• OH LOOK, A BOOK REVIEW, BY YOUR EDITOR: “According to Kurt Andersen’s slim new book Reset, the economic collapse is a magical second chance for America — an opportunity for a nation of greedy vulgarians and fat slobs to find new purpose in our post-binge society.” [Las Vegas Weekly]

Solid gold, gold, gold! (Except for the shitty local ad in the beginning — sorry!) This insane hell-woman at a town hall in Las Vegas overhears an Israeli man praising Israel’s national health care system, and says from afar, “HEIL HITLER!” Then she calls him gay for Obama and laughs like a baby when he explains that the American health care system basically bankrupted him. Does this lady have a name? Because we’d love to engrave this incident on “her Google,” permanently. UPDATE: This RUDIMENTARY video player may or may not have been destroying the beloved Wonkette Commenting System! Just go watch it at fancypants Think Progress, where nothing dies. MORE MADNESS: Tipster LUKE writes, “The evil, evil woman in the video is wearing an Israeli Defense Forces t-shirt. What the fuck?” Everyone is lying in this wretched country! [Sigh] Enough typing for the day. [Think Progress]

Former president Bill Clinton gathered together a bunch of his dude friends and celebrated his 63rd birthday in Las Vegas eating steaks cut from the loins of actual angels and topped with a port wine reduction. Guests included rum-soaked popinjay Terry McAuliffe and Steve Bing, that guy who impregnated Liz Hurley once. Clinton’s “real” birthday is August 19. [The Caucus]

The look on these anchors’ faces at 0:33 might rank among the greatest YouTube freeze-frames of some period of time. [Las Vegas Gleaner]

Here is Your Barry taking a few minutes to explain, calmly and cheerfully, what his energy policy is, how it contrasts with John McCain’s, and why the reporter is kind of a douche. Obama gets a big F minus for this one because he did not hold this interview on an offshore oil rig in a hurricane. [Las Vegas Now]

Yesterday we showed our dear readers the ‘Nobama Network,’ a ‘portal site’ developed by Hilltards that links to hundreds of disastrous old ladies’ sites, including Wonkette, Talking Points Memo, and Arianna Huffington’s Post. Who is behind this marvelous service to the Internet, and America? Wonkette operative “blogslut” obviously was determined to figure this out and discovered that the registrant is one Wendy Adams, a.k.a. “wendy@awebcat.com.” If you check out Wendy’s “awebcat.com,” you’ll see that she does “Las Vegas Web design,” and the first row of her portfolio includes the various “Adult Web Design” projects she’s put together. After the jump, let’s take a look at some of Wendy’s sexy projects that she works on when she’s not creating the Nobama Network. (WARNING: PICTURES OF HOT MALE AND FEMALE SLUTS AFTER THE JUMP, MAKE SURE YOU’RE IN PRIVATE OR HAVE A COOL BOSS WHO LIKES TIT$ AND STUFF). MORE »

Everyone knows that John McCain hates his wife and calls her a “cunt” almost all the time. Everyone also knows that John McCain is a famous comedian, which is why his best friend is Jon Stewart, from television. And that’s why he made a “wisecrack” yesterday about beating up his wife in Las Vegas. Ha ha, because if he actually did beat up his wife, his chances of becoming president would be limited! MORE »

The current Miss USA, Rachel Smith, is America’s most beloved and trusted source for political analysis second only to David Broder. So why did she clam up around one reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal? Doesn’t she know it’s her right and her responsibility, as a citizen and an elected leader, to tell the American public exactly what she thinks about conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center?

Last Saturday, the Clark County, Nevada Republican party held its convention, and the biggest story was the keynote speaker who laughed at Obama for being abandoned by two (NON-WHITE) fathers. Ha ha, poor Hopey. Apparently, however, it was the Clark County officials who were doing the abandoning — of their morals. MORE »

*WAR IS HELL:* The Clintons’ “March to the Sea” continues today as she burns all defeated culinary union employees in Vegas. [CNN]

While you people had a nice weekend, we went back to Nevada for Caucus Day. It was a very special time. We also “virtually” went to South Carolina, in our minds, to cover the GOP primary. Here’s what you missed: MORE »
