Welcome back to hell gang. Tonight ‘s debate is on ABC and is co-sponsored by Yahoo News so look for some really scary questions from the online crowd. Why are we suffering through one of these tonight? I guess the GOP wants the terrorists to win. Continue reading
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
Jim Sensenbrenner, a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin, has drawn some attention to himself after FishbowlDC reported an overheard phone conversation at Reagan International Airport.
A “Democratic operative” reportedly heard the “very loud” conversation between Sensenbrenner and someone on his staff about comments that the representative had made at a church event three weeks ago. After a woman at the event praised the first lady in conversation with him, Sensenbrenner told the staff member that he responded that Michelle Obama “lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.” Continue reading
Great Raptor Jesus, there is still one more debate tonight before the fucking Iowa Caucus. The debate will take place in lovely Sioux City, Iowa. The sponsors are the Iowa Republican Party (a fine group, I am sure) and the shrill and always pointless Fox News. Try to to cry America.
Tonight’s big sparks are probably going to fly between Mitt (The Twit) Romney and his freakish, terror-inducing opponent Newt Gingrich. However, as Cleter has pointed out, there is an ancient and blood-thirsty spirit poised to play the spoiler in Iowa. Ron Paul is rising from the crypt to bring some libertarian vengance on those fancy, blow-dried college boys. With Paul coming in neck and fat-neck with Gingrich, Dr. Paul may have the confidence to raise a little hell.
The Republican Presidential Campaign Clown Car makes a stop in Iowa tonight so the candidates can fling poo at loathsome frontrunner Newt Gingrich debate. This will, sadly, be a Herman Cain-less affair, since Cain dropped out of the race last week to get divorced spend more time with his family or whatever. On the plus side, though, they all get to bask in the glory of newly-minted frontrunner, disgraced former House Speaker and reptilian man-slug Newton Leroy Gingrich. How exciting that will be! Watch Rick Perry pester Gingrich with non-sensical drivel! See thousand-year-old mummy Ron Paul curse Gingrich with eldritch spells and rants about the Federal Reserve! Behold Rick Santorum do nothing at all! Oh, and Mitt Romney will be there as well.
Lowe’s has apparently pulled its advertising from the only decent show on TLC, All American Muslim. According to The Hollywood Reporter, something called the Florida Family Association encouraged its followers to email the show’s advertisers, stating, “All-American Muslim is propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda’s clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values.” Luckily, TLC says that advertiser support for the show remains strong– I don’t know about you guys, but I think this is the only redeeming show on the network.

Stunt candidate and presidential performing artist Herman Cain suspended his long-runnning performance piece, “Campaign 2012,” Saturday, November 3rd. Speaking before a packed house at Bucket-o-Laffs Improv Club in Atlanta, Cain donned his trademark clown shoes for the last time , and announced his retirement. He will no longer perform live, though webisodes of his more popular routines will continue to be posted on his comedy web site. Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of my Newsbunny-watches-way-too-much-television-and-gets-way-too-involved-in-commercials-roundups.
Every once in a while, commercials pop up that are just so horrific that I — am simply enchanted. I thought I had a sick mind. I do not. My mind is far more within the mainstream than I ever suspected. Or perhaps the fact that I question what is tossed before me on the screen in this manner — perhaps that means I am far more sick than the mainstream. I can no longer afford therapy. You tell me. Continue reading
Yes, there are still more of these damn things. As American greatness slides into the dustbin of history, the GOP is here to fiddle us out with the crazy. Frost your beer glasses, kids, it is the only medicine you will be getting after they repeal Obama Care. Occupy Wall Street? Fuck it, let’s just cut to the chase and all try to occupy Canada before they build a Freedom Fence of their own to keep us out. Continue reading
Facebook is ubiquitous. Even your grammy has had an account for two years and the site has become a standard staple in any marketing plan. Of course, it is this widespread use that makes Facebook so damn handy. You can find a FaceBook page for any interest or group, no matter how obscure.
However, this also means that there are some sick fucks and general jack asses who also populate the Facebook universe. Stupidity, bigotry, bad taste; Facebook has it all. I am going to spare you the chore of searching for it yourself, and give you a sampling of some of the worst Facebook has to offer. Continue reading
