As pictures of Barack Obama flood the front pages, we can’t help but admire the hotness that is our new president. We wouldn’t mind having foreign relations with him, if you know what we’re sayin’…
There’s just something about a man in power that we can’t get enough of. Give a guy a nice suit, some secret service and an oversized desk and we are weak in the knees.
And President Obama isn’t the only hottie in a leadership role.
In honor of the forty-fourth president, we have scoured the globe to bring you the hottest world leaders. Whether at the podium or at the beach, these men bring out our inner Marilyn Monroe. Click on the pictures to learn more about these powerful studs. Read More »

They’re trooping off to the polls in the biting November chill, snug in their Uggs and North Faces zipped to the collars. They’re waking up too early and standing around in long lines for something that isn’t free food. They’re American college students, and they are voting.
Smell that? That’s the smell of freedom. Also, American college students don’t shower much.
Are you with them – or are you against them? Political nihilists beware: the jaded, “The-electoral-college-it’s-a-broken-system-f**k-I’m-moving-to-the-Moon” attitude won’t get you anywhere this year, because cynicism is out and passion is in! If it’s such a big stick up your ass, go vote for Bob Barr or something. If he’s not on the ballot, write-in “John from College Candy.” But please, do go and vote.
And what about this evening? You probably don’t have anything important to do while you watch poll results stream in, and “Nation’s First Black President” or “Nation’s First Woman Vice President” are both perfectly acceptable reasons to skip all your classes tomorrow. This means you should drink! Read More »

According to a new poll conducted by Newsweek magazine, George W. now has the lowest approval rating of any President in a decade. 28% of the people polled think Bush still has what it takes, while everyone else seems to want him and his pretzel chewing antics out of the White House as soon as possible.
In the same poll, 62% (out of the over 1,000 people polled) think that Bush is “stubborn and unwilling to admit his mistakes,” when it comes to the Iraq War.
It also seems that President Don’t-I-Make-You-Nervous-When-I-Speak is dragging most of the candidates in his party down with him, as Newsweek finds “each of the leading Democratic contenders beating the Republican frontrunners in head-to-head matchups”. Bush’s name was invoked only once during one of the first Republican candidate debates last week, while Ronald Reagan (who was an actor before he was President. An actor.) was mentioned a total number of 19 times. Read More »
