In New York City today, the 69th version of the United Nations General Assembly was called to order. Manhattan was jammed with traffic, streets were filled with people wearing strange clothes and yelling in every conceivable language. Then the U.N. got started.

It's always fun when people who can't stand each other come together, make speeches, and glare at each other in silent hatred, knowing they won't have to see each other for a whole year. It's like international Thanksgiving.

Paris Hilton has a new dog. But not just any dog. A dog she paid $13,000 for. The breeder that she bought it from named the dog "Mr. Amazing" — I guess because it's amazing they were able to get somebody to pay $13,000 for a dog.
The reason Mr. Amazing is so expensive is that he's one of the world's smallest Pomeranians. For another $4,000, they will sell you no Pomeranian at all.

Hillary Clinton also gave a speech in Iowa. She fueled speculation that she’ll run for president when she admitted that she's “thinking about it.” And next week, she'll be “thinking about it” when she's in New Hampshire before she spends a few days “thinking about it” in Florida.
This week Scotland will vote on whether it wants to leave the United Kingdom. If Scotland votes "yes," it will also leave the European Union and NATO and be responsible for defending itself. Or as Vladimir Putin put it, "I got dibs!"
Of course if Scotland does break up with England, it’ll just do what everyone does: Stalk them on Facebook.
Did everybody get the free U2 album in their iTunes? Well, there were some complaints, so Apple built a webpage specifically for users to delete the album from their accounts. You just enter your birthday, and if you’re under 40 years old it deletes the album.
