Who cares if Bob Barker reportedly thinks he’s a lowsy host? He just lost 80 freaking pounds, and he did it the old-fashioned way: Healthy eating and exercise. source

Culture: “Calvin and Hobbes” creator Bill Watterson is no longer J.D. Salinger

  • I think some of the reason ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ still finds an audience today is because I chose not to run the wheels off it. I’ve never regretted stopping when I did.
  • “Calvin and Hobbes” creator Bill Watterson • In his first interview since ending the strip 15 years ago. While he appreciates the success it gave him, he’s glad he stopped and has been able to recover some semblance of a normal life. “I wrote “Calvin and Hobbes” in my 30s,” he noted, “and I’m many miles from there.” Is it ironic that he came out of the woodwork the week J.D. Salinger died? Yes, yes it is. source

Politics: Visual Aid: Maybe Obama needs a mustache for respect

Barackfrobama1021
  • Would Obama get a little more respect if he had a mustache? A recent study showed that people with mustaches make more money than people without one. It may not be as stylish as what he’s used to, but it might help win him some respect from the Glenn Becks of the world. He’s going to make another push for peace in Israel soon, so it could come in handy. As long as he gets the right kind. Go with a handlebar, bro. (Art thanks to CORRESPONDENT)

Culture: Police: “Hey, Ron White’s about to smoke a cigar! Wait for it …”

  • The comic got nailed for breaking anti-smoking laws. White, who (by the way) is the only remotely funny Blue Collar Comic, was performing at a show in Bismark, N.D., where smoking in public places is illegal. A plainclothes officer went there specifically to see if White would smoke, and took notes. He nailed the comic taking three puffs from a cigar. Count ’em! Three! White could be fined up to $500 for the far-too-anal incident. source
