• F.U., shilly Jerry: Because it sucks, operating system Vista's maker, Microsoft, is giving Jerry Seinfeld $10 million to say it doesn't.

CLICK HERE NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BUT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO: Ted Stevens, lazy criminal; Russia's camping in Georgia; anti-gays, a whole town of 'em; and a wealthy do-gooder moves to steal Donald's thunder!
