Yet another article that refers to PPACA inaccurately as "ObamaCare." By the same logic, social security should be called "RooseveltBucks."

Robin Williams owed his career to th fact that "Happy Days" had jumped the shark. A space alien in a mostly realistic nostalgia-themed show?
Shooting in Missouri & aftermath. Most news outlets' angle: unarmed black teenager shot by cop. Fox News angle: restore law & order.
