Money quote (On Stella) :

I don’t know about you all, but watching her makes me really nervous. She almost went home but Lloyd from Entourage went home instead. This is a good thing since watching her is exhilarating albeit in a bum fights kind of way.
Fun Fact: Her middle name is Barbarella and her Myspace page is AWESOME!

 

McDumb as Bush

From the Jed Report comes this video asking the question - Can we afford another President who thinks it’s smart to be dumb?

 

Barack’s comic controversy

Making fun of Barack has become problematic following the controversial New Yorker cover which skewered the mainstream media (i.e. FOXNews) for parroting anti-Obama rumors innuendos and slurs (he’s a secret Muslim, she’s a Baby Mama). In response, humorist Andy Borowitz helps out U.S. comedy writers with a list of BO-approved jokes:

Saying he is “sympathetic to late night comedians’ struggle to find jokes to make about me,” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) today issued a list of official campaign-approved Barack Obama jokes.

The five jokes, which Sen. Obama said he is making available to all comedians free of charge, are as follows:

Barack Obama and a kangaroo pull up to a gas station. The gas station attendant takes one look at the kangaroo and says, “You know, we don’t get many kangaroos here.” Barack Obama replies, “At these prices, I’m not surprised. That’s why we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”

Check out the Borowitz Report for the full “approved” list.
