Joe Scarborough Denies He And Mike Bloomberg Will Run as Independent Presidential Ticket in 2012 (VIDEO)

by Jeremy Taylor, posted Nov 17th 2010 4:35PM
In article published on the Huffington Post Tuesday, veteran political journalist Howard Fineman reported that Mike Bloomberg and GOP-congressmen turned television pundit Joe Scarborough are making plans to run for president together.

On 'Morning Joe' (weekdays, 6 AM ET on MSNBC) Wednesday, Scarborough, who would likely be the VP candidate in this scenario, vehemently denied Fineman's story:

"Mike Bloomberg and I have not talked about this directly, or indirectly, or super, super secretly indirectly," Scarborough explained.

"Could you imagine a worse vice president?" Scarborough wondered about himself. And indeed, his 'Morning Joe' colleagues all agreed that Scarborough's bluntness would make him an uniquely awful vice-president.

While Scarborough couldn't be more adamant in his debunking of Fineman's report, the only statement in America life that is more suspect than a politician denying he's seeking higher office is Brett Favre claiming he's retired.

Dr. Andrew Weil doesn't like medicine commercials

by Bob Sassone, posted Aug 26th 2009 2:29PM
pillsIf I were to pick one commercial genre that I can't stand it's the pharmaceutical genre. Why do we even have commercials for Lipitor or Celexa or Flomax? The ads are always telling us to "Ask our doctor" about a certain medication.

You know what? I trust my doctor to know that, if I have a particular medical problem he's going to know what treatment is best for me and which treatment I should avoid. It just seems bizarre to me (and doctors I know) that there are commercials on TV for prescription medicine, as if we are knowledgeable enough about it to make a connection to a health problem we have.

Tonight's Penn & Teller might actually make taxes interesting

by Bob Sassone, posted Aug 6th 2009 2:22PM
On a new Penn & Teller's Bullshit tonight at 10 on Showtime, the duo tackles taxes. Should we pay them? Is it patriotic to pay them? The latter view is held by The Huffington Post's Roy Sekoff, who appears on the show to defend that view. I haven't seen the entire episode, but I'm guessing Penn disagrees.

Brothers & Sisters creator asks Governator to do something about WGA strike

by Liz Finn-Arnold, posted Nov 9th 2007 1:23PM
Governor Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe WGA strike continues. And it doesn't look like there's an end in sight (as all negotiations have stopped). The longer the strike lasts the greater impact it will have on the economy -- especially the California economy. So what is California's Governor Schwarzenegger doing about it?

Nothing, according to Brothers & Sisters creator Jon Robin Baitz. In an open letter to the Governator, on yesterday's Huffington Post, Baitz basically accuses Schwarzenegger of "fiddling while California burns."

Stephen Colbert drops out of presidential race

by Jen Creer, posted Nov 5th 2007 3:20PM
Stephen ColbertHe's out! Stephen Colbert is not going to be America's next president, or indeed, even the next presidential candidate.The South Carolina Democratic Executive Council voted to keep Stephen Colbert's name off the primary ballot, which pretty effectively ends his presidential campaign. Nevertheless, Colbert would not be Colbert without making a showy public withdrawal.

Colbert has been running for president in South Carolina, and chronicling his campaign adventures on The Colbert Report. Despite Colbert's position as a mock Republican, he campaigned as a Democrat, probably -- as The Huffington Post notes -- because it was less expensive to file as a liberal.

wga strike
By now, you've surely heard about the writers' strike currently in full swing across the television and film industry in New York City and Los Angeles. And apparently, the writers are not the only ones getting in on the act. The Huffington Post is reporting that Jon Stewart of The Daily Show has committed to pay the salaries of his own writers and those of The Colbert Report for the next two weeks, so his writers won't be harmed financially by the strike during that period.

If Bob Saget only had 24 hours to live

by Adam Finley, posted Jul 12th 2007 7:01PM

bob sagetThat's the topic of a post over on the Huffington Post by Bob Saget. The comedian, former Full House star and current host of 1 Vs. 100 ponders what he would do if he suddenly found out he only had 24 hours left in his life. Apparently, he'd spend a lot of time on a plane and laugh at his mother being injured in a surfing accident.

It's a funny piece, but my favorite was this comment, left by a poster named Crowhaul:

Bob, you don't need to be 'funny'. You've been there, done that. Why not hit us with some voice, instead. Need a subject? How about the tens of thousands of kids we've orphaned in Iraq? Dig deep, Bob. Get pissed.

Celebrity blogs you should be reading

by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 17th 2007 1:40PM

John HodgmanA while back, I showcased some blogs that celebrities were (at the time) keeping. David Duchovny had one for a while, but it was just to promote one of his movies and he stopped it. Zach Braff had one for Garden State, but doesn't update it as much as he used to at his new site (though it's still pretty entertaining). And of course we know that Rosie O'Donnell updates hers, a little too much probably.

But there are other TV celebs who blog too, so it's time for an update. After the jump, a list of some of the better blogs out there.

Should there be a Jack Bauer merit badge?

by Meredith O'Brien, posted Feb 5th 2007 12:29PM

Jack Bauer on 24A Huffington Post blogger has a suggestion for the Boy Scouts of America. Forget about starting fires with sticks for the sole purpose of roasting marshmallows. Blogger Marshall Fine has some more practical advice: Offer a Jack Bauer merit badge.

He urges the National Guard and the Boy Scouts to create a reality TV show which would put Scouts through several tests and inevitably yield boys who have the Bauer-like skills needed to fight terrorists.

Included among the skills they'd be expected to master to earn the badge: Creating fireballs, knocking people unconscious with a paddle whittled with a pocketknife and "learning the correct moment at which to threaten the interview subject's eye with a kitchen knife and his family with painful death."
