Go Home Already: Screen on the Green
>> We tragically forgot to mention in About Tonight that all left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers will gather on the Mall for Screen on the Green’s first showing of the summer, Annie Hall. The movie starts just after sunset on the screen between 4th and 7th, NW.

Tucker Carlson (Cross)Fired?
CNN announced this morning that they’ve parted ways with the button down, bow-tied host Tucker Carlson and his show “Crossfire”. There are conflicting reports over who left who first, and with any break up, each side insists they left first. The NY Times reports CNN ditching the host, and the Post’s Howie Kurtz says Carlson already had one foot out the door. You shrewd, media savvy readers out there are no doubt pondering the…
