Lee Greenwood
George Bush just appointed Lee Greenwood, the guy behind “God Bless the U.S.A.” to the National Council On The Arts, where he’ll help dole out arts grants for the next four years (so, all of Obama’s first term). He can’t be removed. If you have

Pulling faces
Is this gif more or less mesmerizing than the Beyonce video? I watched the debate on rerun tonight, so I feel less involved than if I had watched it the same way as the other two, as well as the VP debate. Instead of paying attention as much as I
