Bill O’Reilly went after “Law & Order” franchise creator Dick Wolf on Thursday night’s “O’Reilly Factor” telecast, calling the producer a “despicable human being” whose veteran TV drama is “out of control.” In all fairness, O’Reilly isn’t mad that they called him a name, but rather, that the best show he could get to mention him is “Law & Order.”

This face will now appear on t-shirts nation wide.

Pope Benedict XVI is deeply disturbed by a child sex-abuse scandal in Ireland and will write a letter to Catholics there on the church’s response to a report that found the church shielded more than 100 child-abusing priests from the law, the Vatican said Friday.

These are not the droids you’re looking for…and by droids, I mean priests that molested little boys.
James Cameron’s big-budget alien movie Avatar opened in London today to positive reviews. Of course, reviewers may have responded on a personal level to the film, because anyone in Britain right now might be an alien.

“Pregnant women who smoke are more likely to have unicorn babies.”
The average American consumes about 34 gigabytes of data and information each day — an increase of about 350 percent over nearly three decades — according to a report published Wednesday by researchers at the University of California at San Diego.

AOL is becoming an independent Internet company again. With the company’s spinoff from Time Warner Inc. complete, AOL’s stock is set to officially begin trading Thursday.

AOL users aren’t going to get this joke because the picture will take 3 hours to load.

Gatorade confirmed Tuesday it is discontinuing its Tiger Woods drink but says it made the decision before the golfer’s car accident led to a media firestorm surrounding his personal life.

The “G” stands for “God damn it, I got caught.”
A list of 20 veteran New York defense attorneys has been assembled to narrow down the choice of lawyer for accused 9/11 terrorist Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Why don’t they get one of those court-appointed lawyers from Houston who fall asleep during murder trials? This case seems like a natural next step for Johnnie Cochran.

I shouldn’t’a drank that.
