Offbeat: New Yorkers once again prove that any crappy apartment will do

This Brooklyn apartment looks kinda nice until you realize it’s 178 square feet. And at $944 a month, it’s probably the best apartment you can get for the price. source

Politics: Glenn Beck uncovers a 9/11 “truther” in a Tea Party candidate. WTF?

  • I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard. There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there, so I have not taken a position on that.
  • Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina • Answering a point-blank question from Glenn Beck: “Do you believe the government was in any way involved in the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?” This is a Tea Party candidate. Who was doing well in the polls until now. Saying something stupid. To. Glenn. Beck. Ahahahahahahahaha … ahahahaha … and we thought Harold Ford, Jr. had the market on saying stupid stuff all locked up. We don’t say this often, but good job Glenn Beck! source

Politics: CNN tells Obama he should “go gangsta” on the GOP

  • Obama’s critics keep blasting him for Chicago-style politics. So, fine. Channel your inner Al Capone and go gangsta against your foes. Let ’em know that if they aren’t with you, they are against you, and will pay the price.
  • CNN political analyst Roland S. Martin • Regarding his take on Obama and the Democrats in general. His feeling is that the party in general isn’t showing a backbone, and that’s why he’s struggling right now. We’re just imagining Obama actually going gangsta, in the N.W.A. sense. A great visual image. source

Politics: New campaign rules: “I’m an evil CEO, and I approve this message.”

  • That oughta work around that Supreme Court decision. So, let’s say that you’re an organization or a corporation and you’re all excited about that Supreme Court decision that allows you to spend as much money as you want to skew a campaign. Well, the Democrats’ new proposed rules would force more transparency in the process, including our favorite, forcing corporate CEOs to say they approve this message. Bailed-out companies can’t fund ads either. Awesome. source

U.S.: You’re welcome: An explanation of what a freaking stent is

  • A stent is something that holds a vessel open. Ex-president Bill Clinton received two of these today when in the hospital. The ex-president is in good spirits today, but we bet he wouldn’t be without this medical wonder. He’d probably be yelling. Hopefully he can go to some other country and play our heroic diplomat again. You aren’t a doctor, are you? (graphic courtesy National Institute of Health) source
