Our Morning Roundup: Rush Just Needs Somebody to Love
Good morning, City Desk readers, and welcome to a cold, wet Freedom Friday. If I didn't know better, I'd say god has blackened the cursed sun! OMG, y'all, I totally called that whole thing with Balloon Boy. Darrow can tell you. That flying popcorn bag landed on the television, and the cops cut it open with an axe, and Falcon was not in there, and I said, "I bet he untethered that puppy by accident, freaked out that his dad was going to beat his ass, and hid somewhere around the house." Darrow called the garage. We were half right.
More half-rightness after the jump.

Our Morning Roundup: Who Loves “Rusty” Limbaugh?
I'm soaking wet, dear readers. Your trusted Urban Explorer spent Thursday evening reviewing film fest screeners and sipping G&Js--damn near forgot what day it was and had to run in the rain! Creative Loafing's cat fight, Rush Limbaugh's exploitative second cousin, social engineering and more, after the jump:

The 2009 National Douchebag Tournament: DOES THE OCTOMOM HAVE WHAT IT TAKES??
In the most heated bracket-based throwdown since Man Madness, Holy Taco has launched its 2009 National Douchebag Tournament, whereby d-bagz compete against other d-bagz in four categories (sports, entertainment, politics, and business) en route to the ultimate prize (as yet unspecified).
Notable matchups include A-Rod vs. Bellichick and Beckham vs. Bonds in the sports division, and Octomom vs. Dane Cook in the entertainment division.
All of which is good clean fun, to my mind. But the Politics Division is a real letdown. I mean, there's a pretty disappointing pattern here: Slightly loudmouthed (OK, sometimes more than slightly loudmouthed) leftist goes up against some sort of heinous, far-right succubus. Observe:

BlusterMania I: Rush Limbaugh vs. Michael Moore…Let’s Get It On!
No bout at the upcoming Wrestlemania has a better build, as the rasslers say, than the one shaping up between Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore.
Let's review: The White House calls out Limbaugh as the head of the Republican Party. So Republican strategists say the Democrats are stealing tactics used by the Bush administration, which deliberately set up Moore as the face of the opposition party. Then Limbaugh cuts a promo challenging Obama to a debate, knowing it won't happen. And now Moore does a shoot interview saying he's the real people's champion, not Limbaugh.
So let's get ready to rumble: Limbaugh vs. Moore. Pay per view. In a cage. Or at a buffet table. Who's the babyface? Who's the heel? Who will walk away with the belt?
This much we know: It better be a big belt.
It'd draw better than Frost/Nixon.
Hell, Limbaugh/Moore would have a bigger buy rate than Triple H/Orton...
Our Morning Roundup: The Power of Rush
Good morning City Desk readers, and happy Freedom Friday. Before we get started, I'd remind you all that John Pinette performs this weekend at the DC Improv, Cool Papa's Party run for just one more week at MetroStage, and David Plotz--former Washington City Paper man and current editor in chief of Slate--reads from and signs copies of Good Book: The Bizarre, Hilarious, Disturbing, Marvelous, and Inspiring Things I Learned When I Read Every Single Word of the Bible at Politics & Prose on Saturday. The rest of the week is equally awesome. Now for some news:
