Conservative Project Veritas auteur James O’Keefe, last seen upsetting deceased veterans’ widows, has published a new undercover “investigation” that he claims shows “the ease in which individuals may register to vote for themselves or others without identification requirements of any kind” in Minnesota. Progressive blogger Brad Friedman explains why, even if true, it hardly matters. Mediaite explains that it isn’t even true.

Vice President Joe Biden has been part of the Executive Branch of the United States for nearly four years, but astoundingly, he remains an enigma to much of the state of South Carolina, according to a survey by researchers at Winthrop University.

So… I’m going to go ahead and let this video speak for itself, for the most part, but here’s a little bit of context to get you started: This video was created by a stand-up comedian named Dave Ackerman, and the school he’s visiting is Brigham Young University.

Last night was a huge night for Rick Santorum with caucus wins in Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado. Many were fairly shocked by the strong showing for the GOP candidate (some quite amusingly so). However, there’s one guy who isn’t showing any surprise whatsoever. That guy, of course, is Rush Limbaugh. Not only is he not surprised, he spent time on his show to knock those in the Republican establishment who were unprepared and didn’t see the Santorum coming.

Joe Hildebrand, a columnist for Rupert Murdoch‘s News Corp. in Australia, has come under fire for a series of tweets that mock the mentally handicapped, the “retarded,” the Irish, and blondes. It all started with a tweet about airport personnel, but Hildebrand’s reaction to criticism of his remark escalated into a full-on “politically incorrect” display of shamelessness that had one colleague calling him “a disgrace.”

On Sunday’s Meet the Press New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that “we need to stop demonizing Wall Street and all work together for the good of the country.” At least he got one part right. Because if Wall Street has been demonized, it’s safe to say the Pope’s favorite number is 666. There’s been a lot of talk in President Obama‘s administration, but very little action when it comes to Wall Street and their antics, which were partly responsible for the home foreclosure crisis and completely responsible for the risky investments that led to billion dollar bailouts shortly thereafter. It’s past time for President Obama to get aggressive.

Well, this is awkward. As you may recall, Apple was left with a bit of an uncomfortable PR situation late last year, after folks discovered that the iPhone’s friendly electronic helper, Siri, ‘refused’ to direct users to abortion clinics. As it turned out, no, there was not an anti-choice agenda behind Siri’s attitude — just crummy beta technology glitchiness.

As we all know, there is a horrible scourge affecting our nation. I speak, of course, about scientists. They’re constantly trying to warp our precious American values with their “facts” and “consensus” and “peer reviewed scientific method.” Basically, you’re either with America or you’re with the scientists. Surprise, surprise. Guess who President Obama’s with? He answered that question decisively by hosting some kind of “Science Fair” and joining one of the little terrorists in attacking his own White House with a deadly marshmallow gun!

One of the beauties of the transfer of power from major media operations to individuals, bloggers and tweeters is that they — we — can all serve as a sort of fact-checking peanut gallery. So it’s hard to imagine that, in this day and age, the mainstream media could repeatedly misstate the holding of one of the most significant Supreme Court decisions without being roundly excoriated. Not a matter of opinion or a partisan viewpoint, but, simply parroting a mistake or lie about the holding in that crucial ruling.

Sweater vest fever is sweeping across the Midwest! Rick Santorum has picked up 2 out of 3 states on Tuesday night. CNN has projected Rick Santorum has won Missouri and the winner in Minnesota as well. Colorado, at the moment, is still undecided.

The New York Times is reporting that the District Attorney will not pursue rape charges against Fox anchorman and NYPD commissioner’s son Greg Kelly.

Today on his radio show, Glenn Beck jumped into the scandal surrounding a tweet sent out by CNN’s Roland Martin during the Super Bowl. GLAAD is calling for Martin’s firing for what they perceived as an anti-gay attack in the tweet. Beck explained that Martin should be fired, but not for what he wrote. Rather, because he’s a “dope” and an “idiot.”

We should have expected that not everyone would be a fan of President Barack Obama‘s fashiony fundraiser, Runway to Win. On Tuesday, the Republican National Convention released a video characterizing the fashion show and resulting product line, organized by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, as an elitist spectacle that recession-stricken Americans can’t afford to participate in.

President Obama has decided to give his blessing to Priorities USA, an “unaffiliated” Super PAC that will raise money on his behalf. Unaffiliated in the legal sense — the president will not correspond with the group as required by law. But obviously by giving his public blessing Priorities USA will be far more likely to raise funds from big money Democratic donors. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with this. It’s legal and GOP candidates are already using Super PACs to their full advantage. But there is something very wrong with this. Let President Obama tell you in his own words circa the State of the Union in January 2010

Karen Handel — a controversial figure throughout the debate on Susan G. Komen’s decision to pull funding from Planned Parenthood’s breast cancer screening services — has offered her resignation today.

The influence of independent expenditure groups like PACs and SuperPACs has become a major factor in this year’s presidential election. Consequently, the news that President Obama has decided to encourage donations to the Priorities USA Action SuperPAC is dominating political news today, with handwringing on the left and the right about the President’s prior vocal opposition to outside groups. Philosophically, he’s just taking a page from Ronald Reagan‘s book.

Is Mitt Romney running out the clock on the Republican nomination? According to Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker, Republican frontrunner has stopped taking questions from voters on the campaign trail. In fact, he hasn’t answered a question from a voter in three weeks.

As you can tell from the fact that all of your friends are tweeting with the hashtag #makeitplatinum today (Oh, wait. They aren’t? I see.), one of the big reveals from last night’s Super Bowl ads was Bud Platinum, a new product that turns typical Bud Light into a top shelf liquor…or something. Anyway, the fine folks over at Jest have already produced a pretty dead on parody in “Budweiser Good,” a beer that’s brewed to actually taste good.

In a wide-ranging interview with MultiChannel News’ Mike Reynolds, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly accused MSNBC of not dealing in facts, compared himself to Howard Cosell, and explained how he single-handedly saved Inside Edition.

In the wake of his 2-minute commercial for Chrysler during yesterday’s Super Bowl, Clint Eastwood has come under fire from conservatives accusing him of ostensibly making a campaign ad for President Obama.

On Interstate 70 west of Saint Louis (a dull stretch), there used to be something called “The Elvis is Alive Museum.” It was founded at some point in the late ’80s or early ’90s by Bill Beeny, an accountant and Elvis impersonator. Its simple premise: Elvis is still alive and we have the evidence that proves it.

Back in May of last year, The Onion wrote a silly article satirizing the growing ridiculousness of the charges being levied against Planned Parenthood entitled “Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex.” Unfortunately, due in part to the anti-PP tidal wave being brought forth by conservative media and the sad fact that there were still people in 2011 that didn’t understand The Onion or satire, a number of people thought the article was real, sharing it on social media platforms.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has called out columnist and CNN contributor Roland Martin for a Tweet he made during last night’s Super Bowl.

It’s the day after Super Bowl Sunday, so the media is busy wringing every last drop of hype out of its annual High Holy Day, dissecting ads, gasping at MIA‘s middle finger and Madonna‘s near-faceplant, and this: Gisele Bundchen, wife of losing Patriots QB Tom Brady, was caught on tape saying, through a barrage of Giants fans’ heckling, that “My husband cannot f**king throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time!”

In case watching 53 year-old Madonna gyrate her way through a high-octane Super Bowl halftime show last night had you feeling not-so-bad about your own advancing years, Monday morning brings the re-sobering news that Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose is 50 years old today. Welcome To The Dayroom, we got free coffee, Parcheesi, and most of a chess set!
