The folks at Dorkly have created a Resident Evil campaign ad to help re-elect President Benford who, even if he is a human-eating zombie, is still a better American that his opponent.

Iowa responds to national coverage of their home state. Very funny, but as you’ll be able to tell in the first few seconds also very much NSFW.

Take a few minutes to check out this video which takes a frank look at PROTECT-IP Act which would effectively criminalize all sorts of standard web content including music playing in the background of videos, footage of people dancing, kids playing video games, and people performing cover songs. If the bill passes, even linking to pages where these exists would technically be a crime. How much (besides the obvious loss of freedom, of course) will we be paying for this governmental service? This can be yours, right now, for the low, low cost of $47 million tax dollars a year (for enforcement). If you like to find content on the Internet (crazy us, right?) and are moved by the video head here to sign a petition to fight the bill.

Taken from last week’s The Daily Show, here’s Jon Stewart outlining the basic difference between Democrat (“Hey, how about we tax those uber-rich guys a little?”) and Republican (“Why aren’t the poor paying more! After all, they can afford refrigerators!”) plans to solve the National Debt.

He just compared the President of the United States to a tar baby during a radio interview. Wow. The Congressman from Colorado has since issued an apology for using “a term some find insensitive.”

I can’t decide whether this is the self-appointed Tea Party Caucus leader’s admission that her entire crusade is out of its mind, the fact that the notoriously zombie-eyed Representative is in fact an evil undead horror, or just a continuing chapter in the dumbification of American politics.

But anyway, Michele Bachmann officially kicked off her presidential campaign* in Waterloo, Iowa by promising to mimic the spirt of Waterloo’s famous son, John Wayne. What’s more American than that? Except that Waterloo’s John Wayne would be John Wayne Gacy, noted clown and serial killer. The Duke himself was from Winterset, a few hours away.

Bonus fun: The war over who will control John Wayne’s wikipedia entry has begun! Someone has recently gone in to update the Duke’s personal info to reflect Bachmann’s version of the world and not say, reality.

Oh man, but it’s going to be one crazy, crazy election cycle…

* I hope her campaign song is “Run for the Hills”

Now that’s how to kick off a new season. On Real Time with Bill Maher Friday night the host took credit for creating the “unemployed, anti-masturbation activist” and pulled out this classic Politically Incorrect clip featuring current Republican nominee for the Delaware seat on the U.S. Senate (and Tea Party darling), Christine O’Donnell, admitting she “dabbled” in witchcraft and had a picnic on a Satanic altar.
