Barack Obama Gives Wingnuts a New Pastor to Hate
Jim Newell · 04/29/11 02:30PM
Conservative pundits have been known to give President Obama crap for not going to church. It's part of why, if you're, say, Byron York, the president should only blame himself for the millions of morons who believe he's a Muslim. But when Obama does go to church, as he and his family did on Easter Sunday, he still ends up in a multi-pronged scandal. He didn't "do" Easter correctly.

On this day Prince William and Kate Middleton were married. And also something like a dozen memes were born. The grumpy flower girl is cute, but the hat worn by Princess Beatrice is our favorite.

The Washington Post Has a Donald Trump Problem
Jim Newell · 04/29/11 11:59AM
Washington D.C. will be in full "why the country hates us" mode this weekend, as reporters and pundits gather to mingle inappropriately with the politicians and operatives they cover at tomorrow's annual White House Correspondents Dinner. The black-tie affair seems to attract more Hollywood celebrities with each passing year, usually in the form of guests for major D.C. publications.

Seth Abramovitch · 04/29/11 02:56AMHow can you stay mad at Antoine Dodson? He's like the rape-whistle-blowing bastard love child of Chris Rock and Miss J.
