A well-known phrase states that “you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.” That concept was very much in play on Wednesday, when Piers Morgan -- the Britain-born host of a weeknight program on CNN -- banished conservative talk radio host Dana Loesch from his show for being “glib” about the grisly beheading of a London soldier.

As Support for Gun Control Slips, Piers Morgan Picks On Women Gun Righ
January 17th, 2013 1:01 PM
Despite Piers Morgan's consistent advocacy, CNN's own polls show support for certain gun laws down from a month ago.

A not-so funny thing happened on the social media website Twitter Sunday.
