Culture: Who’s better at Jeopardy, Wolf Blitzer or Andy Richter? (Andy, duh)

  • This says more about the state of journalism than anything else could. A comedian just beat the crap out of a guy who regularly tackles heady issues on CNN. Great. Way to make our profession look good, Wolf. And way to rock it, Andy.source

And more power to him, too: Gaga’s pretty hot for a possible hermaphrodite.source
