FYI, platinum coin critics: They do not need to actually make the coin out of $1 trillion in platinum; they just need to value it at $1 trillion. (ht @dceiver)
Hahaha, these Republicans all tweeted the wrong ruling — MORE HERE.
If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat or a day. If you give a man a Twitter account, he’ll delete his tweets reporting incorrect information and think nobody noticed.
It could have been worse.
The Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin recently apologized for the cover of its 2012 commencement program, which left a key letter out of the word “Public” in the school’s name.
The odds the “l” was missing: 100%.
A quick reminder of what’s at stake in Novemb … oh, who are we kidding? This is just hilarious/sad. What’s next? Kel Mitchell asking Joe Biden for an orange soda hookup?
German Chancellor Angela Merkel gets doused in ice cold beer after
an unemployed mana server leans a little too far forward.Poor Frau Merkel. She’s still recovering from this traumatizing incident:
In which Germans shower their leaders with both praise and alcoholic beverages.
The headline is Jeremy Lin-related. That’s all we’ll say.
We wanna introduce you guys to a couple of failures. On the left is failure Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas). On the right is failure Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.). Together, the two co-chairs of the debt-slashing “supercommittee” plan to tell the world on Monday that they failed to come up with a debt-slashing deal. Fail.
He compared Obama to Hitler. Now his iconic song is off “Monday Night Football” tonight. Hank Williams Jr. has been the voice of Monday Night Football for over 20 years, but a comment in this “Fox & Friends” segment, where he suggests that John Boehner playing golf with Obama “would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu,” has cost Williams a spot on ESPN’s long-running franchise this week. (The “Fox & Friends” anchors immediately had a not-so-lovely look on their faces after Williams said that line — with not a little bit of anger, mind you.) Williams, despite being an on-air personality for ESPN and therefore banned from running for political office, has nonetheless expressed interest in running for the U.S. Senate in 2012. source
I think it was we, the entire Internet, that was hoaxed my friends.
You mean 99% of the internet.
Pitchfork has more on this mess. The band’s rep had to deny this news, which is unfortunate, because it’s a credibility hit for the Occupy Wall Street movement. The person who hoaxed them should be ashamed.
That’s our media for you.
And why we welcome the Tumblrs.
Great job by the Political Notebook, ShortFormBlog and others to help us follow along.
We’re currently watching live coverage on England’s Sky News.
Why thank you.

Miami Herald Runs Macy’s Ad Congratulating Heat On Winning NBA Title
As if reading the Sports section didn’t suck enough for Heat fans this morning, Miami Herald readers opened their paper to find a nearly full-page ad reading “Congratulations Miami!” next to photos of Heat championship T-shirts and hats from Macy’s. (“Raise Another Banner” — ughhhhh.)

The best part about this is that there was no possible way that the Heat would’ve won last night, because they were down 3-2.

Vegan Beef of the Day: While scrolling through VegNews one day, the Level 5 Vegans @ QuarryGirl stumbled upon something rather unsavory: It seems “the nation’s premier print and online vegan magazine” has been purchasing iStockphotos of decidedly non-vegan meals, then photoshopping them to appear “vegan,” and slapping them on the site’s recipes.
Though the scandal is delectable, vegans everywhere are losing their appetite for VegNews, and subsequently canceling their subscriptions in droves (QuarryGirl says it not only canceled its subscription, but also shipped back the award it received from the publication).
FWIW, VegNews issued a statement [pdf] blaming the usage of meat-based stockphotos on cost constraints, saying “it is simply not financially feasible for VegNews at this time [to use custom-shot photography for every spread].”
[quarrygirl / blogtown.]
Well, this is pretty much the funniest thing ever. The photos reveal two things: That the vegetarian magazine writes their articles without taking photos of the food they’re talking about (bad on its own) and that the food isn’t even vegetarian. Score one for awesome.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljnucyQLpz1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
