With the Supreme Court hearing arguments in favor of striking down Prop 8, California’s ban on gay marriage (and the possible repeal of DOMA), we took a look at some of the many federal benefits conferred upon straight married couples by the government, just in time for tax season!

Former Secretary of State and potential presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton endorsed gay marriage on Monday, making her announcement in a new six-minute video released by the Human Rights Campaign.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in trouble, and not for the usual reasons.

Ladies, grab your vuvuzelas, put Kool And The Gang on repeat, and begin helicoptering your bras over your heads: after much Congressional kerfuffling, President Obama finally signed the reauthorized Violence Against Women Act into law.

No, it wasn’t Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) or Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI). It was the South African grind train conductor and Queen of “O Rly?” faces herself, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Boom. Check, please!

Because Washington and Lincoln have had their share of the spotlight, we’ve rounded up five of our favorite and lesser-know First Ladies in the gallery below. Join us as we celebrate the newly-founded (by us) All The Presidents’ Women Day. As the saying goes, “Behind every great man is a woman who should probably be standing beside said great man, if not strutting ahead of him while listening to En Vogue’s ‘Free Your Mind.”

Everyone wants to sit with Michelle at the State of the Union tonight. Did she ask you to sit with her? I sat by her last time, so.
