Poll: 4 in 10 Southerners Still Side With Confederacy
By Lauren Frayer - AOL NewsA century and a half after the opening shots of the U.S. Civil War, nearly four in 10 Southerners say they still sympathize with the Confederacy.

In the South, 38 percent of respondents said they sympathize with the Confederacy, which lost the bloody war. ...

Anderson Cooper Attacked in Egypt: 5 Facts on the CNN Newsman
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsSometimes, being a network anchor entails more than sitting behind a desk and reading the news.

What Everyone Thought of Michele Bachmann's State of the Union Response
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsMichele Bachmann became the first representative of the tea party movement to respond to a State of the Union address, criticizing President Barack Obama for overspending and praising the tea party for shifting the tides in Washington.

Unbeknownst to cable audiences, Bachmann directly addressed the tea party camera feed slightly off to her right, a small flub that quickly earned her the nickname "crazy eyes" (by ...
