Outdoor Campaign to Usher in Era of Peace
Just when you thought it was time to retire "Yes we can," the folks at Taxi, New York, would like to shove one more tagline into the political stratosphere. Paul Lavoie, the New York chairman and chief creative officer at the shop, has partnered with the Outdoor Advertising Association of America for a campaign dubbed "Vs. * Us." As in, America was "Vs." before Nov. 4 and is now "Us" after the election. Of course, as anyone who heard the resounding jeers whenever Sen. John McCain mentioned Sen. Bara

SARAH PALIN ‘DIDN’T KNOW AFRICA WAS A CONTINENT’
With the election now over, GOP insiders are now free to speak openly about the infighting within the McCain/Palin ticket. Among the gems that surfaced? GOP VP hopeful GOV. Sarah Palin didn’t know that Africa was a Continent, instead thinking it was one united country.  We dodged a serious bullet.

Quote of the Day: Beyoncé on Obama’s Win
“I’m there. I can’t wait. I feel like all of us, we’re ready to do whatever we have to do. Whatever they want—if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I’m there, and I’m ready. I’ve never been so patriotic! I’m just beyond excited.” –Beyoncé tells The Associated Press the day after Barack Obama’s historic win as the nation’s first elected black president. The 27-year-old also showed her respect for Senator John McCain a

'Battlestar Galactica' Items to Be Auctioned Off to Fans
Have you ever wanted to own Admiral Adama's painting of the first Cylon war?  Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to slip into Starbuck's Viper uniform?  Battlestar Galactica fans with some money to burn will soon get a chance to bid on these and other items from the hit Sci Fi Channel series.  NBC Universal has finalized plans to sell BSG props, costumes and set pieces in a special auction that will be held in Pasadena, CA on the weekend of January 16.  Over 800 items will be aucti

A Crisis Of Leadership
Republicans agree they need fresh, new leadership and an infusion of novel ideas, and they look to popular governors like Sarah Palin to show them a way “out of the wilderness.” [FOX News] John McCain decided in July that he needed to “shake up the race” by suddenly running a completely conventional Republican campaign. [Washington Post] The Republican base didn’t turn out on Tuesday. [ABC News] California’s newly passed gay marriage ban immediately faces legal challenges

Meet Your New White House Press Secretary
Ha ha, Robert Gibbs. The first time we saw him on the teevee, we immediately assumed that this smug chubby-faced white guy was a Republican. But whoops, no, he is a hilarious Democrat who grins his way through arguments with Sean Hannity and acted as Barack Obama’s communications director during the campaign. Now he will be the new Dana Perino. [Politico] Read More: Barack Obama Says '

South Park: “About Last Night”
This is the episode the South Park universe has been waiting to see, and given the hype surrounding it, it didn’t disappoint. Given the tone and tenor of the two campaigns and the people supporting the two candidates, it was a pleasant change of pace to get something a little more lighthearted that was non-partisan and mocked both sides. The Ocean’s 11 parody paid off well even if it was one of the more random pop culture inclusions they’ve ever had on this show. And somehow they managed

Saucy Sarah Palin Is Naughty
An in-depth look at John McCain's campaign in Newsweek's Special Election Project talks about the frustrations top advisers to the senator experienced with his flashy running mate Sarah Palin. According to the political mag, Palin's "profligacy" enraged staffers behind closed doors. "One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist," the article claims. "But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family--clot

Obama: Numbers Crunching
This is in response to those who have emailed me with their assertions that the “citizens of America” voted for Barack Obama by a landslide. The real numbers hardly support this. Black Americans make up 31% of registered voters. Only 13% of those voted for Obama Out of 300 million Americans, only 1/3 voted in this year’s election Out of that 1/3, only 63 million Americans voted for Obama. That’s 63 million out of 300 million Americans. Hardly a landslide Stocks fell ov

Did You Hear the One About Sarah Palin and the Towel?
That coming-soon expose about Sarah Palin and her egregious spending during the presidential campaign is certainly becoming a hot-ticket item, which makes us wonder how the guys over at the scrambling papers were able to round up these anonymous, disgruntled McCain staffers and get them to go on record. Sure, they are angry and out of work now, but it shouldn't be too hard to put the details together and get the names out of all the aides who spilled the beans on this article, and then try getting a jo

McCain vs. Palin
Check out this Fox News report describing many of the McCain campaign’s concerns about Sarah Palin.  Apparently, she can’t see Africa from her house!

We're Not the Only Ones Disgruntled at Sarah Palin's Political Ambitions
The claws are out. The race is over and now it's time for the finger-pointing at the Republican headquarters, made hard by the fact that the obvious scapegoat, Sarah Palin, is the candidate with too much at stake (Palin '12!!) to have the blame heaped as liberally on her as the McCain staffers would want. So some "anonymous" aides say that the Alaskan governor is two steps away from a Special-Ed program and that she undermined the whole campaign by taking one single prank phone call, w

Farewell, Tim Russert; Hello, Princess Leia
Anderson Cooper ended an interview with singer and Obama supporter Will.i.am, "Appreciate you being with us tonight by hologram." It was as if CNN had been bought by Lucasfilm. The mind reels at how news organizations might employ this technology in the future. Will we see holograms of reporters standing outside in hurricanes? In the end, the most striking images of Election Night 2008 were John McCain behind a podium, giving a strikingly gracious concession; the sea of emotional supporters in Grant Park;

Sarah Palin spent much more than 150k on clothes
Newsweek has some pretty juicy insider gossip in the gratefully now over contentious US Presidential election. The Huffington Post and US Weekly focus on Sarah Palin’s indiscretions, and they’re pretty damning. There are some minor tidbits on the Democrat’s side too. Newsweek claims Palin was like a kid in a candy store when the GOP started buying her clothing. She supposedly spent way more than just the $150,000 that was reported earlier, and even had her staffers buying stuff for her

Sarah Palin Did NOT Know Africa Is a Continent
Fox News’ Republican beat reporter Carl Cameron is letting the crazy outta the bag, revealing what his “off the record” sources have informed him about the tension that’s been a brewin’ between McCain staffers and super genius Sarah Palin. “We’re told by folks that she didn’t know what countries that were in NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement — that being the Canada, the US, and Mexico. “We’re told she didn’t understand th

The Republicans Are Now the Stupid Party
Obama's defeat of McCain and Palin has left the Republicans as more a sect than a party, corralled in a few Southern states. This is not good for the conservative movement, nor for democracy in America. So what went wrong for the GOP? On...

Sarah Palin 2012: Do Not Want
Not all of us can resist. Sarah Palin in 2012? No thanks! Please let this latest news tuck that Wasilla whack job away forever. As if her sheer Palinocity wasn't weird and wrong enough, now it turns out she was even nuttier than previously thought. Forget about the $150,000 the RNC coughed up for her shopping spree. According to Newsweek, that figure was grossly underestimated. Sources say the RNC agreed to pay Palin for three suits, a stylist, and a suit for her goateed husband. Turns

Fox News: Sarah Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent; why didn't we know this information sooner?
Where were the media on this story? Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent, Fox News reports. Wouldn't you have liked to know that information before voting? Critics have complained that the press was too rough on Palin. But close scrutiny comes when an unknown is thrust into the media spotlight so quickly. So we learned about shopping bills and Troopergate. And we got thorough reviews of Palin's interviews with ABC's Charles Gibson and CBS' Katie Couric. But the media weren't

Palin vs. McCain
Sarah Palin has denied reports that she's a "diva." Let's check that against the leaks now flowing freely from the McCain camp. The New York Times notes that as McCain prepared to deliver his concession speech, Sarah Palin turned up with a draft of her own speech. It was up to Mark Salter and Steve Schmidt tell her that their campaign wouldn’t be breaking with tradition and letting the veep candidate address the nation. The paper says that by the end McCain and Palin spoke only “occasionally,&rd

Oprah, Unleashed
Although it might seem like Oprah Winfrey was never "leashed" to begin with, she took the opportunity to really let loose on her post-election show yesterday. Sporting a t-shirt that said "Hope Won," Oprah told her audience, "During this long campaign, I made a vow in the beginning to not use my show as a platform, so I kept my mouth shut and supported Barack Obama as a private citizen. Today, though, the election is over, and I'm unleashed!" She also spoke directly to

Fox News: Sarah Palin "Didn't Understand Africa Was a Continent"
Now that the election is over, Fox News' Carl Cameron -- the beat reporter for the Republican presidential ticket -- says he is able to report on his "off the record" sources who told him there was great tension between McCain staffers and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. "There was great concern in the McCain campaign that Sarah Palin lacked the degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, and a heartbeat away from the presidency," he says in an interview (above). "We're told

Sarah Palin's Secrets
One would think that now that the election has come to a close, we no longer need to hash out Sarah Palin's… oddities. That would only really be true if she planned on heading back to Alaska and staying there. But no one, from her fans to her archenemies, believe that we've seen that last of her. Thanks to an upcoming expose in Newsweek (and Fox News), quite a bit of new, if unsurprising, information has come out about her since America voted. Here's a round-up: • She once greete

FOX NEWS: Sarah Palin Didn’t Know Africa is a Continent (Video)
The McCain camp went off the record during the campaign about Sarah Palin’s lack of knowledge regarding basically everything. And, now the dirt is flying since the campaign is over. Just wait to Sarah Palin fights back. It’s going to get really nasty!

Seth Meyers Talks Biden, SNL's Future
Barack Obama, John McCain, Sarah Palin and even Cindy McCain all appeared on Saturday Night Live during the campaign season...poor 'ol Joe Biden never got the invite though. Until now! Politico talked to the show's head writer, Seth Meyers, who told them: "Joe Biden is my biggest regret. I really wanted some quality Biden time. The door is still open, Joe." Meyers also added that on Tuesday night he "had an hour of goose bumps and then my natural cynicism kicked in. It’s not a great time to start being Pr
