Happy holiday weekend! I could go into details on this, but let’s not waste anyone’s time. The important news is that Speidi is splitting up, and no amount of crystals for geniuses in a warzone can put them back together again.

This is the image that greets the Danish ambassador when he walks in the door. It’s a mixed-media image of Obama, which Ambassador Friis Arne Petersen calls, “gorgeous.”
The piece was commisioned by Gugger Petter, a Danish artist, who made it in 2007. It was originally mounted at Obama’s campaign headquarters.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the youngest Palin mother went on the record, serving up some ‘tude about Obama, the “lamestream media,” and her family.
She told the politically liberal mag: “There’s been so much misreporting and lying about me and my family, it makes me sick. It proves a lot of reporters just report lies and rumors, so I’d push for more accountability.”
Seen here in this PSA for abstinence, Bristol also expressed her beliefs on the President’s socialist agenda: “I think he is making more Americans become dependent on government, and he’s acting like government can and should take care of everyone. That is completely contrary to what made America a great nation. We should be expected to take responsibility for ourselves.”
While warming up for her TV appearance in China to discuss growing tensions with the Korean peninsula, Hillary Clinton gushed about how excited she is about her daughter Chelsea’s wedding:
“It is something that every mother dreams of. And so for me it’s … the most important activity going on in my life now, I have to confess. Don’t tell anybody that but it is such an enjoyable and exciting time for our family.”
Mrs. Clinton is looking forward to remembering her own wedding, where her husband promised to be faithful forever, and where she wore this uncharacteristically not-horrible dress:
Hillary added that the wedding “is the most important activity going on in my life now,” which makes me feel super comfy, since she is the Secretary of State, running around the world trying to defend America’s pigheaded foreign policy.
In fact, they want the “sorry.”
The fame hungry couple known as the White House Crashers got on the Today show and demanded an apology from…Congress?
“I want some sort of an apology by the media for the way they treated us. Or by members of Congress for calling us things before we ever had a chance to even go to Congress,” said Tareq Salahi.
…and no, it’s not Russia. From Breitbart:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Sarah Palin has taken to her Facebook page to complain about her new neighbor—a writer penning a book about her.
Author Joe McGinniss has taken up residence in a house next to Palin’s lakeside home in Wasilla.
McGinniss previously wrote a critical expose on Palin and her natural gas pipeline plan for the Conde Nast publication Portfolio last year, and is planning a book about the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate. It’s tentatively titled, “Sarah Palin’s Year of Living Dangerously” and could be on the shelves in the fall of 2011.
“Yes, that Joe McGinniss. Here he is about 15 feet away on the neighbor’s rented deck overlooking my children’s play area and my kitchen window,” Palin posted on Facebook late Monday, hours after returning from a trip to the Lower 48 and learning of McGinniss’ presence.
Printed in the NYT corrections page, which reads more like the comics, here’s latest gaffe:
A report on Page 90 this weekend in the feature “The Place” about five vintage wines to seek out in Napa Valley refers incorrectly to one from the Storybook Mountain Napa Estate. Its “Eastern Exposures” Zinfandel 2006 is a red wine, not white.
Can these people get anything right? Who confuses Zin for anything but red unless he or she is in college and drinks it from a Franzia bag?
