news roundup

The Oh, Hell No Afternoon

  • New York City police arrested Al Sharpton, Sean Bell's fiancée, Nicole Paultre Bell, and hundreds of other protesters today for staging prayer sessions at the exits of Manhattan in protest over the acquittal of the cops that shot Mr. Bell. Because, obviously, inconveniencing others to protest the loss of life means you should spend time at Rikers. Why did they have to make me like Al Sharpton? [NY Times]
  • Hillary's staying in the race despite the hellishly long odds, hoping that Barack will fuck it up and she can convince the superdelegates to anoint her the candidate. [NY Times]
  • To that end, she had an unannounced meeting in Washington with many of them behind closed doors. There's nothing sketchy-looking about that to the average voter though. [The Atlantic]

Latest by ronaldpagan: Haha, as if anyone is still reading this post at this hour the next day! Artful Slinger, I don't blame you for not reading all 178 comments (I definitely don't when I come into a thread late.) But if you had, more »

Hillary Wins Another Primary!

Done and done and done and yup, even the Wall Street Journal thinks done. Hillary officially halted her frenzied schedule of telling the cable newsiverse how Good she feels and what a Good Time she's having and how Good it feels to be taking policy advice from Joe Sixpack etc. etc. And how did Obama do it? And how did Peggy Noonan know?? We'd rather talk about Burma and Putin Jr. and the insane San Diego fraternity coke bust, but Megan and I will try to talk "delegate math" and the surreal CNN comment that gave us both inexplicable sex dreams after the jump.

John McCain's Totally Hot Great Grand- Er, Son!

Hottie alert! Meet John McCain's son Jack McCain. He enjoys surfing, cooking, poetry, some weird Japanese drag racing subculture they made into a Fast & Furious sequel you definitely didn't see, and being in the U.S. American armed forces like dad. He's momentarily taking over campaign blogging for his sister Meghan, who is sick. (She "went to the doctor today and had it confirmed." Pregnant sick? Let's vote "no" for poor Meghan, but "yes" for the country?!) Anyway, we're presenting Jack to you because he is cute but moreover because we scoured his profile and could find absolutely nothing that brushed up upon any of those finely tuned Sixties Sensors so beloved by the Boomers. And while we can't exactly be thankful we got laid last night, we certainly can be thankful that it is starting to look like America is for the very first time EVER going to have an election that has nothing to do with the sixties! That and school shootings, Danny Ortega's valentine to Barack Hussein Obama, with me and Megan as usual etc. etc. so you know what to do just JUMP! More »

Iowa Caucuses Tomorrow! And Al Sharpton And Michael Moore Are...Fat Blowhard Pussies

OHMYGODOHMYGOD, it's almost January 3! Do you live in Iowa? Hillary has an underage baby-sitter for you. Go to college there? Barack Obama has a bus waiting to take you back so you can exhibit your youthful delusion that a black man could be voted president in this terrible country. Today is a very exciting day, because both Al Sharpton AND Michael Moore, pillars of the fat ugly blowhard hater lefty establishment we all so love, have finally chosen to weigh in on the Democratic candidates, and their choice is...well they're still on the fence. Here is a theory: the candidates are all too pretty for them. I mean, would you even do a double-take if you saw Elizabeth Kucinich walking down the street with Barack Obama or John Edwards? After the jump we discuss beauty, socialism, whether the country is irredeemably racist, and somehow, professional basketball, for your voyeuristic pleasure! More »

Latest by mysweetmango: @mynameisrio: No one is making up his abbreviated term as senator. Or the fact that he's dragging his wife through a presidential campaign in the midst of a terrible illness, all the while exploiting it. That kind of stuff says more »

TMZ's Harvey Levin Loves Himself A Hooker

You may have heard of Harvey Levin, the bene/malevolent deity to whom Paris Hilton appealed while in prison. He started the gossip website TMZ, which likes to coin new terms such as "celebuspawn", or the other day, in reference to a Matrix-y dress worn by Beyonce, "roboho." To which Rev. Al Sharpton got all: "WAIT A MINUTE HE SAID 'HO'!" So what did Harvey do next? Try and correct the little mix-up by explaining that the term was actually not a reference to the types of Ludacris-supported college basketball playing "hos" but actually an entirely unrelated play off the fashionista terms "boho" and its corollary "foho," both of which are also often invoked to characterize dresses? Fuck no! He bought a flag, propped himself in front of it and made us believe in liberty again with the most spirited defense of publicly shaming those who dress like prostitutes since the First Amendment was first signed into law.

Latest by ceejceej: I guess white folks don't know that to some black women, "ho" and "b*tch" are as offensive as "c*nt". (Note, I said "some". I can't account for women like Superhead. Just another example of how we don't all more »

Isaiah Washington Needs To Stick A Sock -- Or Some Other Implement -- In It

  • Isaiah Washington — for the love of God — please keep your mouth shut. The latest from everyone's favorite fired homophobe? That ABC lied when saying that he had gone to rehab since "there is no rehab for homophobia." (Thanks to Slut Machine for this awesome graphic.) [People]
  • New studies show that domestic cats are descended from 5 female cats from the Middle East's Fertile Crescent region, approx. 100,000 years ago. Middle East? Maybe this why they coined the term 'catfight'? [BBC]
  • God save the Queen! Literally! Buckingham Palace will crumble into decay unless immediate emergency repairs are made. [BBC]
  • Okay it's official: Every consumer product that comes from China is fucked. [CNN]
