On ABC’s Good Morning America, correspondent John Berman investigated the looming end of the Fox News-Glenn Beck relationship, describing it as a “marriage that went sour.” In Berman’s words, it was a case of “falling ratings, fleeing advertisers, and like many divorces, it had one partner that kept on saying things that, well, went pretty far.” That partner, of course, was Beck, who Berman notes “barked, cried, and ranted” on his show for two years.

It’s a New Yecade! I am going to keep saying that until it catches on. But either way, we’re four days in and everything feels COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Actually, and weirdly, it sort of does — maybe it’s because of all the decade-end stuff, but “2010″ looks, well, normal. Which is a very good sign. Which means we can now share all our shameful secrets from 2009. Like loving “Party In The USA.”

Barack Obama isn’t the first President to come under fire for suspicious birth certificate origins. That honor belongs to Chester Arthur — also the first President of Vermont. Take that Calvin Coolidge! Turns out, for those of you not completely up-to-date on the presidential trivia, Arthur’s actual birthplace has long been under suspicion: there are rumors he may have been born in….Canada!
