Katie Couric Makes Glenn Beck Look Almost as Foolish as She Did Sarah Palin

Over the weekend I finally got around to watching Katie Couric’s web-only interview with Glenn Beck (It’s 45 freakin’ minutes long!). The whole thing is kind of fascinating, if only because it provides a glimpse into the “off camera” Glenn Beck, the person closer to the guy who exists in the world outside of his daily Fox News clown show for right-wing simpletons. But there was one particular three minute stretch of Couric making Beck squirm that was sort of priceless in the same way the Sarah Palin “I read everything” moment was last year during the presidential campaign. Watch Beck go up in flames after he is asked by Couric to explain what “white culture” is, the same “white culture” he famously declared President Obama to hate so much. Read more »

Real Life ‘Rent-A-Cops’ At the G20

You know there’s a lot of law enforcement personnel patrolling the streets of Pittsburgh for the G20 when some of them are forced to drive around in Ryder vans. Still, they’re a lot less ominous looking than their camo-clad counterparts kidnap-style arresting protesters in unmarked cars.

Matt Damon Flips out on Vinnie Chase, Errr…Adrian Grenier

Look, I’m pretty sure that this video of a PSA-directing Matt Damon going bonkers on Adrian Grenier for being a dumbass is probably a fake or, seeing that Jeremy Piven is involved, some dumb viral promo for THE WORST SHOW IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION, fucking Entourage, but I really want it to be real.

Venezuela Smokes Out the ‘Family Guy’

Hugo Chavez might like to ramble on about how chewing coca leaves isn’t the same as doing cocaine while addressing the UN, but the Venezuelan president apparently has no tolerance for the weed. Officials are reportedly threatening networks that air the “Family Guy” with huge fines unless they dump the animated series, claiming the show “promotes the use of marijuana.” They must have seen the hilariously intrepid “420 Episode” or Chavez just hates Fox’s cartoons as much as their news programs. |AP|

Sodomy Doesn’t Constitute Animal Cruelty In NJ

As if there wasn’t already enough reasons to hate New Jersey, here’s another: the state is obviously pro-bestiality. A crazy judge dismissed an even crazier cop who was accused of forcing baby cows to give him a blowjob. The Daily News reports that he “allegedly stuck his penis in the mouths of five calves in Southampton in 2006.” But according to sicko Judge James J. Morley, although the sex act is certainly “disgusting” he’s not convinced its animal cruelty. To articulate his demented ruling, he made an equally deranged comment about milk or something, which seems utterly inappropriate considering the context: Read more »
