Sarah Silverman’s Great Schlep

An interesting tactic for boosting Obama votes, and Reason #548 why I wish I was Jewish.
Speaking of which, Happy almost Rosh Hashanah! Tomorrow, I will make challah bread that will be probably be of goyish quality, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Everybody has at least one photo…

Les Misbarack

Barack Obama’s national campaign headquarters does an ensemble lip sync to “One Day More” from Les Miserables. It’s not so much funny as it is awesome.

Hipster Irony Has Officially Jumped The Shark

natalie portman’s shaved head – sophisticated side ponytail from thatgo on Vimeo.
Okay, so this band is called Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head and the song is called “Sophisticated Side Ponytail.” The video has Shamu references, watermarked Getty photographs, and lots of shitty effects. And flashing neon. Because it’s all so uncool that it’s actually SUPER cool—perhaps [...]
