Breaking! Museum News!

The Newseum is back, baby! (Well, almost.) Now, who's coming with me to D.C. so we can get our word on?

My Star Burger Makes The List

Laura's favorite burger to hate on, The Baconater, made Consumerist's list of the "5 Most Butt-Blimping Fast Food Burgers." Despite all the hatred being heaped on this luscious pile of meat, I still contend that The Baconater is delicious fare. I have not, however, eaten The Baconater in six-plus months as I have no interest in attaining double-wide size status.

Yay!

Finally, finally, finally, it seems like the writer's strike is coming to an end. Life is once again worth living. Here's a link with the scoop on which shows will likely be able to produce a few more episodes this season, and which ones will just be waiting to the fall.

Bittersweet Surrender...

Well, Mitt Romney has exited the presidential race, and while I think an over coiffed douchebag like himself has no place in the White House, I'm sad to see him go. Who will I make fun of now. And, as Greg so eloquently pointed out -- What in the hell are we going to do when President McCain kicks the bucket a month into office and we have to suffer through 4 years of President Huckabee?

I feel like a photo montage is in order. Or, maybe a Best of "Why I hate Mitt Romney." But I'm too tired to sort through all the magnificent fodder suitable for relentless mockery. Sigh.

Farewell Mitt Romney, Farewell.

Another Round of Celebrity Endorsements

VS.

I never really thought any candidate could match the power of Huckabee's Chuck Norris endorsement, and everyone's favorite Texas Ranger did a great job of proving me right. I really believe he deserves some credit for Huckabee's outstanding showing in the Super Tuesday primaries. My dad, a typical Republicrat, digs Obama, but would really like to see Chuck as the Director of Homeland Security. So, he's torn. I don't blame him.

But lucky for my dad, he doesn't have to worry about the Homeland Security Director position being filled by dweebs in an Obama administration. Obama has Hulk's endorsement! (Thanks Mel, one of WBB's loyal readers, for that tip) That's right, the democrats have their own all American hero. This could be a game changer, my friends.

While that's clearly the most exciting recent celebrity endorsement, here are a few more to ponder, thanks to Brenner's great find at Sorry for the Convenience:

Hillary Clinton: Madeline Albright (ok, she kind of kicks ass), Geraldine Ferraro, Jon S. Corzine, and Diane Feinstein.

Barack Obama: John Kerry, Scarlett Johansson, Larry David and assorted Kennedys.

Mike Huckabee: Duncan Hunter, Jim Gilchrist (but does he really need anyone other than Chuck?)

John McCain: Arnold Schwarzenegger (well done old man!), Sylvester Stallone (Rambo vs. Chuck? I'm still banking on Chuck.), Henry Kissinger, Joe Lieberman

Ron Paul: Arlo Guthrie, Howard Stern

Mitt Romney (argh): Ann Coulter (I actually hate her more than I hate Mitt Romney. I think this is an example of an endorsement that hurts more than it helps. I actually feel kind of sorry for Mitt.), Orrin Hatch (barf), Tom Tancredo, Dennis Hastert -- This list alone gives enough reason not to vote for Mitt Romney. Geez! What a heinous list of endorsements.

So, there you have it. Got any new endorsements to add? And who would you pick in a celebrity death match, Chuck Norris or Hulk Hogan?

Tainted breakfast

WBB's Nashville operative tells us that Music City is swarming with political candidates and their supporters looking for last minute votes before Super Tuesday. Apparently, Mitt Romney stopped at Nashville breakfast stop Pancake Pantry to look for votes.

I've always considered Pancake Pantry the most overrated place in Nashville, so it doesn't surprise me at all that our boy Mitt would go there. I'm comfortable with the fact that it's now tainted, and I can never go there again. Now, if he would have been at the Loveless Cafe, I would have been devastated, since I love that place and would like to go there and bathe in cheese grits. Phew! Close one.

Praise the Lard and Pass the Biscuits!
