Comedian Whacks Bachmann for Planned Parenthood

“Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winsted is going on tour to fund Planned Parenthood, and Lucas Kavner of the Huffington Post insisted that this is somehow not leftist: While her comedy has always been inherently political – and she's not backing down from her own personal affiliations – this tour is not aimed at those on the right or left. It's merely to raise awareness and support for an organization that has been an essential part of her life. Earth to Lucas Kavner: did you watch some of her Minneapolis show, posted ahem, on your own website ? It took about 15 seconds for her to announce that saying Michele Bachmann performed well among the Republican contenders is “like being the smartest Kardashian.” She also added comic gems that only a secular leftist would love, like “I think she's hogging too much of God's time, which is why everything is so f—ed.” And “I don't understand why we don't treat Michele Bachmann with the same diligence as other nut allergies.” Winstead was the “HuffPost Greatest Person of the Day” for her charity tour. She hardly gets to lecture Bachmann on having a grasp of the facts, since she somehow thinks that Planned Parenthood has suffered “decades of depletion of resources,” which hardly reflects their financial report:

Zune Originals shut down, humans revert to being average and uncreative

Hard to believe that Microsoft’s been offering consumers the ability to customize their Zune purchases for the better part of four years now , but as they say, all unbelievable things must one day face reality. Er, something to that effect. Without so much as a heads-up, the designers in Redmond have apparently decided to shutter the Zune Originals storefront. As of this weekend, no new orders for highly personalized Zunes are being taken, with interested Earthlings encouraged to throw creativity to the wind and opt for a mass produced alternative within Best Buy or Walmart. So, you’re looking at two tidbits of import: if you placed your Originals order at 5PM PT on July 1st, you likely have quite the coveted device headed your way, and if you ever needed evidence that Microsoft was making WP7 its next Zune, well… you’re welcome.
