Culture Buzz Online activists are not happy about their decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood.

Politics Buzz Absurd excuse for flip flopping on an important issue for the sake of wooing Iowa evangelicals? Or the absurdest? A quote from Rick Perry explaining why he changed his mind from allowing abortion in cases of rape and incest, a position he held as recently as last month, to wanting a total ban.
Politics Buzz For an attack ad, it's actually pretty funny. The Democratic National Committee is running this in 6 battleground states, suggesting they don't think the Newt bubble is going to prevent Romney from getting the nomination. Ew. “Newt bubble.”
