There’s a chance Obama could be making a future appearance on the show Black-ish. Anthony Anderson told E! he was petitioning for the president and first lady to guest star. “They watch the show.

Barack Obama has been in Alaska for three days and is basically treating it like his senior year spring break, by getting plastered (probably), taking selfies, getting jizzed on (by a fish) and dancing in places you’re not supposed to dance.

As part of his visit to Alaska, Barack Obama made a trip to the far-north fishing village of Dillingham, where a salmon squirted “milt” onto his shoes. That’s a “sperm-containing fluid.” Yup, that fish essentially splooged all over the President’s shoes.

Last night, President Obama assured us that our government has the right to act "unilaterally" and "relentlessly" to shut down terrorist networks who pose a direct threat to us.

My fellow Americans, welcome to Jezebel's State of the Union liveblog.

We already know what the centerpiece of President Obama's State of the Union address will be tonight: tax hikes on wealthy couples making over $500,000 a year. That's great. Tax 'dem couples. Tax 'em until they have to shave off a week from their kid's summer-long stay at an equestrian camp in the Adirondacks so…
