Would Anne Frank have been a Beleiber
Teenage heartthrob and recent controversy magnet Justin Bieber has again left the internet slack-jawed, this time over comments left at the Anne Frank House. The Canadian pop star used part of his downtime from touring the cities of Europe to visit the Amsterdam hiding place of the young Holocaust victim, which has since been turned into a museum. Alas, in comments left in the Anne Frank House guest book, he opened himself up to ridicule and online anger. "Truly inspiring to be able to come here," he offered. So far, so acceptable. Then came the hand-slap-forehead moment: "Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber." Source: gu.com/p/3f5yc/tw
Meghan McCain gracefully conquers Ann Coulter
Meghan McCain gracefully conquers Ann Coulter's death wish with fierce dignity On April 12, Meghan McCain tweeted a series of dignified responses on her Twitter account to officially put an end to the morbid controversy generated by the reprehensible murder suggestion remark directed toward her from political pundit Ann Coulter, who refused to apologize for the abhorrent comment in an April 11 appearance on the Fox News Channel “Hannity” program. Ann Coulter originally made the contemptible statement in a column offering Meghan McCain as her personal choice for a family member of a Republican senator who could be killed to generate greater sympathy for gun control bills currently being debated in the U.S. Senate. Coulter claimed the revolting comment was in response to a gruesome [...]
42 Shows Us The Greatness That Is Jackie Robinson (… Republican?)
By Kevin Williams Starting today, probably the biggest baseball story of the last century is being re-told in your local movie theater… via a little baseball film simply called 42. What does a baseball film have to do with Politisite, you might say? A lot actually. Jackie Robinson, the amazing wall-breaker of Major League Baseball is a man who many don’t know much about - except for what he did at the ripe age of 28. That is not to minimize anything that Jackie Robinson did during that momentous baseball season of 1947 and the tumult he, his teammates and his Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey went through. I make this point to highlight the fact that it would seem that his life began and ended in one baseball season. Well, it didn’t. Jackie Robinson, [...]
Jay-Z Raps About Cuba – Obama ‘You Gonna Get Me Impeached’
President Barack Obama told Jay-Z he was worried the rapper's controversial trip to Cuba would cost him the White House ... this according to Jay-Z. Hova just released a new rap, in which he addresses all of the drama surrounding his trip to Cuba last week with his wife Beyonce.

Treasury: it’s OK Beyonce and Jay-Z Cuba Trip was ‘Educational’
Singer Beyonce and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter traveled to Cuba “pursuant to an educational exchange trip” organized by an authorized company, the U.S. Treasury Department said in response to inquiries from Florida lawmakers. The trip by the celebrity couple spurred widespread media coverage after two U.S. representatives from Florida, Republicans Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, asked the Treasury who approved the travel and for what purpose. U.S. law prohibits financial transactions for tourist activities in Cuba to prevent funding of the government, which controls the industry. The Treasury permits visits for educational reasons.

PM Margret Thatcher: “No! No! No!” to the Euro – YouTube
A heavily edited version of Margaret Thatcher's statement of 30 October 1990 to the House of Commons on the European Council meeting at Rome held on 27/28 October. The Council was meant to discuss the Uruguay Round on General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade which was due to end in a few months but for which the EC had not developed a policy (alone out of the trading blocs). However the Italian Prime Minister, Giulio Andreotti, decided that the Council would refuse to discuss the GATT and instead push for the final stage in European Economic and Monetary Union in an attempt to get Thatcher to either agree or to force her to say "No" and thereby bring about her downfall by Europhile members of her party. Thatcher's hostility to a federal Europe led to Geoffrey Howe resigning from the [...]
