Rolling Stone's Army Psy-Ops Story Is Out; Twitter Already Making 'Goat' Jokes
By JJ Helland - AOL NewsIt looks like Rolling Stone has another hit. The magazine dropped an online bombshell late last night, publishing an article claiming the Army ordered "psychological operations" to be used against visiting U.S. lawmakers in Afghanistan. Why?

Huckabee Gets Cloak & Jaggered
By Brandon Barker - Politics DailyJust when you thought Mike Huckabee was through having run-ins with rock legends, he jumps right back in. This time, it's not with BOSTON guitarist Tom Scholz--who recently asked the former Arkansas governor to stop playing his songs on the campaign trail--but with Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.
