In Major Gaffe, Bachmann Confuses Ass, Hole in Ground (Borowitz Report)
Michele Bachmann, image via WikipediaMr. Media® Radio Network • Email • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTubeARIZONA (The Borowitz Report) – In a fledgling campaign that has already produced more than its share of gaffes, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) today confused her ass with a hole in the ground during a campaign swing through Arizona.
Speaking to a group of supporters in Phoenix, Rep. Bachmann raised eyebrows when she said, “It’s great to be here in Arizona, the home of my ass.”
After her comment was greeted with confused murmurs from the crowd, Rep. Bachmann quickly added, “Oh wait, did I say my ass? I meant the Grand Canyon.”

Sinking G.O.P. Poll Numbers May Put Florida in Play (New York Times)
Florida Go. Rick Scott, image via WikipediaMr. Media® Radio Network • Email • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTubeBy DON VAN NATTA Jr. and GARY FINEOUT
June 27, 2011
MIAMI — In the past few weeks, Gov. Rick Scott has traveled around the state extolling the accomplishments of the recent legislative session and promoting his success in pushing Florida down a more conservative, financially sound path.
So why is his approval rating the lowest of any governor in America?
“I don’t think about it,” Mr. Scott said in a brief interview when asked about his 29 percent approval rating in a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in May. More alarming for the governor: his negative rating has soared from 22 percent in February shortly after he entered office to 57 percent, suggesting that the more Floridians get to know him, the less they like him.
Mr. Scott, however, chalks up the numbers to his agenda. “Everybody’s scared about change,” he said. “I’m going to make the tough decisions because I know, long-term, they pay off. But, you know, short-term, everybody is worried about change.”

Howard Stern Heckler Benjy Bronk Disrupts Rep. Weiner Resignation Announcement (TVNewser.com)

June 16, 2011
You knew this wasn’t going to end smoothly. With dozens of cameras broadcasting live on more than a half dozen networks Rep. Anthony Weiner announced he was leaving his seat in Congress following a sexting scandal.
Midway through his announcement — hard to call it a news conference since he took no questions — a writer and performer from the Howard Stern show, Benjy Bronk, did what performers on the Howard Stern show do: he interrupted the news conference, yelling mostly inaudible comments directed at Weiner — specifically about the parts of his body that have been at the center of this sordid story from the beginning. Also, his last name.

Republicans Propose Replacing Social Security with Groupons (Borowitz Report)
Rep. Paul Ryan, image by Getty Images via @daylifeEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTubeWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – Presenting what he called a revolutionary plan to slash the nation’s mountain of debt, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) today proposed eliminating the Social Security program in its entirety and replacing it with Groupons.
“Instead of waiting each month for a check from Social Security, America’s elderly will receive valuable Groupons for everything they need, from Ramen noodles to cat food to caskets,” Mr. Ryan said in an appearance on Fox News.
Adding that Groupons would also help provide for elders’ medical needs, the congressman illustrated his point by holding up a Groupon offering 30 percent off on open-heart surgery in Cincinnati.

The job-killing governor (St. Petersburg Times Editorial)
Rick Scott, image via WikipediaEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTubeGov. Rick Scott will sign into law today a $69.7 billion state budget for 2011-12 that he boasts is all about creating jobs and reducing Florida's high unemployment. In fact, it is a job-killing budget that threatens the state's anemic recovery and makes the state less attractive to new residents and businesses. The governor and the Legislature are starving the state instead of investing in it. Let us count the ways they are undermining Florida's economy:
1 State workers Positions in prisons, social services and other areas have been slashed. Scott says he's only interested in private sector jobs. State employees buy houses, cars and appliances, too — even if they have not had raises in five years. Estimated Jobs lost: 4,500.
2 Public schools Spending will drop by $542 per student, or 8 percent. School districts are sending out lay-off notices to thousands of teachers, including 1,400 in Broward and 1,100 in Pinellas. Some of those could keep their jobs. But Pasco schools could eliminate 470 overall positions and Pinellas could cut 400 positions. School districts are the largest employers in many counties. Estimated jobs lost: THOUSANDS.

Ronald Reagan’s Daughter Patti Davis Poses Naked At 58 (Styleite.com)

May 19th, 2011
In this month’s issue of More magazine, Ronald Reagan’s daughter strips down for the camera. She is 58. This isn’t the first time Patti Davis has been photographed naked. At 42, she posed for Playboy. And while posing nude isn’t exactly a novel idea, her thoughts on body image — particularly as a recovering addict — are.
Her body is beautiful — and not just because wow — but because of what she’s put it through.

If Only it Were a Very Bad Joke (Back To Basics)
Image via WikipediaEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTube
The Back To Basics blog caused me to vomit in my mouth just a little bit this morning. Not only did they raise the same ugly specter about Gov. Good Hair that I did yesterday. They included actual facts about the kind of stuff he's tried to ram down the throats of the good citizens of Texas. It's the kind of stuff William Barret Travis, Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett would never stand for. But the majority of the voters in the state keep lifting their coattails and saying, "Thank you sir, may I have another!"

Newt Gingrich’s Wife Dropped Between a Quarter and a Half Million Dollars at Tiffany & Co. (New York Magazine)
Image by Getty Images via @daylifeEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTube5/17/11
Politico and the rest of the mini-scoop-driven Internet is currently freaking out because, at one point, Callista Gingrich, wife of Newt, reported between $250,000 and $500,000 in a "revolving charge account" owed to the high-end jeweler Tiffany & Co. (In financial disclosure forms, "revolving charge accounts" are basically "credit cards.") The debt was reported in 2007 when she filed forms covering 2005 and 2006 as part of her job at the House Agriculture Committee, and she listed it as her husband's responsibility. Since she shortly thereafter dropped out of public service, and Newt hasn't been in Congress since 1999, we don't know whether the debt has been paid off. (They're a relatively wealthy family that presumably employs financial advisers, or at least listens to Suze Orman, so it's not too much of a leap to guess it has been.) The last time they reported their net worth, back around the same time, it was between $1 and $2.5 million. So, basically, at some point, it looks like they spent ten percent of their net worth on jewels.

How Drudge Has Stayed on Top (New York Times)
Image via WikipediaEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTubeBy DAVID CARR
Published: May 15, 2011
For most big news Web sites, about 60 percent of the traffic is homegrown, people who come directly to the site by dint of a bookmark or typing in www.latimes.com or www.huffingtonpost.com. The other critical 40 percent comes by referrals, the links that are the source of drive-by traffic, new readers and heat-seekers on a particular story.
By far, most of the traffic from links comes from the sprawling hybrid of Google search and news, which provides about 30 percent of the visits to news sites, according to a report released last week by the Project for Excellence in Journalism, part of the Pew Research Center. And the second? Has to be Facebook, right? Nope. Then Twitter must be the next in line. Except it isn’t.
Give up? It’s The Drudge Report, a 14-year-old site — a relic by Web standards — conceived and operated by Matt Drudge.

Pornography Is Found in Bin Laden Compound Files, U.S. Officials Say (New York Times)
Osama Bin Laden, image via WikipediaEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTubeBy Scott Shane
May 13, 2011
WASHINGTON — The enormous cache of computer files taken from Osama bin Laden’s compound contained a considerable quantity of pornographic videos, American officials said on Friday, adding a discordant note to the public image of the Islamist militant who long denounced the West for its lax sexual mores.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity about classified material, would not say whether there was evidence that Bin Laden or the other men living in the house had acquired or viewed the material.
The discovery of the pornography, first reported by Reuters, may not be surprising in a collection of five computers, 10 hard drives and dozens of thumb drives and CDs whose age and past ownership is not known.
But the disclosure could fuel accusations of hypocrisy against the founder of Al Qaeda, who was 54 and lived with three wives at the time of his death, and will be welcomed by counterterrorism officials because it could tarnish his legacy and erode the appeal of his brand of religious extremism.
In a 2002 “letter to the American people,” Bin Laden denounced American culture for its exploitation of women’s bodies in dress, advertising and popular culture.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) kicked off his third run for the presidency on Good Morning America Friday morning. And in keeping with his role as the Libertarian anomaly of the Republican field, Paul launched his new campaign with some strong opposition to the concept of government assistance.
In response to a question from a viewer, Paul outlined to ABC's George Stephanopoulos his contention that government aid for victims of natural disasters goes against the foundations of America laid down by its founders.

The Bin Laden Raid: Anatomy of a Sloppy Spin Job (TheWrap.com)
Image via WikipediaEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTubeMay 5, 2011
The Bin Laden operation was a success. But the spin control has been a total muddle.
After intoning that the terrorist leader died in a “firefight” late Sunday, the White House has been forced to backtrack with an amended storyline that is less the stuff of myth and more the ugly truth.
"I don't see any evidence of a deliberate plan to mislead, but they should have maintained tighter controls of the message," Bill Schneider, CNN Senior Political Analyst, told TheWrap. "In this poisonous political atmosphere, both sides are always bound to see plots and conspiracies."

The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has written a children's poem about Osama Bin Laden. Hasselbeck says she put together the tome as a way of explaining who the late al- Qaeda leader was to her children.
The poem reads:
Osama Bin Laden was a very bad guy
He hurt many people, don't ask me why
We shot him in the head and now he is dead
Now close your eyes and go to bed

Trump Undecided About What Stupid Shit to Say Next (Borowitz Report)
Andy Borowitz, image via WikipediaEmail • Twitter • Facebook • LinkedIn • YouTubeby Andy Borowitz
May 2, 2011
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – With the public’s attention focused on the death of Osama bin Laden, billionaire Donald Trump huddled with advisors for the second straight day to try to decide what stupid shit to say next.
“The bin Laden thing has definitely stolen the headlines from Donald,” said close associate and advisor Tracy Klugian. “The only way he can grab them back is by doing what he does best: saying something really fucked up.”
Trump’s two-day hiatus from spewing messed up shit is the longest on record, experts say, adding to the pressure on the billionaire to break his silence with something truly craptastic.
