Did you catch that 'Lost' finale? Damn, that shit was crazy! Anyway, here's the news...

The consequences of 'Don't ask, don't tell' are finally going to be explored: "Lawmakers who say the military has kicked out 58 Arabic linguists because they were gay want the Pentagon to explain how it can afford to let the valuable language specialists go."

Hey, speaking of homophobia, Mary Cheney has given birth to her first son, a boy. Odd thing, though... The official baby photo doesn't feature the child's parents at all. Isn't that odd? Yes, it's very odd.

Former Gonzales aide Monica Goodling testified to Congress yesterday and basically admitted a bunch of scandalous things for which no one will be held accountable.

Finally, deaths related to Ground Zero dust are being added to the 9/11 death toll.
