Which NFL Player Will Be The Most Charitable Of 2011? [CHARITY]

walter payton_2012_01_05

The Walter Payton award is given annually to NFL players for their volunteer and charity work.

Who will get it this year?

Personally, we're rooting for the Redskins nominee, Lorenzo Alexander - because, hey, we're suckers for D.C. sports players (read: Ovechkin).

Lorenzo has worked with tons of charities, from the Ride to Provide to the Aces Foundation.

But, no matter which sportsman wins the award, we'll cheer them on. Good work deserves to be rewarded!

mention machine_2012_01_03

Having a hard time keeping up with who's popular among the presidential candidates?

Fear no more!

Now, there's an app that will help you keep track of what's tweeting on Twitter.

That way, you know when people are loving Jon Huntsman because of some witty comment on global warming, or hating on Michele Bachmann for making weird comments about HPV vaccines.

And now, with the Iowa caucus commencing, let the wild rumpus begin!

Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker Says: 'Let's Move!' Into The New Year [FITNESS]

We know a ton of you have probably made healthy resolutions for 2012, like exercising and eating better food. 

(At least, until the McRib shows itself again.)

So, why not listen to New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker? He started an online challenge based on Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" campaign for people to make their fitness goals. And now, he's challenging people to some 2012 change!

We love the idea -- because once you go public with your decision to shed 20 pounds, it makes it harder not to follow through.

Good luck with your goals, everyone! We can't wait to see all you lovely people looking even lovelier in the new year.

What's Love Got To Do With It? Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama Are 2011's 'Most-Admired'

YouTubers tried to get Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to make babies.

Maybe they were onto something?

Gallup conducted its annual poll of America's "Most Admired" men and women, and our Secretary of State (who has won 10 times in a row) is America's "Most-Admired Woman;" and Mr. President is the year's "Most-Admired Man."

Other winners include George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama.

And, while it's nice to hear about all of the runners up, we're more concerned with making the sex happen.

Barack and Hillary: could you, like, get it on, already?

We're convinced their politically inspired offspring would not only be "admired" ... they'd rule the world.

Your Tax Dollars At Work: $2M On Coffee Enemas, Lemon Cures & Massage Therapy [REPORT]

We're all about wellness and alternative medicine, but we're not all about wasteful spending.

Sure, it would be nice to explore lemon-scent cures and the benefits of massage for people with cancer -- but not when our economy is taking a nosedive into the danger zone.

Recent reports reveal that the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, which is a part of the federally-funded National Institutes of Health, has spent almost $1.5 billion since its 1991 launch to learn more about skeptical treatments, such as:

  • Coffee enemas will not aid in pancreatic cancer treatment ($406,000)
  • Sniffing the scent of lemon will not help to heal external cuts and wounds ($374,000)
  • People with cancer feel better after a nice massage ($1,250,000)
  • Prayer from afar will not cure AIDS ($600,000)

We're totally against this wasteful spending like this ... unless, of course, there is a $2,000,000 government grant for retail therapy for tired bloggers?

Election 2012 Ballin': Mitt Romney Takes The GOP Lead [POLL]

It's show time!

Mitt Romney is leaving his competitors in the dust, according to the latest New Hampshire GOP poll by CNN/Time/ORC.

Here's the skinny:

  • Mitt Romney: 44%
  • Ron Paul: 17%
  • Newt Gingrich: 16%
  • Jon Huntsman: 9%
  • Rick Santorum: 4%
  • Michele Bachmann: 3%
  • Rick Perry: 2%

Sad news for Rick and Michele, but looking excellent for Mitt! And, he got money in the bank.

It's no wonder there are so many images on Google of him laughing.

Anthony Weiner: I Like Threesomes - Two Men + One Woman [OVERHEARD]

Just when our New York political nightmares had finally stopped, we overheard someone talking about a new Anthony Weiner scandal.

Did he post nakey pics online? Nope.

It's worse.

Anthony's old online flame, Traci Nobles, has revealed a conversation with him, which indicates that he has a fetish for sex with a woman and a man -- at the same time.


WEINER: "I'm not really talking about other chicks… How about with another guy?" NOBLES: "Hmmmm, haven't done it before."
WEINER: "It can be hot."
NOBLES: "Are you turned on by other guys?"
WEINER: "Well it depends on the guy, but generally yes."


Traci says this conversation is just one of many featured in her tell-all book, which she's shopping around to publishers.

Anthony, for the love of gawd: destroy all of your electronic devices ... now.

Sneak Peek: Newt Gingrich's Fancy New Tour Bus Hits The Road [PHOTO]

Watch out, Iowa!

GOP Candidate Newt Gingrich is coming for you -- in his slick "Newt 2012" tour bus.

Newt started his Iowa "Jobs and Growth" tour this week, and it looks like he'll be pretty busy!

His agenda includes stops by the National Farm Toy Museum and a vineyard. He's also squeezed in some time for interviews by Wolf Blitzer and Sean Hannity.

Newt's been doing pretty well in the polls. In fact, the latest Gallup Poll shows him in the lead. So, we're not surprised he's got a lot on his plate. 

Being popular isn't easy. We know from experience!

Nom, Nom: Baby Sticks Hand In President Obama's Money Maker [VIDEO + PHOTO]

Forget that video of the baby giggling and ripping paper.

We've got your daily dose of adorable children right here.

While vacationing in Hawaii, a baby posing for a picture with President Obama didn't feel like he was getting the attention he deserved (sounds like the White House Press Pool), so he decided to stick his hand in the POTUS' mouth.

The President took it well; he pretended to munch on the baby's hand until his mother noticed what was going on.

Nevertheless, that's what we call #awkward -- especially if you think about the things babies do with their hands. (See also: How Can I Get My Baby To Stop Playing With Her P**p?)

Two words, Barack: Listerine Pocketpaks.

White House Reporters Get No Holiday Respect - Just Pizza & A Charlie Brown Tree [NOTES]

Today, the First Family went to a cute chapel in Hawaii for Christmas service ... as the White House reporters waited.

Then, the Obamas went back to their Hawaiian vacation spot ... as the press pool waited.

But, it's not as bad as it sounds.

The White House reporters did partake in a special Christmas lunch of ... pizza. And, they do have a beautiful, yet tiny, Charlie Brown-style tree -- trimmed with just a single red ornament -- to enjoy while they wait.

And, even though there are signs all around Hawaii, welcoming the Obamas (think "E komo mai ohana Obama") ... the reporters get some love (think tourists with cameras, trying to push them out of the way so they can get a glimpse of POTUS).

We'd like to take a minute to send some happy holiday thoughts to the White House press pool and tell them that we truly appreciate them. ... Heck, we would have sent them either a candy cane or an e-card if we'd remembered. ... OK. We're done.

Now, back to the Obamas
  


Here are the notes we received today from the press pool:

The first family exited the chapel and the motorcade was rolling at 12:15. Arrived back in their neighborhood at 12:21. Pool is now holding at a nearby house to partake in a special Christmas lunch of ... pizza. Pool hold also has a tiny Charlie Brown-style tree, being trimmed with more than just a single red ornament. 

Spotted some onlookers on the base and along the road, plus a long line of traffic at the base entrance. Spotted a blue sign on the way onto Kailuana Place that read "E komo mai ohana Obama," welcoming the Obama family to town.

More details on the family:

FLOTUS's dress was white with an orange band around the waist and one stripe each in orange, pink and yellow around the full skirt. She was wearing orange flats. Walking to her right to her was Sasha in a dark dress with a colorful dot patter and holding a greenish-yellow sweater. The president walked to Sasha's right in his blue shirt and khakis. Malia was to his right in a white dress with white dots throughout. All three Obama women wore their hair in buns.

Herman Cain: Not Running For POTUS, But Still Campaigning [VIDEO]

We were surprised to see that Herman Cain had a holiday message for America -- despite the fact that he is no longer running for POTUS.

But, we're glad he did.

If we were mean, we would call this Herman's "Peace Out" video (since there is a peace sign hanging behind him and he is well, out). But, we're nice -- and we love us some Herman. So, our official statement is: "What a great move for him to make this holiday video!"

Here is the note he attached to his video: 

Take a moment and watch our Christmas video message, from myself, my family, supporters, and friends across this great nation of ours. As we experience the joys of Christmas this year, let us not forget the birth of Christ and what it means to mankind. I urge you to seek out and offer help and kindness to family, friends and those around us who are less fortunate, perhaps hungry and struggling through these harsh economic times. And a special prayer goes out to our brave soldiers, some far away from home this holiday season, and our hopes they return safely to their families. It is their sacrifice which has ensured all Americans the gift of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and we could not be more in debt, nor appreciative of their service. This is our family's favorite time of year and we wish you and your loved ones all the best in this lovely, forgiving and peaceful season. Have a great holiday and fantastic New Year. Sincerely, Herman Cain
 

You go, Herman! Merry Christmas.

Presenting our quick and dirty political roundup! ...
 


Occupy DC
