"Anchorman 2" has its first official teaser. Two of them, actually. The trailer premiered in front of "The Dictator" in theaters this weekend (though you might not have seen it since Sacha Baron Cohen's film stumbled at the box office), but there are two different cuts -- one for U.S. audiences, and one for international viewers. The difference is in the jokes. For instance, in the U.S. clip above, Paul Rudd's Brian Fantana won't tell you about how it's "jean-creaming time." Still, the all-American clip does feature some wonderful bon mots, like this one from Ron Burgundy himself: "Hey America, did you miss my hot breath in your ear?" Or this, from Champ Kind (David Koechner): "There's going to be submachine guns and boobies. Whammy." ... Continue reading →
On Thursday, the New York Times reported on the efforts of a new super-PAC, backed by TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, dedicated to exposing President Obama as a radical, no-good "metrosexual, black Abraham Lincoln." But Barack Obama isn't our first metrosexual president. He's not even our first metrosexual Abraham Lincoln. Here's our quick guide to the 44 most metrosexual presidents of all time. 1.) Chester A. Arthur: The "A" is short for Argyle. (It isn't, really.) C-Span notes that our nation's 21st president "was nicknamed 'Elegant Arthur' because of his 'dandy' dressing." One biographer argued that Arthur's "happiest years" came during his stint as New York City customs collector, because the "increased income permitted Arthur to spend excessive amounts at his tailor." Chester A. Arthur: ... Continue reading →
Members of the Class of 2012, As a former secretary of labor and current professor, I feel I owe it to you to tell you the truth about the pieces of parchment you're picking up today. You're f*cked. Well, not exactly. But you won't have it easy. First, you're going to have a hell of a hard time finding a job. The job market you're heading into is still bad. Fewer than half of the graduates from last year's class have as yet found full-time jobs. Most are still looking. That's been the pattern over the last three graduating classes: It's been taking them more than a year to land the first job. And those who still haven't found a job will be competing with ...

NEW YORK — The phrase "Can you hear me now" has entered the jet age. Passengers on certain Virgin Atlantic flights are now able to use their cell phones to make and receive phone calls at 35,000 feet, the airline announced Tuesday. The British airline's new service could be a blessing for business travelers who want to stay connected during eight-hour flights across the ocean. It could also be a nightmare for the passenger sitting next to them. "I suspect most passengers, like myself, would prefer not to listen to somebody on the phone for what might be hours," said airline analyst Robert Mann. Only six passengers at a time will be able to use the system, which the airline says is intended "for use ... Continue reading →

Any television show that features plot lines about topics like gay marriage, AIDS, women's sexuality, death, and immigration could be considered controversial. But a television show that debuted in 1985 -- in the middle of Ronald Reagan's presidency -- tackling those topics? That's downright radical. And that's exactly what "The Golden Girls" was -- radical. But it was also incredibly human in the way it went about discussing subject matter that in many instances had rarely been talked about before on prime time television. Case in point: the above clip that began making the rounds on the Internet yesterday after President Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage. In the clip, Sophia, a devoutly Catholic matriarch, explains to her roommate Blanche why everyone deserves the ... Continue reading →
