One thousand apologies for the Thompson headline…but this ridiculousness deserves no other title.
A war of the egos is brewing between your angry neighbor Sean Hannity and flaming ideologue Keith Olbermann that has finally spilled over into a fifth dimension of absurdity. Hannity, who knows America can do no wrong, moronically agreed to undergo waterboarding after being antagonized to do so by actor Charles Grodin, whom I’ve never heard of. Hannity announced he would undergo waterboarding for charity, heroically proclaiming, if you will, to do it for “the troops’ families,” because there’s nothing more heartwarming to a grieving mother than seeing a bloated and confused man have water forced down his neck.
Keith Olbermann, anxious for a crusade, then called on Hannity to keep his word, offering to pay $1000 for every second Hannity is waterboarded. Olbermann hopes Hannity will be transformed by the experience, that the torture will make the commentator see the grave severity of waterboarding. While I agree Hannity could be changed by this experience, I am disgusted by Olbermann’s willingness to take part in this circus of stupidity.

In a time of economic hardship, political unrest and federal deficit, the United States Mint has the wisdom and vision to unite all Americans in saying “Fuck the Lincoln Memorial”. The Mint has done away with pesky pennies, America’s least valuable coin and the only money in production that the U.S. produces at a loss. Pennies, which most American’s deem unworthy of picking up off the ground, are an undeniable pest and often create transactions costs that outweigh their value. The destruction of the penny would be a tremendous boon to the government and citizen of the United States, were it not being replaced by four types of pennies commemorating the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth and 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Head penny’s release. The new pennies, which I can only assume are produced at an even greater cost to taxpayers, furthering our national debt pennies at a time, include such incredible and necessary items, as seen after the jump.
