No, this isn't a Leslie Knope stress dream: according to a new book about the 2012 Presidential election, some top White House aides thought it would be a good idea to replace Vice President Joe Biden with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a way to bolster Obama's floundering approval ratings. Imagine what…
Oh, Sean "Don't Worry, Frightened Elderlies, We'd Never Reelect a Colored!" Hannity. It pleases me to laugh at you! All the bizarre, insulated right-wing media rhetoric—which straight-facedly predicted a landslide win for Romney—is coming back to bite them where it hurts a conservative the most. In the dick money.
Good morning, little buddy! How ya feeling? If you celebrated the new year with most of America's drunkards, you probably feel like vommy, achy, swoony garbage. But why? What's happening to you? And what do you do now?
Well, it's that time of year again—time to say RIP to gross, rickety Old-Man-Baby New Year 2012 and mop up the afterbirth of red, slippery, mewling little new Baby New Year 2013. And with the flip-flapping of the calendar comes your weird superstitious notion that you're suddenly going to have the fortitude to do all…
Writer and internet fiend Greg Rutter has compiled a list of 66 webpages, sites, memes, and fascinations that you should enjoy before the clock strikes midnight on the 31st. So, you have about a week to truly live this year. ARE YOU WOMAN ENOUGH?
Is there any better way to go out at the end of 2012 than with a drag queen dressed as Azealia Banks? Miss Pepper Mint's "212" parody "21/12" makes us think not.
I only made it to the movie theater about five times this year — once to see Hunger Games, once to see Pitch Perfect and (this is preemptive) three times to see Les Mis back to back to back on Christmas Day. (Sorry, family!) That said, this supercut — containing over 50 of year's best movie trailers — makes 2012…
I THINK SO. I mean, I can't be sure. But he definitely said something about a cheeseburger and "finding someone special." Sooooo…I can read between the lines, Biden!!!
Well, the world might be in the shitter, but at least the future is bright! (Kind of. Except for all the parts that we're systematically covering in shit. But, you know.) In Nickelodeon's annual Kids Pick the President poll, our nation's wise young fake-voters fake-reelected Barack Obama by a landslide, and said…
I never disliked Eva Longoria, per se, but I never really liked her, either. I wasn't indifferent, but I also didn't quite know what to do with her. You know? She seemed like your typical pretty actress doing her pretty actress stuff with bouncy hair in shows I did not watch. I knew she was teeny and she married…
If all goes according to plan, come November, Wisconsin Rep. Tammy Baldwin will become the first openly LGBT person elected to the US Senate. But if all goes according to the, uh, Chick-fil-A agenda of one of her opponent's top aides, Baldwin will be defeated, because this one time in 2010, she danced onstage at a gay…
It's Day 3 of Olympic Thighlights and the competition is heating up! (Not really — when it comes to Thighlights, we are all winners.) Today, we take a dip in the pool, soar to new heights on the balance beam, witness some heavy lifting and much, much more. Let's get physical.
By now, Lady Romney's serene indifference to the world of –- oh, just about anybody who doesn't do horse ballet — has reached legendary status. On her privileged planet, income inequality is a noble thing and you get through college on your man's stock portfolio. For a tour of her best foot-in-mouth musings, we've…
The 2012 Summer Olympics have kicked off with bang, giving spectators around the globe the chance to cheer on our countries' best athletes as they compete in various feats of strength. Not only do the Olympics offer up the perfect opportunity to take in some magnificent demonstrations of athletic prowess, but they…
Irony of ironies: after being booed by an unimpressed crowd at the NAACP convention yesterday, Presidential candidate Mitt Romney turned around and tried to use those boos to get his rich white friends to give him more money at a fundraiser. "Support my run for President! Black people hate me!" And less than…
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has been awkwardly dancing all over opinion polls since it became clear that he was probably the best that Republican primary voters could do. And while different groups have different levels of regard for the GOP's candidate for President, one group is adamant in their…
Women. Can't live with 'em, can't judge 'em like they're a voting monolith. At least, that's what pollsters are finding. In fact, it looks like the much-ballyhooed, evasive, and coveted "women's vote" isn't really a persuadable demographic after all; if politicians want to change minds, they should work to appeal to a…
Some of you might have thought that President Obama has been campaigning by trying to tell people what he wants to do with this country, but if you believe what Ann Romney has to say about his strategy, it turns out he's actually secretly been trying to convince us to not vote for Mitt Romney. Bananas!
Their husbands may be going to head-to-head in a battle for control of the free world, but Ann Romney and Michelle Obama are right now locked in a heated fight of their own…the battle for cookie recipe supremacy. Oh Christ, are you serious? Yes, yes, it's that special time when the First Lady and her rival are forced…
Mitt Romney and all of his rich Republican friends got together this past weekend in Utah to pal around and talk about the things rich people talk about. (Horses, horses, horses!) At this gathering, Condoleezza Rice gave a speech that very much impressed all of the big wigs, and immediately everyone was desperate for…
