Chyron of the Day: The Wearing of the Green
Yeah, okay, we get it, it's St. Patrick's Day and even though no one would don mouse ears for a foreign policy speech on Halloween, or wear a yarmulka on Good Morning America during the high holy days, people trot around with bows and scarves and ties and...
Inappropriate Questions for Amy Sedaris
When I caught up with Amy Sedaris at the New York premiere of Snow Angels she looked like she was ready to take the whole press corps over her knee and tell them to stop asking her so many goddamn questions, but she graciously agreed to answer mine as long...

Chyron of the Day: Beware of Fat People
So the Today Show found a zaftig lady who rides the bus with a fake book cover reading "Fat Is Contagious: How Sitting Next to a Fat Person Can Make YOU Fat," to make people realize they treat her differently because of her weight. They plopped her down on a...
New York Times: Not Color Blind, Just Blind
New York Times humor blog "Laugh Lines" came out with a post today claiming Obama and Lenny Kravitz were separated at birth. There's no byline but I can only imagine the author had some really great African-American friends at Dalton, and was totally upset by the Rodney King...

Chyron of the Day: Alliteration Happy

How could they not blow up those Iranian ships? They were there, they were Iranian, what's the problem...
Chyron of the Day: Go Huck Yourself
