun the earth, like so many other new trend stories, first broke on Twitter.

In its entirety, the tweet that shook the world read "OMG ded guy just totes 8 my arm!!!" It won the first Pulitzer Prize...

In my last post, I briefly mentioned "picking feuds" as a skill necessary to being a successful "Death of Newspapers" blogger.

A good Rosenbaum v. Jarvis style feud can drive up hits and increase name recognition for both sides. Maybe we'll be paid to argue on TV.

Times are tough, my freelance work is drying up and I've recently come to the realization that any job where you can accidentally dye your thumb blue is not exactly career path.

That's why I've decided to become a "Death of Newspapers" blogger. I'll join the ranks of Jeff...
