The Results Are In: Your Pick For Funniest News Anchor Blooper of 2008
This year was an especially fine one (or painful, depending on your perspective) for news anchor bloopers. We had a strange justification for why Obama's victory was historic, a reporter who apparently hates children's artwork, and one very oddly placed giant dildo.
But the best news blooper according to GiggleSugar readers, is when Ken Bastida learns the value of punctuation and accidentally declares his co-worker dead.
NuvaRing and Blood Clots — How Likely Are They?
I've been receiving shocking emails lately, forwarded from friends about the NuvaRing causing ER visits and deaths due to blood clots. I'm not sure if you've heard any of this, but I thought it'd be a good idea to do a little research and set the record straight.
To find out if you should stop using the NuvaRing, read more
How to Pick Which Election Coverage to Tune Into on Tuesday
With less than a week left until election night it's time to start making plans — not what election parties or events you're attending, this is a much, much more important decision— who you're spending the evening with, teevees-wise. The media has been as important this campaign as the candidates — and since McCain is saying they've all been fooled as to the real state of the race, I can't wait to see the results. I know who I'm watching, I've been so CNN-loyal the whole campaign, the thought of abandoning my Wolf wouldn't happen by a hair of his chinny-chin-chin.

Politics Take Center Stage at the Emmys: The Real Winner?
The group-effort, let's-have-everybody-host format at last night's Emmys isn't earning raves in the cold light of day, but the election can surely be counted as one of the stars, swiping at least as much stage time as some of the winners despite rumors of a ban. Behold as Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart turn an innocent snack into a juicy metaphor for the political landscape.

John McCain is heading to the Naval Academy for his 50th class reunion this weekend. By that complicated math, you can figure it means he graduated in 1958. McCain will definitely be attending the football game this afternoon between Navy and Rutgers.

It's a coming out of a whole different variety: gay Republicans (sometimes known as Log Cabin Republicans, the gay and lesbian Republican grassroots organization) coming clean about their party affiliation. It's a tricky sell for the average homosexual who is for strong national defense, limited spending and other Republican party favors. It's a pairing of identities that leaves some feeling like, "you're not liked by either side."Despite Chicness, Italy Might Say Arrivederci to English Words
Before it was the national language, Italian was just the regional dialect of Tuscany. But, since it went on to become the official language in the 1800s, Italy is ready to protect it from an English invasion. The influential Dante Alighieri Society, similar to France's Académie française, wants to erase words like "le weekend, "cool" and "OK" from conversational and written Italian.
Ease & Access vs. Security & Responsibility: Voting Too Easy?
