election 2012

Thanks Chris Pine, ya jerk.

In an appearance on this morning's Fox and Friends, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) was asked about a potential visit to the state by Mitt Romney. Christie was pissed:

"I have no idea, nor am I the least bit concerned or interested. ... I've got a job to do here in New Jersey that's much bigger than presidential politics. ... If you think right now I give a damn about presidential politics, then you don't know me."

Governor, you're doing it right.

(Skip to 2:15 for the good part.)

Sh*t just got real. And hilarious.

The Avengers director's endorsement of "Zomney" is a bit unconventional:

Like a lot of liberal Americans, I was excited when Barack Obama took office four years ago. But it's a very different world now. And Mitt Romney is a very different candidate, one with the vision and determination to cut through businesses' usual politics and finally put this country back on the path to the zombie apocalypse.

Romney is ready to make the deep rollbacks in health care, education, social services, reproductive rights, that will guarantee poverty, unemployment, overpopulation, disease, rioting, all crucial elements in creating a nightmare zombie wasteland. ...

Let's all embrace the future. Stop pretending we care about each other, and start hoarding canned goods. Because if Mitt takes office, sooner or later the zombies will come for all of us.

Not to be missed.

Watch as playtime turns into a vicious Romney vs. Obama faceoff.

"I had no idea they had ever heard of Romney or Obama!" says mom Sara. "Didn't know they were learning about politics in preschool!"

The brazen creator and star of HBO's Girls wins for Most Controversial Obama video; libs love it, naturally, while conservatives are calling it "the height of vulgarity":

"How could a president with two, young blossoming daughters release an ad as disgusting as this," tweeted John Notle, Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News.

Meanwhile, the staff at Slate note that Dunham was born on May 13, 1986, which means she was 18 years old during Bush vs. Kerry in 2004 -- so why didn't she vote then?

Andy Borowitz puts it best: "There's something wrong with our politics if we can't even agree about rape anymore."

Meanwhile, Tina Fey says she will "lose my mind" if she is forced to listen to "one more gray-faced man with a $2 dollar haircut explain to me what rape is."

And who reads newspapers anymore, anyway?

Charming, as always.

Well played, Internet.

Obama is all about using unmanned aircraft to kill suspected terrorists. From Slate:

Since Obama took office, media outlets have reported more than 300 drone strikes in Pakistan targeting al-Qaida or the Taliban, outnumbering the Bush administration's drone strikes five to one. ...

This map, which is based on data from the New America Foundation, displays the location and kill count of reported drone strikes since 2004 and shows that Obama has greatly extended the drone program.

Heeeeere we go!

You can't make this up -- an "America Needs Romney" blimp crash-landed Sunday in a heavily Democratic area of Florida.

Rumor has it that all it needed was more hot air.
