State Dinner Crashers: Taking Attention Whoring to a Whole New Level

As if we couldn't end 2009 without yet another gates scandal, November brought us Gatecrash 2009 to go along with Gates-gate and Kanye-gate (it should be noted that I'm a bit disappointed that "gate" was used as a prefix instead of a suffix this time). Though all of the gates are really unfortunate, the factors surrounding Gatecrash makes it an expecially cringeworthy gate for me, namely for the fact that the it involves the President, and the fact that the individuals who instigated … more

"Two Guys Walk Into a White House..."

Within the entire world, there are few compounds that are supposed to be more secure than the White House.

Take The Enter the Dragon Approach and Move On Already

Does anyone remember the film Enter the Dragon? In the movie Brue Lee slips by the bad guy's guards to get to places on the island he shouldn't be. What did the bad guy do? He didn't complain about Lee, instead he made the guards fight Bolo to the death. Why isn't the White House learning from this film? i.e. fix the security, stop publically complaining about the couple and move on.
