Joe Biden and Paul Ryan weren't the only famous politicos to engage in a high-stakes debate this week. In Massachusetts, incumbent Senator Scott "Cosmopolitan" Brown and Elizabeth "BUT SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A CHEROKEE" Warren duked it out onstage. While the race could go either way at this point, Warren won the…
After a May poll had Scott Brown up two points over Elizabeth Warren in the Massachusetts Senate race, the latest exercise in guesstimation has Warren leading Brown 43 percent to 38 percent.

The dangers of driving drunk are well-known, but apparently technology has created a new one: overreliance on one's GPS. Earlier this week, a 47-year-old woman in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, got behind the wheel of her car after having a bit too much to drink, but instead of wreaking havoc on the road, she ended up…
Humans have been on this planet for so long that you'd think we'd have already come up with every possible combination of objects with which to hurt each other—and yet we continue to create new and ever more bizarre weapons.

Barney Frank, the most prominent gay politician in the US, has confirmed that he'll be marrying his longtime partner after he retires from public service at the end of his current term.

The unfortunate headline reads, Court: It's OK to ax mom. And the story behind it is even more unfortunate: A Massachusetts court has ruled that women who take more than eight weeks of maternity leave can be fired.
