Check out the “Official White House Photosteam” on Flickr. There are some cool pictures… gotta love the internet age.

President Obama hard at work:

Last Saturday, a bull got loose in an Irish supermarket– and the whole incident was caught on CCTV. Take a look:

As President Obama (or at least his supporters) celebrates his 100th day in office, FOXNews celebrates their 100th day of opposi, er, their 100th day of fair and balanced coverage:

Once again, everyone calm down. “Swine Flu” is not the end of the world. Not even close. CNN provides this important contextual information:

A car James Bond would be proud of is coming to America in 2010. The Gibbs Aquada is an car/boat hybrid that has been in production, mainly overseas, for a couple of years. Check out this clip:

President Obama is “furious” about the photo-op that included a low-altitude flyover of Manhattan by a 747. CNN reports:

We just posted a link to the study that claims Conservatives think that Stephen Colbert’s show is NOT satire. It seemed unbelievable to us, but then we remembered this ad from last year:

If this is true, it’s 50% hilarious and 50% horrifying. According to this study, some Conservatives take Stephen Colbert quite seriously. From the abstract:

Additionally, there was no significant difference between the groups in thinking Colbert was funny, but conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements. Conservatism also significantly predicted perceptions that Colbert disliked liberalism.

Now, before we jump to conclusions, this study needs to be evaluated.  We’re not statisticians by any stretch of the imagination, so we’ll leave the number crunching to others.  But seriously, you can’t take this guy at face value:

UPDATE: We realize that this is old, but it’s still funny:  Evidence that ACTUAL CONSERVATIVES don’t realize that Colbert’s show is parody.  Be sure to scroll down and read the comments even if you don’t read the whole article.

Karl Rove may be a master of manipulation, but he clearly does not understand the concept of “preparedness” or “contingency planning.” While in power, Rove helped the Bush/Cheney administration deregulate Wall Street (we all know how that played out) and was a part of the disastrous handling of Hurricane Katrina. As if this wasn’t enough, Rove has continued to criticize Democratic efforts to plan for future catastrophes.

According to this (not a great source but we believe it in this case), 0.7% of the world’s population is drunk at any given time.
