Obama finally got around to erasing George W. Bush’s Oval Office decor. The centerpiece of the renovation is the new rug, featuring five of Obama’s favorite historical quotes embroidered around the border: “The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear Itself” – President Franklin D. Roosevelt “The Arc of the Moral Universe is Long, But it Bends Towards Justice” – Martin Luther King, Jr. ...

(via frangry) So, according to Screech: Kelly was banging Zack and Slater… then Jessie started banging Zack and Slater… then Lisa started banging Zack and Slater.  Screech banged 2000 women, including one female NBC executive. A male NBC executive was having threesomes with Zack and Kelly. The guy who ran The Max was banging Neil Patrick Harris (and doing magic tricks with him). ...

jennyjenny-bo-benny: Vegetable Butcher. Okay, the vegetable butcher sounds a little ridiculous: If you’re not familiar with how to trim an artichoke, we’ll trim you an artichoke. If you don’t think you have time to peel your baby carrots, you can leave them with us and go shop in the other parts of the store, and we’ll peel them. We’ll do anything but cook them. On your way out, we’ll...

This is pretty legendary: An Oregon State University offensive lineman has been dismissed from the team after police say they found him naked and intoxicated in a stranger’s home and had to use stun guns to take him into custody. Corvallis police say they received the call about a naked intruder early Sunday. Responding officers ordered 19-year-old Tyler Patrick Thomas of Kalispell, Mont.,...

Man, I am in a foul mood today.
I don’t know where all this vitriol is coming from. It feels good to vent, though.

Fuck cultural relativism
This is barbaric and disgusting: After the Taliban proclaimed the sentence, Siddiqa, dressed in the head-to-toe Afghan burqa, and Khayyam, who had a wife and two young children, were encircled by the male-only crowd in the bazaar. Taliban activists began stoning them first, then villagers joined in until they killed first Siddiqa and then Khayyam, Mr. Khan said. No women were allowed to...

– Peter Feld Couldn’t have said it better myself.  What’s being lost in this whole debate is that we were not attacked by Islam on 9/11.  We were attacked by Al Qaeda, a radical offshoot of Islam. Linking the Cordoba Initiative with Al Qaeda is the equivalent of linking Pope Benedict to...

brooklynmutt: Cinn. Reds and Stl. Cards go at it after Brandon Phillips and Yadier Molina exchange words in the first inning. I can’t believe the Reds are tied in the division with these assholes now.

Best. Job Quitting. EVER.
They should give this guy a medal: A flight attendant ran out of patience on a plane that just landed at JFK on Monday afternoon, so he allegedly cursed a blue streak over the P.A. system, grabbed some beers, pulled the emergency chute, slid down and ran from the plane, sources said. How can the story get any better than that? Slater was later arrested at his home in Belle Harbor by Port...

– In online dating…who taught men that sending photos of their penis was appropriate? Do a lot of guys do this? I’ve never had the urge to send pictures of my genitals to anyone. Also, exit question: Can’t they think of anything sexier than a remote control?  An iPhone maybe?

Happy birthday, Mr. President: According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, more than a quarter of the public have doubts about Obama’s citizenship, with 11 percent saying Obama was definitely not born in the United States and another 16 percent saying the president was probably not born in the country. Forty-two percent of those questioned say they have absolutely no ...

Author to women: Let your man cheat
I wonder how many married guys are printing this out and accidentally leaving it in a place where their wives will find it? Could letting your man sleep with another woman help your relationship? Author and former mistress Holly Hill thinks so. “One of the main things that I have learned is that a woman that negotiates infidelity with her partner is far more powerful than a woman who...
