This week’s cover: Queen Elizabeth. It’ll be on newsstands tomorrow and the iPad…right now.

He didn’t know he was running for president, so he told the truth. The literary agent wrote down what he said… He said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia… Now they’re saying it was a mistake. Just like his Kenyan grandmother said he was born in Kenya, and she pointed down the road to the hospital, and after people started screaming at her she said, ‘Oh, I mean Hawaii.’ Give me a break.

That’s Donald Trump telling us he’s pretty damn certain Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Birthers! Ugh.

Happy 75th, Golden Gate!

barefoothippy asked: I've been reading Newsweek since I was 16 (25 now) and I must say Newsweek is by far the most consistent news magazine. You guys constantly shed light on issues and topics looked over or only grazed upon by the 24hour news machine. For that I salute you guys!

And we salute you for following us on Tumblr. Thanks for the kind words!

By the time he turned 5, Michael had developed an uncanny ability to switch from full-blown anger to moments of pure rationality or calculated charm — a facility that Anne describes as deeply unsettling. “You never know when you’re going to see a proper emotion,” she said. She recalled one argument, over a homework assignment, when Michael shrieked and wept as she tried to reason with him. “I said: ‘Michael, remember the brainstorming we did yesterday? All you have to do is take your thoughts from that and turn them into sentences, and you’re done!’ He’s still screaming bloody murder, so I say, ‘Michael, I thought we brainstormed so we could avoid all this drama today.’ He stopped dead, in the middle of the screaming, turned to me and said in this flat, adult voice, ‘Well, you didn’t think that through very clearly then, did you?’

This kid is a total sociopath.

This is a poster for the children’s book, “All About Poop,” which is a few hundred dollars short of actually happening on Kickstarter. If you believe in poop, and you believe in the kids, go check it out. This poster is totally going on our Christmas poop list.
