Hookers for Ron Paul
Politics Buzz The legendary BunnyRanch brothel in Nevada is pimping for Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. As a Christian conservative, Paul doesn't condone prostitution, but he's also a staunch states' rights advocate. So with him as president the world's oldest profession would be sure to stay legal in Nevada, keeping those bunnies hopping.

The Gulabi Gang

Hillary as Snow White

In the tradition of great architectural feats, from the Louvre to the Taj Majal, we bring you the Toilet House. It's Sim Jae-duck's roundabout way of bringing to light that 2.6 billion people live in unsanitary conditions. without proper sewage systems.

These and many other crazy rumors about the candidates are swirling on the Internet. And they must be true, because they're on the Internet. (Well, some of them are true, actually.)

Presidential Candidates and Trophy Wives
Politics Buzz Bill Clinton excepted, the spouses of the current presidential candidates are a veritable trophy wives club. Not only is there a possibility of a May-December power couple in the White House come 2009, but if pigs flew and Dennis Kucinich got elected, America could see its first first lady with a pierced tongue.

Huma Abedin
Politics Buzz Hillary's glamorous and stylish aide could be the subject of a new political sex scandal. We speculate this scandal could actually help, not hinder Hillary Clinton. Huma is kind of the opposite of Larry Craig. (Thanks for the tip!)

Plastic Ban Bag
Politics Buzz New York may join other cities around the world to crack down on plastic bags. Like most places, NYC wouldn't be banning bags entirely, which means we can still get bags for out takeout food at lunch.

Obama and Cheney Are Cousins
Politics Buzz Dick Cheney's wife claims that Barack Obama and Dick Cheney are eighth cousins. It's kind of like that time we discovered that Strom Thurmond and Al Sharpton were related. Basically, we were like, "Hmm, interesting" and then promptly moved on with our lives.

Stephen Colbert For President
Politics Buzz The talk show host/pundit/performance artist announces he's actually running for President (in South Carolina, at least). The rumors and speculation are ture: It looks like he'll be running in the primary as both a Democrat and a Republican. This could explain Fred Thompson's sudden disappearance from the election scene. Only one fake candidate per election cycle, please.

Naked Presidential Candidates
Politics Buzz They say Washington is Hollywood for ugly people. Radar magazine shows how true that is with its November cover, which spoofs Vanity Fair's infamous 2006 Hollywood cover. While the parody image is a bit stomach-churning, we definitely like Rudy Giuliani better as Tom Ford than we liked him in drag.

Meghan McCain
Politics Buzz John McCain's daughter, along with her self-described "political fashionista" BFF, La-Toria Haven, are the hot new bloggers on the campaign trail. Omg! We're hoping for some tips on how we too can prevent global warming just by shopping at Barney's more.

His sketchy friends are saying Asa was a "good guy" who was "pushed too far". He also had a "domestic violence incident" with his mother and his older brother has done jail time. On the plus side, Asa Coon looked a little bit like hilarious comedian Jack Black.

It's only a matter of time before which side will emerge as the official party of the Children Haters.

GOP Logo
Politics Buzz The 2008 logo for the GOP convention is unveiled to almost universal dislike. People are like, what? Prison stripes and it looks like the elephant is about to do somebody some harm. We already know Conservatives aren't funny; are they bad at design, too?

Phony Soldiers

Politics Buzz Despite his views on the Holocaust, gays and women, some people find Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hot. What was a internet mini-meme is given new life with Andy Samberg's SNL video short over the weekend. What make Mahmoud so smokin'? Is it those grey suits, the sparkling eyes, or his extreme and bigoted views?
