This is a somewhat astounding video in which real live elected members of Congress refuse to admit Obama's citizenship. Then they pretty much all run away. It feels like Mitch Hurwitz is behind this, but really it is just democracy!
Culture Buzz The Christian social worker deceived legions of loyal readers after blogging about being pregnant with a terminally ill baby - whom she planned to keep to term - before revealing it was all a hoax in the name of pushing her own pro-life agenda. Before apologizing on her blog, Beushausen posted pictures of her “baby,” which readers recognized as a doll. And, yes, the baby was, in fact, sold to her by our favorite company.
Here's a video of that neighbor you've never actually seen pretending to cook his cat. Can animal rescue groups trace YouTube users in real life? We may have a case here.

Fred Phelps's Westboro Baptist Church has issued their annual Christmas carol, this time set to the tune of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” (except here, Jolly St. Nick is actually a hellbound “fag”). And you thought your relatives were nuts!

Jezebel's flawless roundup of the most cuckoobananas lady celebs on the planet. Honorable mentions, in our humble opinion: Sally Kellerman, Jackie Stallone, and Carrie Fisher (although, to be fair, she knows she's bonkers.
Is your president-elect an eloquent speaker or a secretly manipulative hypnotist, asks this creepy video that compares him to, er, Hitler. There are some crazy people, and then there are CRAZIES. This, folks, is the latter.
Pfizer is suing a man who was caught driving through Manhattan with a big, fake missile emblazoned with the words “Viva Viagra.” Self-proclaimed “crazy redneck Jew” Arye Sachs proudly touted, “I’m not only a defendant, I’m a customer.” (No, he really did.)
Culture Buzz Berkeley, California’s annual crazy parade takes place later this week, and will be replete with art cars and all of the city’s kookiest characters (read: everyone). The festival only further proves my thesis that Berkeley is the best place to play “Hobo or Hippie?” (via Laughing Squid)
Despite having served his “lengthy sentence” for sexual abuse against children, mentally ill, unapologetic pedophile Geoffrey Leonard walks free in Australia and appears to like the attention. Chris Hansen, eat your heart out. Not only is there another clean-cut journalist/children’s advocate hungry to humiliate pedophiles on camera, but he’s crazy hot. (And the accent doesn’t hurt, either.)
This dog is attacking you. If you’re not scared, you should be! Look, there’s another one in the background waiting to pounce!!
Tech Buzz A YouTube phenomenon in which men (lead by creepy trio Steve, Bill, and Dwayne) blame women for forcing them into lives of solitude. With a first Black president becoming an increasingly visible possibility, isn’t it time we take a step back to question stuff like, you know, suffrage?
Science Buzz Jeff Peckman of Denver is lobbying city officials to establish an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in preparation for alien contact. In fact, he’s apparently got exclusive video footage proving their existence, but we can’t see it yet because it’s being used in a forthcoming documentary. Peckman’s video allegedly shows a four-foot tall creature popping up outside a window, blinking. So, congratulations, Jeff Peckman! You’ve started your very own Groundhog Day, but with aliens and for crazy people!
Movie Buzz David O. Russell, famous for his profanity-laced, set-destroying tirade against Lily Tomlin and his fistfight with George Clooney, is at it again. The volatile director’s heavy-handed tactics prompted James Caan to storm off the set of his latest film, the political comedy Nailed, after a dispute over a cookie, and caused star Jake Gyllenhaal to have a temper tantrum of his own.
Celebrity Buzz John Cusack’s stalker is back in the headlines. Ignoring a restraining order Cusack took out against her a few years ago, Leatherman took a cab to the actor’s house but was picked up by police after she couldn’t pay the fare and Cusack spotted her. Oh, she also likes to stalk Tom Cruise!
Tech Buzz The online community whose focus on fitness reads more like a cultlike obsession receives attention in an unflattering New York Times piece. Does using the Stairmaster really make us, in CrossFit’s opinion, “chumps”? Perhaps, but we like our old lady-style gym routine just fine, thank you very much.
Culture Buzz The washed-up comedian - famous mostly for smashing stuff - recently played a show in New York to scathing reviews that labeled him “racist” and “crazy”. Although, if you built a career on melons (and you’re not Pamela Anderson), you’d probably have gone bonkers by now, too.
Celebrity Buzz Forensic scientists have digitally aged Britney Spears to show what she’ll look like in middle age. The results aren’t pretty. The technique is meant to help catch criminals, but in their spare time, compositors have also aged dead celebrities such as Elvis Presley, JonBenet Ramsay, and Kurt Cobain. If you’re the masochistic type, you can even have it done on yourself.
Style Buzz People who dress only in one color. For a select few, only one hue will do. Call them stylish visionaries or obsessive compulsive freaks, either way these monochromatic characters are impossible to ignore.
Science Buzz The new smoking-cessation wonder drug really does help people quit, but apparently it also causes nightmares, blackouts, paranoia, depression, hallucinations, and even suicide. Well, no one ever said quitting was easy. The FDA is investigating, and stated recently that a connection between Chantix and serious psychiatric problems appears “increasingly likely.”
Culture Buzz The shock-sculptor (past works have included Britney giving birth and Paris deceased) unveils his latest work: “The Oprah Sarcophagus.” Edwards has successfully made it a requirement to include the modifying phrase “controversial” before using his name in print. Another upcoming work is a statue of the fallen race horse Barbaro in Central Park, in which the horse’s hooves will be sticking straight up in the air. He’s made it his mission to see that our culture’s documentary evidence of celebrity isn’t just going to be left to the paparazzi.
