According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the fight started around 4 AM on Sunday when an off-duty police officer apparently working at the Buckhead, GA IHOP “shouted at a woman sitting in the corner of a booth near the door and then he lunged at her.” A second woman got involved — the officer punched her [...]

So, in 2007, China shot one of its satellites with a missile. Then: In February 2008, America launched its own “test” strike to destroy a malfunctioning American satellite, which demonstrated to the Chinese it also had the capability to strike in space. America stated at the time that the strike was not a military test [...]

Why is everybody sending us all these weird Christmas videos? Because we are Big Baby Jesus that is why! So let’s enjoy them, and then stop sending them to Wonkette. (Send them to your friends instead, with the Jib Jab and etc.) Happy Life Day or whatever, ha ha.

Watch the videos, and vote for your favorite. One contest voter will win a Joe Manchin autographed toy laser blaster. This is how you close out a campaign: shore up the base of mountain people who taped that Stars Wars off the teevee 20 years ago. [Joe Manchin]

The source of almost every political cliche since Jimmy Carter was president, the original Star Wars movies are still, somehow, “pop culture” more than three decades later. Have you seen any children lately? They still play with Star Wars toys, and have Darth Vader Mexican Pinatas at their birthday parties. Anyway, 30 years ago today [...]

Did you know it’s “Star Wars Day” here on Earth? Yeah, ha ha, it is a funny wordplay thing — IF YOU ARE A LISPING DINGUS — because it’s May 4, so you can say, “May the Fourth Be With You,” and then somebody’s just gonna wail on you, the same way Darth Vader is [...]

It is just that kind of news day, apparently! Anyway no one worry about the economy anymore. [YouTube]

This is the new Olympic sport Barack Obama wants, is the context. [Gawker]

It’s no secret that certain earthly beings harbor no love for the current Pope, a self-made Prada-clad dandy with a troubled past of torturing Luke Skywalker with his laser-beam hands. But apparently not even the Pope’s own guardian angel likes him very much, because it let him break his wrist a few weeks ago.

We’ll just throw all of these pictures in and not bother with the one-liners this time, because this is Art and must be respected. Here are some important themes, motifs and keywords though: Star Wars, furries, whores, the boardwalk, YouTube Thomas Paine impersonator as Big Brother, French aristocracy, CNN, Osama, Obama, media saturation, Adolf Hitler, [...]

Wonkette commenter Atheist Nun wins this massive Blingee contest with relative ease for the strong theme, the well-placed “masks,” and most importantly for recognizing that every single post by your editors on this website is, on some level, an allegory to the Cloud City scene in The Empire Strikes Back. Atheist Nun perhaps implies, “These [...]

Oh look what Alaskan numbskull Sarah Palin is wearing now: It’s an Imperial death smock, just like what’s his name, Peter Cushing, wore in the fascist movie Star Wars. Tomorrow, inevitably, she will wear a bear suit. [Gawker]

HEY GEORGE LUCAS, IS OBAMA A SPACE JEDI?: “I would say that’s reasonably obvious.” HOYVIN-GLAYVIN! [Yeas & Nays]

We used this same movie picture yesterday when the Associated Press erroneously reported that Hillary would concede in her speech last night. It only makes sense to use it again, because, as all Americans know, you have to destroy two (2) Death Stars to take down an Empire. We assume Hillary understands this, and that’s [...]

George Lucas, who created Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark three decades ago and has spent all his time since then trying to ruin them, says his new hero is Barack Obama. In Japan promoting the latest Indiana Jones movie, the Lucasfilm billionaire said he loves Barry so much because “for all of [...]
