Glenn Beck nods and agrees with his guest Michael Scheuer that the only way to “save” the US (from illegal immigrants, of course) is for Osama bin Laden to succeed in detonating a weapon on American soil. Scheuer and Beck hit all the conservative buttons, from Mexicans to the mainstream media and the worst of all, Europeans. From the June 30th, 2009 Glenn Beck on Fox News

Glen Beck is the craziest of the crazies, right?

I can’t believe that Al Franken is a US Senator. There should be celebrating in the streets.

Above is a video that has the audio from Franken’s infamous take down of O’Reilly at the Book Expo in 2003. I saw it broadcast on CSPAN2 Book TV randomly the day it happened and watched it jumping up and down with my mouth wide open. Sadly I can’t find any video footage, only the audio above. In short he explains why he calls Bill O’Reilly a liar in his book. Keep in mind Bill O’Reilly is SITTING TWO FEET FROM THE PODIUM. They were both at the Book Expo to promote their new books.

You can read about it here on Salon. And here’s a video of O’Reilly telling him to shut up after it’s over.

AL FRANKEN IS A US SENATOR!

I wish I came up with this idea. Brilliant. I used to be insane about sneaking into movies. I once spent a Sunday watching 4 for the price of 1. This site would have cut my planning time in half.

For those who are unemployed and are looking to kill some time during the day, here is something extremely useful: Double Feature Finder, a website that shows you when movies are scheduled back-to-back at your local theater, so you can sneak into them.

John Hodgman roasts Obama and his alleged nerdiness at the Radio & TV Correspondents dinner. So good. Watch now.

My first and last name got married out in California. (The Charlie was a girl, so they didn’t have to worry about “Prop Hate.”)

Thanks for the info, twitter vanity search for the term “Charlie Todd.”

I actually thought this photo graphic that Penthouse made for the No Pants excerpt was pretty awesome.

So Penthouse excerpted a chapter from Causing a Scene. Alex and I can now honestly say that we are published Penhouse authors, which is pretty fucking funny. I mean, I never thought it would happen to me, but I swear it is true. On newstands now for $9.99 or on the pirate bay as PDF if you know how to torrent. We’re between the pictoral of two naked girls and the pictoral of one naked girl. (I’m not suggesting you buy this magazine unless you were looking for an excuse to buy Penthouse anyway.)

The Mark Paul episode was awesome, but I really loved this one that most people missed. GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND MAKE A DONATION PEOPLE!

(also as a bonus UCBers Dan Klein, Shannon Coffey, and Eddie Brawley are in this.)

I missed this Jimmy Fallon and Mario Lopez skit when it came out in April, but just watched it and almost fell off the couch laughing. It’s amazing how dead-on they are in re-creating the old episodes. “KKTY Bayside…”
