Alex Balk — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:30:53 +0000

A family in Stockton, CA, claims the image of Michael Jackson made itself manifest on their tree stump on the day of his death. "'Michael Jackson was an icon to us,' said one neighbor. 'To Stockton, Michael Jackson meant more to us than Jesus, to some people. I think they're both about even.'" MSNBC talking head/Awl photojournalism correspondent Ana Marie Cox, who was scheduled to appear on the tree prior to Jackson's passing, had no comment.

The Biggest Boat!

Alex Balk — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:05:39 +0000

Say hello to the world's largest private yacht, the "Eclipse." Try not to think of your own bank balance when you consider that the 557-foot ship cost more than $300 million to construct. Actually, try not to think of your own bank balance when you consider how much it will cost just to maintain. Actually, best not to think of your own bank balance at all. Look! Big boat! Exciting!

There is way too much going on in this picture of Nancy Reagan visiting with Michelle Obama at the White House, so I'll just put it up here. I mean, Jesus, who would have etc.? As a brilliant Russian philosopher once said, "What a country."

World Economy Propped Up By Naked Carla Bruni Photos

Alex Balk — Tue, 26 May 2009 13:30:26 +0000

Yet another topless photo of French first lady Carla Bruni is up for auction. This one was taken by photographer Pamela Hanson in 1994, and is titled "Carla Bruni in bed." A source close to Nicolas Sarkozy says the French president "has no problem with this because he knows that the only images of his wife in existence are tasteful, and also wants to remind you that he is, in fact, all up in that on the regular."

Obama and Tiger and that's all I'm saying.

God, always with the hating.
