Marc Smirnoff interviews David Remnick (editor of The New Yorker) for almost two hours. It’s worth watching, and I’m proud to have sat through it in person. 

Remnick talks about writing Obama’s biography and one of his greatest failures in writing, which involved him being ridiculed for using the phrase “hips akimbo.” 

Also, David Remnick kinda looks like Mike D from the Beastie Boys.

President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron exchanging bottles of beer after making a wager on the USA/England World Cup match. The match on 12 June  finished 1-1 so the pair both presented each other with a bottle of beers at a G20 press conference.

Cameron gave Obama a bottle of Wychwood Hobgoblin and Obama’s choice was Goose Island 312, which he insisted Cameron try cold because “in America we drink our beer cold.”

While Pres. Obama certainly known how to pick a tasty beer, he might want to take a look at our article on proper beer temperature.

I’m getting really emotional because my president and I have the same favorite beer.

My president and I have the same favorite beer.

I was telling [Mel Brooks] that I went to see Blazing Saddles when I was 10. And he pointed out that I think, according to the ratings, I should not have been allowed in the theater. That’s true. I think I had a fake ID. But the statute of limitations has passed.
