President Barack Obama, whose power to charm crying babies has already been documented, continued his attack on America’s sacred institutions today by bribing a crying kindergartener, encouraging innocent children to become literate elitists, and demonizing certain letters of the alphabet as “troublemakers,” according to notes from Tampa Bay Times reporter Alex Leary, as tweeted by [...]

Former South Carolina GOP executive director and weinermailer Todd Kincannon is doing his part to Support The Troops, if by “support” you mean “wish violent death to.”

Sorry dudes, but if you don’t want to experience the beauty and cosmic joy that is George Zimmerman’s brother explaining Race Facts at you, just go ahead and wait for the next post. Still with us?

Well, golly, Wonkaderos, it would appear that Yr Doktor Zoom has gone and insulted a man of wealth and taste! We wrote a little bloggy post about Michael Wolff’s lamentations re. the frightful state of anxiety that New York’s restaurant gauntlet induces in people who matter, and since yesterday was the birthday of Douglas Adams, [...]

President Obama’s reference to a “Jedi mind meld” at a press conference shook the geekosphere Friday, leading many to doubt his credentials as nerd in chief. Anguished tweets about the gaffe flooded the internet, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and refused to shut up. And Serious News Organizations carefully explained [...]

Just a quick reminder, Wonkeratti, that you have a bit over a week to get ahold of and read our Book Club’s first selection, Andy Carvin’s Distant Witness: Social Media, the Arab Spring and a Journalism Revolution.

Unlike a [...]

That gentleman in the bluejeans up there, leaning uncomfortably into the aisle at the State of the Union address is one Ted Nugent, whose reputation preceded him. Seated next to him, at the invitation of Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer, is another musician, Pink Martini’s Thomas Lauderdale, from Portland. Besides performing hip retro lounge music, Lauderdale [...]

So, as you know, the Pope went all Brave Sir Robin today, but apparently it is very, very uncivil to make jokes about The Impressive Clergyman, or to mention that the institution he has led since 2005 has had a bit of a problem with kiddy-diddling priests.

We presume maybe you’ve heard something about that? It seems that Rep. Rohrabacher [...]

We’ve all been there. Some baby is hopped up on goofballs and sucking Mountain Dew from a bottle. And he is running around the grocery store like a Hell’s Angel at Altamont while his pilled-out mom manages to whisper a couple times, “Jaaaden … um … honey? Where am I?” And we have wanted to [...]

Poor dumb (clueless? Nahh, definitely dumb) old man John “That One” McCain simply does not see why anyone is making a fuss over his simple little joke calling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a monkey, because for god’s sake, people, it is a JOKE and also did you notice that Iran is our enemy? And it’s always OK [...]
