If you can guess who wrote the following guest post, I will be shocked.

Great news guys! Changing the world and being BFF with Barack Obama will not get in the way of Kal Penn’s movie career! I know what you’re thinking: how did we get this lucky? I’m guessing because even Barry himself can’t go eight years without seeing one of Kal’s fantastic films. He prob also has a soft spot for stoner jokes and Neil Patrick Harris.

Warner Brothers announced today that they are green lighting “A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas,” which will be released on November 5, 2010 (what a great way to blow off steam after the midterm elections!) You know what that means! Bong hits under the mistletoe, NPH being his usual crazy self and other hijinx that only Roldy and Kumar could pull off.

My dream plotline would somehow involved getting high, stealing Santa’s sleigh and being pursued by the police while NPH tags along. And throw in some extreme sports fans and hookers for good measure. Sounds like Oscar gold to me!

From White Castle, to the White House

I was just thinking the other day, “Wow, I haven’t blogged about Harold, Kumar, or Harold and Kumar go to White Castle in, like, forever.” So luckily it turns out something big happened a few days ago that remedies this problem. Harold cut his hair! JK/Psych. With the real story, here’s “Ali”:

Okay guys, as you’ve probably heard by now Kal Penn—better known as Kumar, or even better known as the most gorgeous man to ever eat a vegetarian Crave Case at White Castle [ed note: if Bridget got the sex change operation she's been vying for, she could rival him; she would make an attractive vegetarian she-male]—just got a job in the White House. This is fantastic for several reasons:

First, it means that Obama is pretty cool. How many of our presidents do you think actually saw Harold and Kumar go to White Castle?  Actually I take that back, I could see GWB being all over that stupid, stoner humor.  But I bet Bush didn’t get the racial undertones, while Obama totally understood where Roldy and Kumar were coming from.

Secondly, Kumar’s hire further diversifies politics. First it was a black president, then it was a handful of Chinese American cabinet appointments, and now it’s an Indian American becoming associate director in the White House office of public liaison! Has any other Administration looked this much like a Benetton ad?

Thirdly, this means that Kumar will be living in Washington, D.C. It means that I could potentially run into him at a bar and we could fall in love and get married.  Or else I could get him drunk, “forget” a condom and entrap him. Either way, we end up together 4ever!

Maybe in Ali’s next blog, she could explain what an “associate director in the White House office of public liaison” does. If it has anything to do with deciphering the symptoms of a seemingly complex and unexplainable illness within just an hour, then I totally get why Obama hired him. Also, another note to Ali: I hear pinholes are pretty effective.
