Comedian Russell Brand was invited to appear on MSNBC's Morning Joe yesterday, ostensibly to talk about his controversial world comedy tour Messiah Complex.
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are both pretty accomplished media powerhouses. So it makes sense that in a photo of the two of them featured in this month's Vanity Fair, they'd both be posed similarly. Ha! Just kidding. They put Mika on a tabletop kicking her leg in the air and gazing back inscrutably at Joe, who…
Last night, news broke that Yahoo's new CEO — former Google fixture Marissa Mayer — is six months pregnant. Her new employer was fully aware of the pregnancy when they brought her on, and did it anyway. They didn't care. Zero fucks given.

The woman who tried to set a news brief about Paris Hilton on fire
Sarah Jessica Parker wants to talk about Joe Scarborough's political ideology. Also, she thinks he's in love with Obama. What was that about her new movie? "It's far less interesting than this conversation," Parker said on MSNBC this morning.

Since members of GOP can't exactly win elections, change the minds of voters or influence policy, they've got time on their hands, so they're learning Photoshop and politics along with HuffPo's Jason Linkins and I. (But we're better at both.)
Elaine Donnelly is a crazy right-wing lady who hates the idea of gays in the military so much that she just can't stop thinking about all the perverted things they do to one another and how other completely heterosexual people like her might get caught up in homosexual behavior.
