In the rumor/controversy that just won’t die, President Obama’s campaign team has asserted that the president will, indeed, be on Arizona’s general election ballot, despite Secretary of State, Ken Bennet, stating that he would disqualify Obama if he could not prove he was, in fact, born in Hawaii. Though given some of the other injustices happening in Arizona, this seems totally unsurprising.

NBC dangled the carrot of hope and disappointment during last week’s upfronts when they finally revealed that fan-favorite Community would return for an abbreviated fourth season. Today, it’s been revealed that showrunner and antagonist, Dan Harmon, was fired from his show and, unsurprisingly, had some words about it. To wit:

Why’d Sony want me gone? I can’t answer that because I’ve been in as much contact with them as you have. They literally haven’t called me since the season four pickup, so their reasons for replacing me are clearly none of my business. Community is their property, I only own ten percent of it, and I kind of don’t want to hear what their complaints are because I’m sure it would hurt my feelings even more now that I’d be listening for free.

It’s been reported that Harmon will still bear a “consulting producer” title, but with other staffing changes, it’s unclear if the show will even be the same program that the internet has taken so many screencaps of.

Who knew that Peter Venkman could pull off a convincing FDR? So suggests the trailer for Hyde Park on Hudson, a film that finds American treasure Bill Murray stepping into Franklin Roosevelt’s wheelchair. Based on events that transpired during King George’s visit to the States in 1939, Hyde Park reunites Murray with his Rushmore love interest, Olivia Williams, and is helmed by Notting Hill director Roger Michell — so expect a lot of subtle humor about the differences between Americans and Brits. Hyde Park on Hudson opens December 7.

For decades, Jackie Chan’s been rapidly kicking, jumping out of trees, and breaking every bone in his body to entertain audiences. Now, Chan says that his Buster Keaton-inspired kung fu days are over. While promoting his new movie, Chinese Zodiac, Chan said, “I want to be an Asian Robert DeNiro,” claiming that he was “too old” to continue doing action films. As he’s 58, he should be granted that wish.

Before smirking commences, Chan has taken on a smattering of dramatic roles in the past, going as far back as the first Police Story movie and as recently as 2009′s crime drama, Shinjuku Incident.

Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health & Human Services, gave the commencement speech at Georgetown University’s Public Policy Institute on Friday, only to be heckled as she was addressing the graduates, then met with anti-contraceptive protesters outside the building. In terms of the public disagreement over birth control, Sebelius offered the following:

These debates can be contentious. But this is a strength of our country, not a weakness. In some countries around the world, it is much easier to make policy. The leader delivers an edict and it goes into effect. There’s no debate, no press, no criticism, no second-guessing.

She was probably called a “commie” for trying to say that it’s easier for other countries to write and pass policies. Still, bravo for politely calling people out on ruining a graduation ceremony because they have a problem with common sense.

Zooey Deschanel’s Siri ad continues to draw the ire of people everywhere who are tired of her “trying-to-be-cute-by-trying-to-be-a-moron-but-it’s-all-set-to-acoustic-guitars-so-it’s-okay” aesthetic. Some brilliant mind out there created a Zooey Asks Siri Twitter that features probable questions that the Queen of Twee would ask her iPhone. Such gems include:

• Siri, can you recycle dust bunnies?
• Siri, make a note: “I mean, how much basil does tomato soup need, am I right? It’s like, what am I, a basil monster?”
• Siri, make a mote [sic]: “Boobs are kind of weird, you know? They’re like, bags of jiggly tofu under your skin.”

Deschanel has yet to comment, though HelloGiggles will probably do a mock “Siri Asks Zooey” blog post in which they defend their Queen/co-founder from the meanies of the Internets.

A few days ago, the GOP-led House
passed a military budget with a hefty $642 billion price tag — $8 billion more than what President Obama and the Pentagon had agreed on with Congress. With the defense budget skyrocketing, cuts are coming from other programs, most notably government-subsidized food stamps.

Chat Allen, a mother of three who works only part-time, offered this insight:

They have so much money that maybe they can tighten their belts and not live as luxuriously as they live. They’ve earned it, but there are people who are hungry and who dig in the trash every day just to get something to eat.

This certainly isn’t polishing the GOP’s image. The budget has been met with less-than-enthusiastic responses in the Democrat-led Senate, which likely will try to reallocate those funds back to public works.
