Decades before Happy Days and his career as a film director, Ron Howard, age 5, was best known as Opie, the son of Andy Griffith, a sheriff in the sleepy burg of Mayberry, North Carolina. Griffith's comic foil was Don Knotts as bumbling deputy Barney Fife. — Read the rest ...
A pup named Saint Sebastian might seem like a saint as he quietly sits in a car — but his hilarious haircut after a trip to the groomers gives him away. 'What do you have to say for yourself?' his human asks as the miniature golden doodle — who apparently got kicked out...
Kentucky's gift to tyranny, whose blockade of a President's nominee for the Supreme Court shifted the court's ideology and forever changed the United States, 'Moscow' Mitch McConnel announced he would not seek re-election. Named 'Moscow Mitch' for his aiding Russian...

Texas banned abortion and made a point of not studying the healthcare outcomes. ProPublica sifted through data on millions of hospitalizations of pregnant women and concludes that the outcomes are dire: maternal sepsis rates during the second trimester have gone from 2.9% to ...
