Hottest news of the day: Karl Rove is resigning. Last day's Aug 31st. Good riddance, Turd Blossom!!
Here's the official White House press announcement. Try not to barf on your keyboard.
But the most odious display of the day has to be Chris Matthews. You could almost make this into a drinking game. Take a swig every time Matthews puckers up to Rove's asshole.
With the cooperation of Bush & Co., oil corporations are already laying claim to some of the richest oil fields in the world, with no regard for the Iraqi people, and all of Bush's promises of freedom and democracy flushed down the toilet.

The fabulous Rich from the fabulous FourFour has put together a highlight reel from this week's Daft Punk concert out in Coney Island.
I REALLY wanted to go, but couldn't squeeze another ticket into my budget. And it breaks my heart, cause the band just does not tour enough, and I always miss them when they do. And, of course, the show looked AMAZING!
So, Rich honey, I am officially jealous. Like so jealous I could almost be furiously, unforgivably mad at you...
Curious as to what that big convention was all about, and what got Bill O'Reilly's panties so twisted that he repeatedly referred to the attendees and organizers as nazis?? TPMTV caught up with Markos Moulitsas, founder of the Daily Kos website, and asked him about the history of the annual meeting, the growing influence of the netroots, and where this is all headed.
Ever since Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) said that Jackie and Dunlap offended the state of Tennessee with their CNN/YouTube Debate video entry, the boys have had a grudge against him. So, now they've decided to express their feelings in song.
Jon Stewart and John Oliver have some fun with the audio confession of Florida State Legislator Bob Allen, who was caught soliciting gay sex in an undercover sting.
Just got back from the Beastie Boys show at Central Park Summerstage. So, how could I not post some Beasties?? Below are a bunch of the band's television performances over the last 20 years. They always manage to keep their shows just a little extra special...
"Intergalactic", performed at Wembley Stadium as part of the Live Earth festival, on July 7th, 2007.
"Three MC's and One DJ" & "So Whatcha Want", live on The Late Show with David Letterman, on February 8th, 2006, while promoting their film Amesome! I Fucking Shot That! Features footage shot by cast and audience members.
"Ch-Ch-Check It Out", live on The Late Show with David Letterman and the streets of Manhattan in 2004. This is probably one of the coolest musical performances ever on the Letterman show, and is a clear favorite for fans.
"Sabotage/Radio Radio", performed with Elvis Costello on lead vocals for the Saturday Night Live 25th Anniversary Special, on September 26th, 1999.
"Sure Shot", from the December 10th, 1994 episode of Saturday Night Live. (Listen carefully - Adrock says "fuck" on live TV.)
"Flute Loop", "Heart Attack Man" & "Sabotage", live at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 1994.
"Live at PJs", on Late Night with David Letterman in 1992.
"Fight for Your Right", live on The Late Show with Joan Rivers in 1987.
"Fight for Your Right", live on Japanese TV in 1987, complete with rude behavior, tons of profanity and some mild sexual content. I would love to know what the Japanese hosts were saying about this.
And as a special bonus, here's an actual half-hour cable access infomercial, produced by the Beastie Boys and aired nationally, before the release of Hello Nasty in 1998.
