Obama
campaign decries magazine's satirical rendering as 'tasteless'
And what is it exactly about the word
"satire" that has you so confused? Does it say anywhere that it's
nice? Who besides you wants to see "tasteful" satire?
Oh, wait, we get it now--you thought you and your big-mouthed wife were
somehow off limits. . . .
The final months of
the 2008 election season will be charged with sex and violence, making it
the most interesting since '68

Welcome back, Richard!
After completing perhaps his
most challenging assignment ever, a stint in rehab following a humiliating
4:00 a.m. methamphetamine/sex-toy bust in New York's Central Park, a
rejuvenated though perhaps less-manically energetic Richard Quest is back
on the job at CNN International. Congrats, Richard! We never
lost faith.
"Well, they were
hurtful and wrong, that's the whole point," Jackson said of his words.
"And when you make mistakes you should not equivocate. You should be quick
to go into offensive and not try to be evasive. And if it was said to him
personally or in some public forum it would be even more hurtful. In this
case, my error was responding to a question before a live mic. And so when
he does hear them they will not be helpful; they will be hurtful. We have
a relationship that can survive this."
Watch the
video, and note Reverend Jackson biting his lower lip as he simulates,
with a vicious upward thrust, a knife attack.

Flash: Harry Reid blames Bush!
Prune-faced senate
majority leader calls President Bush "a drag"
Some call it a strange
hybrid; I call it love at first bite

July 8, 2008, New York--It's
been consummated and could begin to show this week. The pairing of
former Hillary Clinton campaign strategist Howard Wolfson with the FOX
News Channel seems a strange one at first glance but might bear some
interesting fruit.
July 7, 2008, NEW YORK--With
NBC Universal's announcement Sunday that they had reached a deal to buy
The Weather Channel from Landmark Communications Inc. come fears by many
from the right that NBC will provide weather coverage with a liberal
"slant."
July 5, 2008--It
was mainly my fault. It started back at the end of April with the
retreat to Florida. I had thought that some time away might help
everyone get their heads together. As anyone who has worked on a
website such as The News Lampoon knows, the stress level is very
high. I feared something or someone was going to give, so as any
good manager/administrator-type guy (or gal) would do, I immediately took
steps to ameliorate the problem. In the end, I had to ameliorate
myself.
