With 100 buyoutlayoffs already assured by the end of the year, the New York Times is tossing in a bit more good news for employees: 25 additional layoffs, thanks to the magical economics of outsourcing.

This memo went out to News Corp employees today, advising them of a protest that should be going on right now. [UPDATE: It's birther queen Orly Taitz and her Birther Brigade!] Please send us dramatic action photos immediately. (Some below!)

Pity poor Lydia Netzer, who lived next door to the PETA intern house outside DC. Pity Lydia Netzer's cat even more. The PETA interns finally good-intentioned it to death.

Did you know that while you have been bitching about stuff and giggling at that one lazy SNL sketch that Barack Obama has kinda quietly accomplished many good liberal things? The Wall Street Journal noticed!

Giuseppe Cipriani fled left the country last year in the wake of a scandal over alleged shady dealings regarding a liquor license for his celebtastic restaurant. He's not "on the lam," see. He simply could not take Bush any longer.

Instead of Going Rogue, a book by Sarah Palin about herself, this is Going Rouge, a book about Sarah Palin by a bunch of commies who hate her. It's the best—and only—Palin-related wordplay since that porn title. [Orbooks.com]

Did Arianna Huffington love Michael Moore's new movie so much, and also she knows Michael Moore personally, and had Michael Moore over to her house to talk about his movie and eat lasagna? Click through to find out!

"Survivaball." Read all about it on the website. "Worried About Climate Change? Don't sweat it." Instead, you can wear a ridiculous rubber-ball body suit to protect you from the ravages of global warming. It's an example of the world's largest corporations using engineering to replace ethics, with humorous results, etc.

Slovenly documentarian Michael Moore has a pretty good idea about why America's newspaper industry is in the toilet! 1) Greed; 2) Americans are dumb; 3) Republicans.

The good news: one shot of tasty swine flu vaccine is all it will take to save you from the dreaded pig virus this year! The bad news: All the medicine is going to special interests.

Every now and again, The Daily Show will do something that just about makes you want to stand up and cheer. Tonight was one of those nights, as the show aired a Fox News takedown for the ages.

We are pretty sure the Washington Post is just trolling us, with this Michael Shear and Ceci Connolly story on how shocked the White House is that the liberals are pissed at them for fucking up health care.

These "Obama Is a Socialist Joker" posters are apparently the first-ever examples of Republican Street Art. Baby steps! On balance, the "Heroic Obama" street art meme is still dominating. A sample:

The TV station identifies this as a "Controversial Sign," but controversial to who? To the liberal media of Azle, Texas. Think, sheeple. [Guanabee]

Bill O'Reilly is so torn up over the death of Walter Cronkite. According to Bill, Cronkite was a liberal, but he didn't let his political views influence his reporting, unlike everyone around today, everyone except Fox News of course.

The Washington Post, which pays money to opinion writers such as Bill Kristol (smarmy) and Richard Cohen (smarmier), has fired blogger Dan Froomkin, one of the only WaPo opinion writers who pointed out that the Bush White House was crooked.

SHOCK: in yesterday's Fox News Poll, respondents were asked whether or not they believed that Barack Obama was still "sneaking cigarettes at the White House"! Are you outraged? Think Progress commenters are!

Grow up, liberals. Sarah Palin gave a 15-minute introduction to Michael Reagan at some event last week, and the HuffPo has discovered that some of the words she used belong to Newt Gingrich!

Air America is facing financial problems, again, and might ask for donations. But National Public Radio totally has a patent on charging liberals for free stuff!

Why does the Washington Post want to tell children that their pirate fantasies are fake and evil?
