“Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what...”

barackobama: “While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.” - The White House, responding this morning to a petition on SOPA and online piracy Opposing SOPA was a...

There aren’t enough exclamation points in the world to express my glee at the fact that this is a Star Wars reference inside a Harry Potter reference inside an SNL promo.

In lampooning Republican outrage over President Obama’s 2009 Halloween party for children of veterans, Stephen Colbert took particular faux umbrage at the fact that Chewbacca was in attendance at the White House on that fateful evening. What followed was a truly geektastic monologue that had me wondering, “Was that the first time his staff had to read Wookieepedia?” This is from...

My day on Capitol Hill
Today was fun. I headed out early in the morning and took the Metro to Capitol Hill. My first stop was the office of my House representative, Chris Van Hollen, where I picked up passes for the House and Senate galleries. The Senate gallery, I discovered when I arrived in the Capitol’s beautiful Visitor Center, was not yet open. So I checked out the House gallery. It looks…exactly...

Imagine Albus Severus coming out to Harry:
Albus: Dad, I’m…gay.
Harry: Albus Severus Potter. You were named after two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was gay and he was the wisest man I’ve ever knew.
Albus: Dad, you say this every time I tell you something. Stop. Just stop.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albus: Dad, would you mind buying some conditioner? I think we’re out.
Harry: Albus Severus Potter. You were named for two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them never used conditioner and he was probably the greasiest man I ever knew.
Albus: Dad, this response is really getting old.
Harry: TWO HEADMASTERS.
Albus: Yes, I get it, two hea—
Harry: BRAVEST AND WISEST MEN.
Albus: Da—
Harry: THAT I EVER KNEW, BRAVEST AND WISEST, TWO OF THEM.

Why #CNNAfterDark was great television
In the early hours of January 4th, after hours of covering Iowa’s presidential caucuses, CNN went a little crazy. It seemed to start at 1:30am with a technical mishap on two of their giant electoral analysis screens. While they waited for the final caucus results to settle a dead heat between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, CNN anchor Erin Burnett tried to “flick” a graphic from...
