Rick Sanchez begs to […]

Damon Weaver Interviews President Obama
This is an impressive interview — Damon Weaver is a 6th grader from a school in Florida whose claim to fame before now was his delightful interview with then Senator Biden — finally gets to interview the President.

The Beast Who Despairs of His Country’s Future is inspired this week by a classic rant from Bill Maher in the Huffington Post.
