Back in May, during the twilight of Hillary Clinton’s presidential run, the struggling candidate  launched a contest  that was aimed at generating interest, buzz, and perhaps some cash for the ailing campaign. The concept: an awkward  Project Runway  ode called  Project T-Shirt . Supporters submit t-shirt ideas, and then the public would vote for their favorites. The winning t-shirt...

Perhaps it’s because America sees itself as a superpower in charge of protecting the world that it often expresses its cultural values through fictional superheroes. Superman, the Adam of all superheroes, fought for truth, justice and the American way while wearing red white and blue spandex. Now, of course, we are awash in superhero films, from  The Incredible Hulk  to  Iron...

Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has endured an extraordinary amount of hardships: a grueling, seemingly never-ending primary season, an all-out public relations disaster in the form of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and, of course, an  interview  with Maria Menounos. Somehow, Obama’s emerged from each impasse all the better, but soon his camp will face its most significant challenge...

One of the things I miss the most about the primary season is when networks would have online polls after their debates. Republican debates would inevitably be followed by an anchor sheepishly announcing that the winner of the  online poll , by a good 20 points, was…Ron Paul. This would then be followed by an explanation of Ron Paul’s online presence and...

I defended Obama on FISA. I approved of him refining his Iraq position. And of course I agreed with him when he toned down his anti-free trade rhetoric. But Obama refusing to have a sense of humor? This I will not stand for. I thought  The New Yorker   cover  was funny. Maybe some people don’t. Maybe some people are offended, although I can’t imagine why. But why did the...

I wrote about possible VP picks  months ago , but a lot’s happened since then — like an engagement, an exorcism, and a very important haircut. And, oh yeah, Hillary dropped out. Here’s an update of some of the key players. Charlie Crist Recent Events: Got  engaged . Supported McCain’s plan to drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Analysis: The overly tan Florida Governor...

Ah, election year. For many Americans, it’s a time to celebrate the democratic principals our forefathers fought to preserve. For those that prefer threesomes over a two-party system, it’s simply a great time to get laid. Indeed, this country’s fleeting interest in all things political provides sexual predators like myself with a whole new playbook to work from. Tired material...

If Barack Obama becomes the first ever African-American President of the United States, we may have one man to thank: actor Dennis Haysbert. At least according to  Dennis Haysbert . In a media teleconference earlier this week, the actor  credited his role  as President  David Palmer  on the hit show  24  as an influential force in preparing the American people for the...

As Obama continues tacking to the center, the netroots are adjusting their metaphorical collars with  increasing nervousness . He agreed with the Supreme Court in their overturning of the D.C. gun ban, but  disagreed  with them in disallowing states to execute child rapists. He started to  walk back  on his primary statements on re-negotiating NAFTA, and hinted that his view on Iraq...
