A Sharpie New Hope: Star Wars X-Wing out of Office Supplies

Details of your mission:

The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a
firepower greater than half the star fleet. It's defenses are designed
around a direct large-scale assault. A small one-man fighter should be
able to penetrate the outer defense. -- Jan Dodonna, Star Wars: Episode IV

Superhero Situation Room - Marvel and DC comic heroes watch Bin Laden Takedown

What really went down in the Situation Room during that fateful mission.  The photo the White House released was doctored to protect the identities of the individuals involved.

Marvel and DC superheroes in the White House Situation Room during the Osama Bin Laden raid: raises the question, why weren't they doing the takedown themselves?

The LEGO Prequel to Star Wars Episodes 4-6

Enough Star Wars this and that lately, so why not one more.  Save yourself or your kids the hassle of watching the prequels and get to the real Star Wars originals by watching this first.

An Epic Week in the (Star Wars) Galaxy - First We Were Like...

April 25 - May 1, 2011 was an epic week in the galaxy.  With Obama's birth certificate revealing he was indeed born in the United States, then the Royal Wedding happening and then a bombshell of a news story with the announcement that Osama Bin Laden was dead.  Together it made for a news week in the (Star Wars) galaxy that was nothing short of an epic.

April 25 - May 1, 2011: An epic Star Wars news week indeed - Obama, Osama, Royal Wedding!

The President's Speech - Obama Comedy at Correspondents' Dinner

Obama took to the podium for a round of Presidential comedic stylings that are the norm for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.  A bit of multimedia came into play courtesy of 'State-Run Media Productions' -  a spoof movie trailer for a sequel to last year's The King's Speech.

It had other crazy moments too, such as none other than Donald Trump being in the audience!  Obama didn't hold back and took the opportunity to tear into him too!  Great stuff.

There were plenty of other good lines and moments.  Following Obama was headliner Seth Myers with some SNL Weekend Update punchlines.  There are more clips around YouTube if you look.  A relaxing fun end to a week that had madness about Birth Certificates as well as terrible storms in the south and on-going wars in the Middle East/Africa etc.
