Thousands of Deputies Swarm Health Insurance Companies–With No Coverage
10,000 people protest insurance companies’ grip on our health care and Congress—to no media coverage. Hotheads with teabags taped to their heads get not only wall to wall news coverage, they get a network lead-up from FOX News worthy of a Bowl game, with ample replays of their event. Why isn’t this newsworthy?
And this event has some smart, even camera-friendly dissent schtick going on here: Deputizing the entire crowd and sending them as a posse to arrest the heads of insurance companies?? You really don’t need to put much more on a press release than that to get some non-intrepid news producer there looking for an easy piece. No, at the very moment when determined leaders in Congress are still trying to revive a semblance of real health care reform, the networks would rather not touch on it. Wait--LOOK! Some nutty ex-Congressman talking tickling!

It’s Hard Out Here For a Pimp Smear Job
Apparently, it takes a mock right-wing blowhard to make up for the integrity that Clark Hoyt at The New York Times does not have to call out the media hoax that James O’Keefe III’s smear job against ACORN really was. Take it away, Colbert…

Commander in Beats
I don’t know what’s better — that my president lets Jay-Z hang in the White House Situation Room, or that the old right wing guard is predictably in apoplexy. Here, a rare smile from Hov.

LEAKED: More RNC Fundraising Power Point Slides!
Following the release of damaging slides from a recent Republican National Committee presentation in Florida–”Putting the FUN Back in Fundraising,” which encouraged using fear, the threat of Socialism, and “tchochkes” as effective fund raising tools–the RNC has been put on the defensive. Even the brash RNC Chair Michael Steele was contrite on FOX News, who had to dispatch one of their Most Attractive Blond Ladies Available to offer wide shots in a miniskirt to distract from the news of how utterly little the RNC thinks of its supporters, namely you, the viewers.
While the slides obtained by Politico cast an unflattering light on how the RNC apparently thinks of its donors as ego-driven and reactionary, the peculiar premium placed on “tchochkes” might be even more curious (for anyone who is not a grandparent, anyway). Is this the GOP secret to cultivating their base–stocking them up for their next yard sale?
Here are additional Power Point slides that have surfaced providing further insight into how the Republican National Committee thinks. Read More

“Wild Girls Gone” Becomes, Like, a Thing
Today on FunnyorDie.com, I came across a web ad for my own movie, linking to a website that totally exists and actually portends the imminent release of Wild Girls Gone, for sale in a publicly-accessible-type way.
This would make me think that someone else might think that this movie is actually, like, a thing. And yet, like — it totally is, though, when you think about it, really. Woah.
Nice to come across this blog from TV Blogster who has apparently been eagerly anticipating our movie. I hope our tour-de-force ‘Spring Break Movie Where Spring Break Is Actually Outlawed’ marks the pinnacle of the genre.

Get Well, Guru
Guru, the gruff but smooth emcee of the seminal Hip Hop group Gang Starr and his subsequent Jazzmatazz albums, has suffered a heart attack, is in a coma, and is undergoing surgery today. I’m uncertain which is scarier, that Guru is so laid-up, or that he is only 43 for frack’s sack, 6 years older than me. It’s not like he’s Big Pun, nearing 700 lbs., whom you might expect to go out like John Candy.
Whereas the 90’s were a dangerous time for emcees avoiding manufactured beefs with bullets, this century seems to be taking out our Hip Hop greats through lackluster health care — Jay Dilla, Slum Village, Roc Raida, and no doubt others.
Here is one of my favorite Gang Starr songs, “Just to Get a Rep,” from 1991’s Step In The Arena.

Armed & Alienated
Frank Rich drives home a chilling thesis in his column in today’s New York Times, charged by a recent Times expose by David Barstow, who spent months investigating the personalities and ground forces of the disparate Tea Party movement.
Where so many of these people seem to recognize the outlines of the corporate empire that has enveloped us, they mistakenly turn against their government and its potential relief from the forces that actually dispossessed them.

Nightmare in Chile
Security camera footage from the 8.8 earthquake in Chile, one of the biggest earthquakes in 100 years. This footage doesn’t show toppling walls or people whatsoever. What it does show is an immensely violent shaking of the landscape that is terrifying, as if the surface of the neighborhood had been turned into a popcorn popper. What is so astonishing to see for just a few seconds is a disaster that lasted 90 seconds, far longer than a professional bull rider lasts, and under far more favorable circumstances.

Dalai Lama, Backdoor Man
After Obama allowed only a single, stern-looking photo to be released of his meeting with the exiled Tibetan leader, this TMZ-style paparazzi pic captures the Dalai llama being shown out the back door of the White House along with the trash, in his trademark sandals looking like a sad streaker in D.C. winter.
Nothing personal, Dalai, but China owns $800 Billion in American Ass Equities, and the mistress treatment is necessary when U.S.-China relations are so archly enacted in this SNL piece:
