Politics Buzz Our country's staunchest line of defense against Russia says she'll be stepping down as Governor of Alaska and not seeking re-election. Happy birthday, America! No announcement from her office as to why; we have to assume it's so she can pursue a career in film.
Sarah Palin is running for president, so she allowed a running magazine to photograph her in various “athletic” poses. I honestly wouldn't have believed these were real if I hadn't read about that stupid “racing Obama” comment. The Trig photo is just…wow.
Fox News calls for Osama to attack us. Otherwise those hippies in the highest offices are going to let their guards down leaving us open for another attack. Wait a minute…
Grab your hammer and sickle. Colmes starts right now. There's no way this really aired on Fox News….

The courts finds that “Al Franken received the highest number of votes legally cast and is entitled under Minn. Stat. § 204C.40 (2008) to receive the certificate of election as United States Senator from the State of Minnesota.” This means that when Franken is ultimately seated, the Democrats will have 60 seats and be able to beat any Republican foes.
And (surprise!), he remains entirely charming. I will not make a Lame Duck joke! You can't make me.
Politics Buzz The Stupidest Politician of the 21st Century (to date) allegedly made a sex tape with his New-Agey mistress Rielle Hunter. If this really exists, I hope Elizabeth Edwards goes back on Oprah to do a live reaction video, or whatever else will shame John while making things more awkward than they already are.
Rapper Hurricane Chris showed up in at the Louisiana House of Representatives and performed his hit song “Halle Berry.” Whether or not he was actually invited, nobody really knows.
Politics Buzz Today is the first Green Friday in support of the Iranian protests for a fair election. If you're wearing green today, take a picture and post it on this thread!
Then the president checks her out. It's incredibly cute. And festive! (Note: Embedding disabled, click on the video to watch. Cool.)

Politics Buzz Now that the Runaway Governor has admitted he had an affair, everyone's wondering about his wife, Jenny.
Politics Buzz So it turns out good ole' Mark Sanford was having an affair! In Argentina! These details came out after Sanford disappeared for 5 days, leaving his wife and staff completely in the dark as to his whereabouts. The woman has so far only been identified as a “dear, dear friend from Argentina.”
The youngest Jonas showed up in our nation's capital today to testify about diabetes. People went wild, especially the children, one of whom fainted. The political people are having a banner fucking day, huh?

Politics Buzz An extremely graphic video of a 27-year-old woman killed in the streets during an Iranian protest is now all over YouTube. People are comparing her to the Tank Man, and others are understandably upset that the video is even online. Obvious-but-necessary warning: the video (below) is incredibly disturbing. Watch with care.
John Hodgman administered a lengthy test at last night's Radio and TV Correspondents' Dinner to determine the authenticity of your President's nerdiness. Between the Superman photo and the Blackberry holster, I think it's pretty real.
On the other side of the “The Internet Made The Iran Opposition Possible” coin, we have the Google context ads. This is as good a time as any to plug the Twitter Location/TimeZone change, if you are into that sort of thing (that being Twitter).
This image, supposedly of a large Pro-Ahmadinejad Rally in Iran, has been very clearly tampered with to show more support for the current president than their actually is.
