North Korea To Eat Again!

Yo citizens! North Korea was just about to celebrate its 20th anniversary on our State Sponsors Of Terrorism list when Condi Rice went and pulled them abruptly off it. Now she's telling everyone we'll be sending them food and shit!! Megan is skeptical about this, but with food prices where they are right now and all the international finance institutions tipped off to North Korea's phony money and the lid blown off their whole deal with Syria, maybe Kim Jong Il himself started feeling hungry. I don't know, he's been hiding from he paparazzi lately, but it's a thought. Anyway, so you think ending the Cold War was a good idea? How do you chemically castrate someone? Why do some polls say Obama is like 29 points ahead and others say it's a tie? Now that the Supreme Court is starting to look like they're sort of "over" killing people, how'd they rule on the DC handgun ban? And now that he's dissed Scarlett Johansson, what beautiful and lofty thing will Obama sell out next? Those questions (and many dumber ones) answered after the jump. More »

"I Know: Barf." Truer Words Were Never Syndicated, Peggy!

"I know: Barf," writes Peggy Noonan in today's Journal, in the only good thing about having to do this crap the Friday before Memorial Day weekend and after another night of pointless inebriation. "One wants to be sympathetic to Mrs. Clinton at this point, if for no other reason than to show one's range," she continues, but then she's all, "Fuck that; the only thing I still believe from the Reagan era is that Geraldine Ferraro is an asshole, click Bill Kristol for 'range,' motherfuckers!" Megan and I parse Peggy's latest effort, Sex and the Sissy, and also talk crazy preachers, Bobby Jindal, why that Obama and the Jews story's placement in the top position on the Times Most Emailed List is not reflective of any actual electoral trends, and finally: Hillary as VP…is that really what we want? I know: Barf. More »

news roundup

Why The Sad Glare Of Resignation, Hillary? Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!

  • Hillary's push to seat Michigan and Florida despite Harold Ickes' vote to sanction the two states for holding their primaries early: breathtaking cynicism or heroic self-sacrifice? [TPM]
  • McCain rejected the endorsement of that pastor who called the Catholic Church "the great whore." I'm not getting something here. I mean, sure, everyone knows by now that "whore" is a slur suggestive of misogyny, but the "Great Sex Worker" just lacks a certain ring, you know? [CNN]
  • Anyway devout Catholic Bobby Jindal isn't letting the whole mess keep him away from McCain's running mate race! He's hanging out this weekend at the ranch with Charlie Crist (yikes! too much skin cancer for one presidential ticket!) and Mitt Romney. It's so Apprentice of them! And like, Bobby could tell the story of that time he witnessed an exorcism in the confessional…[AP]
  • Abstinence education: Ted Kennedy's brain tumor was probably caused by herpes. [Radar]

Future VP Bobby Jindal's College Girlfriend Possessed By Satan? Or Just Horny?

Meet Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal! He's the frontrunner to be the running mate to the presidential candidate closest to death, so it will surely please you to know that, in his brief 36-year life, he has endured many difficult things, including the presence of SATAN HIMSELF. Well, it was either Satan, or a melodramatic college junior whose desire to fuck him made him worry he was gay or something. But we're going to go with Satan, since he's running for vice president, and what better proof that the Devil Remains At Large than the current holder of the vice presidency? That said Bobby's story, written about an episode that took place while he was a rather Jesus-y undergrad at Brown University, sounds a little too much like an emotionally unavailable twentysomething dude's account of a relationship with girl with "drama" to be quite convincing.Watch Glamocracy Megan and I parse Bobby Jindal's satanic verses — and the gas tax holiday bullshit! — after the jump. Seriously, it is so much awesomer than Kucinich with the UFO. More »

Latest by n/a: @TaraIncognita: Lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this. Does the Republican Party have some sort of binding contract stating that Republican wives have to have hairspray at all times and wear frilly suits in public? more »

"But Now I've Had Enough. I Don't Want Turkey Anymore. I'm Full."

WHAM BAM. See that? It's today's New York Post. Are we there yet? Are you still reading? Hellooo, SinisterRouge? I bet you'd like to know what story led the paper, since Obama's HUUUUUGE WIN in yesterday's Beltway Belt primary was positioned bottom-right. So I'll tell you: it was a story called "Truth hurts: My secret S&M life." It's the story — I'm sorry, redundant, how bout TWISTED TALE — of a "kinky college professor" and the dominatrix (ooooh, good samaritrix!) with a heart of gold who saved him after a "colleague" nearly strangled him to death in the Nutcracker Suite of a Midtown Hotel. But it's really about one man's mortal struggle to overcome an addiction to a destructive habit. "It's like when you crave a turkey. You eat it and you eat it and you eat it, but you still want it." (See? It's about all of us.) "But now I've had enough. I don't want turkey anymore. I'm full." Do you see how this could sort of apply to you, me, Megan and this whole election horserace thing? We're full. But after the jump we'll be back to our gluttonous gorging over such irresistible topics as the Fair Tax, McCain's running mate and who the fuck are those 700 DC residents who voted for Mike Huckabee. Oh yeah, and skateboarders and puppies! More »

Latest by Kona: Moe, I grew up in Virginia too, and I don't think it's quite as red as you're making it out to be. The last two governors were democrats, and each presidential election seems to creep more and more towards the middle. more »
