Remarkably Unremarkable During the Republican presidential primaries Rick Santorum posited that Mitt Romney was "uniquely unqualified" to be president. Here's what he meant. Mitt Romney has held exactly one public office, that of Governor of Massachusetts. He snuck in during the furor that followed the 9-11 attacks, at a time when the media completely forgot that it was a Republican administration that missed all the clues leading up to the attacks on the Twin Towers.

The 4 Most Important Things to Know as a Gamer Parent In a Game, the Objectionable Content Can Be Buried Deep So, I realized then that being vigilant about my kids' gaming was going to require me to do some actual, strenuous parenting beyond simply trying to banish games from their lives and washing their eyes out with soap.

Massive Earthquake Reveals Entire Island Civilization Called 'Haiti' PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI—Less than two weeks after converging upon the site of a devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake, American anthropologists have confirmed the discovery of a small, poverty-stricken island nation, known to its inhabitants as "Haiti." Located just 700 miles off the southeastern coast of Florida, the previously unaccounted-for country is believed to be home to an estimated 10 million people.
