Emerald Catron — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:01:33 +0000

After a neck and neck online competition, President Obama today granted pardon to two turkeys, Cobbler and Gobbler. Cobbler, who likes eating cranberries and listening to Carly Simon, narrowly beat out Gobbler, the corn-eating turkey who loves bluegrass. (The voting took place via Facebook poll.) President Obama named Gobbler as Cobbler’s “alternate.” The pair will [...]

'South Park' Calls the Election Early in New "Obama Wins!" Season Finale Clip

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 00:00:29 +0000

If nothing else, 'South Park' will always be known for its lightning quick turn-around when it comes to production, often parodying topical events mere days after they occur. This was never more clear than 2008's "About Last Night...," which parodied the election results the night before, but has 'South Park' gotten even faster in recent years? Given that the next episode will be titled "Obama Wins!," 'South Park' seems to have predicted the decision for us! So what does the first clip reveal?

Barack Obama made an appearance on last night’s ‘The Daily Show‘ just 18 days before Election Day. What did the President have to say? Did he show his lighter side?

Floridians Fall For 'Onion' Article About Obama's 19-Year-Old Son

Donald Deane — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 18:01:47 +0000

Most people recognize satire when they see it, but not Floridians. Inboxes and Facebook pages of Florida residents recently received an article by The Onion describing an appearance by President Barack Obama's illegitimate 19-year-old son Luther at the Democratic National Convention. Incredibly, the story sparked a flurry of inquiries as to whether it was real. In case it isn't clear already, no, it's not. Duh. Clearly it's way too hot down there.

Barack Obama Gets Coveted Endorsement From Jeff Bridges as 'The Dude'

Emerald Catron — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 21:10:16 +0000

Although he says “Everyone’s got their opinion, man,” Jeff Bridges is pretty quick to back that up with “Obama’s the man” in this interview with CNN. Bridges will be performing at the Democratic National Convention to try to gain support for his efforts to end childhood hunger in America. But what kind of news anchor would somebody be if they didn’t ask him to impersonate his character from ‘The Big Lebowski’ and talk a little bit about politics?

'Eastwooding' Is Now a Meme

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:44:22 +0000

While the rumor all week has been that a Ronald Reagan hologram would be the “surprise” guest at the GOP convention, instead it was Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood who helped to introduce Mitt Romney in Tampa.

And we think it’s safe to say Eastwood’s performance was “surprising.”

Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney In the Smartphone Showdown Game of the Year

Emerald Catron — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:30:34 +0000

It’s not everyday that you get to see Mitt Romney smacked in the face with a hot dog or President Obama trounced with a balloon sword… Until now. Thanks to a new, free phone game called Vote!!!, you can see it every day. It might seem like they’ve lost sight of the point of democratic elections by making the two presidential candidates go toe-to-toe, but the folks at Epic Games could actually be on to something.

Barack Obama stopped by Jimmy Fallon’s live show at the University of North Carolina to talk about federally funded Stafford loans. It was more than talking, they slow jammed the news with a sweet and silky R&B groove. I was surprised at this because Jimmy Fallon’s show actually made me laugh a little bit.

Video Highlights The Similarities Between Obama And Reagan

Fantone — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 23:07:56 +0000

They don’t pay me to talk about politics here at the Banana, and I’m really not smart enough to anyway. But when I saw this video showing statements from Presidents Obama and Reagan regarding taxing the richest Americans, I figured I would share. I really don’t want to talk politics. It doesn’t matter if you [...]
