No Labels relaunch includes embarrassing anthem

Just when we thought it wasn’t possible to take the bipartisan organization No Labels any less seriously, Buzzfeed points out that the organization has a previously overlooked cheesy anthem written by AKON and performed by R&B singer Debroah Cox.

Although the song is nearly a year old, Cox’s performance of the song Monday at No Labels’ ‘Meeting to Make America Work!’ at the Marriott Marquis in New York City drew new attention to the ballad.

Although he enjoyed playing the President of the United States on the big screen in ’Independence Day,’ and more recently, playing POTUS on NBC’s newest sitcom ‘1600 Penn,’ actor Bill Pullman says he has no desire to run for office in real life.

Don’t give up on ’1600 Penn’ until after you’ve watched tonight’s episode

This article doesn’t contain spoilers.

There’s really no other way to put it. The first episode of NBC’s new sitcom ‘1600 Penn was really bad. And not bad as in bada**. Bad as in embarrassingly awful.

But don’t give up on show just yet. Although ’1600 Penn’s’ producers released a C+ pilot last month that screamed mid-season cancellation, the show’s future episodes, including tonight’s season premiere, are every bit as funny as you’d hoped they’d be.

As you may recall, last week Red Alert Politics reported that L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa had been caught partying in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with former Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen.

Women care about issues other than reproductive rights, Emily’s List President says

In an attempt to capitalize on President Obama’s recent electoral victory, Emily’s List President Stephanie Schriock held a press conference Monday to announce a stunning revelation: Women care about other issues besides reproductive rights.

Yes, it seems that the party that wanted women to vote with their lady parts has come to the realization that the way to win over women is by appealing to their lady smarts. 

Harry Reid claims Hurricane Katrina was “nothing in comparison” to Superstorm Sandy

Speaking on the Senate floor Friday afternoon in favor of a Sandy aid package, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) claimed that Hurricane Katrina was “nothing in comparison” Superstorm Sandy.

In the remarks, Reid pointed out that its taken months to pass relief measures for the residents of New York and New Jersey who were affected by Sandy, whereas it only took two days to get to Katrina aid to people Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

“The people of New Orleans and that area, they were hurt but nothing in comparison to what happened to the people in New York and New Jersey,” Reid said. “Almost 1 million people have lost their homes.”
