• Breaking: Six More Weeks of Winter

  Religious leader/groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning which, depending on your belief system, either predicted or caused another six weeks of winter. Fox News leads with the news, then a few grafs down says "The Groundhog Day forecast for the Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, area suggests Phil will have trouble seeing his shadow," because no one wants to spend much time on this stupid story. Update: For those of you who cannot trust Fox News, USA Today confirms the shadow sight

• Is Bill O'Reilly Really the New Rape Victims Support Champion?

  Chris McCann Fox News motormouth Bill O'Reilly will appear at a benefit for It Happened to Alexa, a rape victims' support foundation, and some observers feel that, based on his previous on-air remarks about rape, this is akin to having Chris Brown be the spokesperson for Valentine's Day. Read and discuss.

• Doc Fined $20G for Fake Botox

  If your botox is making you depressed, maybe it was cut with downers or something. The Physicians Coalition for Injectable Safety, among others, has been warning us about fake botox for a while now, and Fox News reports that the menace is unabated: an East Syracuse doctor has been fined $20,000 for "injecting patients with an unapproved drug he told them was Botox." Ominously, they didn't say what Dr. Douglas Halliday, who has a one-star user rating from Vitals, was using instead. Halliday recen

• House Votes 90 Percent Tax on AIG, Other Bonuses

  The House just passed a bill to "levy a 90 percent tax on bonuses paid to employees with family incomes above $250,000 at companies that have received at least $5 billion in government bailout money," says AP. (Reason's David Weigel calls it the "Fuck you, AIG" bill.) We'll see whether this hastily-cobbled bill gets anywhere in the Senate -- Harry Reid wants the matter resolved quickly, but someone over there must be thinking about the constitutionality of such a law, as Fox News and Slate have,

  Ask Men picks the top cities for men -- you know, men, otherwise known as "males who reek of Axe Body Spray and pay over $50 for a haircut." No methodology is cited. Let us save you an assload of clicks: Paris is #10 because it's "a comfortable place to wait out the recession" (?) though "it in recent times has suffered from strikes and rioting" (mais non, monsieur, they enjoy les strikes et le riot); Copenhagen is #9 because it's the name of a smokeless tobacco; Hong Kong is #8 because Ask Men

  In the short week that we outsourced absolutely nothing to India (not even the phoner we didn't do with the guy who plays trumpet for Cake), we got even less cosmopolitan and global when Cannes correspondent J. Hoberman came back and showed up at the office like the rest of us. Except, unlike him, we still haven't seen Inglourious Basterds. We got around a bit though: Estelle pandered to the splendidly dressed masses at MOMA, while Drake broke a lot of hearts at S.O.B.'s when he offered both

• 2,000 Tea Party Denounces Obama Spending, Cheers USA, Fox News

  On February 28, a Tea Party demonstration in New York's City Hall Park drew about 250 protesters who decried President Obama as a socialist, a communist, and the second coming of Hitler. This evening's Tea Party on the edge of the same park was much, much bigger -- stretching on the west sidewalk from near the Park entrance nearly to Steve Flanders Square and, with the contingent across Broadway, comprising at least two thousand protestors. And the language, though dramatic, was slightly m

• Obama's Condiment Choice Criticized; Roquefort To Remain Legal and Untaxed

  August Martin High School in Jamaica now has a student-run restaurant on campus. The Cook's Cafe has students cooking for and serving faculty and staff, as well as planning the menu and balancing the budget. [NY Daily News] The European Commission and the US have reached an agreement that lifts the threat of a ban on Roquefort cheese, Spanish jamon and Italian sparkling water. In return, the US can now export triple the amount of non-hormone-treated beef to the EU (although we are still allowe

• Man Beaten in Village, Critically Injured (Updated)

  Our intrepid legman and Voice food critic Robert Sietsema writes to tell us, "There's a smear of bright red blood on the pavement, a few blood-soaked rags, some police tape connected to trash cans, and a Channel 7 Eyewitness News truck at the corner of West 10th and 7th Avenue South." From this morning's Fox News report, it would appear to be left over from an incident at 2:30 a.m. last night, when a 50-something man from upstate New York was beaten by several goons at Christopher and 7th Avenue

She railed against big gummint, signed the Founder's Day proclamation and received the key to the city. She spoke at a St. James fundraiser for an assisted living group home, where she talked about her special needs child Trig, and an autism walk in Purchase. She recorded an interview for Fox News. And she appeared at Ya

• Rightbloggers Mourn Michael Jackson's Death -- As Good News for Obama, Ahmadinejad

  It was no surprise to most of us when the death of Michael Jackson on Thursday took over the news, both mainstream and citizen varieties, and even the internet. Americans are suckers for celebrities, and the unexpected demise of one of the world's most famous entertainers was bound to obsess us. Many observers were concerned with the loss of attention the affairs of Iran would suffer as a result. Alarming News' KarolS tweeted: "Biggest losers? The Iranian people." Some hectored their fello

Whoops, breaking -- now they're showing the Staples Center on what looks like a gorgeous, sunny day for memorializing.

• What the Hell Is the "Hello Cow" Song?

  In the seedy underbelly of the internet that is Google's Hot Trends--"Vanessa Hudgens pictures leaked" (leaked?), "steven tyler dead," "lady gaga hermaphrodite picture," etc.--now comes "Hello Cow," a song that's been tearing up Google's charts all day, despite no real identifiable information about why America cares about this terrible song? It has something to do with Fox News and Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly and their program America's Newsroom, which I guess just did a feature on dairy cows

• Week in Review: More Topless Women Than Non-Topless Women

  photo from Girl Talk's Pool Party show by Sam Horine But seriously, this was a really depressing week. We said goodbye to Teddy Kennedy through song and so did Orrin Hatch. Ellie Greenwich, the woman who wrote "Be My Baby" also passed, as did 29 year old New York DJ Josh Link. Speaking of death, Michael Jackson, it turns out, was murdered by Acute Propofol intoxication. As always, we listened to a lot of stuff this week. Some of it quelled the summer of death 2009 anxiety: the bonkers track

  ​The Times lets readers know that they had a bit of a malware problem this weekend. "The malicious ad took over the browsers of many people visiting the site," the paper tells us, "as their screens filled with an image that seemed to show a scan for computer viruses." The scammers electronically masqueraded as Times advertiser Vonage so well that the Times' own ad operations team fell for it. The bogus ad told users they might have a virus and suggested they download "Personal Antivirus,"

• Fox News Gets Wind of Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger, Smells Sign of Apocalypse

  The infamous Krispy Kreme cheeseburger has been making the rounds for a few years and has recently experienced a resurgence of prurient interest. Now, Fox News has decided its existence is on par with that of Islamofascists and H1N1. Looking at footage of the 1,500-calorie zeppelins, an expression of disgust barely able to register on his shellacked features, Fox bobblehead Shep Smith says, "I don't know, man, there are signs of the apocalypse, you hear about them. This may be one of them." Giv

• White House Attack on Fox: Everybody W(h)in(e)s?

  ​A cynical person might ask how much Rupert Murdoch is paying the White House. This weekend Communications Director Anita Dunn told CNN "Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," that the network is "undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House," and that when Obama goes on the network (which he has no plans to do) he is doing so to "to debate the opposition." Fox News continues to play the conflict up on i

  ​Remember when dethroned Miss California Carrie Prejean sued the pageant organization for all kinds of not-very-pretty slander and discrimination issues? Well, nyah, nyah, nyah, they're suing her back! They say the tiara-challenged beauty's suit was merely a cheesy attempt to "extend her notoriety." So they're going to extend it even more by lashing back at the tempestuous vixen--you know, the one who cried victim even as she allegedly broke her contract more times than I've broken my Can

• Swine Flu Vaccine PANIC: Do We Have Enough, and Will It Kill Us?

  Swine flu vaccines will be in New York schools next week -- unless they run out: Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius admits there's not enough to go around at present. "Demand is ahead of the yield," she says; Senator Joe Lieberman says there are 30 million doses available, as opposed to the 40 million expected. "H1N1 Running Rampant Amid Shortage of Vaccine," claims Fox News. CDC reports a large spike in "Influenza-like Illness (ILI) Reported by the U.S. Outpatient," though
