Never List 'God' as a Reference on a Resume
By Matthew Hall - AOL NewsAdvice for a successful job search often includes the tip that it is who, rather than what, you know. Let's hope that explains some of the results from a study by an international recruitment agency that said one job seeker submitted a resume citing "God" as a professional reference, while another was written in rhyme. Recent global surveys by CareerBuilder.com and its British partner CareerBuilder.co.uk have revealed some of the more unusual resumes received by employers. Across the United States, hiring managers revealed that one applicant included "God" as a reference -- but did not ...
Gadhafi Declares 'My People Love Me,' Blames Violence on al-Qaida
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsLibyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, denying the existence of any anti-government protests in his country, told Western media today that he is loved by his people and has no intention of relinquishing power.

Karl Rove Comment on Palin Sends Americans Searching for 'Gravitas' Definition
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 28) -- Let's get this out of the way at the very start: Merriam-Webster defines the word "gravitas" as follows: noun --- high seriousness (as in a person's bearing or in the treatment of a subject) On Thursday, after Republican strategist Karl Rove told a British newspaper that retired Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lacked the "gravitas" to ever become president, thousands of people across the country flocked to computers to try to find out just how big of an insult Rove had made. In fact, for much of the day, the terms "gravitas" and "gravitas definition" remained two of the top 10 Hot ...
Ginni Thomas Abruptly Cancels NPR Interview After Anita Hill Message Reveal
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 20) -- No time for tea, after all? The news that Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, left a message on Anita Hill's answering machine on Oct. 9 asking the former staffer to apologize to her husband over past accusations of sexual harassment has been greeted with widespread puzzlement.

French Politician Mistakes Inflation for Fellatio
By Ben Muessig - AOL News
(Sept. 27) -- They say politics is a dirty business, and when politicians talk about oral sex on national TV -- even accidentally -- it's easy to see why. In what sounds like a setup for a Bill Clinton joke, French politician Rachida Dati mixed up the word for "inflation" with the word for "fellatio" during an interview with Canal Plus television Sunday. According to the Time Newsfeed, Dati -- the mayor of Paris' seventh arrondissement -- jumbled her words when asked about foreign investment during a time of economic instability.

Obama's Aunt: US Obligated to Make Me a Citizen
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Sept. 21) -- As Congress prepares to re-initiate the stalled immigration reform debate this week, one very personal immigration issue looks poised to hit the president close to home. President Barack Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, says she's done nothing wrong by illegally living in the United States for years and is therefore deserving of amnesty. "If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen," Onyango, 58, told Boston's WBZ news. In her first interview since Obama was elected president, Onyango described how she came to America in 2000 from her native Kenya, ...
Castro Admits Cuban Communism Not Working
By Theunis Bates - AOL News(Sept. 9) -- None other than Fidel Castro himself now appears to have given up on Cuba's archaic communist system. The revolutionary leader last week launched a surprise attack on the state-controlled economy he helped create 50 years ago during an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for The Atlantic magazine. Goldberg asked the aging leader if Cuba's economic system was still worth exporting to other nations and was stunned by Castro's brutally honest response. "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore," said the 84-year-old former president, Goldberg wrote in a blog ...

During the interview, which aired on NBC's "Today" show today, van der Sloot, sporting a beard and mustache, said he decided to speak out because people view him as monster.
