			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Lt-Col-Allen-West_thumb2.jpg" alt="" title="Lt-Col-Allen-West_thumb2" width="300" height="258" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-111621" /> Dynamic Florida Congressman-elect <strong>Allen West</strong>, who had to resign from the Army after he <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/12/sprj.nirq.west.ruling/">threatened to kill an Iraqi</a>, hired a radio host lady who shared his habit of promoting &#8220;violent insurrection&#8221; to be his chief of staff. But she&#8217;s gone all martyr and said no. It&#8217;s too bad, because they sound perfect for each other. The job probably would have cramped her style. |<a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2010/11/11/allen-west-ditches-cos/">Think Progress</a>|<span id="more-111534"></span></p>
<p><strong>Other National Stories:</strong></p>
<li><strong>Lloyd Schofield</strong> of San Francisco, Cal. wants to ban circumcision in his city, which bans everything except nostalgia and annoying people. He also wants to make the penis-altering practice punishable by a year in prison and fines. Glad somebody&#8217;s on this issue. |<a href="http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/politics/Next-on-San-Franciscos-Hit-List-Circumcision-107316878.html">NBC</a>|</li>
<li>Columnist/<strong>Eliot Spitzer</strong> work-buddy <strong>Kathleen Parker</strong> is bragging about how she got people to rag on <strong>Sarah Palin</strong>. She&#8217;s an anti-feminist. |<a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2010/11/11/parker-brags-i-led-media-assassination-sarah-palin">Newsbusters</a>|</li>
<li>The <em><strong>Washington Post</strong></em> wants your political book reviews for publication on their blog. There is no mention of compensation! |<a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/political-bookworm/2010/11/read_a_political_book_lately_w.html">Washington Post</a>|</li>
<li> Before you go out tomorrow, make sure to watch <strong>P.J. O&#8217;Rourke</strong> talk about his political views on the Internet. That way, you&#8217;ll have something to talk about with the person you&#8217;re trying to score with. |<a href="http://www.booktv.org/Program/12033/Dont+Vote+It+Just+Encourages+The+Bastards.aspx?utm_source=tweetdeck&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=tweetdeck">Book TV</a>|</li>
<li><strong>Joe Miller</strong> tried to get misspelled ballots disqualified from the final count, but a judge said, &#8220;no way, Jose.&#8221; |<a href="http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/11/10/judge-denies-joe-millers-bid-to-exclude-misspelled-alaska-write/?utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=twitter">Politics Daily</a>|
</li>
<li>Miller&#8217;s got a <strong>hot-line</strong> now for voter fraud. Call it and see if you get him on the line, in-person! Then tell him to shave his weird beard. Do this for me. |<a href="http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=4ed896e60d9a1d9a10dec11a0&amp;id=8f82308400">Joe Miller campaign</a>|</li>
<li>
Senator <strong>Kirsten Gillibrand</strong> met with President <strong>Hamid Karzai </strong>and asked him to protect the rights of women in Afghanistan from the Taliban and not let <strong>Carl Paladino</strong> call them &#8220;Little Girl.&#8221; |<a href="http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=13483149">WCAX</a>|
</li>
<p><strong>Local:</strong></p>
<li>Mayor <strong>Mike Bloomberg</strong> went to the Veteran&#8217;s Day parade and held a little flag that contained no salt, nicotine, trans fats, high-fructose corn syrup, or devils. |<a href="http://twitpic.com/35xvml">City twitter</a>|</li>
<li>
Council member <strong>Ydanis Rodriguez</strong> (D-Washington Heights) is sponsoring a bill that would allow you to park on the restricted side of a street as soon as a street has been cleaned, without having to wait. Supposedly under the current system, people have to circle around and around while the streets are being cleaned, so they don&#8217;t get tickets. This problem would end! But seriously, you shouldn&#8217;t drive anyway. |<a href="http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=20450678&amp;BRD=2731&amp;PAG=461&amp;dept_id=575596&amp;rfi=6">Queens Chronicle</a>|</li>
<li>Republican <strong>Anthony Como</strong> called up state Sen. <strong>Joe Addabbo </strong>(D-Howard Beach) and conceded that he lost their election. Now they both have CLOSURE. |<a href="http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=20450741&amp;BRD=2731&amp;PAG=461&amp;dept_id=574908&amp;rfi=6">Queens Chronicle</a>|</li>

<div class="list">
<p><a href="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/rupert_murdoch.jpg"><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/rupert_murdoch.jpg" alt="rupert_murdoch" title="rupert_murdoch" width="175" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-40878" /></a><strong>Rupert Murdoch</strong><br />
A familiar face on this list, this crusty-diapered dipshit told us he was <a href="http://business.theatlantic.com/2009/10/paying_for_hulu.php">going to take away our favorite free teevee-on-computer service HULU</a> and eventually try to turn a buck on it. Lemme get this straight: you&#8217;re making something we used to get for free something we should pay for even though we should&#8217;ve been paying for it in the first place. COME THE FUCK ON, MAN. After all, you don&#8217;t spend millions of dollars developing and producing and working on very very very expensive, time-consuming programs millions of people are going to watch just to actually charge for them, do you? Jesus! Free content is the future, Rupe. Now let us watch our goddamn Family Guy in peace, for free, because in this new era we pay for nothing and we&#8217;re better off for it.</p>
<p><a href="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/freakanomics.jpg"><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/freakanomics.jpg" alt="freakanomics" title="freakanomics" width="175" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-40879" /></a><strong>The Freaknomics Guys<br />
</strong>So an economist and a journalist walk into a bar. Both of their names are Steven, but one of them spells it with a &#8220;ph.&#8221; They wrote a book together. In that book, they argue that you should vacuum your children before they&#8217;re born to stop crime, drive drunk to drive better, don&#8217;t sell crack because you won&#8217;t make enough money, <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/columnists/stephen-dubner-and-steven-levitt-get-their-super-freak-on-omics/">write books for money</a>, and now, don&#8217;t worry so much about global warming because <a href="http://flavorwire.com/44361/superfreaking-out">basically everyone&#8217;s wrong about it</a>. In other words, read this book, and chill the fuck out. Books are bad and these guys&#8217; names are Stev/phen which is totally insidious and makes them sound like the evil Gay math twins we&#8217;re all pretty sure they are. Rational thought tied to mathematics is evil.</p>
<p><a href="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/graydon_carter.jpg"><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/graydon_carter.jpg" alt="56967872" title="56967872" width="175" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-40880" /></a><strong>Graydon Carter<br />
</strong>Yet another asshole you&#8217;ll never know about unless you live in New York. This guy parades around this city like he owns this town and charges $50 for mac and cheese at his restaurant you can&#8217;t get into. Seriously. Have you ever read Vanity Fair? That&#8217;s his life. Literally. Anyway, this guy&#8217;s been overpaying himself and a bunch of shitty writers for far far far too long, and when they all start to get fired, <a href="http://gawker.com/5388499/graydon-carter-jets-to-bermuda-while-layoffs-hit-vanity-fair">he gets on a private jet to an island</a>. Which is completely evil, right? Because when I&#8217;m firing a bunch of people who didn&#8217;t deserve to be comepletely overpaid for the last five years, the first place I want to be is in their faces admitting that I fucked up.</p>
<p><a href="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mike_albo.jpg"><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mike_albo.jpg" alt="Mike_albo" title="Mike_albo" width="175" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-40881" /></a><strong>Mike Albo</strong><br />
There&#8217;s absolutely no way you know who this person is or will give a shit if you don&#8217;t live in New York. He writes a column about shops, for the New York Times, the Most Important News Organization In The History Of News, Ever. He&#8217;s also some kind of comedian and does comedy that only people who live in Brooklyn or who secretly Want To Live In Brooklyn give a shit about. Well, this guy and <a href="http://www.viceland.com/blogs/en/2009/10/22/i-totally-went-on-a-press-junket/">some chick from VICE</a> and some guy I know who got arrested all got tickets to go on this trip to Jamaica, and presumably, all these Fugly media people boned each other, which is fine, except the trip wasn&#8217;t to procreate media people (a trip scenario in which its organizer would win this list with <em>no</em> competition). It was to promote JetBlue and a DouchEmail website. They took free shit, and they&#8217;re tainting journalism with their free shit, and they&#8217;re promoting DouchEmail, so we should start <a href="http://www.theawl.com/2009/10/the-junket-generation-the-thrillist-jet-blue-starbucks-jetmystery-junket-attendee-list">NAMING NAMES</a>. Ruining Journalism and Promoting DouchEmail&#8217;s evil, so we should get pissed about it.</p>
<p><a href="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AJ_THG.jpg"><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AJ_THG.jpg" alt="AJ_THG" title="AJ_THG" width="175" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-40882" /></a><strong>Most Evil: AJ Daulerio</strong><br />
Too insidery? Maybe. But ANIMAL&#8217;s Editorial Director also has a dayjob running some wannabe jock douchesite run by a bunch of scrawny nerds with wannabe jock complexes and a gigantic Tongan dude named &#8220;Tommy.&#8221; Besides the scary Tongan dude, let&#8217;s clear up one thing: sports blogs are run by guys who sucked at sports, which is to say nothing about the skills needed to handle their own balls. As evidenced: this guy took a bunch of &#8220;unsubstantiated&#8221; &#8220;rumors&#8221; about ESPN personalities and posted them on the internet. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/2009/10/22/1096101/the-deadspin-backlash">These are people with private lives!</a> And this is just a writer venting a grudge about being chafed on the publicity reach-around when he didn&#8217;t get the flack response he wanted, which was the truth! Dude, if you get that pissed about flacks lying to you, what&#8217;s gonna happen when he realizes that the Holocaust was bullshit and that every girlfriend he&#8217;s ever had is always wishing he had a bigger (paycheck/cock/mustache/whatever). Reality&#8217;s a fuckin&#8217; bummer. You can&#8217;t just lash out at the world! Enjoy your reacharound, and reacharound back. The system&#8217;s not built for you be worked <em>for</em>, but to be worked <em>by</em>. The sports media&#8217;s not supposed to be honest, <em>obvi</em>: scandal&#8217;s bad for morale! Besides which, ESPN just wants to bring the inherent beauty of sports to the people; why you gotta rat on the long-dick fuckin&#8217; that comes inbetween? Asshole. Alloicious Jameson Daulerio&#8217;s getting in the way of people having long-dick fuckin&#8217;. <strong>If that&#8217;s not evil, nothing is.</strong></p>
