Gallery: Evil Dictators And Their Secret Crushes
Last week’s discovery of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi‘s secret scrapbook of Condoleezza Rice got me thinking…is every despot motivated by intense feelings about some impossible love object?

It was with this in mind that I compiled this list of evil dictators and my best guesses as to whom their secret crushes might be/have been. You know, for the good of humanity. More »

And the TV crew decided to film him walking to and from the podium. That, combined with the subject matter, has made it the most badass speech of Obama’s presidency to date. More »
Snap This: President Obama Is the Best Secret-Keeper Ever
