We hope the GOP is taking this rhetoric as seriously as they did Jeremiah Wright's.

OK, we know that by now everyone's as tired of Sarah Palin as the wolves the Alaskan governor uses airplanes to chase to the furthest reaches of her snowy state. But this Daily Show clip – an infuriating tally sheet of conservative mendacity – is simply too good not to post.

Haha! Both Senator John Kerry and Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden accidentally called John McCain George W Bush in their speeches at last night's DNC. Aside from the first syllable, the two Republicans' names sound completely different from one another, but they're JUST SO DAMNED SIMILAR policy-wise, so it's easy to mistake one's creased, warmongering face for the other's.

Two of the most prominent groups of diamond collectors will converge on October first at Phillips de Pury when rappers and hip-hop moguls mingle with royalty at the Hip Hop’s Crown Jewels auction. Among the items up on the block is a Guinness World Record holder; Lil' Jon is selling his infamous Crunk Ain't Dead 12-pound diamond-studded monstrosity, notable for being the largest diamond pendant necklace in the world. No word yet on how much the bauble is expected to bring in ($500k is its reported value, and that doesn't include the priceless feeling of wearing a piece that used to sit next to the pimp cup), but its final selling price is guaranteed to become a lyric in a Lil' Jon song.

Cuba's Angel Matos deliberately kicked a referee square in the face after he was disqualified in a bronze-medal match, prompting the World Taekwondo Federation to recommend that he be banned for life.

MTV has put out a casting call for their newest shockingly ill-conceived reality show, Model Makers, which will feature young girls being judged on how well they slim down in order to prove their love of the catwalk. So disturbing, but not anything new for reality television, which as of late actually seemed to be pulling back from the precarious brink of MILF Island.

We're not usually the type to agree with the boomers who rant about how our youth are being polluted by a society that abuses sex in pop culture, but when seven-year-olds are behaving exactly like people do in the worst of rap videos, we have to admit that perhaps there's something to that argument.

Don't watch the video below if you don't want to begin your day with something awfully depressing.

So Obama is down to three men, according to inside sources (those same sources that said the public might have the choice named as early as today … anybody?): Evan Bayh from Indiana, Tim Kaine from Virginia, and that nice man from Delaware. But whoops, looks like Evan B. already has one too many women in his life: His wife Susan is a known brat who berates the help and gets the couple kicked out of prestigious country clubs.

That won't be good as Obama fights criticism that he's too elitist when the wife of his running mate is getting all Devil Wears Prada with the campaign staff.

We all know violent sexpot New York has no respect for herself – really, how could she? – but had you any idea how little she cares for the feelings of others?

In the newest episode of televised pockmark New York Goes to Hollywood, Pollard attempts to research Japanese culture for an upcoming commercial role. Of course, she goes about this not by heading to the library for The Book of Five Rings or scouring Wikipedia, but by asking every Asian person she sees if they can explain Japan. (To a Korean dry cleaner: "Is that the same as being Japanese, or, like, not at all?")

It's a well known fact that George Clooney throws European arugula fetes for Barack Obama that cost $10,000 to get into. Perhaps it's that sort of thing that led to rumors that the two men are drinking buddies who text message each other about Middle Eastern policy and "body language."

Were that true, it might understandably turn off voters who can't relate to being so rich that the world's most important people are just a phone call away, but Clooney swears it's not, and he's putting his money where his protestation is:

St. Petersburg Times needs to check itself!

Today the paper endorsed state legislative hopeful Darryl Rouson. Many of you will remember Rouson for his taped declaration that homosexuality as "immoral." He also announced that gay adoption "sends a wrong message early to a child during formative years that’s hard to overcome just by sitting down and talking to them." Apparently the Times is alright with this.

Welp, with Prince of Persia, you've done it again, Hollywood! You've toyed with history in order to cast a very white person in a heroic role probably more suited for a person of color, just so that other white people will be comfortable spending their money to see it.

It looks like New York Gov. David Paterson’s going to top the Alliance Defense Fund!

A New York state judge indicated yesterday that she will rule in the Governor’s favor after the ADF, an anti-gay group based in Arizona, filed a suit saying he acted unjustly in ordering New York to recognize out-of-state gay marriages:
