CLASSIC MAD DEPT.
Recently, Clueless actress Alicia Silverstone posted a video of her feeding her 10-month-old son in a…unique way. The clip quickly went viral (becoming the first popular thing she’s starred in for over a decade).

The Obamacare Case: What the Supreme Court Justices Are Thinking
JUDGEMENT DAZE DEPT.
The Supreme Court is wrapping up Day 3 of long, boring arguments over Obamacare. You have to believe that even the keenest legal minds found their thoughts wandering as the arcane arguments dragged on. And we don’t even have the keenest legal minds on the Supreme Court!

Celebrity Snaps: 'Mad Men'
PICS OF THE LITTER DEPT.

Thanks to Tom for the photo!
