Cell phones are great! They always know what time it is. Sometimes they bring us sweet messages from our friends and more-than-friends. And if they’re smart enough, they can even give us directions to the nearest teriyaki joint.
Yep, cell phones are pretty rad. So rad that researchers…

Pat Kiernan
We could do far, far worse.
Do worse?? Pat is Mr. Droll, crush material, and BTW deliverer of some of the best put-downs on the morning news. Being under the radar is his energy shield. Long may he reign on NY1.

It’s like there was a time where all reporters and editors and producers put down their pens and pads and typewriters and film cameras and video cameras and microphones and tape recorders and went to sleep or something. Yes I know we’re talking mainly about CNN and Fox (well not really Fox) and…

I’m just gonna go ahead and say that if this was chick doing this I would 100% call this lesbian porn.
GOTdamn.
Holy fucking shit.
What lesbian porn? Move over girls, Ms. Heartburn’s found her dream man.

but please note that the Times reported the Obamas’ effective tax rate on their adjusted gross income ($789,674), which works out to 20.5% — while the Wall Street Journal I guess used their unadjusted gross income ($845,000) to get an effective tax rate of 19%.
Which puts it closer to the Romneys’ effective tax rate of 14% on their 2010 income.

After a week that included 32 posts, 83,000 shares on…

A team of reporters from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists examined the Spanish fishing industry’s political influence, global reach and criminal record. The stories reveal an industry more subsidized by taxpayers than any other in the European Union, even as it has racked...
