Well, one thing is for certain: in the American Food Culture War, Michelle Obama's side isn't the only one indoctrinating kids young.

Oh, parents. Always trying to make us read. This kid justifiably throws a tantrum upon discovering that he got books for Christmas, declaring, "what the heck is that?! That's not toys!"

This dude does a spot-on singing impersonation of the villain from Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town: Burgermeister Meisterburger. Watch the clip to see his uncanny rendition of "No More Toymaker To the King."

Discovered on the Metro North New York-Connecticut commuter line: The Christmas wish list of one brand-conscious lass, along with her presumed boyfriend's handwritten notes of confusion and horror. Updated with a new theory.

Former CNN stud Thomas Roberts officially has a job at MSNBC. Congrats! To celebrate, watch this completely gratuitous and rather shirtless report he did about measuring body fat percentage. Yes, he's that gay, and we love him for it.

Today we heard a story about Prince William pulling the whole "Do you know who I am??" famous person move. This reminded one commenter of an old, satisfying story about the Burton Batman himself, Michael Keaton.

Virginia state Del. Bob Marshall is furious over the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell," and wants to block openly gay people from serving in the Virginia National Guard. He also wants to be a U.S. Senator and needs headlines.

Merriam-Webster.com announced today that austerity was their most looked-up word in 2010, ahead of pragmatic, moratorium, and, gasp!, socialism. Fitting that people are looking for austerity in these penny-pinched times. "With great austerity, Sarah Palin boundered across the Alaskan tundra..."

The Way We Live Now: falalalalala-ing. It's a little holiday carol of cheery tidings we enjoy, entitled "Privatize Christmas." Santa on a private sleigh! Temp elves! Globalized toy labor! Let the poor decompose and fertilize the ground. Privatize all, falalalala!

Mississippi Gov. Haley "Boss Hogg" Barbour is a funny guy, and he should run for president. The former Washington mega-lobbyist gives great interviews. What was it like, for example, when he saw Martin Luther King Jr. as a teenager?

The bible-thumpers of Repent Amarillo—the Texas group last seen failing to burn a Koran—have a new publicity stunt: shooting Santa's head off at a firing range. Don't you hate it when your enemies do something cool?

TONIGHT: Kinda slim pickings, except for the premiere of the new Kevin Pollack-hosted game show Millions Dollar Money Drop, which will be incredible. Plus, NBC's over-performing the Sing-Off, Men of a Certain Age and a collection of previously-unaired Kardashians footage.

Last night wasn't only the time Kandi's wig fell off, but also the scene of a long awaited confrontation about Kim's comments (and her nursing degree?). Phaedra confronted Kim, and Kim fought back. See what happens after the jump!
