Angelina Jolie’s Leg Wins Best PR Stunt

Actress Angelina Jolie made rather a thing out of sticking her exceptionally slim and white leg out of her exceptionally long and black dress at the 2012 Academy Awards show - even while presenting an award for something or other. Now what are people talking about around the water cooler? Meryl Streep? We don't think so.
Scorsese Screwed Again At Oscars(TM)

Director Martin Scorsese vents his spleen at the 2012 Academy Awards. "The Actor", a gimmicky silent film shot in pseudo-black-and-white was awarded Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Scorsese's breathtaking film "Hugo" won 5 awards for stuff like best cinematography, best art direction, best sounding edit, best sound mixing, and best visual effects, like anybody gives a rat's ass about that crap.

A Pledge
You hear them say it almost every day: “As President on day one I’ll repeal Obamacare” or “When I’m President I’ll cut Planned Parenthood’s funding on day one” or “On day one I’ll have Nancy Pelosi abducted and dumped in the ocean”.
But can they really do that stuff? Well, no, according to this article:
For all candidates, it is important to note that an executive order cannot overrule a law passed by the Senate and House and signed by a former president. Therefore, though a candidate may want to abolish the Affordable Care Act with the stroke of a pen, it would take a full-fledged bill to do that.

The FBI says Meredith Lowell, 27, of Cleveland, solicited for a contract killer to murder someone wearing fur. According to court records Lowell wanted the victim to be at least 12 years-old and she wanted to be present at the killing so she could distribute literature afterward. She offered as much as $850 for the job.
There’s no joke here, just the obvious point that the belief animals have rights is a form of mental illness.

Santorum Paints Himself As Dangerous Lunatic – Rises In Polls

After a week of revealing just how much his Catholic beliefs inform his politics, and comparing President Obama to Hitler, and saying that science is worthless, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum has risen to the top of the polls. Which tells you a lot about how desperate the average Republican voter has become with regards to the quality of the presidential field.
Introducing “Where Are They Now?”

We kick-off “Where Are They Now?” with the biggest murder trial of the latter half of the tenth decade of the 20th century: The O.J. Simpson Trial.

Obama Campaign Manager Criticized For “Chimichanga” Tweet

Jim Messina, President Obama's campaign manager and formerly of pop-duo "Loggins and Messina", quoted a remark made by the Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, which was partly a reference to a quote from Arizona Senator John McCain, saying "The chimichanga? It may be the only thing Republicans have left to offer Latinos." Conservative Latino groups - well, there's one - want Messina to apologize for the insensitivity of his quote of Dana Milbank referencing John McCain. Got that?

GOP Congress Gives-In To Obama On Payroll Tax

Republican congressional leaders dropped their opposition to renewing the existing payroll tax cut. President Obama says the tax cut is a key element of his economic recovery plan. The GOP had previously insisted the tax cut should be offset by spending cuts, putting them in the awkward position of being against tax cuts that help business.
Wait A Second….
Everyone who is working themselves into a depressive frenzy wailing over Whitney Houston drowning in a bathtub full of her own vomit please stop and give a thought to, say, all those people in Syria who are being slaughtered by their own government, or the soldiers who just died in Afghanistan for no really good reason, or really just about anyone who wasn’t a pampered pop star who made bad choices and are responsible for their own tragic demise, but are instead victims of an unjust and uncaring world.

Beach Boys Reunite For Grammy Awards Show

The Beach Boys celebrated their 50th anniversary as a band with a reunion performance of "Good Vibrations" on the 2012 Grammy Awards program, even though for most of those years they performed without songwriter Brian Wilson who was busy being extremely mentally ill, mainly due to the abusive treatment he received from his psycho father. So perhaps "celebration" should be taken in a metaphorical context.

Clint Eastwood Supports Simpson-Bowles Plan

Director Clint Eastwood says the government needs to take another look at the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan. Prepared under the auspices of President Obama, the plan recommends that spending not exceed 21% of gross domestic product. It listed specific government programs to cut, and recommends an overhaul of the tax code.
Academy Award(TM)(R)(C) winning actor and director Clint Eastwood says he thinks it’s time to take another look at the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan.
“I don’t know why the President asked O.J. and that other guy to come-up with it in the first place, if he isn’t going to push for it” Eastwood said. “It’s simple: say you have some kids in the neighborhood that are selling drugs and raping and looting…you could molly-coddle them and put them in some government program. Or you can fill them full of 44-magnum-sized holes and fix the problem once and for all. And that’s what Simpson-Bowles does: it’s a large-caliber solution, it’s bloody and extreme, and blows the deficits whole head clean off.”
