Landing on the moon, then landing a right hook

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, I thought I’d post a video of the historic moment. But after realizing just how bad video was in 1969, I decided watching Buzz Aldrin punch out a “The Moon Landing Was Faked” conspiracy theorist would be much more entertaining.
So enjoy.

Probably the only thing funnier than Wanda Syke’s joke about Rush Limbaugh last night is watching uptight commentators analyze its seriousness.
Regardless of the level of the contrived outrage, Wanda Sykes must be loving this. If you’re a comedian, there’s gotta be nothing better than getting a huge laugh, a national headline, and a television debate [...]

Governor Blago no more

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

First, I thought he was an idiot. Then, I thought he was insane. Now, I’m convinced he’s an evil genius. Watch Blago poison his potential jury pool with an impassioned and bizarre performance on steps of his house where he makes his case to the public that he was impeached solely for standing up for [...]

The Entertaining Evildoer

Bob Dylan’s Tell Tale Signs: Volume Eight of the Bootleg Series is Rolling Stone’s second best album of the year:
This is one of Dylan’s most consistently gripping albums, even though it is a roundup of outtakes and orphaned songs, many cut for the haunted triumphs Oh Mercy and Time Out of Mind. Like any night [...]

Academic Elites Fill Obama’s Roster (Washington Post):
Barack Obama’s chief economic adviser was one of the youngest people to be tenured at Harvard and later became its president. His budget director went to Princeton and the London School of Economics, his choice for ambassador to the United Nations was a Rhodes scholar, and his White House [...]
