Ben Shapiro, proud of his, um, wood, outside a  Home Depot in his mocked viral video.   Ben Shapiro bought a little piece of wood at Home Depot.   This sounds like a who cares sentence, but leave it to Shapiro to make this into another farce.  Shapiro, for those who don't know him, is a young, hapless conservative pundit who is expert at self-owns and non-sensical, "helpful" suggestions.  A classic example: He once gave this simple, elegant solution to people who will eventually have their homes flooded by rising sea levels brought on by climate change.  Shapiro sees this as no problem at all.  The flooded homeowners can just sell their property and move.  Sell to who? Aquaman? Anyway, Shapiro is pissed off these days because several large Georgia-based corporations, like Delta and Coca Cola, object to Georgia's new voter suppression laws. Everybody knows the laws are meant to get rid of black voters to keep the GOP in various offices. (It n...

Off the rails a usual, the MyPillow guy and Trump fanboy says he's starting a social media site.  Which, for all we know will get him sued for another $1.3 billion.   Oh, Mike Lindell, the "My Pillow" guy.  Just gets further and further off the rails.  You have to admit the guy dreams big.  He's surely lacks the intelligence and power he thinks he has, but you be you Mike!    He has a pretty surreal couple of weeks,  but it seems he always does.  Mediaite tells us Lindell thinks he's practically a Get Out Of Jail Free Card: He's telling people if they're in trouble for taking part in the January 6 insurgency at the Capital, he just might be able to get you a reduced prison sentence.  He doesn't exactly tell you how, but you know, details details.  Maybe his pillows come with magic wands? Lindell seems to be a busy man.  As Mediaite reports , he was on Charlie Kirk's podcast last week, claiming he'll have his own social m...

We're happy to report the Great Gorilla Glue Hair Crisis of 2021 is over!  While the U.S. Senate held its impeachment trial of former president Trump last week, much of the nation was glued to the other major crisis:  That was the G reat Gorilla Glue In The Hair Crisis of 2021 .     A woman named Tessica Brown ran out of her favorite hair care product and made a fateful decision that was followed by millions of people.  According to Beauty IRL: "She ran out of Got2b Glued Freeze Spray, and decided to use a spray version of Gorilla Glue. As my friend (and Teen Vogue Fashion and Beauty Director) Tahirah Hairston pointed out to me: She could have been confused with Glorilla Snot, a 'superior hold' gel." I never knew fashion products could be so confusing, and now I can almost see why Brown might have been confused when she reached for the Gorilla Glue. Of course, she took her plight to social media. The initial video has been seen on TikTok more than 20 million ti...

Dolly Parton fixing Bernie's hair  Vermont's own Bernie Sanders was there at the inauguration, in that Burton overcoat, the medical mask and those awesome giant mittens  And arguably the internet's biggest, funniest meme was born. Tons of people had a lot of fun with it. Bernie sitting in mittens was ubiquitous.  Too bad we can't buy the mittens. The Vermont woman who gave Bernie those mittens as a gift no longer makes them.  So we can't really imitate Bernie.  We need to be content that there had to be several thousand of Bernie mitten memes within 24 hours of that famous photo appearing.  Some of my favorites are in this post.
