Hey remember this guy? He likes to dance and haul brush, and sometimes he plays basketball with Irish youngsters. We will miss you, President Doofus, and your rad jump shot. [YouTube]

Sure, Hillary Clinton always refuses to discuss hypotheticals. But what if, hypothetically speaking, she were to kiss Barack Obama in the French style onstage during a debate, in front of Wolf Blitzer and millions of television viewers? Would that be awesome, or the opposite of awesome? Fortunately, Video Science has the answer!

From the savant with too much time on his hands who brought you Mike Gravel rapping comes a video of our beloved President, telling us not to fear the coming apocalypse with our new robot overlords and/or Ron Paul supporters (it’s so hard to tell the difference sometimes!). It might be the end of the world, but GWB feels fine!

Honestly, can you blame Dick Cheney for falling asleep during yesterday’s cabinet meeting about the California fires? Cheney doesn’t want to have to listen to a bunch of boring stuff about environmental crap! Especially in California! We’ve seen this before, of course, but the last time, at least Dick had the sense to have a prop briefing on his lap that he could pretend to be “reading”. Just wake him up when he’s finally allowed to bomb Iran, OK? MORE »

Good morning! Princess Sparkle Pony here, and I’ll be tarting the place up today and tomorrow as guest blogger. I don’t know about you, but few things are more important to me than what grows out of the heads of the various presidential candidates, and I’m not talking about the extra face on the back of Dennis Kucinich’s noggin (have you ever seen a photo of the back of his head? I didn’t think so.)! MORE »

That’s ostensible born-again Christian Tom DeLay and ostentatious, drunken God-hater Christopher Hitchens making nice with each other at the Hill’s book fair last week! Some puckish individual thought it would be funny to sit them next to each other and watch them squabble about religion or something. Little did they know that Hitch’s hatred of all gods would dovetail nicely with DeLay’s hatred of the Muslim god and they’d have a high old time together while hawking their lame books. MORE »

Sometimes we will just post things because they are funny. We call those times “Thursday evening.”
