When she travels to Chicago next week to tour Chicago food deserts with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and later host a fundraiser [...]

18. October 2011
New York magazine conducted an informal poll of fifty random Occupy Wall Street protesters, and the results are astounding. Actually, no, they’re exactly what we expected.

Rosie O’Donnell Voted Worst Talk Show Host Ever
