The Borowitz Report: Obama Asks Staff to Start Cc’ing Him on Stuff

Wed, 22 May 2013 14:01:08 -0400

In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff.

Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.”

RIP Annette Funicello

One of the biggest stars of the initial “Mickey Mouse Club,” in the 1950s,
Annette Funicello passed away today at the age of 70 after a lengthy battle with multiple sclerosis.

Funicello followed her Disney stardom by defining the 60’s-era “beach” movies alongside frequent co-star Frankie Avalon.

As for her humble beginnings, she was chosen for her breakthrough role by Walt Disney himself:

Funicello was a 12-year-old dance-school student when Walt Disney saw her performing the lead role in “Swan Lake” at her dance-school’s year-end recital at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank in the spring of 1955.

Read the Times’ full obituary on Funicello here.

“Women in science don’t have to be frumpy.”

The Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik has some awesome things to say about women on screen, in science, and in life.

Famous authors as teenagers, the best thing since Einstein as a toddler. Pictured here: Ernest Hemingway, Samuel Beckett, Mary Karr, Neil Gaiman, Mark Twain.

They missed 14-year-old Susan Sontag.

Little known fact: Mark Twain was the secret fashion inspiration for by 90’s Hip Hop/Comedy duo Kid ‘n Play.

Neil looks like the shy bassist from an early 80s band in the mold of The Police.

And Beckett looks like Dieter from Schprokets.

Also: holy shit my friend Neil is in some pretty fucking amazing company.
