“60 Minutes” sat down for a wide ranging interview with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta:

The only thing I found irritating about this interview is how they portray the hunt for Osama bin Laden. They make it seem as if Panetta rode into town on a white horse and got Bin Laden. Panetta was the beneficiary of years of intelligence work, much of which took place under Bush. Panetta was just the guy who saw it to the finish line. That said, Panetta seems like a competent guy. A real straight shooter. He’s perhaps the best hire of Obama’s presidency.

“PressPausePlay” is a fascinating look at the digital revolution and its effects on art, film, music, and literature. Is it a good or bad thing that anyone can record music, make films, or write books?

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture?

Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era.

Michelle Obama acknowledged in an interview with “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King she does not like the image some people have painted of her. She also dismissed reports of tension between her and the president’s staff, reports Norah O’Donnell.

CNN’s Piers Morgan (don’t worry if you don’t know who he is) invited Andrew Breitbart on along with Michael Reagan to discuss left wing attacks on Mitt Romney by other Republicans. For some reason, Morgan prefaces his question to Breitbart by calling him “notoriously evil.”

The only thing “notorious” I’m aware of are Piers Morgan’s terrible ratings. Oh wait, and also Piers Morgan’s involvement in the British phone hacking scandal.

911 operator told young mother she could not shoot until man entered her home.

I love how Donald rips his critics directly via webcam from his office. More celebrities should do this kind of thing. Get rid of the mouthpiece and speak for yourselves! Rather than keep threatening to run for president Trump should do more of these videos.

Pretty funny. I don’t like the fat kid who threw a fit and said he “hated” his parents. That little brat doesn’t deserve anything else. That’s the kind of entitlement mentality that leads to Occupy Wall Street.

Ironically, I have a memory from childhood similar to this seared into my brain. I remember it like it was yesterday. I think I was around 11 or 12 at the time. I had started playing basketball in the local youth league. I wanted a pair of $150 Air Jordan shoes like the other kids. My grandfather came by the house one day with a gift for me. It was a brand new pair of Reebok basketball shoes. A perfectly good pair of shoes, but not the fancy expensive ones I wanted. How dare I not get the most expensive pair of shoes. This would not stand!

I threw a temper tantrum much like the fat kid in this video. I told my grandfather I “hated” the shoes and would never wear them. He took them back, but I could tell his feelings were hurt. I felt ashamed of the way I behaved later than evening. It may seem trivial some 20 years later, but I still think about that day and feel so ashamed. I would do anything to go back and do things differently. I have no idea if my grandfather even remembers that incident, but it has stuck with me.

A couple of days later my grandfather took me to Foot Locker and bought me the exact shoes I wanted. Even after the way I treated him. That’s the kind of man he is.

I guess I’m lucky that even at that age I recognized how wrong it was for me to treat my grandfather (or anyone else) that way. It was incredibly cruel and heartless. A world class jerk move. What’s scary is that some kids today never seem to learn that lesson. They grow up thinking the world owes them something. They want to know why that bastard up the street drives a Mercedes and they don’t. They want the corner office and the mansion the day after graduating from college. When that doesn’t happen they take to the streets to condemn capitalism and the evil “1%.”

The highly anticipated Lindsay Lohan Playboy spread has finally hit the web. Enjoy!

Karl Rove attacked the idea of Donald Trump moderating an upcoming GOP debate. Predictably, Trump was quick to respond:

In response to comments from Karl Rove that candidates should skip the debate at the end of December to be moderated by Donald Trump, Trump said that in his opinion Rove was “highly overrated,” and “basically is a loser.” Rove says that  a Trump-moderated debate would trivialize the process

“I don’t think that Karl Rove is a smart person. I think he’s highly overrated,” said Trump, on a conference call about his new book. “I’ve watched Karl Rove for years. He’s a man who is only after Karl Rove, and he’s part of the problem with the Republican Party.

Rove, he said, “did such a bad job with Bush in that final period of time that no Republican could have possibly beaten Obama or any other Democrat.

I love a good Trump punch back as much as anyone, but this one is just dumb. You can say many things about Karl Rove, but “loser” is not one of them. Karl Rove is arguably the most successful Republican political consultant in America. He helped George W. Bush win two terms as Governor of Texas and two terms in The White House. Karl Rove didn’t have jack sh*t to do with John McCain’s horrific campaign. Rove is certainly part of the Republican establishment which has not served the party well in recent years, but to call him a “loser” is absurd.

Adam Carolla perfectly captures the essence of #OccupyWallStreet. It’s AWESOME.
