House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) showed an inspirational clip from a movie at a closed-door Republican meeting Tuesday. It wasn’t from Rudy, nor was it the snow-jogging montage from Rocky IV. It was from The Town, about Ben Affleck trying to rob a bank or something. Apparently Blockbuster didn’t…

Perhaps when Dwyane Wade and LeBron James agreed to take a pay cut to work together, they figured they’d more than make up for that salary loss in endorsements. Maybe not according to a new list of the NBA’s most marketable players. Both have plummeted out of the top ten…

When Alan Grayson, a hot liberal mess of a congressman, was defeated last fall, we thought it would be a long time before Florida saw a politician quite as loud and un-apologetically boisterous. Of course, that was the same night Floridians in a different district elected Allen West. Alan and…
You’d think hiring freeze is a pretty cut-and-dried concept. In the private sector, at least, it means you’re doing twice the work because your company can’t afford any new faces; if you’re unemployed, it means no one short of the organ donation factory will offer you a contract.In the City…
