Michael Bay has a new movie coming out about Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry! Oh, it's just his official campaign advertisement that looks just like Tim Pawlenty's official campaign advertisement. My mistake.
After finishing third in yesterday's Iowa Straw Poll behind Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul, the former Minnesota governor decided to call it quits. “Obviously the pathway forward for me doesn't really exist so we are going to end the campaign,” he said. “I thought I would have made a great president.” (via.)

Politics Buzz John McCain cited Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher often during the final presidential debate. Meet the real Joe. It’s pronounced whur-zell-BAHK-er, and he lives in Holland, Ohio.

Politics Buzz Finally a chance to tell the president and the candidates for a new one what you’re really thinking.

Politics Buzz In what has quickly become a mini-meme among Battlestar Galactica aficionados, John McCain and Sarah Palin are being closely compared - both in appearance and political profile - to two of the show’s main characters, troubled alien Col.
