The New York Post has a long history of publishing controversial material. The most recent episode involves, of all things, a cartoon with a dead chimpanzee and some police officers.
Enter one Reverend Al Sharpton, another entity with a long history of controversy. Some would argue that wherever you find a zebra, you’ll find Al Sharpton. [...]

Just a couple of minutes ago, I received a call. They didn’t leave a message, or let the phone ring more than 2 times, before hanging up. It dawned on me, I receive many such calls in the week. Also, I was reminded of a flyer that was recently placed on the door to my [...]

Sports Illustrated magazine had automobile racing star Danica Patrick pose for their swimsuit issue. However, they used digital ‘airbrushing’ techniques to remove a back tattoo from her image. Patrick’s people have come forward saying they’re aware of it and it’s not a problem with them.
I have to disagree. It was an American flag. Plus, Sports [...]

Herman Rosenblat and his wife have been telling this romantic story for a long time. They met as children in a concentration camp. It’s recently been proven to be a lie.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was in a trailing position toward the end of the Daytona 500 race, and Brian Vickers had just driven him out-of-bounds. Whether it was intentional or not is apparently open for debate, but Jr. then came back in and aggressively ‘clipped’ Vickers’ corner.
This triggered a nine-car crash that took the lead car, [...]

Cornell University, under the direction of marketing professor Brian Wansink, conducted a study supposedly focused on how classic recipes have changed over the years. However, they seemed to point their study at one particular cookbook, “Joy of Cooking”, published by Scribner.
Their explanation, was that “Joy of Cooking” has been around since the 1930’s and regularly [...]
