President Joe Biden stumbled into a confusing discussion on Friday about supporting the idea of defunding the FBI. “I sure in hell don’t think we should be funding the FBI either,” he said during his speech, without correcting his comment.

Are the White Walkers cloud macchiato folks? Do the Dothraki prefer green tea frappuccinos with extra whip? (Just kidding! The Dothraki are all dead.) Can Dany’s dragons even consume Pike Place caffeinated blends? Vulture is asking the very important, very relevant questions to start our morning, as this week’s Game of Thrones episode confirmed the presence of America’s favorite (minus New England) coffee chain, Starbucks, in a scene. It’s not even that hard to miss, really: If you fast-forward to 17:39 to where Dany, Jon, Tormund, and their merry band of pals are hangin’ out, a Starbucks coffee cup is...

Grenade! Everybody loves grenades, things that goes kaboom including the Gunny. But there are usually two separate groups you can fall into when talking about these awesome balls of explosives. One group is that: people whose only experience with grenades comes from video games like James Bond, Call of Duty, and Halo. Realistic, no, but enough to know they are super cool and effective. The other group, of course, consists of military servicemen and woman who have been specially trained and taught on all the actual ins and outs of grenades and anything that will launch them. (M-203) Most people...

BBC Wales viewers were left fearing that the apocalypse was nigh last night – after the subtitles for a weather forecast predicted that ‘Nazi ghosts’ were on the way.

The text editor of the 1991 literary agency booklet that described Barack Obama as “born in Kenya” said Thursday the line in question was “nothing more than a fact checking error.” Miriam Goderich issued a statement to the Political Wire saying the future president never suggested “in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii”: “You’re undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more...

[video] Yes, we hate the media, so we love mistakes on the news. C’mon, admit it. You love those live TV screw-ups as much as we do. We have to give this Barbie credit – she kept her composure better than we would have.

"Doesn't really surprise me that they don't seem to hear the slip up there...they don't pay attention to much or they wouldn't be supporting a shady guy like Barry, who is far from democrat - he is a socialist (that's COMMUNIST for you illiterates out there) taking a ride on the (very naive) democratic ticket. God help us." jennifer846

Among the stupid things said by Obama in this video "I had an Uncle who was among the first American troops to go into Auschwitz" When he came home he went to the attic and did not come out of the house for six months." Ahhhhh Obama, The Americans did not liberate Auschwitz, the Soviet Red Army did. "the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor" Ahhhhhh Obama, I seen the news reels. There were definitely more than one bomb "It was because of Bush that Hugo Chaves was elected" Ahhhhhh Obama, Chaves was elected in 1998. Bush was not President,...

So I'm clickin' around YouTube tonight looking for some funny stuff and I happen to find these game show bloopers, some of which are hilarious. But check out the very last one and then scan the comments from people that didn't "get" it. It made me go from laughing at the video to feeling sad for the state of moral values these days and the way things have changed.

Enjoy the idiot on tape. Thank about it. Until she was fired, 50,000 people depended on this woman for the news every night. PS: Some broadcast journalism rules: #37: Never step in front of a camera unless you can hear the director and are ready to go in every way. If you are standing there, looking like you are ready, the people in the booth think you are ready and will go to you with little warning. #2: The microphone is always on. #43: Don't tell us about your technical problems. #7: Have a brain

This is priceless. WCAU Anchor Lori Wilson reads an email from viewer who misunderstood lyrics from a song.....

NEW YORK - Kyra Phillips, anchor of CNN's "Live From...," unwittingly upstaged President Bush's speech in New Orleans with on-the-air analysis of her husband and the marriage of her brother — all live from a CNN ladies room. Unaware that her wireless microphone was "live" during her break, Phillips could be heard overriding Bush's prepared address Tuesday as he was seen marking the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The Atlanta-based Phillips, in conversation with an unidentified woman in an echoey room, dismissed most men with a vulgar term, but called herself "very lucky in that regard. My husband is handsome...

Cook legacy intact after historian's blooper October 10 2002 at 10:59AM Sydney - An Australian historian who claimed to have found a Portuguese shipwreck that predated the arrival in eastern Australia of English explorer Captain James Cook has admitted that he jumped the gun. History teacher Greg Jefferys thought he found cannons from a 17th century Portuguese Man 'O War under a beach off north-east Australia but they have turned out to be hoisting apparatus from a 19th century ship that plied the coast of colonial Australia. "They're definitely not cannons," said a contrite Jefferys, whose claim threatened to unseat...
