Governor Hall of Shame Get a hold of yourselves, governors! Is this any way for a state leader to act? Remember, you were elected to represent your states, not humiliate them by acting like a circus sideshow routine. At this rate, America is in serious jeopardy of having its vaunted political system turn into one bad afterschool special on Lifetime. And it's all thanks to these esteemed members o...

We've heard about WoW in schools before, but usually it's at schools of higher learning, where they're studying social networks or how society evolves. But a group in North Carolina is planning to put WoW in schools in a different way: by using situations in World of Warcraft to develop literacy, mathematics, and other competencies. WoWinSchools has math lessons and other tests based around WoW terms...

Cheney: Nats :: Coughlin: Yanks. (By Jim McIsaac - Getty) Yesterday morning, the New York papers described a potential loss to the Nationals as "virtually inexcusable" and "embarrassing" and a "humiliation."
