The Pew Internet and American Life Project performed a study that says Americans use the internet for more information beyond the sound bite. (AP)NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Bush contemplates writing his memoir. Let it remain a "contemplation" so "history" can write that story. What land do I live? That history is already written. Hopefully! ARGHHHHHH!Obama tells black fathers to engage their children.The most important story the AP has EVER written about Obama.Congress passed the Help America Vote Act in 2002 so that the disastrous 2000 election would never happen again.

Oldest Church Discovery; "Ridiculous," Critics Say. (NG)I don't give a fuck what "top blogs" (Think former Republicans who like cock. Clichéd I know. ) say about this season of Battlestar Galactica.
