Andrew WK Makes Faces on Fox News
Musician Andrew WK made a dopey face while a dopey Fox News anchor asked him a dopey question. At least someone is being honest on that channel.

DadNews Daily – July 14, 2009
Some news about Dads, with our take on the issues at hand:
White House Retracts: First Lady’s Father Not Buried at Burr Oak
The story: “The White House, correcting earlier reports, says Michelle Obama’s father is not buried at a cemetery where workers are accused of digging up and dumping bodies but at a cemetery nearby.”
Our take: Oh, leave the First Lady alone, Fox News. I’m not sure if this is something they’ve been flogging or not. But I’m sure Fox did something annoying. They usually do. (Fox News)
Insanity Defense for Man Accused of Killing Father
The story: “Dail W. Brown Jr. believed that a ‘far-flung syndicate’ of government and private power brokers had infiltrated society, his lawyer said yesterday. When he discovered that his father, Dail W. Brown Sr., played a role in this evil syndicate, the son confronted his father, tumbled down some stairs with him and accidentally killed him at their Vienna home.”
Our take: Yeah. I’d say that sounds like he’s insane. (Washington Post)
Michael Jackson’s father: Singer couldn’t have done 50 concerts
The story: “Joe Jackson is stoking controversy again. The father of late pop icon Michael Jackson, who died of undetermined causes June 25 at age 50, told ABC News today that his son was not physically capable of performing the 50 shows slated for his This Is It comeback concerts in London. “I was worried about his health because all the shows that I’m seeing—no artist can do those many shows you know, back to back like that,” said he elder Jackson, who’s been criticized for comments he’s made in the wake of his son’s shocking death. “I knew Michael couldn’t do all those shows.”
Our take: Joe Jackson the singer-songwriter (“Is She Really Going Out With Him?“, “Steppin’ Out”, et al) should wage a massive media campaign to force Joe Jackson, the creepy weirdo who used to beat the crap out of Michael Jackson and is now doing everything he can to make money from his corpse, to change his name. Joseph Jackson, perhaps. Anything but Joe Jackson. Because really, who wants to share a name with such a major league jerkoff?

Fox News Says Obama Admits To Being An “Imperfect Father”
With typical spintastic use of the English language, Fox News managed to find a way to say something ever-so-slightly negative about President Barack Obama’s terrific Father’s Day essay in Parade Magazine. Read more »
Fox Anchor Says Barney Frank Is a Catcher
You know. A catcher. As in a back-door man. A bottom, if you will. Do I have to keep going with this?
Huffington Post goes with the obvious hypocrisy of Fox News (this particular Barney Frank jibe was on the less-watched Fox Business Channel), since the network complained about the inappropriateness of “teabagging” jokes and then makes a (fairly lame) gay joke. But (no pun intended) I’ll go with a different angle. Fox is supposedly a news outlet. It’s one thing for a comedian (say, Wanda Sykes, whom Fox News is ripping for her performance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner) to make a joke that’s potentially offensive. It’s another for a channel that claims to be a news outlet to do it. It’s a cheap joke that isn’t even particularly funny, but the real problem is that this is a place where people actually think they’re getting news.

Autotuning The News
This is well-done. It’s worth it to hear Newt Gingrich and, later, Joe Biden.
