She also made a slight dig at President Obama for saying Monday at Arlington National Cemetery that his “most solemn responsibility as president [is] to serve as commander in chief of one of the finest fighting forces in the world.” Answering a question about Memorial Day, Palin said, “This is the greatest fighting force in the world, the U.S. military. It’s not just one of the greatest...

As newly minted princess Kate Middleton greeted Michelle Obama in the ornate surroundings of Buckingham Palace Tuesday, it was hard to believe she was wearing a $340 dress from British retailer Reiss — a frock any commoner could buy.
Ah, yes. I’ll bet all those folks on the unemployment lines are wearing $340 dresses.

From “The Powerticians,” a history of Jersey City’s politicos in the 20th Century, comes this famous tale from the late ’40s. Then-Mayor John V. Kenny has called a press conference to announce he’s making some uneducated friend the Commissioner of Weights and Measures for Hudson County:

Because President Barack Obama is traveling in Europe, a White House official said the bill will quickly be signed into law using an autopen, a machine that replicates the president’s signature.
Fabulous. I didn’t realize presidents no longer had to sign bills for them to become law. Maybe we should just do away with government altogether?

“I do not want 16-year-old boys but younger. Fourteen-year-olds are O.K. Look for...”
– Father Riccardo Seppia, of Genoa, during a phone conversation with a Moroccan drug dealer. Allegedly.
Damn you, 1960s! If it weren’t for hippies, Catholic priests wouldn’t, 40 years later, be asking Moroccan drug dealers to find them needy boys with family issues to abuse.

Lights, Camera, Positive-Spin Action: Sarah Palin... →
It’s called “The Undefeated.”
Not really the title I would have picked for a doc about a Vice Presidential candidate who helped a black guy named Barack Hussein Obama win North fucking Carolina, and then quit half-way through her only term as governor because people were being mean to her.

“The main objective – not for the entire [album], necessarily, but for portions of it – is to be danceable,” he said. “I just want to make something that you love, driving around in your car listening or losing your mind to on a dance floor. Something to serenade us through these very, very troubling times.”
Thank you, Jesus! I adore his first three records almost from...
