BURBANK, CA—At the entertainment giant’s world headquarters, Disney Imagineers showed off new technology that uses artificial intelligence to scan the more than 700 episodes of “The Simpsons” and replace Bart Simpson’s probably-offensive catchphrase “Cowabunga!” with the much less problematic and more profitable catchphrase “Taiwan is not a sovereign state, dude!” Sam Carter, Disney’s Executive Vice President of Tyrant Placation, gushed over the technological achievement. “This new AI process is truly a great leap forward,” said Carter. “It allows us to instantly scan hundreds of hours of audio for Bart’s previous catchphrase, which is probably very offensive. We haven’t really looked...

Exclusive: Joseph Farah has good laugh over prez's 'Bart Simpson-like juvenile appeal' Sometimes Barack Obama cracks me up. That’s not easy to do for a wannabe tyrant with no respect for the Constitution, one who has systematically concealed every meaningful document about his personal history, one who has “fundamentally transformed America” into something much less than the shining city on a hill Ronald Reagan envisioned, one who personally directed his White House and Justice Department to run guns to Mexican drug cartels so they could be used to kill at least U.S. law enforcement agents and probably hundreds of U.S....

Never before in our nation's history have we had a President less likely, or less willing, to take responsibility for his failures. Unlike President Truman, who famously had a sign on his desk that read, "The Buck Stops Here," President Obama avoids responsibility like the plague. It can be seen in his handling of the Democrat written, Democrat passed, economy destroying health care initiative--to which he contributed little, but rhetoric and which he allowed his Democrat allies in Congress to write, it can be seen in his Libyan War-that is not war--the planning of which and the decision for which,...

Bart Simpson is famous for making funny prank phone calls but his latest could be his most ingenious yet. Executives at 20th Century Fox are reportedly fuming over a voicemail message recorded by the character’s “voice”, Nancy Cartwright, promoting an upcoming Church of Scientology event.

Bart Simpson, a Scientologist? Ay caramba! Nancy Cartwright, the actress who has voiced the "Simpsons" character for more than 20 years, is reportedly lending her famous voice to an automated phone call promoting an upcoming Scientology event in Hollywood.

To make it on the big screen, you have to give people something spectacular. Something extraordinary. Something like Bart Simpson—full frontal. It happens early in "The Simpsons Movie," when the animated 10-year-old takes a dare from his goofball father, Homer, to skateboard naked through the streets of Springfield. Hidden by plants and picket fences, he whizzes along, past kids, down hills, through traffic lights, until, in one shocking moment, little Bart flashes his little part to the entire world.

John Hawkins apparently has taken on a mission to prove that the Bush Administration is not creating a North American Union to replace the United States, or a new currency -- the Amero -- to replace the U.S. dollar. Recently, in a blog debate on this website, I exchanged views with Mr. Hawkins. When Mr. Hawkins declined to respond in what the editors termed “Round 4” of that debate, I concluded Mr. Hawkins allowed me to have the final word because he lacked a convincing rejoinder. Now, we see Mr. Hawkins wants to carry on the debate but this time...

On the "tin foil" type threads, I've seen a picture of Bart Simpson in a tin foil suit, with a metal trash can lid as a hat. It's from an episode of the Simpsons where he starts taking an ADD drug, and starts thinking that Major League Baseball is spying on him. Does anyone know where I can find it. I can't find it using Google.
