Matt Taibbi Thinks He's Some Hot-Shot Linguist, Like Henry Higgins
Michelle Obama is the spokeswoman for the new and groovy United We Serve initiative. But consider this: first we were asked to "stand" united and now the government wants us to "serve" united?

What? Matt Taibbi has posted some sort of odd video from Russia, which he claims is very funny if you are like him and understand Russian. But wait, before you assume Taibbi is some sort of bilingual Tolstoy-reading Cossack genius: he posted the video at 1:02 a.m.! Yeah okay Matt, everyone speaks fluent Russian -- when they're drunk! This is so unlike you. [ Matt Taibbi ]
Some poor immigrant family had their door kicked in at 4: 00 a.m by a SWAT team, which then proceeded to handcuff all the teenage girls in the room. Whoops, wrong door!
