Last week Jesse Jackson learned — the hard way — that if a Fox News camera is pointed at you and you’re wearing a microphone, whispering that you want to cut Barack Obama’s nuts out is no way to guarantee he won’t hear you.
At the time, Fox’s Bill O’Reilly claimed that there was more to the tape than just the quote that was aired during the network’s first ratings extravaganza. Today the other shoe dropped.
What Fox News omitted was a few seconds of the Rev. Jackson using — wait for it — The “N” word.

But the voters in working-class enclaves such as this still are a sought-after prize in presidential politics, and many are belatedly backing Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
In the Democratic primaries, working-class whites consistently supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Later po... more
Today is the last day of the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change in NYC, made up of over 200 scientists from around the world who believe that — to make a long story short — Al Gore is full of polar bear doodies.

Paris Hilton has been drawing new headlines by hiring a spiritual adviser to bring out her inner Buddha.
She went shopping in West Hollywood with her pet monk, and at one point she gave a $20,000 diamond necklace to a complete stranger after the guru told her it would be good for her spiritual health.
Right place, right time. Lucky stranger.
Of course, whether Paris knows it or not, the guy is a total fraud. Maxie Santillan is an actor who has appeared on My Name Is Earl and in the SpongeBob mo... more
