Though no formal plans for the new president’s first trip to China have been drawn up yet, it’s never too early to start planning, reading and watching. Such is the premise behind Jeffrey Wasserstrom’s listicle of 5 suggested books on China and 5 complementary films for the new President, all of which are equally valid [...]

The handsome gentleman at right is your new greater-of-two-evil-parties party chairman, Michael S. Steele. The former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland took over as chairman of the Republican National Convention last week, and looks to be more prominent and proactive than his predecessor Mike Duncan.
Judd Legum over at the Huffington Post would like to introduce you [...]

Yesterday the Huffington Post alerted us to this scary story from Fox News out of Texas: hackers are messing with road signs and writing things that are either hilarious or terrifying (depending on how one feels about zombies).

Liberals, it would seem, are at their most influential in years in U.S. politics. They’re saving the environment, getting Democratic presidents elected, trying to legalize gay marriage (and, on occasion, marijuana), plotting to end the war in Iraq and dictating where various bail-out funds should go.

For only the second time in these soon-to-be-over aughts, America had two different presidents in one week, giving the Interweb twice the fodder for more-or-less political list-making. Parsing through our online colleagues’ output for our weekly catch-up listicle Weekly Wednesdays, we came across a sampling of the most obscure policy points, tangential pop cultural tie-ins, [...]

For all our efforts to offer you, dear readers, as many environmentally-minded listicles as we can read, the greening of the Interweb is advancing at such a pace that we honestly can’t keep up with all the eco-friendly listicles.
What better way, then, to do justice to all the green listicles (”greensticles”?) than to dedicated this [...]

It’s probably the most common New Year resolution and long hours at the office are probably the most oft-cited reason it gets abandoned by the end of January: getting fit. Well it just so happens that ABC News has developed its Office Six, which sounds kinky but is actually a set of very practical physical [...]
