But Seriously, Just How Slow-Witted is John Boehner?
As he moves from lobbyists to the golf course, from press conferences to the tanning bed, he remains oblivious to all that is around him. He has power, incredible power, and yet to this day he has no understanding of the election that made it so. Moreover, all around him are astonishing opportunities for him to be an historic figure -- one who could and should be the man who did more than any other single person in turning back the red tide of Obama. It’s all there for Speaker of the House, and yet John Boehner manages to miss it all -- as he guarantees his spot as the most spectacular failure in the history of Speakers of the House.

Is Coca-Cola's Pomegranate Juice Real Enough? The Supreme Court Will Decide
There’s a fight over food labels at the Supreme Court on Monday between two companies that know a little something about marketing. On one side is Pom Wonderful, owned by Lynda and Stewart Resnick, the Beverly Hills billionaires responsible for starting the pomegranate superfood craze with their juice. On the other is Coca-Cola (KO), which needs no introduction. At issue: a pomegranate-blueberry-flavored juice produced by Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid division, and alleged by Pom to carry a misleading label.

Neanderthals Had Shallow Gene Pool, Study Says
Modern humans are the only humans alive today, but Earth was once home to a variety of other human lineages.
