END OF THE WEEK:
It's Sunday morning. It's nearly 2 a.m. Let's just get this over with...
Picture of the Week: Rick Santorum's Picture Made Out of Gay Porn Stills
Glad that they at least made it out of the man, not Dan Savage's definition of the word.
Optimistic Statistic of the Week: First Time Jobless Claims in America at Four Year Low
The economy may still be having its problems, but the unemployment rate is also officially down to 8.3 percent while the DOW Jones is at its highest levels since 1997. Baby steps, people. Baby steps.
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: Maryland Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill; Expected to Be Signed by Governor
If everything goes well, Maryland will now officially be the second state this month to legalize gay marriage, joining the state of Washington. Add this with the debut of "Smash" and the season premiere of Ru Paul's "Drag Race" a few weeks ago, and this is the biggest month for gay people since the time Lady Gaga and Kathy Griffin both had TV specials on.
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Sasha Baron Cohen's Quest to Go to The Oscars as "The Dictator"
Yes, because the reputation of the Academy Awards has been pristine before Cohen decided to dress up as one the character in his upcoming movie.
Unlikely Allies of the Week: Mitt Romney and Ron Paul
Who both seemed like they were on a mission to tag team one another against Rick Santorum during this past week's Republican presidential debate in Arizona, the 20th and (hopefully) final one since the summer. Heading into the debate, the former Pennsylvania Senator with both the momentum and the lead in the polls after winning the trifecta in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado a couple of weeks back. But then he was given the unlucky position of heading into the seat right in-between the Texas congressman and former Massachusetts governor, where he then took a long and impressive two hour beating from each of the two (but mostly from Paul) about his character, his voting history, etc. Now, his momentum is waning, and it appears that things are expected to go back to normal again for the 12th time in this race, with Romney winning and looking like the front-runner again.
Video of the Week: "Maya Angelou Prank Show"
In one of the most consistently good episodes of "Saturday Night Live" in recent moment, this three minute sketch was the cream of the crop. Also, Maya Rudolph saying "act of whimsy" is officially one of my favorite things now.
Person of the Week: Whoever The Hell This Self-Indulgent Banker Is
for actually deciding that, as a tip, he would decide to go with what in his mind must have been a daring and bold political statement by paying the waiter only 1% out of his $133 bill and then writing "get a real job" next to it. I don't know who this guy is, but I'm pretty sure he's the same type of asshat who laughs at his own jokes and who is ironically the most demanding customer while eating out. If there was any other time for the Internet to do what they did to Herman Raju, now would be the time.
And that's the way it was! Enjoy Oscar Sunday, and enjoy the rest of the weekend as a whole!
