    Excellent!

    Jon Stewart just said this on The Daily Show:

    “Take it down a notch, White Beard. You’re just a staff and a cloak away from Hogwarts. I mean, ‘Wolf Blitzer?’ J.K. Rowling *wishes* she had thought of that name!”

    Great Catch!

    A reader not wanting anyone to know s/he reads Rush Limbaugh sent this link to his website’s post today about Barry Potter.

    I kid you not. Check out that movie poster with POTUS, FLOTUS, and VPOTUS in Harry potter robes and with wands.
