Violence Works
Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, which angered Muslims by publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad 10 years ago, will not republish Charlie Hebdo's cartoons due to security concerns, the only major Danish newspaper not to do so.

"It shows that violence works," the newspaper stated in its editorial on Friday.

Keystone Pipeline OK'd By Nebraska
A decision by the Nebraska Supreme Court on Friday clearing the way for the Keystone XL crude oil pipeline through the state means President Barack Obama can no longer delay the project, the top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives said.

Charlie Hebdo attack: Hunt for killers focuses on northern France
The intense manhunt for the two brothers wanted for the Charlie Hebdo magazine massacre focused Thursday on northern France's Picardy region, where helicopters swarmed overhead and heavily armed officers canvassed the countryside and forests in search of the killers.

Does anyone even doubt that Americans will defend our right to make a joke of anything? We're even considering another Bush.- LOLGOP

Nearly 200 sick and wounded soldiers in a gym at Fort Carson last month listened silently as Lt. Col. Daniel Gade offered a surprising warning: The disability checks designed to help troops like them after they leave the service might actually be harmful.

I guess one part of their plan that the terrorists didn't think through is now Charlie Hebdo's cartoons are being seen by millions around the world instead of a few thousand in Paris.- Andy Borowitz

Sen. Graham Gifts Ernst A Castration Device On First Day As A Senator

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) gave newly elected Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) a plaque with a livestock castration device on her first day in office.

After seeing the bull castration device given to Sen. Joni Ernst by Sen. Lindsey Graham, I couldn't help but think -- Republicans always have sex on their minds.

Hey, Remember The U.S. Soldiers That Are Still In Iraq?
The 320 U.S. soldiers and Marines at Al Asad air base in western Iraq have been coming under "regular" mortar fire from insurgent forces for several weeks, Defense Department spokesman Col. Steve Warren told reporters Monday.
While Warren insisted that the attacks have been "wholly ineffective" and "no U.S. personnel, no U.S. equipment have been impacted in any way," this was the first time that the Pentagon acknowledged that the 2,100 U.S. troops in Iraq have been in danger since deploying late last year.

USA: There Are More Prisoners Than College Students
There were 2.3 million prisoners in the U.S. as of the 2010 Census. It's often been remarked that our national incarceration rate of 707 adults per every 100,000 residents is the highest in the world, by a huge margin.

1. Conservatives whine about Boehner
2. Fail to unite alternative

Republicans Are Coming For Your Social Security. They're Really On A Mission.

Republican opponents of Social Security have not wasted even a single day in their plan to dismantle Social Security brick by brick.
