In Britain, Many Are Tiring of Royal Wedding Mania
By not in system - AOL NewsLONDON - There's still a month to go until the royal wedding and yet some Britons are already asking: Is it over yet?

Dresden Dolls Singer Not 'Kid-A'-ing Around With Radiohead Uke Tribute
By David Moye - AOL News(Aug. 3) -- Radiohead is known for uncompromisingly dark music that expresses the emotional turmoil of humans as they come to terms with the effects of technology on their psyches. The ukulele has a rep as a happy instrument that is only meant to be played at Hawaiian luaus by Don Ho or Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. So it's hard to imagine a band's catalog and a musical instrument being more inappropriate for each other, right? 8ft.

Opinion: No Getting 'Over' Anything These Days

"Does he need someone to watch that money for him ...

Declaration of Independence Text, Retooled for the Web
By Dana Chivvis - AOL NewsOn June 10, 1776, the Continental Congress appointed a committee made up of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman to draft a declaration of independence from England. Jefferson was the one who actually wrote the declaration, (taking his sweet time) from June 11 to June 28, 1776, and it seems he was making corrections to the draft as he went. The Library of Congress announced today that new hyperspectral imaging of his Declaration rough draft shows he omitted the phrase "our fellow subjects" in favor of the word "citizens." Though the specific ...
