I'm so lucky I didn't grow up in the South
Or else I’d have to deal with nonsense like this:
Community members are rallying around Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School cheerleaders after they were banned from displaying signs with Bible verses urging fans and players to “commit to the Lord” and “take courage and do it.” The banners — the paper ones that football players crash through at the beginning of games — have been common...
The Onion: Cat Congress Mired in Sunbeam →
This one’s a winner:
WASHINGTON—The current session of the 111th Cat Congress was once again suspended Tuesday following the sudden introduction of a sunbeam onto the Senate floor, a development that has left a majority of transfixed lawmakers unable to move forward.
…
The sunbeam marked the fourth event to suspend congressional activity this week. According to sources, other...

I am really going to do my best not to support any of these people ever again. That includes Diane von Furstenberg.
OF COURSE Woody Allen is on that list. But Wes Anderson? Martin Scorsese? Steven Soderbergh? It seems odd to me that Polanski has so many mainstream people supporting him. Are there some weird extenuating circumstances that we don’t know about? Because...

WatchI forgot that I also enjoyed this brief party chat line sketch. Funny! And accurate!
WatchThis Transformers digital short was the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal premiere of SNL.
Obviously the writers are using up all their funny for the Thursday Update specials.
I just found out something very disturbing
This is flabbergasting:
With its first major nomination [Family Guy] pulled off something even the longer-running “Simpsons” couldn’t, becoming the first animated show in the Emmy comedy category since “The Flintstones” back in 1961.
This is really a travesty. Family Guy at its best was still never as good as even a mediocre season of The Simpsons.
Oh my God... "The Cleveland Show" is terrible
Seth MacFarlane needs to be stopped.
WatchThis video is a little eerie. Obama’s smile doesn’t change at all.
Tomorrow’s headline at World Net Daily - “Obama: Socialist Muslim Robot from Kenya?”
WatchStephen Colbert tackles the “Is opposing Obama racist?” debate in what might be the ballsiest 6 minutes of comedy I’ve seen in years.
“I don’t know the question, but sex is definitely the answer.”

“That witch needs to eat a cheeseburger. She is too skinny.”

BA-ZING!

The Bible-thumping wackjobs Values Voters held a conference over the weekend, and hilarity ensued:
In an infamous moment at the Values Voter Summit over the weekend, captured on video by Dave Weigel, Sen. Tom Coburn’s (R-OK) chief of staff Michael Schwartz made the case against pornography. “All pornography is homosexual pornography,” said Schwartz, quoting an ex-gay friend...
Hey iPhone users...
I’m finally joining your cult this week.
Anyone have any tips? Good apps/games to download? Do I need a case? Is reception really as bad as everyone says?

I called it nine months ago. The “Reunion” episode of 30 Rock is one of the funniest half hours of television ever (or at least since they canceled Arrested Development).
And now it has been Emmy-certified:
Matt Hubbard took home the award for writing for a comedy series for the “30 Rock” episode “Reunion” — although in that category, at least, “30 Rock” had a leg up. It had...
“Barack Obama, bourgeois in every way that bourgeois is right and just, will not...”
– (Ta-Nehisi Coates via Andrew Sullivan)
That really is the brilliance of Obama. The right wing would love it if he were the stereotypical Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson “aggrieved black man.” That’s certainly what they try to demonize him as. But Obama doesn’t fit that mold,...
