The gang that couldn't shoot straight: Will the GOP's baffling "ignarrogance" be its undoing? From Kirk Swearingen: As with their reflexive climate-change denialism, Republicans would scoff at the idea they suffer from ignarrogance, something that all reasoning human beings must admit to.

The Smiths recall their bestselling product: the "unique union" that is Will and Jada's marriage From Melanie McFarland: Assuming that most people judged their marital status by the smiling red carpet photos of Jada posing at Will’s side at various industry events, this revelation was probably legitimately shocking.
