Talk to the Hand: Robert Gibbs is either a mad jovial fellow, has landed his dream job, or both. Probably both.
Robert Gibbs is having a good couple of weeks, at least according to his mood. By now you’ve undoubtedly read about Sarah Palin cheating on the big exam, to which our Press Secretary In Chief had this response:
That’s “Milk, Eggs, Bread, Hope and Change.”
I like it. We need a little less Tony Snow and a [...]

Early Exits [Part 2]
Arizona Senate

A thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters…
…Probably could have drawn the conclusion posited by Nicole M. LaVoi on Women Talk Sports, that — hold on to your butts — Sports Illustrated objectifies women!
Well yeah, no shit.
The subject is Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, who I’m told is very good at skiing and who is also quite attractive. She’s featured on this month’s [...]

How in the holy fuck could this have happened?
Someone please help me understand this one, which I picked up from Fail Blog and was SURE it must be a hoax of some kind, but a little scan of the IRS Web site confirms, at least, that these passages exist, even if they are the product of some kind of prank. From Publication 17, [...]
