In honor of election day, we got to thinking about politicians and how they have the power to change the world and make a difference. But we also got to thinking that when they’re not making speeches and creating laws, they have the power to be an amazing party guests. The kind of party guests that will have all your guests saying, “I didn’t know Hoover knew how to do the worm!” and “Whoa, Andrew Jackson, where did you even find an original Four Loko!”

So in honor of election day 2011, we put together a list of the top 5 politicans we would invite to a raging party. With no further ado, meet your new favorite party guests! Read More »

This week was definitely one that will go down in history. I think it’s safe to say that President Obama will remember this one forever!

Sure he might have botched the oath a smidge, but with a speech like that, who cares? With all the inaugural balls he had to juggle, his Tuesday night definitely topped mine. I must say, both the President and the First Lady looked stunning! This may be the hottest Commander-in-Chief since JFK! There’s a lot riding on Mr. President this term.

There are plenty of things we’d like to see change and it looks like this administration might make it happen.

Other than that, the week was pretty standard. Gossip Girl and The City made their weekly appearances in our living rooms, and I had a quick chat with Brody Jenner. You know, the usual. Maybe I can lure him to be Valentine this year. Ah, wishful thinking. Chances are I’ll spend V-day alone rocking out to jams that I will never admit to listening to. Such is life…

Oddly, these two news stories are more Orwellian than Orwell.First we have this little ditty. It’s an article about how the Russian government dropped cement from sky-high heights through the roof of an unsuspecting citizen.

What’s odd about this (besides the obvious falling-cement thing) is that this happened because, in preparation for Russia Day (?!), the government was “seeding the clouds:” inserting liquid nitrogen, cement powder, and silver iodide into the clouds so that it won’t rain. And what’s more, they’ve been doing it for the past 20 years.

That’s right, friends. On Russia Day, all skies must be clear, by order of the government. Do the citizens know this? Or do they think that it’s a miracle that it never rains on national holidays?

On to the next creepy government story.

In Romania, citizens so despised the living candidates that they reelected a dead mayor. For realz.

Yeah, they knew he was dead. So what? As one profound villager says, “I know he died, but I don’t want a change.”

Gosh, if we knew it was that easy, we could have all just voted for JFK every year.

Oddly, neither of these two tales is from the good ol’ USA. Is our government slacking off in its world-renowned Big Brother ways? Is the news just tired of reporting it? Or have we, finally and just in time for the new election, just become complacent?
