Politico is reporting today that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel will host a conference call Saturday with Organizing for Action, the retooled Obama campaign team. Will the call serve as a test drive for a 2016 team-up? In any case, Emanuel doesn’t need OFA to devise #PresidentRahmSlogans — Twitter has that covered. A fishhead in every […]
You won’t be able to see the next big change on Twitter, but it might affect whose tweets you see. It was announced today that Twitter was tweaking its metadata to include an algorithm that “grades” tweets with values of “high,” “medium,” “low” or “none.” Hence, it will now be possible to rank tweets according to […]
Cheer up, Harry — Michael Moore might think you’re a weenie, but you’re the biggest weenie. As Twitchy reported, liberals slammed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid last month for compromising on a filibuster reform deal.

Apparently, Costello is sitting near Biggs on an airplane. Biggs, of course, took this as a good excuse to … ahem … be himself. I know a famous […]
Tons of celebrities were issuing Valentine’s Day tweets today. However, we doubt that any generated the hilarity caused by Chris Brown’s attempted salute to women. Then again, when your primary claim to fame is beating up your girlfriend, people take you a little less seriously when you talk about treating women well. No. Way. RT […]
Whatever we think about Barack Obama, we won’t begrudge him for taking his wife on a nice date for Valentine’s Day. Heck, we’ll even say that he has great taste in restaurants for selecting José Andrés’ renowned “Minibar.” However, we can’t help but point out the fact that his date night probably ruined Valentine’s Day for […]
Both Republicans and Democrats have been using the occasion of Valentine’s Day to score points and take political jabs at each other. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) sent Rep. John Boehner some “romantic” Twitter poetry, but the House Speaker might be playing hard to get. Maybe he responded with a discreet direct message, but for public […]
A spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County sheriff-coroner said Thursday that the remains found in a burned-out cabin in Big Bear, Calif., are indeed those of fugitive Christopher Dorner. The body was identified through Dorner’s dental records. MORE: Identification of burned remains was made using dental records of fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner: apne.ws/XGOCIq -MM— The […]
Oh, dear! Looks like Ted Nugent doesn't care for Luke Russert all that much… Lol— K.D. Carlson (@kdcarlson15) February 14, 2013 Heh. They did have a bit of a run-in recently, after the State of the Union address, which musician Ted Nugent attended. Ted Nugent walking into #SOTU with jeans, camo boots, black button down […]
