When it comes to social commentary, South Park takes the proverbial cake, constantly cutting through the bullsh*t to get to the nut of the matter with hilarious vulgarity and awesome story-lines. But anyone who watched last Wednesday’s South Park election episode, “About Last Night” was crapping their pants in amazement at the timeliness of the show, which included the results of Tuesday’s election, lines from both John McCain and Barack Obama’s speeches from less than 24-hours before and the explosive celebration of Obamaniacs after his big win that perfectly matched their real-life drunken euphoria.

Immediately, we started asking, how the hell did they do it? Did they make two episodes, one for an Obama victory, one for McCain? Did they have some inside info only available to elite cartoonists? Did they just bank on the polls being right and go for broke? Fortunately, IGN TV was able to get co-creator Matt Stone on the line for an answer.  (more…)

After two extremely long and tedious years, the Presidential horse race is finally coming to a close. There’s been ups and there’s been downs, but more than anything, there’s been an endless barrage of super sexy Hollywood stars getting out to support the celebrity candidate of choice, Barack Obama.

There’s so many hotties getting out the vote for this guy, the list is practically the entire population of Hollywood. Luckily for you, we’ve narrowed it down to the Hottest Hollywood O-Faces from this election. (Sorry Rosie O’Donnell.)

This picture from Wednesday’s Presidential debate at Hofstra University is already so perfect that I’m afraid I’m going to say something to f**k it up. So let’s just let this one speak for itself.

UPDATE: This is what “scissoring” is, for the two of you who don’t already know….

First, John McCain blew-off David Letterman to “deal with the financial crisis in Washington.” Then he got reamed with jabs every time Letterman opened his mouth for the next few nights – and everywhere online. But now McCain’s reportedly going to make good on his rain check and walk into the the Late Show lion’s den, appearing on the show this Thursday night, the day after the last Presidential debate at Hofstra University. Of course that probably means he’s going to get ripped to shreds. Read More »

So this is not exactly what they said would happen, and I am confused.

Where the hell did the $850B package go? That’s right, it’s not really $700B – add another $150B in EARMARKS…after all of this debating over reducing earmarks, we witnessed the largest earmark in US history. But let’s put that aside for a moment, and ponder why – if $100B is being injected into the market today – the credit crunch is worse than ever? Hmmm…great job guys…top notch planning. (more…)

Redneck Woman Rails on Obama – Watch more free videos

Holy hell…Regardless of whether you’re Democrat, Republican, Independent or just lazy, the fact that the fate of the United States is partially being decided by this intellectual powerhouse should be a sobering and disturbing realization. Not that she shouldn’t have the right to vote, but I’m surprised this woman can even dress herself let alone make a good decision.

You’ve probably seen this photo a 100 times before and thought nothing of it. I mean, the pic is innocent enough…a strapping young Barack Obama sitting in Central Park with his adorable grandparents on a beautiful sunny day. Such a sweet little picture, right?

Well, maybe if you consider a sloppy armadillo packed away in Grandpappy Dunham’s trousers sweet…

You wouldn’t think it, but there is one way this 2008 presidential election looks sort of like the end of the 2004 campaign.The celebrities are coming out early and in full force.

Here’s how it breaks down by candidate (the ones who are still in the game) and celeb (this is a MUCH abbreviated list):

Mike Huckabee – Chuck Norris
Barack Obama – Oprah Winfrey
John McCain – Red Sox pitcher Kurt Schilling
Hillary Clinton – America Ferrera

I understand that celebrity endorsements can bring excitement to a campaign and make people who otherwise may not pay attention to a particular candidate tune in and then (I hope) research that candidate’s platform. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so shocked to hear that not only do quite a few people take note of who throws their support where, but it actually makes a difference as to which celebrity is coming out to officially back you up.
