How many things are wrong with this picture? Britney Spears' dad Jamie has been making about $10,000 to "look after her," but he just got a raise of $51,000 a year, making about $75 an hour to babysit his daughter. [People]

Barack Obama has chosen to use Abraham Lincoln's Bible for his swearing in. [Radar]

If you were an editor at the New York Times and the mayor of Paris sent you a letter criticizing the prospect of Caroline Kennedy taking over Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, wouldn't you just check to make sure it was really from the mayor of Paris? Maybe? Oops. [Jossip]

Sometimes we forget just how skinny celebrities are. You know, celebs like.... Billy Bob Thornton? [NYDN]

Today, we went looking for a music video we could have sworn we saw just a few short days ago on YouTube. Could it be gone because Warner music has pulled all of its artists' videos from the site? [Yahoo!]

Fox News So Fair And Balanced, They Run Frederick Douglas For Senate

Katie Halper — Fri, 02 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Fox News really is fair and balanced. The "news" channel showed a picture of Frederick Douglass in reference to the Abraham Lincoln versus Stephen A. Douglas debate of 1858. People like MSNBC's Dan Abrams may think it's a sign of stupidity, sloppiness or ignorance to confuse the abolitionist with the pro slavery senator, and to think that a black man could run for senate in the 1850's. I say, it's just an example of Fox News being fair and balanced, post-racist, and color blind. VIdeo after the jump.

Behold, the latest in crack cocaine purchasing technology: our nation's newest five dollar bill. Designed to replace the last new five dollar bill -- which was introduced late last week and was notable for its for its incorporation of Abe Lincoln's raging case of encephalitis into his portrait -- this way better bill comes in purple and green or green and purple (just like The Incredible Hulk!) and contains twice as many cameras and sensors to monitor your spending and well-being. Also: it's gonna be worth less every day until January 20, 2009.

Have a great recession, everybody!
