Culture: Coming to your town soon: Conan O’Brien, officially on tour

  • We’re super-excited for this. Are you? Rumored for weeks, Conan just announced on Twitter that he’s going on tour. What’s the tour called, you ask? “The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour.” It’s gonna be awesome. And we’d pay a ton of money to see him. Teamcoco.com has been registered by Conan’s staff, by the way. source

Offbeat: Expand your fast-food ordering options with this insane secret list

We have no clue if these are all accurate, but some highlights: Poutine at KFC/A&W, the 100×100 at In-N-Out, and the “hypocrite” (veggie burger with bacon) at Fatburger. source

Politics: Sarah Palin will win in 2012 if this is her campaign poster

  • We can totally get behind this campaign poster to end all campaign posters, mainly because it’s hilarious. (Hat tip Andrew Sullivan)

Culture: Chuck Norris would be really old today if he hadn’t stopped time

  • It’s his 70th birthday. Here’s a “Walker, Texas Ranger” clip. OK, the Chuck Norris facts thing is kinda old, but let’s celebrate one of our greatest American fundamentalist Christian resources, a guy who can take on bears or stump for Mike Huckabee. We admit, even as crazy as he is, he’s an important part of our American junk culture. Kudos. source

Politics: Eric Massa is an infinite supply of comedy and backtracking

  • Between this and Debbie Medina, Glenn Beck is really starting to prove his worth as a part of the political conversation. Sure, he still has wacky moments, but his wacky moments are starting to get outweighed by astute observations such as this one, where he essentially admits that it was a waste to bring on former Rep. Eric Massa, who seemed just a wee bit uncomfortable with the appearance. In other news, the Washington Post actually wrote an article on whether lawmakers conduct political business while naked. The answer: Not really, though the showers are reportedly communal, so the Rahm incident could have happened. source

Tech: Your guitar controller plays games; our guitar controller plays songs.

Seven45 Studios ups the ante for the “Rock Bands” and “Guitar Heroes” of the world with “Power Gig: Rise of the SixString,” which uses a real, live gee-tar. Sweet. source

Culture: The “Tron: Legacy” trailer is pretty frackin’ awesome

  • Three Words: Daft Punk soundtrack. This trailer premiered during “Alice in Wonderland” (a movie that had a pretty stellar debut, by the way) and looks genuinely awesome. This film could’ve been quite cheesy, but instead seems to strike a truly exciting tone. And also, Jeff Bridges is pretty much awesome in every role he’s in.

Offbeat: Granny DJ: Officially our new hero. Go away, Epic Beard Man

  • Yo Grandma! Get out the booth! Seriously, though, this British grandma knows how to mash some bangers better than we do, and that deserves some mad props. We hope she releases an album of French house that’s better than Justice’s.
