3 months ago
Adolf Hitler was maniacal about more than just world domination during his evil reign over Germany in the 1930s and 40s.
In a new interview with The Telegraph, Margot Woelk explains that she was seized by the SS many decades ago and forced to become the dictator’s food taster for two-and-a-half years, checking meals everyday to be sure they were not laced with poison.
“Only after all of us had tried it was it driven to the headquarters by the SS,” Woelk tells the newspaper. “It was all vegetarian, the most delicious fresh things, from asparagus to peppers and peas, served with rice

Simply put, yes, the Ashton Kutcher Popchips ad was racist and offensive and deserved to be taken down.
That’s the general message sent in the following video by Hasan Minhaj, an Indian comedian who says in the missive to Kutcher in the missive:

Mitt Romney’s wealth and detachment – perceived or legitimate – from the common voter was certainly evident in Saturday’s South Carolina primary results.

The Tonight Show host presented a clip from The Insider that included photos of the homes of presidential hopefuls Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Romney.
Only instead of revealing Romney’s real summer home, the bit replaced the original shot with one of the Golden Temple of Amristar in
