As part of our ongoing project to catalog the 2012 presidential election from a metal point of view, we've been soliciting presidential endorsements from noteworthy American metal musicians. Today: UZALA.

This was a theory floated out by insiders this afternoon but now it seems to be gaining more traction as a legitimate non-chimp option. Will Ferrell already made an appearance last week on Conan in full Ron Burgundy get-up to announce the the sequel to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

The Today Show's attempt to counterpunch Good Morning America's Katie Couric guest-anchor spot this week has already hit a snag. Today teased that a "legend" was scheduled to appear tomorrow morning. And, yes, it was a chimpanzee named "J. Fred Muggs":

Have you heard that video is a big thing over at Gawker Media? It's true, we watch and post a lot of videos each week. Here are some of the best videos of week, culled from an array of Gawker Media sites.

Bill O'Reilly devoted a lot of time to the Trayvon Martin case on the O'Reilly Factor this week, sometimes spending multiple segments on it during a show. O'Reilly spent much of that time advocating for the position that George Zimmerman shoudn't be convicted on television, as he believes other media outlets have done; his preferred tack is to state that there isn't enough evidence for even an arrest, which kind of neuters the idea that Zimmerman would be held accountable at all. It's pretty revolting stuff and I watched it all so you don't have to.

On tonight's Piers Morgan Tonight, Piers got into it with MSNBC's Touré, who was extremely annoyed about the way Piers had handled his interview with George Zimmerman's brother, Robert, the previous night. The exchange got pretty heated and Touré landed some serious blows on Piers.

On tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher expressed his dissatisfaction with the gun culture in this country - whether you're on the neighborhood watch or just heading out to shoot a deer with a silencer.

Keith Olbermann was just fired from Current TV — and we hear that chances of him actually showing up to a slated appearance with old Sports Center cohost Dan Patrick at a panel in New York City next Thursday are not much higher than the lottery odds. Guess Dan will have to do this one by himself. Not that he should be surprised, given Keith's history of trouble with his networks.

Weird Internets is a series in which we spotlight and explore funny, bizarre, or otherwise interesting corners of the internet. Today, we talk to Matthew K., or "cheesegod69," who has spent each Friday over the last few months following and retweeting every Kevin on Twitter — from @kevin to @kevin388.

Here's a clip of Rick Santorum speaking at the Armory in Janesville, Wisc. on March 27, stumbling over a word that sounds a lot like the n-word. What on earth could he have been trying to say? Maybe he meant to call him "bleaugh"?

The recipient of the world's first silicone breast implants is and was a total bad-ass. Here are some facts about her from the BBC News Magazine's A Brief History of Breast Enlargements:

Stephen Colbert creating his own Super PAC was a stroke of genius as it has given him an endless comedy well. However, the Colbert Super PAC isn't just a joke, it has actually taken in more donations in the state of Texas than the pro-Romney PAC "Restore Our Future." With that in mind, on tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen introduced the Stephen Colbert Super PAC Super Fun Pack which has everything you need to start your own. Let's just say that the Super Fun Pack is appropriately named.

A new study has found that self-identified conservatives' trust in science has plummeted since 1974. Interestingly, the drop was most pronounced in college-educated conservatives, who began losing trust in the institution earlier and with greater force than their less educated counterparts.

On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart took a look at the Supreme Court battle over Obamacare, specifically the way the two sides don't seem to having the same argument. Instead, the Obamacare supporters are talking about the specifics of how health care works in this country while the opposition is talking in platitudes about freedom. Is there any wonder which side lost?

Google has just released video of its self-driving car (possible Transformer?) helping a legally blind man run some errands. It's much less scary than the last nerve-wracking footage of Google's self-driving car, even though it does feature a trip to the humid lair of the Doritos Locos Taco.

A judge today ended Lindsay Lohan's seemingly interminable probation period, stemming from a 2007 drunk driving case.

The Wall Street Journal reports that high schools across the U.S. are preventing teens from reaching their full sexy potential this prom season by banning dresses that flaunt their hot young teen parts.

Even though ABC's aggressive move to topple The Today Show appears to be working so far, it has backfired a bit.
