Matt Toder · 03/03/12 12:30PM'The Obama Administration Wants to Impose Secularism on Everybody:' This Week in Hate-Watching Bill O'Reilly
Matt Toder · 03/03/12 10:10AMBill O'Reilly is a pretty religious man - his belief is based on the tides coming and going out - and so the recent culture war about religion has really been in his wheelhouse. He's particularly mad at President Obama (what else is new?) on account of the President's march toward secularism and all the horrors that entails. He revisited the subject three times this week on his show. Here are sixty seconds of his best quotes, with a bonus nugget of wisdom from Rick Santorum.
Bill Maher Explains the Bubbles Both Republicans and Democrats Live In
Matt Toder · 03/02/12 11:30PMOn tonight's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher ended his show with a short rant about the bubbles that both sides of the political aisle live in. The Conservative bubble is well established, but Maher believes that the Liberals live in one too, one where they don't think President Obama can lose on account of what jokes Romney and Santorum are. As Maher reminds us, there was another joke candidate no one thought had a chance a few years ago: George W. Bush.

In Portlandia, Never Leave Your Bike with the Valet
Matt Toder · 03/02/12 10:46PMThe best sketch from an otherwise subpar episode of Portlandia featured Fred and Carrie doing another experiment with off-beat entrepreneurialism. In the past, we've seen them try to be movers who only biked across town or environmentalists who start their own recycling firm. This week, they were bike valets, in a sketch that highlights the contradiction between Portland's earthy bike culture and the service-y realm of valet parking. The business didn't work, but the sketch sure did.

Drunk Driver+Butt Plug=Florida
Danny Gold · 03/02/12 07:41PMKevin Brann must have been in one hell of a rush the morning of February 24 since the 41-year-old forgot to remove the "sexual anus plug in his rectum," as the police report puts it. When police officers in Martin County arrived on the scene of a two car crash, they arrested Brann under suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Things got frisky. More details later emerged:

Hamilton Nolan · 03/02/12 10:36AMThe official fourth grade curriculum in the Los Angeles school system includes one exercise in which students pair up, one of them puts on a blindfold, and the other hands them things, and they describe the things, in order to learn about using all of their senses and whatnot. PERFECTLY REASONABLE. But administrators have now cancelled that exercise for good. Why?

Turns out, she hounded Lorne Michaels until he said yes.
