Chris Rock and Nia Long Talking Race with a Baby Doll
by zaller
Chris Rock has a new film called GOOD HAIR, which discusses the culture of hair within the African-American community. The film is a funny and informative snapshot of the subject. I decided to bring an African-American baby doll to see what, if any, stereotypes I could dispel.
Obama Receives Record Number of Birthday Cards
by Champs O'Fallon
President Obama had more to celebrate than his birthday on August 4th. According to John Masters, head of the White House mail room, Obama broke the record for number of Birthday cards received by a President. Obama received an astounding 4,761 pieces congratulating him on his 48th birthday.
“Since President Obama took office, we have seen a spike in the number of letters addressed to the White House, but nothing prepared us for this.” said Masters. The original record stood at a meager 2,651 pieces of mail addressed to President John Kennedy. “JFK was quite the ladies men. Up until about ten years ago, some of the photos sent to him were still taped up in the men’s bathroom of our office. But these letter’s are more than just nudie pics doused in perfume. ”
Transformers 2: Ingenious Political Allegory?
by Thane Economou
Some people say that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a stupid, terrible, mindless, ridiculous, awful movie. And to those people I say: yes, you are correct.
But upon reflection of Michael Bay’s newest feature film mind explosion, I found this movie may be a thinly veiled political allegory. A defense of the American presence in Iraq, as well as an argument against any of Obama’s intentions of removing our troops.
Never believe for one moment that Michael Bay is an idiot. His films are blockbusters, making billions of dollars. Our own United States economy is suffering. This makes Michael Bay more intelligent than anyone on Capitol Hill, by my estimations.
Rush Limbaugh: Deep Throat of the Next Generation
by Gabriel Grossman
Yesterday on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh went so far as to blame Barack Obama for South Carolina governor Mark Sanford’s marital infidelity and general flakiness. Limbaugh, who seeks constantly to outdo himself, went one step further today, when he pinned the blame of the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett on none other than President Obama.

The Return of the Fly
by Gabriel Grossman
Since November, the Republicans have been hard at work to find the perfect strategy for bringing down the Democratic Machine which they see rebuilding in front of their very eyes. First there was Cheney: his incessant and point-by-point contradictions of the president made no mark. Karl Rove’s old tactics just wouldn’t cut it—they needed something new, something deft, something so brilliantly simple that they’d take down the White House from the inside out. What they came up with may shock you: they have transposed Dick Cheney’s verbal pandering onto the simple house fly.
You may have, in the past few days, come across a video of the president’s massacre of a fly while in an interview with CNBC. In case you haven’t, voila:
What you do not know is the nefarious scheming that went behind this action. National Lampoon has obtained a recent memo of the Republican National Committee. In it, the RNC details a divisive and devious plot to undercut Obama’s liberal support. The main ploy: the fly.
This was no ordinary fly you saw in that video: no, it was an operative of the Republicans, shrunk down to 1/100th of an inch with the help of Rick Moranis, placed in a nanorobot made to look like the size of a fly. Michael Steele’s frontin’—the budget of the RNC has been placed almost entirely in these little fly machines, built to pester the president.
But that is not the main purpose of the fly: no, it goes much deeper than that. This morning, PETA sent a complaint to the president, stating their wish that he had not annihilated the beast with his cat-like reflexes. By killing that fly, Obama undercut his authority with a section of his liberal base. He’s stepped onto a slippery slope, from which he will not be able to recover.
You may be asking yourselves, what is the point? Surely no one else will care. But no: it has been arranged for the fly to make appearances at certain Obama administration events. If Obama makes an appearance at a church—the fly will be there for Obama to swat. This time, it won’t be so easy: he may miss his mark, slap the preacher in the face, and BAM! Fox News talking points for two weeks. Obama’s picking up lunch at a burger joint, fly shows up. He goes in for the kill, misses his mark, and slaps a worker in the face.
The Republicans assume, of course, that Obama will miss his mark. Maybe they should have considered humiliating Joe Biden, if that’s even possible
