Nothing is more anti-American than telling children to stay in school, which is why Mr. T was arrested for espionage in 1984. President Obama, though, thinks he's above the law, so parents are boycotting his upcoming address to schools.

Oh, wonderful, we're one Supreme Court term away from another aggravating confirmation fight. "Liberal" Justice and former Zeppelin bassist John Paul Stevens just might retire next year.

President Obama wants to save his precious, precious health care reform, and that means he will soon trot out in front of the television cameras to plead his case. And that case may include some concessions, including no public option.

The White House blog just posted this photograph of Barack Obama, part of the White House Flickr photostream "Work and Rest in August." They know that crazy people say Obama thinks he's the Messiah, right? They know he's not, right?

Some people have called Glenn Beck a racist for not supporting Barack Obama. Beck disagrees: he's a patriot. And, to help prove his outrageous points, Beck invited Pastor Stephen Broden to back him up. How does this help? Broden's black!

Jon Voight was once known for his acting chops and, later, for fathering Angelina Jolie. These days? Well, he's known for his rabid right-wing politics, which were on full display when he appeared on the increasingly robust Mike Huckabee's show.

Ted Kennedy's funeral is underway, and so is the full court press barrage of media. Obama's delivering his remarks now. What do attendees, Twitter, Free Republic, and others have to say?

Too bad wikipedia's enacting a new oversight committee, because now we won't get to read blatant political bias on our president's page. This "puppet" remark may well very be our last partisan slant. Democracy is dying.

If Glenn Beck is, in fact, laying the ground work for Fox News banishment, he's doing so in true, fear-mongering, overwrought style!

We may have a black president, but race-based "good hair, bad hair" politics remain. Duh.

In the wake of Ted Kennedy's death, many people are assuming the age of Camelot has come to an end. These people have obviously forgotten the family's fecundity, for there are plenty of Kennedy's to take the helm.

If there's one good thing about town halls, it's that we get a glimpse of our fellow Americans' true colors. But is that really what happened when Rep. Lynn Jenkins insisted Republicans can find a "great white hope"?

The president's historic election didn't help break his name into the top 1000 baby names.

Here's a word to the wise: if you're going to ask a bank for a $74 million loan, be sure to have some outside help. And definitely don't give them referential phone numbers that are registered under your name.

President Obama and Michelle are "heart-broken" over Sen. Kennedy's death.

Obama-related conspiracy theories stretch far and wide. And now they're weaving their way toward the National Endowment for the Arts.

OMG! Did you know President Obama and his family went to Martha's Vineyard for vacation? Of course you did. Everyone's out of their minds over the whole thing, especially the island's residents, whose collective welcome wagon borders on fanatical.

Dr. Susan Essien Etok, a friend who claims Michael Jackson asked her to help him get drugs, wrote to President Obama and urged him to take harsher action against physicians who help celebrities, like Heath Ledger, get drugs. [TMZ]

President Obama will take some time off from golfing tomorrow to announce that he wants the Bush-appointed Ben Bernanke, who some say saved our country from absolute economic ruin, to lead the Fed for another term. [NY Times]
