• White House: awesome digs, pricey food bills

   I've refrained from posting anything about the inaugural hoo-ha this week so allow me to share this fascinating National Geographic article about deep inside the presidency.Not the Obama presidency but presidencies in general and the special perks that come with living in the White House. Consider a president's food. The president pays out of pocket for every meal his family and guests eat (excluding state dinners), which can get awfully expensive."I can't remember anybody not complaining,

• Eight best Super Bowl food and drink commercials

  I know everyone is making a list of favorite Super Bowl commercials this week, but being trained in the black arts of advertising I couldn't resist making my own. Culled from the dredges of YouTube and my memory, here are my eight best food and drink Super Bowl commercials of all time.Number 8: After losing the '96 election to Bill Clinton, Bob Dole showed he can shill product with the best of them. Here he is promoting his "little blue friend."

  Radio Free Assmunch: I know Rush Limbaugh is supposed to "be funny" and to "have a sense of humor" and be a real "big-and-tall giggle-pants laff factory outlet" on his show every day. Heck, I'm on-record as a GIANT FAN of things that are funny, such as anything Zach Galifinakis says, or when I give my dog peanut butter. You have never seen anything so funny. It's SO DELICIOUS! But it's like MOUTH CEMENT! BUT SO DELICIOUS! Truly funny. But I'm apparently always stepping out of the room every t

• Roquefort fans can breathe easy for another month

  Flickr: DoozzleThere used to be a television show called Kids Say the Darnedest Things. Without getting political, there should be a show called Bush Signed the Darnedest Laws (the show could work for any president). The first episode could focus on the Roquefort cheese tariff.In his final two days in office, Bush signed new tariffs on several European items. Most notable was the 300 percent tariff on Roquefort, which was to go into effect next week before it got a last-second reprieve. The move

• When the President dines business goes crazy

  Did you hear that the President of the United States went to New York over the weekend for a night on the town? Because he was the president and all, it was covered to death and pretty much every story also mentioned Blue Hill, where the first couple dined. A visit by a president pretty much assures a restaurant of increased sales and popularity. The Daily Beast cites a Georgetown eatery named Citronelle which was on hard times until the Obamas ate there a month ago. Now it's booked solid for th

  As I spoke to Thomas Frank by phone on Saturday morning, a mob of conservative Tea Party activists were converging on the National Mall, ranting and raving about government oppression and hoisting placards of the President in creepy, Joker-style white face. Thomas Frank​While many were shocked at the boiling outrage that surfaced at town hall meetings this summer, Frank, a political journalist most famous for his 2004 book What's the Matter with Kansas?, saw it coming.
