Politics: Dan Savage is ready to spread some more santorum in 2012

Rick Santorum
  • The all-time greatest “Google bomb” ever may have a sequel. In last week’s “Savage Love” column, Dan Savage – the man responsible for making former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum’s last name into a filthy word – put the call out to get the Web site he created ready for the 2012 election. The Republican plans to run for president, but not without a filthy Google result that shows up when you search for his last (or even his first) name. Savage credits his readers for the success of the endeavor.source

Politics: Max Headroom has an oligarhy on hilarious Glenn Beck clips

  • Glenn hates “oligarhy” The best part of this video is the fact that he totally gave himself an out for misspelling the word, but only ended up misspelling it worse. He has big ratings, but someone give this man a dictionary.

  • Glenn feels bullied Beck seems like he’s on the edge in this video, reading a list about the names he’s been called. Even better, his shrink compares his critics to coke users. It’s like he’s going crazy live on air.

  • Glenn’s pickup line An oldie but a goodie. Back during his Headline News days, he chatted with correspondent Dina Sansing about an “American Idol” naked picture scandal, and asked to take naked photos of her. Classy.

Politics: The A.V. Club provides critical analysis of the KFC Double Down

  • Well naturally it’s exceeded expectations: Not only is its design a blow against ‘the tyranny of the bun,’ it’s also the ultimate challenge to the rest of the fast-food industry to step up its game.
  • The Onion A.V. Club columnist Sean O’Neal • On our new favorite sandwich ever, the KFC Double Down. To us, it takes a high level of criticism for us to cover a story like this two days in a row, but Mr. O’Neal (yes, we called him Mr. O’Neal; We’re channeling our inner New York Times) is up to the task. O’Neal suggests that this sandwich is the fast food industry’s way of pushing through health care reform (or as O’Neal hilariously calls it, the “Reichstag fire of health care reform”). • source

Offbeat, U.S.: Meet Antwon Womack, perhaps the most inept politician ever

  • Antwon Womack is running for the Birmingham, Alabama school board (✓) in a district he reportedly doesn’t even live (✓) after giving false credentials – lying about going to college (✓), lying about his age (✓), lying about which high school he went to (✓), lying about graduating from high school (✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓), and calling himself a doctor (ahahahahah ✓). His political career is over before it even began, and this video deserves to seal the coffin.source

Music: We could post Andrew W.K. videos on the site all day
