TV Buzz Three times! Plus an “LOL” from John King for good measure. Let me know what your reaction to Blitzer's reaction is down in the comments.
TV Buzz This was brilliant. Stephen Colbert surprised Jon Stewart at the end of tonight's “Daily Show” to demand back the Super PAC he gave Stewart control over while mulling a fake presidential bid. Stewart's refusal to honor Colbert's request led to an epic foot chase, culminating in… you know what? Just watch.
Politics Buzz The first “Occupy” congressional candidate emerges. Possibly more serious than Vermin Supreme.
Culture Buzz It's unclear what a moneybomb is exactly, but I'm excited to see Santorum's C.U.M. blow through this whole election.
Politics Buzz Remind me why the media thinks that focusing on the electoral impulses of Iowa Republicans at this stage in the contest is somehow good for the country.
Politics Buzz A big deal conservative endorsement in New Hampshire went to Newt Gingrich instead of Mitt Romney because the endorser said Mitt was too one percent-y. Endorser guy doesn't bother wasting time explaining why Newt better represents the 99%, because HELLO, obvious.
Politics Buzz Oops. Intrade is the online prediction market that follows everything from stocks to box office openings to presidential candidate prospects (it's basically online gambling). Here's a snapshot of Rick Perry's standing immediately after his debate meltdown.
Culture Buzz Conservatives won a few races around the country last night. Here's a recap of some of their more important victories. It's a much shorter list than the other one.
Disgusting conservative filmmaker Ladd Ehlinger, Jr. better get sued by the Splack Pack for this one. UPDATE: Those guys in the video ARE the Splack Pack!
Politics Buzz The midterm elections can be summed up in one word, RED. Republicans have taken majority of the house wiping out Democratic majority of the past 4 years. I guess we should be grateful that one of these changes wasn't a witch. Condolences to Christine O'Donnell.

Overnight in Iran, a whole movement and mood were vaporized, to the point that they appeared to have been a hallucination.
A student political party promoting more sex won their election in Italy recently, after creating this poster featuring students getting it on in their parents' bed. It reads: “Some people think that university students don't need their own space, but we don't agree.” I feel like this would go over well here too. Oh, and tramp stamp alert!
Vote for the next mayor of Rabbit Hash. In 1998 a dog won, but the dog died. What will it be this time?

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Moore’s first documentary, Roger & Me.
