Macy Gray Takes Break from Bar Mitzvah Circuit

Remember that scene in The Usual Suspects when Kevin Spacey tells Joe Mantegna that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist? I'm beginning to think Karl Rove took that to heart when he dropped out of electoral politics, at least publicly, to secretly control whatever's left of shrill.i.am's mindgrapes. There's no other explanation for this latest celebration of two of the most alienating institutions known to "values voters," Hollywood and fascism--in the name of all things Obama.

I don't care if Obama brings these guys onto the stump with him, but if he doesn't denounce and reject that weirdo Black-Eyed Peas guy and his "kung-fu inspired dancing," I have no choice but to write in Putin.

Music Video of the Day: Bush's Brain Edition

Having lost the popular vote in 2000, having lost global goodwill post-September 11th, having lost his credibility, self-respect, and sense of purpose in the intervening years, it's fitting, it's inevitable, that today the President actually and officially lost his mind. Bush's Brain has come to realize that while it was fun to paint the blank canvas of his pretend candidate, and then lie and cajole his way into the White House, governing itself isn't nearly as much fun. So, as Turd Blossom returns to the warm Texas soil, I dedicate the video above to our President.

Separated at Birth?

Bonus question: Which one's done less for the world?
