Apparently, Billy Ray Cyrus didn't make enough money being a second rate country musician and TV star. If a guest appearance on "Diagnosis Murder" is the pinnacle of your career, you probably aren't rolling in dough. However, Billy Ray Cyrus does have a tremendous talent.

The controversy over The New Yorker's cover depicting an anti-American Barack Obama in the Oval Office is unquestionably rooted in the darkest ideologies of scare tactics and fear mongering.

When a female reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked Sen. John McCain why many health-insurance plans cover Viagra but not contraceptives, even his many years of interview experience seemed unable to lead him to an answer. The presumptive Republican nominee could not recall how he voted on the subject - a mystery soon solved by his questioner: He voted against it.

A recent television recording showing Jesse Jackson making obscene comments in regard to democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has created much controversy.
