Health care bills making my head explode

So I will just not think about them today. Instead, for your amusement I offer you:

Kottke.org give us "Barack Obama, Jedi Knight"

Obama asked them to "cut the president some slack" but NO, his off-the-cuff comments about the VMA award show are all over.

Barely Political imagines the rest of "hot mic" conversation after Obama called Kanye a jackass.

Yet another "Downfall" parody with the Kanye meme.

Anna Marie Cox and Jason have fun annotating the White House Flickr feed.

But Ta-Nahesi Coates explains the difference between getting a laugh out of internet memes and the self-righteous huffing and puffing about civility that whitewashes (yes, meaning pretends to be blind to racism) our discourse on who gets to interrupt in public. I'm too lazy to do more than link and say "what he said!"
