* President Obama is a gaffe factory, from The Onion.

Quote Unquote: Patton Oswalt on Politics, Pudding and Porn Stars

Comedian Patton Oswalt on the changing face of politics in America…

"If you want any say in running things, in being prominent, in being taken seriously, then you’d better make fun of yourself. The next president not only will have to have the best economic plan, but he’ll also need to be the funniest in sketches and YouTube videos. No one will respect you until you willingly take yourself down a few dozen pegs. The public no longer wants to be bothered with pulling the exalted from their pedestals — they’d better do a belly flop, of their own volition, preferably into a wading pool of pudding. And then wrestle a porn star."

I don't know. It's kinda hard for me to imagine any of these GOP candidates debasing themselves on a national stage for our entertainment.

Our Endorsements: Hitler-Size Me!

* Remember when people used to say nice things about President Obama? He doesn't either.

* Some politicians take job creation very seriously, and then there's this guy.

* "Hank Williams, Jr." makes a valid argument about cats with Hitler mustaches.

* This would win a caption contest.

* Jesus believed in free parking for everyone? Sounds like socialism.

* Patton Oswalt discussing Occupy Wall Street and the free market: The idea of grunge rock was amazing, but unfortunately, Limp Bizkit got ahold of it.

From the Pork Barrel: Turbaconducken!

* Lame duck sessions suck. But maybe if they were stuffed inside a chicken and a turkey… And then all wrapped up in bacon… Oh, that's the spot.

* Basil at IMAO: Bail out the Big Three up north or build a fence around the South to keep all the unemployed Democrats out.

* Mo Rocca: Who would make a better teacher for the Obama girls: Mrs. Garrett or Edna Krabappel?

* Asking, telling: Still frowned upon by upcoming Obama administration.

* 23/6's Lee Camp: Ten questions that must be asked of Barack Obama before he's sworn in.
