MONDAY: Happy Halloween.

Herman Cain is under fire after allegations emerged that he sexually harassed women during his time as head of the National Restaurant Association.

FRIDAY: Royal tease.

THURSDAY: Primary selection.

The Massachusetts Democratic Senate primary was completely cleared on Wednesday, and only Elizabeth Warren now remains. Although there is no proof that she murdered all of the other candidates, those who know her said she is capable of some truly dark shit if she gets worked up enough.

Warren has made many fans since President Obama took office, with her no nonsense defense of the working class, her championing of liberal ideals and her total unwillingness to stop looking like someone's hyper-intellectual aunt. 

Now Warren, a former Harvard Law professor, turns her attention to Republican Scott Brown, a former underwear model, for the general election. Aides expect Warren to challenge Brown to as many debates as possible, and perhaps, at least one drug test.

WEDNESDAY: Just lie back and complain.

MONDAY: New old news.

WEDNESDAY: Jacked pot.

GOP presidential candidates met last night for another televised debate in Las Vegas, a place where all of your options seem great at first, but eventually everyone is a loser.

Michele Bachmann wore inch-long fake nails to the event. Her campaign claims that without them it is much harder to get in the pre-debate, ten-bump warm up required for maximum eye twitching and crazy spewing. Bachmann later forgot that Libya was in Africa, and responded to the mistake claiming that everyone should check on that, "Because that Gaddafi fella does not look black."

Herman Cain once again blamed the unemployed for their own troubles, drawing cheers from the Las Vegas audience, who coincidentally, despise the unlucky.

Former half-term governor Sarah Palin said after the debate that the GOP candidates were "bickering" like her children. Following the comment, Bristol and Willow Palin jumped into first and second place in primary polling.  She went on to shill that Newt Gingrich would "clobber" President Obama in a debate, which of course would be his only option after he ran out of apologies and accusations.

TUESDAY: Are you ready to crumble?

In a radio interview on Sunday, self-proclaimed GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum said that his brief appearance in a sketch on Saturday Night Live that poked at his ultra-conservative views, was "bullying."

A Santorum aide followed up to say they were incredibly grateful for the airtime.

An evangelical Christian adviser to Mitt Romney accused Rick Perry's campaign of injecting the issue of Romney's Mormon faith into the primary race. Perry's camp responded, insisting that notion was crazier than thinking Jesus visited the Americas.

MONDAY: Growing campaigns.

President Obama heads to North Carolina and Virginia this week to promote his jobs bill, after Senate Republicans blocked it last week. The president's impassioned argument for the bill in those swing states, should provide the much-needed inertia for Senate Republicans to block it this week.

Apple sold over 4 million units of its new iPhone 4S over the weekend, which means there are about 4 million people at work today who seriously, just have to show you something real quick.

A new book poses the theory that Vincent Van Gogh was actually killed in France, instead of committing suicide. French police say they will give it their full attention as soon as they finish up investigating cases from the 1880s, and move on to the 1890s.

FRIDAY: Catching the summer heat.

Senator Scott Brown spoke out today about charges of plagiarism against him, saying that a summer intern is to blame for a whole passage in a speech of his lifted from Elizabeth Dole's website. Brown understood that the text was borrowed, but was certain that it cannot be considered plagiarism since he did not pay anyone to do it.

Lindsay Lohan has been kicked out of a program where she was supposed to complete her community service. The young actress rarely showed up, always left early and repeatedly attempted to snort her coworkers.

Mitt Romney's fundraising intake has slowed, in what could be a troubling sign for the frontrunner. The issue may stem from Romney exclusively getting donations delivered as truckloads of gold bars, which keep breaking under the weight and crushing nearby middle class families.

Rush Limbaugh said that Mitt Romney is "not a conservative" yesterday, which luckily the presidential candidate did not hear since he never listens to the show.

May your weekend feel as long as the week that preceded it.

THURSDAY: Having a word or two.

Senator Scott Brown is accused of plagiarism this week, lifting comments from a 2002 speech by Elizabeth Dole. Brown's staff claims that it was the result of a technical error, commonly known as "pasting." Brown himself went on to say that while he is not exactly clear on what the definition of plagiarism is, he just thought he was taking someone else's work and passing it off as his own.

Herman Cain has jumped to the top of one national poll of GOP presidential candidates, which should give him plenty of room for a spectacular dive to the bottom.

WEDNESDAY: Getting fact up.

After the GOP debate last night, Gov. Rick Perry visited a fraternity and made a comment that implied the Revolutionary War was fought in the 16th century. Critics jumped all over the gaffe, but the confident Perry said he would be happy to show them the Texas public school text book that confirms he is right.

Senate Republicans voted down President Obama's jobs bill yesterday. The president responded, saying, "We can't take 'no' for an answer." Senate Democrats responded, "Yes we can."

Traci Nobles, the former cheerleading coach who exchanged illicit text messages with Rep. Anthony Weiner, has now released a book about her online affair with the congressman.

TUESDAY: NBNay.

Commissioner David Stern announced yesterday that the first two weeks of the NBA are canceled because negotiations failed to resolve the lockout.  The move means that there will not be any games until after November 14th, but the Kings will still find a way to lose $300 million by November 13th.

During the lockout teams are not allowed to train in their official facilities, but Gilbert Arenas is still allowed to eat wherever he wants to.

MONDAY: Lining them up to tear them down.

Netflix announced today that it will not split into two companies and form a DVD-mailing service called Qwikster separate from their online streaming business. Instead, they will remain one entity making it much easier for customers to resent their entire business.

A fan ran on the green and threw a hot dog at Tiger Woods over the weekend. Tiger said it was not that big of a deal, but could have turned out pretty badly if the fan had thrown a vagina at him instead.

FRIDAY: Early voting.

Iowa will now hold its caucuses on January 3rd instead of February 6th in order to stay ahead of other states as the most relevant primary location. Nevada is now expected to hold their primary on Monday, while South Carolina claims that they held theirs two weeks ago, and everyone lost.

Majority Leader Harry Reid led the Democrats in a rare power play to overrule the Senate parliamentarian last night. The so called "nuclear option" sets a dangerous precedent, as future Senates now may also have the gall to ask Harry Reid to accomplish something.

The suped up new iPhone 4S went on sale online today complete with a personal assistant function called Siri. You can order one now, but you will have to wait to see whether or not the phone selects you.

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

WEDNESDAY: Old news.

In a recent interview, Fox News overlord Roger Ailes claims that he only hired Sarah Palin because she was "hot and got ratings."  That approach is to be expected, considering Ailes was only hired to run the network because he was cunning and repulsive. In fact, the Fox News motto, "Fair and Balanced," was originally the more accurate, "Sexy and Popular,"

Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was on the campaign trail in Iowa yesterday where she agreed with a supporter who said that President Obama should be impeached.  Bachmann continues to be a bold and determined candidate, willing to knock on doors, shake hands and agree with anyone who is possibly willing to vote for her.

A new in-depth study from the Congressional Budget Office claims that the economy would be much better if only the economy were better.

TUESDAY: Fat chance.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie will reportedly announce at a press conference today that he is not going to run for president.  From the looks of things, Christie has never had any interest in running of any kind.

Michele Bachmann has lost more aides from her campaign, a sign that she is having a hard time raising money and may be on her way out of the race.  The news is certain to piss off God, who, according to Bachmann, had chosen her to rule the free world.

MONDAY: The new adventures of old Christie.

If New Jersey governor Chris Christie announces that he is running for president this week, he will have to start answering questions about a long history of past transgressions that include budget mismanagement, cronyism and abusing his office. Christie had to swallow his pride in his last campaign, although from the looks of things he has not fully digested it yet.

Despite over 700 arrests this past weekend, the Occupy Wall Street Protestors are staying in place and continuing to fight for their myriad of interests.  The group appears undeterred by spending nights, sleeping on sidewalks, mainly because being outside on Wall Street is a lot nicer than inside their Brooklyn apartments.

Sarah Palin recently referred to GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain as the "flavor of the week." Cain responded that his flavor was "black walnut," and added that if Palin would like a taste, "black walnut" is also the flavor of his balls.
