J.K. Trotter · 01/20/14 05:20PM2014 Is the Year of the Seven-Toed 3D Pornography Beast
Ken Layne · 01/01/14 10:00AMOn this New Year's Day in America, 2014, the nation's typists ("thought leaders") are required to use their long-dormant psychic abilities to designate the next 12 months as the Year of Something or Other, whether that be "accidental mass suicide" or "wearable automobiles" or "raccoon-sized talking spiders." Such predictions will generally be wrong, yet there is also the remote possibility that the simple act of making a prediction will cause it to happen, no matter how ridiculous or vile.

By taking a selfie with the "voluptuously curvy" "blonde bimbo" "Danish cupcake" prime minister and her "gentle gams" "covered by nothing more substantial than sheer black stockings," Barack Obama acted like "a hormone-ravaged frat boy on a road trip to a strip bar." Andrea Peyser was robbed of the 2013 Bad Sex in Fiction award.

President Obama Apologizes for People Losing Health Coverage
Cord Jefferson · 11/07/13 09:10PMPresident Obama said in an interview with NBC News today that he is sorry some Americans have lost their existing health coverage due to the Affordable Care Act rollout. "I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," he told Chuck Todd. "We've got to work hard to make sure they know we hear them."

"In that same meeting, the authors report, Mr. Obama seemed to be thinking about the killing of Osama bin Laden and the United States’ use of drones in the war against Al Qaeda. 'Turns out I’m really good at killing people,' they quote him as saying. 'Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.'"
Fired Obama Aide Was a Real Tough Guy on Twitter
J.K. Trotter · 10/23/13 11:24AMJofi Joseph, the White House staffer fired last week (and unmasked on Tuesday by The Daily Beast’s Josh Rogin) for tweeting disparagingly about Obama administration officials, turns out to have been one of those Internet-based tough guys who make Twitter such a valuable medium. A few highlights from an archive of Joseph’s pseudonymous Twitter handle, @natsecwonk:

Fast-Evolving Foxes Prepare To Wipe Out Humanity
Ken Layne · 10/15/13 01:00PMThe fox is a clever beast, famously outsmarting human and animal rivals in ancient fables, recent movies and a current Top 10 song. Humanity's relationship with the fox has long been balanced between bemused tolerance and "let's shoot them for fun and raise them in cages, for fur." But there are abundant signs that the foxes have had quite enough of people, and are making coordinated global moves to take over civilization.

Trotter · 10/04/13 04:44PMThe Washington Post’s Ed Rogers, a “PostPartisan” columnist, has been thinking lately: What if the recent closing of a WWII memorial in Washington, D.C., prompted by the federal shutdown, were somehow connected to those baseless allegations that the Obama administration sicced IRS agents on its political opponents?
The Backstory of the Ricin Letter Sent To Obama Is Absolutely Cuckoo
Camille Dodero · 09/30/13 06:02PMLast spring, after a ricin-tainted letter was sent to President Obama, the FBI arrested Paul Kevin Curtis, an Elvis impersonator and Prince super-fan from Mississippi, on suspicion of mailing the poison correspondence. But then a week later, charges against Curtis were dropped and soon another Mississippi musician was taken into custody, Tae Kwon Do instructor J. Everett Dutschke, who turned out to be Curtis's bitter rival. In the October issue of GQ, author/writer Wells Tower digs into the feud and the whole thing gets weirder—so so so much weirder.
