Headlines below the fold

What if the MSM ignored "RAGEBOY" and reported reality, like Alqaeda's torture rooms, or noticed the real lesson of Lincoln?

On the other hand, the Vikings can beat rageboy at his own game...with humor.

What if the European Union was about people, not elite bureaucrats, making decisions? link?

On the other hand, Ireland and Denmark might actually insist to let their people vote on it.

What if A Mighty Heart actually was about a Jewish reporter murdered by evil men?

On the other hand, at least one Hollywood Diva has apologized for not realizing some people dislike fashion that applauds murderers.

What if there were no people on earth?

Why did the Taliban's "spring offensive" in Afghanistan turn out to be a dud?

And the good headline of the day: Americans give record $295B to charity
This is private and business donations to charities and trusts...83% is from individual gifts or bequests, and 93 billion went to church related charites.
Not included in the figure: Funds sent home by immigrants that support their families overseas. I couldn't find total amounts for the US , but this report says that $23 billion was sent to Latin American and Caribbean countries...
