Geraldo Rivera criticized Fox News host Bret Baier for his interruption-heavy interview of President Obama Wednesday. Friday morning on radio program “Brian and the Judge,” Geraldo — a Fox News host himself — said that Baier should have treated Obama with more respect.

Twitter is so many things to so many people: infomercial, backyard fence, brain dump. The funny, famous, famous for the wrong reasons or simply very useful have thousands of followers, but who do THEY follow? Deposed “Tonight Show” star Conan O’Brien follows only one person, LovelyButton, a seemingly nice and happy 19-year-old named Sarah Killen in rural Michigan.

Marchesa was responsible for some of the Oscars’ most popular looks (including Sandra Bullock’s and Vera Farmiga’s ), so how do you feel about the dress Sarah Jessica Parker donned on Thursday night to the ShoWest awards ceremony in Vegas?

Pop quiz: Who has better hair than Sarah Palin, also seems to believe their proximity to another country makes them qualified to run a country and who, judging by the amount of untrue and contradictory statements they’ve said on the issue, might have a “secret plan” written on the palm of their hand? If you guessed Texas Governor Rick “Most Likely to Secede” Perry, then you’d get an A+, which is a better grade than most Texas students are getting these days after Governor Perry’s rejection of government funds destined for Texas classrooms.

Name the movie with the following plot… In a dystopian future, organ transplants have become a commodity and the giant corporation that sells them sends out repo men to take back hearts, kidneys and other innards from customers who aren’t paying their bills. Actually, that summary describes two completely unrelated film projects with two completely different creative teams from two different movie studios. Striking similarity in both the premise and in aspects of the marketing campaigns for the two films has caused confusion, bad feelings and an uproar on the Internet.

The assumption that terrorism and radicalisation is specific to a certain racial profile, religion and ethnic name is undermined by the arrest of two white American women allegedly conspiring to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist and the recent attack on the IRS building by a disgruntled Texan American. Alleged ring leader Colleen Larose, popularly known as “Jihad Jane” and Jamie Paulin Ramirez (”Jihad Jamie”), recently exonerated of all charges, are as American as Apple pie and The Liberty Bell due to their blonde hair, blue eyes, and white skin.

Vice President Joe Biden delivered some very funny one-liners Wednesday night at the 2010 Radio and Television Correspondents’ Dinner. While Biden certainly ventured into tongue-in-cheek territory with some of his jokes, he seemed to be well-received by the crowd of journalists, celebrities, and their guests. Bill O’Reilly, Evan Bayh, John King, Dana Bash, Jesse Jackson, Fred Thompson, Kathy Griffin, Leon Panetta, and more could be seen in the audience. Biden laughed at one point when a photo of him with White House gatecrashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi flashed on the screen.

In their opening remarks, the 2010 Whitney Biennial curators Francesco Bonami and Gary Carrion-Murayari confessed that they approached the selection process (gasp) open-mindedly, without a preconceived theme. Fortunately, the exhibition itself faithfully reflects their intent, presenting a resonant sampling of contemporary art practice. That is not to say that the show selection is thematically unfocused or ungrounded.

New Conservative Group Decries Tea Partiers for Not Being Conservative Enough March 12, 2010, Placer, California — The Home Front Protection Front (HFPF) held its founding conclave today at the Ebeneezer Rapture Holy Christ of Jesus Church. It was attended by thirty-five area residents, who reported feeling called to form a new political movement, disgusted with what they denounced as the “stench of liberal compromise” emanating from the Tea Party Movement, Glenn Beck, and the Republican Party.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The teen father of Sarah Palin’s grandson has been ordered to make interim child support payments of $1,750 per month to Palin’s daughter. The amount is 20 percent of 19-year-old Levi Johnston’s adjusted annual income as set out in Alaska statute. Bristol Palin, also 19, is the oldest daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008. Tripp, the son of Bristol Palin and Johnston, was born in December 2008. Johnston’s payments are based on estimated income of $105,000 and are retroactive to May 2009.

PHOENIX — John McCain and Sarah Palin are scheduled to campaign together in Arizona next week for the first time since they conceded the presidential election in Phoenix in 2008. Palin and McCain will be at a rally and picnic in Tucson on March 26, followed the next day by a rally in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa. McCain and Palin have had a couple of public appearances together, including a dinner in Washington, but the Tucson and Phoenix events are their first return to the stump.

Watch as Robert Gibbs goes into the belly of the beast to deliver the news that health care reform is going to become the law of the land — and it will become law of the land within the next week: The subtext of Gibbs’ statement couldn’t be more clear. Not only did he basically declare victory on the question of whether health care reform would pass, but he did so on Fox News, the biggest media cheerleader against reform.

“I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.” With these fighting words, Teddy Roosevelt shrugged off an assassination attempt by a deranged Milwaukee saloon owner and — bullet still lodged in his chest — launched into a ninety-minute address railing against the corporatism and corruption that dominated both parties in Washington. The year was 1912, a time of widespread discontent among both Democratic and Republican reformers.
