Note to TMZ:Pictures Don’t Lie, Miss California is Not a Liar

At least, I don’t think she is. TMZ is blasting Carrie Prejean, saying she lied when she claimed she was only 17 in the sexy pictures that keep popping up online.  Their proof is an email from an anonymous source that says the pics were taken after Carrie’s breast enlargement surgery in January of this [...]

Today’s Quickies and…Mother’s Day and President Spock

Happy Mother’s Day, DDers! I’m not going to bore you with a massive opinion piece/rant today, but just some M-Day-related links in the news. 90 percent of malaria fatalities strike infants, children under five, and pregnant mothers. The distribution of LLINs (long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets) in endemic African nations over the past three years has [...]

ZOMG! This Hotel is SO SCHMANCY!!1!

I’m not even gonna eat it!  I’ll keep it on the table at my house, you know, to impress the guests.  When they ask for some, I’ll pretend the cap is on too tight.  Then, I’ll sell it on eBay for hundreds of dollars per precious ounce!

(Or notJoe the notPlumber, as it were.): Christianity Today: In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level? Wurzelbacher: At a state level, it’s [...]

Meghan McCain Proud of Her Big, Juicy Ass

I could not be prouder of Meghan McCain for striking yet another blow for mothers, sisters, and daughters everywhere.  I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: Meghan McCain is awesome. One of Meg’s tweets caught my eye today, a defiant doubling-down of her previous declaration on The View:

Michelle Obama Survives Apparent Lightsaber Attack

Michelle Obama is badass!  She doesn’t even flinch when some off-camera Sith Lord takes a swing at her. She also handles a tiny heckler with aplomb. I can’t wait for all the right-wing blogs to start complaining that 4th graders have a liberal bias because they ask Michelle a question like this, but they give [...]

Onward Christian Soldiers (General Order what now?)

I was browsing HuffPo today, when I came upon an article about a topic which has been bugging me (US soldiers trying to convert Iraqi and Afghan Muslims to Christianity via Chick Tracts and witnessing coins), but since I couldn’t find anything about it after last May, I thought it was old news. Guess not. [...]

Michael Steele Flips on ‘Barack the Magic Negro’?

When RNC Chair candidate Chip Saltsman came under fire for giving gifts of CDs containing the Rush Limbaugh “parody” song Barack the Magic Negro, current RNC Chair Michael Steele offered a weak rebuke, saying essentially that it was bad for the party’s image. Well, HuffPo has a transcript of Michael Steele laughing it up with [...]
