The angry geriatric group is fighting the perception that its members are racists. Of course left-wingers are to blame for this smear campaign, and the Tea Party is going to prove it. One defense? We have black friends, too!

There hasn't been a black Republican in the House of Representatives since 2003, which is weird, since Republican politicians and voters are notoriously friendly to the African-American community. But fear not, GOP: Thirty-five black Republicans are now running for Congress!

Here are two facts that seem, on their face, unrelated: 1. Barack Obama is about to choose John Paul Stevens' replacement on the Supreme Court. 2. "American Idol" is still the top rated show in America.

She knew they were related when he called himself P@t the R@t. Sienna and Jude are officially back together. Sandra's baby sells more magazines than Angelina's. Tuesday gossip is symbolic.

What's worse than bombing in front of the president? Bombing in front of the president with hacky material you've already used. Politico caught Leno recycling material from his monologues in his White House Correspondents' Dinner speech, and edited them together.

According to the Daily Beast's Lloyd Grove, "the razor-sharp jokesters from The Daily Show" helped write Obama's White House Correspondents' Dinner speech. It's not hard to out-funny Leno nowadays, but that's like bringing a predator drone to a knife fight.

This weekend's New York Times Magazine features a long profile of the littlest Obama Administration members: "All the Obama 20-somethings." How do they cope in a world of trashy blogs, constantly trying to derail them with meaningless Facebook scandals?

Every couple years, the rumor surface that Barack Obama had an affair with his hot campaign worker Vera Baker. It happened again—this time in the pages of the National Enquirer. Which is always right about politicians' sex scandals.

It's finally here. The Chinese nightclub named after our very own president had its soft opening and reviews are starting to come out. There were half-naked people in scary costumes, go-go dancers, and tons of creeps dancing to bad music.

There's a long history of musically inclined presidents. Nixon was an accomplished pianist, Harding played every instrument under the sun, and we all know how badass Clinton is at the sax. But Obama? Who knew his singing was so angelic?

Violent black radical Barack Hussein Obama X is learning about wind energy in Iowa, The Washington Post reports in a most unfortunate photo caption error.

Sick and tired of being pushed around, called a terrorist illegal alien, the anti-Christ, and Stalin-Hitler-Mao, the president has decided to go on the offensive against his loudest critics. It's time for some DC mudslinging!

You can vote for a high school and Barack Obama will deliver a commencement speech there. Here are the choices:

The city is plagued by gun violence, so Democratic lawmakers are asking for the National Guard to use techniques learned on "nation-building assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan" to restore order. Glenn Beck was right... martial law is coming! [AP, pic]

Joseph McVey was arrested on Sunday after cops discovered him with a gun and a police scanner at the airport where President Obama was taking off. He said he "wanted to see the president." Oh, well, that's OK, then!

President Obama met with Billy Graham for the first time ever on Sunday, kicking it with the legendary pastor in his log cabin for a half hour in a special top secret Jesus meeting. What did they talk about?

He screwed over Illinois; Now Rod Blagojevich wants to screw over all of America by subpoenaing Obama in his corruption trial. Lawyers claim that Obama can offer valuable insight into allegations that Blagojevich tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. [NYT]

Guess who showed up at Obama's speech at Cooper Union today about Wall Street reform? Goldman Sachs' own Lloyd Blankfein! And many other financial execs. Balls of gold, they have. They'll all get stuck in traffic going home, anyhow. [NYT]

The President will speak at Cooper Union today, where he plans to chastise Wall Street while spelling out the details of his proposed financial regulation bill. Fearful of looking worse than they already do, some Republicans are signing on. [NYT]
