You can tell him an idea you think is pretty good, and the next day he sends you something that's better than you could have imagined:...

...why did he fire Van Jones?...

Here's Levin reading my Top Ten Reasons to Accept That Job Offer from David Letterman: Graphics courtesy of NumberOneLevinFan. Guess that makes me Number Two. I've been called worse! Working on getting the Dennis Miller audio... P.S. Exurban Jon has the Miller audio. "Jim Treacher. Don't know who he is. My new hero." Holy crap. Making Dennis Miller laugh is even cooler than I would've imagined. P.P.S. I put the Miller clip on Youtube....

According to my fellow Twitterer jd_nyc, Miller read my Top Ten Reasons to Accept That Job Offer from David Letterman on the air. (Except for item #2, which was a little too rough for radio.) If anybody puts up the audio, let me know and I'll post it. Thanks, Dennis! As long as you're never going back on the Late Show again anyway, glad I could help. P.S. A while back, I was told that Hannity read my Partial List of Gwen Ifill's Questions for the Vice Presidential Debate on the air but didn't give me credit for it. I'm...

The Sydney Morning Herald reports (via Tim Blair): A Midnight Oil hit advocating Aboriginal land rights in the '80s is being used in the noughties to mobilise nations to combat climate change. The band's former frontman and now [Australian] Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, helped write new lyrics to "Beds Are Burning," as part of the celebrity-led initiative. It is driven by the former UN secretary general, Kofi Annan, who heads the Global Humanitarian Forum in Geneva. The forum has assembled 55 singers, actors and models to rerecord protest songs with the aim of cutting carbon emissions. Among them are British...

As successful as the 9/12 Washington Tea Party was, it still left us with some questions: Who were those wonderful czars? Where did they come from? And most importantly, do they mind if we take some more pictures? Thanks to the Green Czar (AKA Floridajayhawk on Twitter), we now know a little more about these cheerful, good-natured lovers of liberty and what they're trying to get off their chests. He was nice enough to answer a few questions via e-mail: Greetings, Green Czar! So, who are you fine folks? We live in South Florida. Boob Czar lives in a state...

ACORN: Another Corrupt Office Revealed Now. Fake-ho-gate spreads to the New York office: Via the four-day-old BigGovernment.com. I don't want to say Andrew Breitbart is a genius, but the last guy with a launch this successful was Neil Armstrong. (I was going to say something a bit saucy about Hannah Giles, but she's a black belt and her dad is a big-game hunter. So I'll just say that fearless investigative journalism has never looked this good.) In other news: President Obama, eager to heal the racial divide in America, has invited Kanye West and Taylor Swift to what the press...

9/16 Update: Who is the Boob Czar? If they can make Obama Girl famous, I see no reason we shouldn't do the same for the Boob Czar: In a move that is being praised by experts, it was announced today that the Boob Czar will also be serving as the Pogo Stick Czar. P.S. More pics here. Looks like maybe they're a package deal? The three "czars," I mean. Good advertising, southfloridateaparty.org. P.P.S. Strictly in the interest of morale-boosting, here are some more pics:...

P.S. Take a moment to sympathize with the "special interest" accountants who have to cut all these checks:...

If I do say so myself....

ABC News: The White House says President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones is resigning amid controversy over past inflammatory statements. If the mainstream media didn't prove its own irrelevance during the Rielle Hunter scandal, this clinches it. An advisor to the President of the United States, a man in charge of tens of billions in taxpayer funds, is resigning because of a scandal that has not been covered by most news outlets. Now they have to do the same dance they did when John Edwards confessed to his affair: "Looks like we have no choice but to talk about this...

You've probably heard the definition of chutzpah: A boy who's convicted of murdering his parents and begs the judge for leniency on the grounds that he's an orphan. Now we've got an example that's almost as... well, audacious. A few months ago, President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama said this about his grandmother: President Barack Obama said his grandmother's hip-replacement surgery during the final weeks of her life made him wonder whether expensive procedures for the terminally ill reflect a "sustainable model" for health care. The president's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, had a hip replaced after she was diagnosed...
