It's not often that we delve into global politics here at Rumors and Rants, but Iran's recent actions have made it unavoidable. Quite frankly, there's no way anyone should ever allow these people to have nuclear technology, or for that matter anything more powerful than a musket.

While the United States continues to dominate the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, everyone paused yesterday so the host nation could play a little hockey against its neighbor to the south. It was lovely of the Canadians to allow the Americans on the ice and show us how to play ...
