Facebook founder and cheif executive Mark Zuckerberg has been named Time magazine's 2010 person of the year. At 26, he is one of the world's youngest billionaires and is the youngest winner since Charles Lindbergh was named the first winner in 1927.

A Cure For HIV??

Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure. Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia.

R.I.P. Elizabeth Edwards


Elizabeth Edwards, the estranged wife of former presidential candidate and cheater John Edwards, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 61 after a six year battle with cancer. A classy lady and an intelligent woman. Don't let the actions of her husband be the only thing you remember her for. Watch the clip below to see her in action with one of my favorite guys, Stephen Colbert.

Good Message and Great Campaign


May contain some vulgar language, so be prepared, but if you've talked to me ever, you should be used to it!!!

It's What Comedian Do


Comedians make fun of people in the news and current events, which is what Kathy Griffin did here with Bristol Palin. Don't put yourself on a show like Dancing With the Stars if you don't want to have the chance of being ridiculed. Boo her all you want, but it won't stop her! Love me some Kathy!!!
