Activists Stage “Peace Charade” at White House [video]

On September 1, 2010, at noon, in front of the White House, Human Rights activists staged a “peace charade” skit. Its purpose was, according to their press release, to serve as a theatre parody of the “farce masquerading as [Mideast] peace talks,” currently being conducted by the U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, Palestine’s Mahmoud Abbas and Israel’s “Bibi” Netanyahu. Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, was the leader of the demonstration." Tags: Peace movement Israel-Palestine

The 10 Best Political Comedies Ever Made [video]

When people think of political films, their thoughts usually turn to stories of dense intrigue and skullduggery like "The Manchurian Candidate," or morally uplifting fare like "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." And yet, Hollywood has long known that politics was a sphere ripe for satirical appropriation. Running alongside the hoary tradition of the political drama is the rich vein of political comedies, treating Washington, or its local equivalents, as ripe for mockery and abuse. Viewing presidents, senators, generals, and political operatives with a barbed sense of good humor, these films treat politics with the appropriate amount of respect--which is to say, not very much at all.

Conan O’Brien Announces the Name of His New TV Show [video]

There's been much speculation about whether Team Coco would keep things simple, by using some variation of O'Brien's name (The Coco Show!). Or maybe they'd go crazy and riff on the after-hours time slot (Up Late with Conan) or O'Brien's new status as an Internet icon (Conan 3.0). In the end, simplicity won out — although, sadly, Conan's first choice for a name wasn't available. “I wanted one word that captured my essence, and 'Oprah' was already taken," O'Brien tells Vulture. So enough Ryan Seacrest–esque stalling: Just what is the title? We'll let the redheaded one tell you himself, via video. Tags: TV

Drunks Vs. Everything: The Funniest Inebriated Fights With Inanimate Objects [videos]

The Internet has proven time and again that drunk people can be hilarious. Remember the David Hasselhoff cheeseburger video? It's just one of the many classics. That being said, when a drunk person fights an inanimate object, everybody wins. Whether the drunkard's fight is against a tent, his flip-flops, or a mildly steep hill, when you've had this much to drink, everything becomes an epic battle. Now, we don't like to see drunk people hurting themselves or others, and certainly don't advocate EVER getting as inebriated as the folks in the videos below, but you can't argue the hilarity in watching a guy wrestle with his OWN pants. Check out these hilarious battles and vote for the best!" Tags: alcohol

Glenn Beck’s ‘I have a Dream Speech’

"I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from tax increases or increased regulation of your speculative financial instruments. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of government takeover and staggered by the winds of police laxness toward Mexicans and minority crime. You have been the veterans of creative suffering, under our current strange mixture of fascism, communism and Islam (Islamo-commie-fascism as I call it). Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering cannot be cured by a government take-over of health care." Tags: Glenn Beck

Worst High School Football Play Ever [video]

This high school football play might be one of the worst and poorly executed plays ever. First, the quarterback ran the option but the toss was botched. The running back bobbled the ball, caught it and then proceeded to run the wrong way. After about 25 yards in the wrong direction with a couple defenders on his back, the running back gave up and threw the ball into the air. The defense recovered and easily scored a touchdown.

7 States Where the Levels of Corruption and Ideological Madness Have Gotten Beyond Embarrassing

Ideological hijinks, bipartisan incompetence and outright corruption have infected state capitals -- and mortified citizens -- across the U.S. Is there a cure? Miller-McCune.com has supplyied a dose of satire. State of Embarrassment — Virginia How gun laws, Confederate History Month and a statue of Stalin contribute to the citizen embarrassment level in Virginia. You Probably Heard About: The gun laws. This spring, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell signed legislation allowing “concealed carry permit holders to bring loaded handguns” into bars — as long as the holders don’t drink. But the gun lobby wants the law to go further, so folks can carry and drink. Also, lawmakers proclaimed April Confederate History Month without mentioning, uh, slavery. McDonnell apologized for the “major omission” and cited the Assembly’s 2007 statement of “profound regret” for slavery. Which should fix everything."
