Apparently, being cold and stuck inside makes me kind of rant-filled about bailouts, stimuli, Prop 8, Hannukah, the mortgage crisis and structural deficiencies, so Spencer Ackerman is basically the perfect person to talk to. More »

In order to deal with the paparazzi problem...

mcarpentier — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:45:00 EDT

In order to deal with the paparazzi problem in L.A., the city of Malibu has turned to that savior of the legal system, Pepperdine Law School Dean Ken Starr. Mayor Pamela Conley Ulich is going to pay Starr "to convene a group of experts in the media and legal community to help draft a city ordinance" to do something, anything, about the hordes that have already begun descending. Starr, you'll recall, was once hired by the federal government to convene an investigation into a land deal in Arkansas made by Bill Clinton and ended up writing a long, pornographic legal brief to prove that Bill Clinton stuck a cigar in the vagina of a willing young woman who was not his wife. We assume Starr's work on behalf of the city of Malibu will result in an in-depth examination of how much of Miley Cyrus's naked breasts Annie Leibovitz actually saw. [LA Times] More »

Hot Obama Adviser Samantha Power F*****s Up Big Time!

Moe — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:00:00 EST

Dear Obama foreign policy adviser Samantha Power, you are hot. You are Elizabeth Kucinich hot, maybe even Huma Abedin hot. But you like to say "Fuck" and that's what really counts here. You play basketball. With George Clooney. You're a humanitarian. Marie Claire named you the Smartest Woman In America. You wrote a book on UN Sergio Vieira de Mello, which...reminds us that the Iraq War has killed not only 600,000 or so innocents, but some with really sexy names. You're not afraid to go back and admit that something you said before was "stupid." But we never really thought much about you until yesterday, when you gave an interview to a Scottish newspaper while drunk. Or something. You admitted you "fucked up" in Ohio. And then proceeded to fuck up some more! After the jump Megan Carpentier of the blog Glamocracy and I discuss whether it's possible Power called Hillary a "monster" affectionately, and also Condi, Pelosi, Boeing, Ed Rendell, anarchy in Times Square, text messages from Hamas and the Smurfs, in a special deluxe A380 sized TGIF IM. Viva Crap. More »

Surprise! Identity politics is the topic du jour. Well, that and how Iraq would like our military to keep its surge on until the Jamie Lynn Spears gives birth to her first grandchild or whatever. Today the New York Times found a few Latino kids to talk about how their parents were too racist to let them date black guys/vote for Obama. Depressing. Also Bob Herbert visits a Nevada whorehouse and gets depressed, we catch up with the Girls Girls Girls of Clintongate and talk pornography and get depressed. Hey, Paula! Grab a Prozac and stay awhile! More »
