Albert Haynesworth, Victim

He’s 6-foot-6, 335 pounds, a former first-round draft pick and two-time All-Pro. Yet the Washington Redskins’ defensive end is a victim of . . . err, discrimination: Washington Redskins player Albert Haynesworth has been indicted on one charge of sexual abuse after a Feb. 13 incident at the W Hotel, in which he allegedly fondled […]

How About Those Hats, Huh?

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice — the daughters of Prince Andrew and Fergie — upstaged their cousin William at the royal wedding when they appeared in truly spectacular hats. Eugenie’s hat looked like a spotted owl feasting on plums, or perhaps a squirrel stuck in a rose bush, while Bea’s hat inspired comparisons to the Flying Spaghetti […]

Is Politico Trying To Build Support For Governor Sarah Palin?

by Smitty (h/t DaTechGuy) Really. What dreck. Politico begins an article with two lines of slander, and then walk it back with “Those are just some of the opinions about Sarah Palin held by members of a small but extremely active network of gadflies, bloggers and authors who have devoted much of the last 2½ […]

‘The Return to TV of One of America’s Most Gifted Thinkers and Communicators’

Which is to say, a new cable show for Keith Olbermann: Keith Olbermann’s new show on Al Gore’s Current TV will have the same name as his old one on MSNBC — Countdown With Keith Olbermann. It will also air in Olbermann’s old 8 PM slot beginning June 20, 2011. Olbermann abruptly left MSNBC in […]

Gold Tops $1,500 Per Ounce: Now Don’t You Wish You’d Listened to Glenn Beck?

If De Niro Were A Bigger Hen,
His Name Would Be Penn,
Or He’d Work For CNN

by Smitty De Niro: let us enjoy your movies. Let not your brand be watered down by inane piffle, emphasis mine: “I think of the possibility of the government being shut down, and I say, ‘How did we get to this point?’” he said, according to Movieline. “I remember it happened years ago. And I […]

‘His Typical Silly-Bitch Passive-Aggressive Gay-Gossip Insinuation Act’

Andrew Sullivan gets a memorable beatdown from Ace of Spades, after Sully returned to old habits in reaction to Justin Elliott’s debunking of Trig-Trutherism at Salon. A couple days ago, I was interviewed by a reporter who is working on a story about Trig-Trutherism and other anti-Palin memes that have circulated over the past two-and-half years.

Steven Crowder and Susannah Fleetwood on Making Fun of Retarded People

And by “retarded people,” of course, we mean . . . Wonkette: That’s the best work by Crowder I’ve seen yet, and Susannah Fleetwood has an excellent post: “3 Reasons Why Wonkette Self-destructed by Publishing a Hit Piece on Trig Palin.” Let’s face it, folks: When it comes to exposing liberal media bias, Trig Palin […]
