By Mara Gay - AOL NewsAn unusual burial may have outed the world's first known gay caveman, whose bones were discovered outside Prague in a grave that indicates he was homosexual or possibly transgendered.

Europics Archaeologists have ...

Obama Bypasses Senate to Name New Envoys
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama has bypassed the Senate and directly appointed four new U.S. ambassadors whose nominations had been stalled or blocked by lawmakers for months. The White House announced Wednesday that Obama would use his power to make recess appointments to fill envoy posts to Azerbaijan, Syria and NATO allies Turkey and the Czech Republic. Recess appointments are made when the Senate is not in session and last only until the end of the next session of Congress. They are frequently used when Senate confirmation is not possible. Specific senators had blocked or refused to ...

By not in system - AOL News
PRAGUE (Nov. 15) - Astronomer Tycho Brahe uncovered some of the mysteries of the universe in the 16th century - and now modern-day scientists are delving into the mystery of his sudden death. On Monday, an international team of scientists opened his tomb in the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn near Prague's Old Town Square, where Brahe has been buried since 1601. After eight hours of work, they lifted from the tomb a tin box like a child's coffin in which Brahe's remains were placed after the only previous exhumation, in 1901. Brahe's extraordinarily accurate stellar and planetary observations, ...
European Leaders Skeptical of Obama's Economic Plans
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyIn advance of President Barack Obama's European trip for the G20 meetings, some European leaders who greeted his election so enthusiastically mere months ago have put on a decidedly skeptical face for the new American president and his economic policies. Many in Europe see the world's current economic climate as a result of societal excess and a lack of government regulation. They want to see stricter government controls on banks and businesses in the United States, and less of the direct spending called for by the Obama Administration in its $3.6 trillion budget and $787 billion economic ...

Why Do Americans Protect the World?
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyDuring my years in Europe, the most disappointing sentiment which I have encountered has been the refusal of Europeans to believe that Americans take any actions for altruistic reasons. Of course, the U.S. often acts in its own best-interest. From foreign trade agreements to the Global War on Terror, Americans are not unaware of the benefits of wealth and security we hope to receive. However, Americans are neither shocked by, nor adverse to, appeals to sacrifice our wealth and security for the good of others. The State Department, particularly through USAID, provides billions of dollars in ...
Czech Soccer Team Knows How to Get Over a Loss
By mjd - AOL NewsThe Czech Republic soccer team recently lost to Germany 2-1 in a Euro 2008 qualifier, and ... you know, that sort of thing can depress you. But you know what can un-depress you? Whores. This is a fact that is not last on the Czech national soccer team. So after they lost to the Germans, they consoled themselves with six prostitutes in their hotel in a party that lasted until 5:30 a.m. Afterwards, they felt much, much better about things. Of course, the Czech Football Association doesn't feel too good about it. They fined the players £25,000. I don't think they fined the whores. They got the ...
