Just a few post-election things that we felt was worth rounding up and then that’s it. We promise. No more election shit until the 2014 midterms. Here’s Andrew Sullivan’s take on the election: It’s been a long long slog these past five years of backing the skinny guy with the funny name. But this election, to [...]

Diran Lyons’ created this clever political satire with the president in the role of Jay-Z and Mittens playing the role of the pesky cop. This is a perfect way to head into the weekend, as both candidates get viciously taken down a notch. Expertly done by Lyons. Seriously, this is top quality work. I’ve watched [...]

Conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan continues his man-crush on the president with a look at how a second Obama term could be a transformative one. It’s funny, but I’m not sure that Obama will become the Democrats’ Reagan — it’s clear that honor goes to Bill Clinton, who becomes more beloved and sainted with each passing [...]

A tale of two photos for the POTUS and Vice POTUS over the weekend. Barack Obama stopped by Big Apple Pizza in Ft. Pierce, Fla. on Sunday, where owner Scott Van Duzer wrapped Barry into a manly bear hug. Secret Service was probably not amused. Across the country in Ohio, Joe Biden did his best [...]

It was, by all accounts, a masterful speech by a politician at the top of his game. Take 60 minutes to watch this speech. It was better than any speech given at the Republican National Convention because it was specifically wonky, a strong rebuttal to the GOP narrative, radiated warmth, and defended Obama’s last four [...]

President Obama entertained Betty White in the White House Oval Office on Monday. Or was it the other way around? If ever something deserved to become a meme, it would definitely be this photo. [Photo by Pete Souza via White House]

Is anyone remotely surprised that the computer virus Stuxnet was created in a joint effort by the United States and Israel to use against Iran? I’d wager the same thing is the case with the recent flame virus, as well. The damning part of the report was the program started under Bush, but was accelerated [...]

Watch a young Barack Obama speak on behalf of Harvard Law professor Derek Bell at a diversity protest in 1991. Obama was helping to demand tenure for minority and female professors. We’re guessing no one at the event that day had the faintest inkling they were watching a future POTUS. We also imagine the GOP [...]

President Barack Obama and the White House staff look back on the last five years, beginning with his announcement to run for president. Fuck it, I’m in for another four years. There’s no doubt this has been an interesting four years to see a guy get flogged on both the left and the right because [...]

Osama bin Laden has been killed in Pakistan, during a joint operation by the CIA and Special Forces personnel. American military and C.I.A.operatives had finally cornered Bin Laden, the Al Qaeda leader who had eluded them for nearly a decade. American officials said Bin Laden resisted and was shot in the head. He was later buried at sea. [...]
