Nope. Zero,” the president said to the speaker. Mr. Boehner tried again. “Nope. Zero,” Mr. Obama repeated. “John, this is it.” A long silence followed, said one participant in the meeting. “It was just like an awkward, ‘O.K., well, what do you do now?’

Scotty sings some Elvis. Of course. I guess we should admire his restraint in staying away from Johnny Cash. They should have forced this kid to do some Public Enemy. What? Public Enemy isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? What again? Genesis is? Okay, well, I guess it could have been worse. Scotty talks a big game about going more rock than country with this performance, then does “That’s All Right Mama” and removes any trace of rock from it at all. He does add something else, though: Scotty prances impishly about onstage and holds the microphone in a weird flutelike fashion. He is like a strange Narnia creature in an untucked shirt. At the end of the song, a bunch of girls “spontaneously” run up and hug him. I guess people really like this kid! Well, Scotty is a hero to most but he doesn’t mean shit to me.

Paul F. Tompkins continues to be my reason to watch American Idol (via zeriously)

I don’t even watch AI and I still read his recaps. “Oh, and Steven points out ‘not only did the Beatles write great songs, George Harrison did as well.’ Oh, if only George Harrison and the Beatles could have collaborated on some music, how wonderful that would have been!” lolol

Look, guys. No matter what a girl does, no matter how she’s dressed, no matter how much she’s had to drink, it’s never, never, never, never, never okay to touch her without her consent. That doesn’t make you a man, it makes you a coward.

I love this man.

Seriously, the country needs Biden and Obama to tell them to do shit like “don’t rape women!” and “cough into your sleeve!” and “be a father to your kid!” Which is depressing, but at least they’re talking about it.

Death Cab for Cutie Music Video of the Day: “You Are a Tourist”

Notable for being the world’s first “live, scripted, single-take music video,” the filming of the visuals for the first single off the band’s upcoming studio album Codes and Keys was streamed online for the world to see.

Codes and Keys drops May 31st.

Amy [Poehler] was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can’t remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and ‘unladylike.’
Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, ‘Stop that! It’s not cute! I don’t like it.’
Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. ‘I don’t fucking care if you like it.’ Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit. I should make it clear that Jimmy and Amy are very good friends and there was never any real beef between them. (Insert penis joke here.)
With that exchange, a comic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn’t there to be cute. She wasn’t there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys’ scenes. She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.
