It appears that Kal Penn had already planned to resign from the White House as another "Harold and Kumar" movie is in the works.

This may have just been additional incentive to leave that 'utopia' called Washington, D.C.

I heard it was Doogie Howser who robbed him. Then he stole Kal’s car and Cal had a crazy adventure trying to get to the White Castle.

Good if he’s unhurt and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone - but maybe he soiled his pants and will start to re-think dogmatic leftism, at least in relation to crime.

No, I don’t think that is the case here. He already had a publicist in Hollywood because he is a professional actor.

He has been in a TV series and several movies, so a publicist is ‘de rigeur’.

So now that this liberal has been mugged, will he become a conservative?

Just a little wealth redistribution, Kal. Your boss would approve.

The thief didn’t rob him. The thief was simply liberating him of the wealth Kal stole from some poor soul. And don’t call this thief a thief. He is actually a Wealth Re-distribution Agent for the Obama administration. He received his training in Zimbabwe before being transferred to the USA to train others in the IRS to do the same.

Democrat gets mugged in DC and it’s big news. Republican gets hospitalized in New Orleans and it’s a non-story for most media.

I don’t think this was a robbery. Kal just had some of his wealth ‘redistributed’.

Darn. I thought the reason he was resigning from the White House is because Dr. House was going to figure a miraculous way to bring him back to life after his "suicide". ;-)

yeah, Kal, let’s just call it a “Millionaire’s Tax”

the implementation of this particular “Millionaire’s Tax” may be a bit rude and idiosyncratic, and the Gubmint doesn’t get to dictate how that money in particular is “re-distributed” but I’m sure it’s gone to someone “less fortunate” than you, Kal, so you have no cause for complaint....
