Wisconsin’s Republican governor, Scott Walker, has been pranked.  Not by a radio shock jock or some ne’er-do-well from the world, but from his political opposition.  The editor of a liberal website, Ian Murphy of the Buffalo Beast, impersonated billionaire Tea Party supporter David Koch and arranged a 20-minute phone conversation with the embattled Walker.  Here’s the link to the Buffalo Beast’s transcript of Ian Murphy’s prank call with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

In the epic prank call, Walker discusses the methods Wisconsin’s Republican state legislators are doing to get the Democrats to show up and be present for the crucial vote.  Republicans believe they have the votes to force the controversial measures to pass, but Democrats have to be there in order for them to pass the measures, which are reviled by Democrats and public sector employees.  In a press conference, Walker admitted to being pranked, but will not back down from his agenda.

“I’m not going to let one prank phone call be a distraction from the job we have to do,” said Walker.  “The things I said are the things I’ve said publicly all the time.”

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
