Donald Trump. Listen. I don’t want to get political. We can all agree that you are fundamentally a ideology-free narcissist piece of shit. Well have I got a deal for you.
Following nearly five decades in power, Fidel Castro, the former Cuban president, has died at the age of 90. El Commandante, whose 1959 revolution overthrew the American-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista, survived some 638 attempts on his life devised by the CIA and Cuban exiles.
Nothing stokes the fires of Senator Rand Paul’s righteous, curly indignation like socialism, which he thinks is bad, and— this is true— unsexy. But he admits that democratic socialist Bernie Sanders probably won’t go on a killing spree, unlike, say, Stalin. But can... we... be... sure?
Bernie Sanders: impassioned speaker, humble Vermonter, white-haired enemy of the banks. Skilled woodsman. Monogam-ish. Turns into a bear when he’s horny.
Soledad O'Brien has just about broken the on a roll sound barrier over the last couple of weeks. For most TV journalists, getting Romney mouthpiece John Sununu Rumpelstiltskin-level mad and then reducing Tim Pawlenty to asking her if she understood English would be enough to coast on Gabby Douglas interviews for the…
Frustrated by an inability to get people's attention, one Mexican Congressional candidate took matters into her own hands. And by "matters," I mean "breasts." And by "into her own hands," I mean "up on a series of billboards."

• As part of a temporary exhibit, the Secession building in Vienna has incorporated a swinger's club into the work. Although the swingers aren't there during the day, their mattresses, erotic pictures, and whirlpools are. •
No, not her. Us Weekly claims Angelina Jolie "hates" Obama. A "source" says, "She's into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise." [Us]
If you believe John McCain, this is what we'll have to look forward to after Tuesday: Socialist Fashion! “Beyond Espionage: Fashion under Socialism”, hits Victoria & Albert Museum this week, and studies the role of Eastern European fashion in Cold War propaganda and society.

In concert with last night's infomercial designed to appeal to independents, Barack Obama decided to throw a bone to his base by appearing on the Daily Show. And it was admittedly adorable: maybe it's the semi-comfortable lead he has on McCain, but Obama seemed really at ease in his own skin. He even joshed about his…
Spain's pinko prime minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has just begun his second term, and his commitment to gender parity in government is unparalleled: For the first time, women outnumber men 9 to 8 in the Spanish cabinet.
