MSNBC Needs To Make It Official »

Their name change to MSNB(arack)O(bama). Seriously.

The Saudi Hollywood Makeover »

The tense relationship between Pakistan and the United States has often been described as a bad marriage. Like a couple teetering on divorce but frozen in mutually dependent inertia, the U.S. wants one thing while Pakistan wants another, at least most of the time.

Chris Matthews’ Trip To Crazy Town **OPEN THREAD** »

Okay, you know it is bad when other journalists, and frequent guests, are talking about how nutso Chris Matthews has become.
