This whole Mitt Romney releasing his taxes is going to get ugly fairly quickly and it’s only going to get worse the more Democrats and the media pile on the issue. Which they should, partially as payback for all the piling on conservatives did for Obama’s birth certificate, but also because who the hell wants [...]
Sarah Silverman one ups her “Great Schlep” of 2008 with a $100 million proposition for a top Romney donor by offering to scissor him with bikini bottoms on. [via dailywhat]
Meth auteur Walter White (Bryan Cranston in character) endorses Maxwell Ulin in an election for Student Body President at the Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in L.A. Rumor has it, there’s another video of Gus Fring endorsing the other candidate, Summer Kennedy. All of the videos have been made private by the school (Watch [...]
Sacha Baron Choen, aka Admiral General Aladeen, congratulates Francois Hollande on defeating Sarkozy, whom he refers to as “a midget.” Not that it matters, The Dictator is more of a DSK guy. Obviously. I love how Cohen continues to try and blur the lines between real life and his movie in the name of promotion. [...]

Cloxboy’s tribute to Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic is just one of three posters revealed to date. The other two are takes on Captain America and 2001: A Space Odyssey. More than the posters, [...]
Quick question: If you’re Rick Santorum, GOP presidential hopeful, and your name doubles as a meaning for “the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex,” is it wise to make a campaign commercial where a fake-Mitt Romney wields a machine gun firing rounds of Santorum?

The political drama stars Ed Harris as John McCain, Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin, and Woody Harrelson as campaign strategist Steve Schmidt. It’ll air March 10th, at 9p.m. on HBO. [...]
Last Thursday, Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci made the observation that the GOP debates have lasted longer that the television runs for Freaks & Geeks, Firefly, and Arrested Development. It was a pretty funny and clever observation. Is it a coincidence, or suspicious that Mediate’s Philip Bump then made the same observation without crediting Faraci the [...]
