Unlike Congress, the flu shot is just one prick that affects your annual well-being. Like choosing a presidential candidate, deciding whether or not to get a flu shot is a personal decision. Everyone has an opinion and theory about the flu-shot. Some believe it is worse for you than the flu, some believe it is a seasonal necessity, and some believe it’s a government mind-control drug that allows people to be entertained by Two and a Half Men. While we’re not big fans of needles or having to roll our finely pressed sleeves up over our bulging guns, we always get one for two simple reasons: Nothing is worse than being sick on a snow day, and influenza can kill your ass. [Join the conversation about ... flu shots.] Weird Al Yankovic - 'Alpocalypse' (album stream) • Click Hear.

Published Jun 14, 2011 Truly in a category all his own, famed parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic has had a whirlwind career since releasing his self-titled debut in 1983, and he still remains relevant today. His 13th studio album, Alpocalypse, is set to hit stores later this month, but we've arranged a stream of the whole thing right here in Click Hear. Alpocalypse is Weird Al's first studio album since 2006's Straight Outta Lynwood and sees the artist putting his goofy take on hits from T.I., Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, B.o.B and, of course, Lady Gaga, along with Al's usual batch of well-written original tracks and another one of his famed polkas.

Lady Gaga parody "Perform This Way," which makes light of the pop singer's "Born This Way," almost prevented the album from being made in a flurry of web-based misunderstandings. Since Weird Al has always sought the permission of the artists he pokes fun at, he asked Lady Gaga's management for clearance on the song. Speaking with Exclaim!

Beck Slams Huffington Post for ‘Colored’ Race Comments Story. On Tuesday, Glenn Beck explained and defended why he’s not a fan of using the term African American.

Almost immediately, those comments led to several articles throughout the mainstream media blasting him. On Wednesday, then, Beck took time to explain why those articles misconstrued what he said. The biggest offender according to Beck? The Huffington Post. In a piece titled “Glenn Beck: Term ‘Colored’ Is ‘Not A Bad Thing,’ ‘African American’ Is ‘Ridiculously Stupid’ (AUDIO),” HuffPo said beck “insisted” that “‘colored’ was a better term.” That was news to Beck, who on his radio show Thursday delivered a nearly 15-minute response. “Never did I say that,” Beck said. “The Huffington Post yesterday or printed today something that is the biggest lie, fabrication, out of context evil I think I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot,” he said earlier in the program. “Now, if you listened to the program yesterday, you know that is not what I said,” he added later.

'That's What She Said' Algorithm Created After Steve Carell's Departure From 'the Office' President Obama's jobs plan | The definition of insanity: President Obama's 'jobs plan' The definition of insanity (hat-tip to Albert Einstein) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. So, what do you call it when a flailing U.S. administration, with a 26% approval rating for its handling of the economy, keeps trotting out the same failed economic policies?

Do they honestly expect different results? The government tried to jumpstart the economy with a fiscal stimulus, which didn’t work. So they tried a second stimulus, which also didn’t work. They tried QE1, which didn’t work, so they tried QE2, which also didn’t work. The Obama administration has tried everything that doesn’t work — in some cases as many as 10 times — all with the same results.

Like trying to fix America’s debt problem by raising the debt ceiling and incurring even more debt. The president’s “laser-like focus on jobs” keeps leading him back to tax hikes, even though we’ve repeatedly seen that higher taxes kill jobs and lower taxes spur job growth. New York City Public School Sex Education Causes Stir for Parents’ Rights. In 2004, NPR reported a poll, conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, as finding that “the debate over whether to have sex education in American schools is over.”

The poll found that only 7 percent of parents believed sex ed should not be taught in school and that “parents are generally content with whatever sex education is offered.” But today, seven years later, it appears the debate does continue. In August, the New York Times reported that for the first time in two decades, New York City public school students would be required to take a semester sex ed in either the 6th or 7th grade and a second class in the 9th or 10th grade. How young is too young and who deems what's appropriate? (Photo: Chicago Tribune via Fox News) The Times and the Post both report that parents have the “right” to opt their children out of lessons about contraception methods. Obama to Announce Housing, Student Loan Changes Without Congress. This summer, Obama mentioned twice that he would like to circumvent Congress when it comes to pushing his agenda. Now, according to Reuters and the Associated Press it seems he is doing it.

“President Barack Obama this week will announce a series of actions to help the economy that will not require congressional approval,” Reuters reports, “including an initiative to make it easier for homeowners to refinance their mortgages, according to a White House official.” It should be noted that not everything the president does needs congressional approval. But the wire service explains just what it is Obama is working to do: The Associated Press adds that the moves will come with their own catchphrase: In July, Obama told the Hispanic group La Raza that the idea of “doing things on my own is very tempting:” Then in September, the president told the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute that “There are times where — until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again — I’d like to work my way around Congress.”

Herman Cain ‘Black American’ | 999 Would Cost Some People More | Neoconservative | Impossible Dream. Top Republican presidential contender Herman Cain said Sunday the 2012 race is “absolutely not” a factor in the 2012 campaign, and that the support he has is based on voters liking his ideas, not his skin color. Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Cain reiterated the fact that he prefers the term “black American” to “African American.” Cain’s race has been the target of prominent black leaders and other commentators, some attacking him for not being “authentically” black due to his conservative politics. “My roots go back through slavery in this country. Yes, they came from Africa. Pressed by host David Gregory about an analysis of his signature “9-9-9″ tax plan, Cain the proposal would cost some people more, but that it would eliminate other “invisible taxes” that hike up the price of goods.

“Some people will pay more, but most people will pay less, that’s my argument,” Cain said. The people who will pay more, Cain said, are those who buy more new goods. Watch below: Gadhafi and Co.
