Okay, first of all, videogames (electronic athletes) are going to be on nationally broadcast Televison this Sunday. Check your local listings.

Politics! Oh, those wacky CNN/YouTube debates. Good thing that among the crazy internet questions (slavery reparations whatthefuck), there were still ample opportunities for the "we probably couldn't get anything worse than we have now" hopefuls to deliver their canned lines.

Whatever dude, I still fucking loved the idea of the whole thing. From a business standpoint, way rad idea. CNN and YouTube are definitely going to cash in on this one, so a Colbert-esque tip of the hat to them. Whoever came up with the idea deserves a fucking raise. From a less superficial standpoint, the format of the questions turned it into more of a town hall meeting than anything else. Canned lines probably took a lot of tweaking.

Despite the more personal nature of the debate, the Republicans decided they were going to be all Luddite about it and withdraw. Giuliani cites "scheduling conflicts" as his reason for withdrawing; conflicts with fundraising scheduling. Yes, making more money to buy TV commercials is definitely a better idea than telling the people what the fuck they want to know. Mitt Romney, fucking dickbag, withdraws because he's apparently "above" this kind of debate. He thinks it's ridiculous for him to be answering questions to a snowman. Big fucking mistake, douchebag. Apparently he thinks that snowmen are real; if he didn't, he'd fucking realize that the snowman was the creation of a real live voter voicing a legit concern.

At least journalistic integrity is gonna help us through the '08 election. Check out this little gem by Washington Post fashion columnist Robin Givhan. So Hillary Clinton wears this suit, right? It's not the "strictly business" pantsuit you're used to seeing female politicians (lol) in. No, "She was wearing a rose-colored blazer over a black top. The neckline sat low on her chest and had a subtle V-shape." Oh man, I don't like where this is going. Where is it going, Robin? Please tell me. I'm dying to know. "The cleavage registered after only a quick glance. No scrunch-faced scrutiny was necessary. There wasn't an unseemly amount of cleavage showing, but there it was. Undeniable."

areyoufuckingkiddingme? If you actually look at a picture of the outfit in question, there's no fucking cleavage to be found. Trust me, I have a decent eye for it. But more importantly, who cares? Who the fuck watches FUCKING ELECTION COVERAGE thinking, "Hot suit, Hill. Grrrowl." Like, Goddamn, I kind of leave that up to people that jack off to C-SPAN, but nope, it's fashion reporters (surprised?). I'm sure there was some ridiculous, "provocative" reason that Hillary Clinton wore that outfit. I'm sure she didn't wear it because "it looked nice."

Goddamn, people.
