The Chuckabee facts

By Chase Cooper · Tuesday, Jan. 8,2008 11:30 p.m.

Chuck Norris doesn’t endorse – he tells America how it’s gonna be.” So says Mike Huckabee , anyway, in a campaign ad featuring his biggest endorser, Chuck Norris. In the ad, Huckabee, who is known increasingly in conservative circles as the “Huckster,” and Norris go back and forth for 60 agonizing seconds telling “facts” about each other, performing a skit patterned after the “Chuck Norris facts” seen in Facebook groups and chain e-mails. Here are a few “Huck Chuck facts” that you may not know about:

Too little, too late

By Thomas Wachtel · Tuesday, Jan. 8,2008 9:06 p.m.

While I was looking at the Washington Post the other day (looking for a column idea, in case you’re curious), I came upon something that I found interesting. It was a guest column written by former Democratic Party presidential candidate George McGovern. The headline was “Why I Believe Bush Must Go.” Essentially, the column was a long list of the offenses that the Bush administration has allegedly committed in its seven years of existence, with McGovern drawing the conclusion that President Bush and Vice President Cheney should both be impeached. This is slightly ironic because, in case you don’t know, McGovern is the man who lost the 1972 presidential election to Richard Nixon. The massive fraud perpetrated by Nixon in that campaign led eventually to his own impeachment.

By Abra Oliver · Tuesday, Jan. 8,2008 8:30 p.m.

Puppies. Cute, fuzzy puppies. Why would anyone – anyone with a soul, that is – ever want to hurt them? Although the primary cause for it has never been pure malice, animals have long been used in medical teaching laboratories to give students a hands-on opportunity to learn the ins and outs of mammalian anatomy without having to reach their not-yet practiced hands into a human body.

Angola.” “Borneo.” “Czech Republic.” “Denmark.” “Uhhhh...” It’s my turn to go, but I can’t seem to think of a country that begins with the letter “E.” Ethiopia’s been done.

Proud partisan

By Indira Dammu · Tuesday, Jan. 8,2008 8:23 p.m.

Every election cycle is dominated by a theme around which political campaigns build their momentum. Undoubtedly, the buzzword in 2008 is “bipartisanship.”

Marketing all-stars

By Jacob Levin · Tuesday, Jan. 8,2008 8:22 p.m.

For a while, Converse had no idea. It made the same shoe it had always made, that utilitarian model they called “Chuck Taylors.” They were canvas and designed for people who wanted to protect their feet, but that was basically it.
