The Perfect Woman

Remember that kid in high school who never used to come out of his basement? He’s finally finished his big project!

Whassup?

Well I think this just about says it all.

Moose Lovin

Comedian Barry Mitchell offers his take on Katie Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” involving Sarah Palin’s relationship with moose.

More Mainstream Media Nonsense….

Coming unsurprisingly, this time, from Fox News, who are giving a “fair and balanced” airing to Sarah Palin’s camp complaining that her Newsweek photo is “unretouched.” First of all, either you want to be treated like a beauty queen or a politician. You can’t have it both ways. Vanity is unbecoming in a politician. Secondly, what’s truly ironic is that FOX News itself has been under scrutiny in the past for distorting Obama photos. As usual, those in the most fragile of glass houses are the first to hurl stones.

Barack Rolled!

The ultimate evolution of the Rickroll…pure genius

Workin’ for Diddy

“I Want to Work for Diddy” is the latest “Celebreality” show produced by VH1. The premise is that 13 contestants vie for the opportunity to be the next personal assistant for Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. The contestants include everything from an Iraq Veteran to a transsexual. The show is essentially modeled after “The Apprentice,” with P. Diddy in the Donald Trump role, with an important difference, which is that P. Diddy is actually a self-made billionaire and not merely a shameless self-promoting legacy. This translates into a show that Diddy realizes is not entirely about him, allowing us to focus on the contestants and actually welcome Diddy’s fairly brief appearances in the show. (Presumably we will see more of Diddy as the show progresses, as the contestants are told quite early that they are “Not ready to be in the same room with Diddy”).

A nice touch in this show is that when someone is eliminated, rather than being sent to do their own walk of shame, they are immediately escorted out of the building by security. Just like a real business environment!

Paris Hilton Wonders: “Is John McCain Suffering From Dementia?”

Paris fires back at John McCain! You go girl! That’s hot!

Judging a Magazine by Its Cover

Harold Ford Jr. talks about the controversy surrounding the latest New Yorker cover featuring Barack Obama dressed as a muslim, fist bumping his wife who is dressed as a terrorist while a flag burns in the fireplace. An outcry has arisen declaring this cover to be offensive.

It could not be more clear that this cover is a parody and it is satirizing how ridiculous some of the accusations leveled against Obama are. This is nothing new for the New Yorker by any means. In fact, a cover a few months ago featured Hillary and Obama in bed together both reaching for that “3 AM” phone. No one then suggested that it would make people believe that these two candidates were really sleeping together, and no one should imagine that this cover will reinforce notions that Obama is somehow in league with our enemies.

A popular way that Republicans mobilize the less than intellectual portions of their base is by suggesting that if Democrats were in power, America would somehow hand over the keys to Main Street to our enemies and that we would all be speaking Arabic (or Russian, or Chinese, what have you). Despite the fact that all of our greatest Wartime leaders were Democrats, this nonsensical argument holds water with the lowest common denominators out there and this cover simply shines a light on that. As to the suggestion that people who somehow believe Obama is a muslim terrorist will be reinforced by this cover? I have news for everyone. Those people are not reading the New Yorker.

Can a Reality Show Be Far Behind?

Death-metal-puppy - Awesome video clips here

OK I am usually not one for the cheap cute animal video post, but this is pretty damn funny.

Follow the Money

The latest big story coming from the campaign trail is that Barack Obama has reneged on his promise to use Public financing for his campaign. What this means is that he is not subject to public limits on how much money he can take in and what he can do with it. In addition, with private money comes the fear of private interests.

That’s fine, but the media is trying to make this play as a flip flop on the order of “I did not have sex with that woman,” or “no new taxes,” which it just is not. It’s a strategic move which will probably have no effect on his ability to govern and does very little to impugn his integrity. Hopefully a real story will come along soon and bury this one. In the meantime, watch the clip and judge for yourself. Be sure to stay tuned for the classic New York Post’s “punderful” headlines in the middle, just about all that tabloid has ever been good for.
