After just over a year of marriage, the Muppet team of Brand Perry has called it quits. Elmo, Brand’s romantic rival, is probably somewhere celebrating with a margarita made from a hand sock. Continue reading
On a night in Corpus Christi, along the old Gulf Coast, I came up from quiet water to see the Nehi moon. It was orange, the color of soda, but instead of effervescence it hinted at airborne filth, a heavenly stain turned loose by an earth so long ignored by the selfsame sky. Rain had forsaken the land.

It was a busy week, with lots of nominations made to [email protected]! Greatly appreciated and if you don’t see your nomination this week please don’t be discouraged, there was a high quantity of quality and a cull was needed. This week I bring you a double header – a Comment of the Week and a COMMENT OF THE YEAR (next year we’ll vote, ‘kay?) Continue reading

I don’t know if Things Twee People Do should be some sort of new series here on Crasstalk. Really, how many would fit into this category? There can’t be like whole legions of twees out there, right?

Is Mittens explaining his interpretation of Joseph Smith’s “Word of Wisdom” where he exhorts the faithful from partaking in “Hot Drinks”, which the LDS church interprets to mean “No Coffee and No Tea?” (Note the carafe in the picture, sitting there – mocking him in silence).

Well, it has been an exciting year in politics. From Tunis to Boston people took to the streets to demand change. Meanwhile, the world’s politicians continued with their usual asshattery, especially in the US, where another election promises more annoying declarations from the sad group of candidates who seek our votes. The Crasstalk News and Politics team has been here to hold your hand as we pass the horrific car accident that is our future, and we have picked out a few choice moments of the year for you to laugh at through the tears. Here are our picks for the best (and by best we mean lulzy) political moments of the year. Continue reading
We started 2011 on a strong note with the crazy nastyass honey badger:
She has gone from 0-60 this past year with a slew of amazing performances. Her schedule has been chock full of filming, meetings, publicity and parties, yet Jessica Chastain still manages to shine at every possible moment. Continue reading
