While 'Lincoln' might not have taken home the Oscar for Best Picture, it was considered one of the best films of the year by many a critic, mainly for Daniel Day-Lewis' exceptional performance as Honest Abe. In light of the film's success, what is its director Steven Spielberg planning as a follow-up?

During Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Barack Obama revealed the first behind-the-scenes footage from Spielberg's next project, 'Obama,' which re-teams him with...Day-Lewis in the title role? Take a look...

Did The History Channel Make The Devil Look Like Obama?

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 11:58:01 +0000

The History Channel’s representation of The Devil is causing controversy. Many viewers of ‘The Bible’ have taken to social networks to point out similarities between the 10-part miniseries’ Prince of Darkness and Pres. Obama. Conservative commentator Glenn Beck was (naturally) among the first to comment on the resemblance. Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible [...]

The Best Meme Reactions to Trump's 'Major Announcement'

Emerald Catron — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:33:21 +0000

Donald Trump's "major announcement" was a major disappointment. Although we can't say we're majorly surprised. He essentially agreed to pay money to charity, but only if Pres. Obama releases his college and passport applications and records. What a delightfully effective way to let everybody know you're awful. Here are the best meme responses that sum up the awfulness of Trump's big announcement.

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.

Emerald Catron — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 16:16:06 +0000

Remember the “you didn’t build that” debacle? It turns out if you take enough of President Obama’s words out of context you can make him do a little rap song that sounds remarkably like “U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer.

Kool FM Listener Submission – 'The Man Barack'

Landon King — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 14:36:08 +0000

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:56:12 +0000

During an appearance on ‘David Letterman’ last week, Justin Bieber wouldn’t say if he would vote for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. (Of course, he doesn’t actually get to make that decision, as the 18-year old is a citizen of Canada and not the United States.)
