VIDEO: Great Curb Your Enthusiasm Moments -- Popeater

http://www.popeater.com/2009/09/18/best-curb-your-enthusiasm-video-moments/ PopEater celebrate the return of Larry David and the seventh season of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Sunday night on HBO. We cannot wait to see how David's Seinfeld story line plays out. In honor of our favorite curmudgeon, we selected highlights from David's remarkable run. The list started off at 10 clips, but quickly became larger as we realized we couldn't leave any of these on the cutting room floor. We'll stress it in bold and CAPS: EXPLICIT, NON-PC, VULGAR, NOT SAFE FOR WORK, NOT SAFE FOR KIDDIES.

Front Row Washington » Blog Archive » Darth Vader, as played by Robert Gibbs | Blogs |

We saw a lot of photos over the weekend of President Obama and his wife, Michelle “Catwoman” Obama, handing out Halloween treats at the White House on Saturday night. But we didn’t see one of the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, who had dressed up as Darth Vader to join in the festivities. So check out the photo. He is without his glasses, so he probably couldn’t see a thing. We imagine it would be tempting for him to bring the light saber to his daily news briefing and zap offending questioners.
News has emerged of the latest threat to nature: drug-addled bees, hopped up on crack by crazed scientists. Some bee experts believe that cocaine could have "as devastating an effect on honey bee society as it does on human society". The scientists in question are Andrew Barron of Macquarie University in Australia and Gene Robinson of the University of Illinois, and some fellow bee and narcotics experts. The men, for reasons that seemed good to them at the time, got some bees hooked on cocaine and then turned them out to find some sugar. According to the boffins, cocaine turns good bees - productive members of the hive - into untrustworthy scumbags. The cocaine-addled insects would routinely exaggerate the quality of sugar or pollen they had found, lying to their fellow hive members through the medium of "waggle dancing", the standard method of describing one's work among bees. http://www.dosenation.com/listing.php?id=6703

Bees on cocaine: The facts

A Louisiana couple admitted giving an exotic bird to a woman in exchange for two children, a district attorney said Wednesday. Paul and Brandy Romero, of Eunice, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of sale of a minor, Evangeline Parish District Attorney Trent Brignac's office said in a statement. Their five-year prison sentences were suspended in exchange for their testimony against the woman accused of handing over the children, Donna Greenwell of Glenmora, the statement said.

Americana That Barack Obama Has Made Un-American - Barack Obama - Gawker

Even though he didn't deserve it, it's still awesome that Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, right? No, it's not. It used to be, but now that Barack Obama has done it, it's un-American. http://gawker.com/5378362/americana-that-barack-obama-has-made-un+american

Beck Tries to Kill Parody Website : Dispatches from the Culture Wars

I don't know if you've ever seen the Did Glenn Beck Rape and Murder a Young Girl in 1990 website , but it's fairly amusing. It's a political satire of the style of argument Glenn Beck likes to engage in, which involves requiring that someone prove a negative ("prove you didn't do X") and making claims in the form of an interrogative ("Hey, I'm just asking questions here. I'm not saying he did this. What's wrong with asking questions?").

Colmes' Liberaland » Andy Williams Thinks Obama Is A Marxist

http://www.alan.com/2009/09/29/andy-williams-thinks-obama-is-a-marxist/ From The Political Carnival , Andy Williams, of all people, is accusing President Obama of “following Marxist theory” and “wanting the country to fail.” Williams, a lifelong Republican whose hits include Moon River and Music To Watch Girls By, told the Radio Times he thought Mr Obama wanted to turn the US into a “socialist country”. The 81-year-old was a friend of the Kennedy family during the 1960s and was present at the Los Angeles rally where Robert F Kennedy was assassinated in 1968. Williams says he was also close to Ted Kennedy and was hit hard by his death, but the warm fuzzies he had for the Kennedys doesn’t extent to Obama. “Don’t like him at all,” he said, “I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very Left-wing.

Why I am not a libertarian

http://www.compulink.co.uk/~morven/libertarian.html
When conservative politicians speak of “protecting the family,” have you ever wondered who “the family” needs protecting from? Because I’m thinking it’s probably from themselves. A conservative California politician “who is the vice-chairman of the legislature’s commerce committee and a member of its ethics committee, is married with two children and is known as a staunch defender of conservative family values” got into trouble when he went on about his sexual exploits in front of a microphone he didn’t realize was on:

Just Another Conservative Politician Sex Scandal | Unreasonable Faith

Over the course of any given day, I'm responsible for a lot of words. As the executive editor of a magazine, an author, the owner of numerous Twitter accounts, a semi-regular Facebooker and an over-enthusiastic gabber, I create a whole lotta words. And for better or worse, I'm responsible for each and every one of them. If words have consequences, and they often do, I believe it is my responsibility to face them.

Off the record: Obama calls Kanye a "jackass"

"In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview . This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again ."
