Even Americans who are lucky enough to have work in this economy are becoming more unhappy with their jobs, according to a new survey that found only 45 percent of Americans are satisfied with their work.

That was the lowest level ever recorded by the Conference Board research group in more than 22 years of studying the issue. In 2008, 49 percent of those surveyed reported satisfaction with their jobs.

Shake Hands with Lady Luck

Have you always thought of yourself as a lucky person, Scorpio? No matter how lucky you've been in the past, 2010 is likely to be a very lucky year for you. You may not win the lottery or find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but things will start happening for you. Astrologically, the reason for this would be the passage of Uranus, planet of luck, through Pisces, which is a Water Sign like Scorpio. Romance could come your way from an unexpected source...

Dick Cheney: Obama not as willing to kill brown people.

All Cheney wanted for Christmas was more torture, more loss of civil rights and the murder of hundreds of more civilians some place far from here.

Andrew Madison Rove, your mommy and evil daddy don't love each other any more and it's totally your fault

Karl and Darby Rove are now divorced. They were married for 24 years and have one son together and a court in Texas has granted their request to end the marriage. The couple is said to have split amicably, even spending the Christmas holiday together and with their son Andrew Madison Rove, according to an insider cited by Politico.

BWHA HA HA HA HA. Man, right at Christmas too. I really hope this sucks pretty badly for the Rove family. They totally deserve it….

Like school in the summertime...

President Obama has ordered a review of security screening processes after Friday's botched terror attack on a U.S. airliner, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Sunday.
