This is obviously not Kim Kardashian, though the Web site that hosts it says it is. Kim Kardashian says it's not her. It doesn't even look like her. Plus, why would she lie about it - you can download video of her having sex. It's not like there aren't plenty of pictures of Kim Kardashian that show this much flesh. For Christ's sake, it's what the bimbo does for a living!
Anti-bullying activist Dan Savage is said to have made remarks to high school students attending a journalism conference that offended many Christians in the audience, some of whom left the room. Savage seemed to go out of his way to upset those who he most needed to get through to.
Dan Savage, the founder of the “It Gets Better” anti-bullying campaign, is being criticized for comments he made at a journalism conference attended by high school students. Savage criticized the Bible, saying many things in it are “bullshit”. Offended Christians left the room.
Savage reportedly said: “We can learn to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about gay people — the same way we have learned to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation. We ignore bullshit in the Bible about all sorts of things.”
Savage concluded his anti-Bible tirade with: “You can tell the Bible guys in the hall they can come back now because I’m done beating up the Bible. It’s funny as someone who is on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible how pansy-assed people react when you push back.”
When asked if his confrontational attitude might not be impeding his efforts to get his message across Savage retorted “I used to get beat-up because I’m gay – part of how it gets better is now I’m bigger and can do the ass-kicking!”
Scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider announced they have discovered a new particle.
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN institute in Switzerland have announced the discovery of a new particle, though not the much sought-after Higgs boson – the fundamental particle that imparts mass.
“It’s even better” the team said. “The neutral Xi_b^star baryon is even more useful than the Higgs. The Higgs would merely lead to the ability to manipulate gravity, but this new particle is thought to be responsible for hair loss and male impotence! The benefits to mankind in controlling this particle are almost unlimited! It totally justifies the enormous cost of building the collider!
Human rights activist Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, had been imprisoned in China for four years, and spent the past 18 months under house arrest. He escaped last week.
Sightings of the massive Asian tiger shrimp, which can eat their smaller cousins, were 10 times higher in 2011 than in 2010. The giant cannibal shrimp can grow to be 12 inches long and thirst for fresh blood. They are amphibious and like to hunt out of the water at night for what they jokingly refer to as "landfood".
Representatives (REDACTED) and (REDACTED) appear before (REDACTED) to announce the passage of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA. "The average person won't notice any difference" (REDACTED) said. "We just want to make sure countries like (REDACTED) and (REDACTED) can't harm the U.S. in cyberspace."
Unnamed sources within what's left of the Gingrich campaign indicate the horribly failed GOP also-ran will announce next week that he is quitting the race and will support Mitt Romney. GraceLessLand expects the weather report for Hell to be hella cold next week.
In an attempt to appear just as hip as President Barack Obama, who rocked the house on Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" program by doing Fallon's "Slow Jam The News" bit, GOP candidate Mitt Romney will also appear on Fallon's show. Here we bring you another exclusive GraceLessLand pre-enactment.
And artist's rendering of the newly detected planet around a distant star.
NASA scientists have revealed they have detected signals from a small blue planet around a distant star. The inhabitants of the planet call it Kolob, and call themselves Mormos. Other than this the signals have as yet been undecipherable.
Jesse Kelly, the Republican nominee running for shooting victim Gabrielle Giffords' vacated seat in Arizona’s 8th congressional district, says health care is an earned privilege. When Kelly ran against Giffords in 2010 he famously hosted an M-16 automatic rifle shooting meet to raise campaign funds.
Speaking of Tucker Carlson (or actually reading, below) – he’s the subject of the latest entry on the “Is It Wrong?” page.
Fox News contributor Tucker Carlson made an appearance on the Sean Hannity program to vent his hatred of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Carlson called the venerated civil rights organization "a sad joke that should be shut down", "an absurd fringe group", and "pathetic".

Senator Chuck Grassley (R - Iowa), attempts to confirm his own rumor.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R – Iowa), asked the head of the Secret Service if the agency reserved rooms or shared them with White House staff members for operational matters. Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is apparently attempting to link the White House with the recent scandal involving Secret Service agents and prostitutes in Colombia.
“It is preposterous to politicize the Secret Service,” said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, who apparently doesn’t understand the Secret Service itself has already done that.
Rumors are flying that Kim Kardashian, famous for being Kim Kardashian, may run for Mayor of Glendale, CA. This may change, however, once someone explains to her what a "mayor" is.
Mel Gibson's Career: 1976 - 2012
Boulder, Colorado sheriffs' deputies arrest students at the University of Colorado for smoking marijuana to celebrate the annual "4/20" marijuana legalization protest. While these deputies were leading these students away in handcuffs, Secret Service agents who had engaged prostitutes while on duty were allowed to resign with no further action taken.
Displaying the kind of sense and logic that he hopes will sweep Democrats back into control of the Congress this November, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the Congress must quickly pass a bill to reform the Postal Service because junk mail is so important to businesses and lonely senior citizens.
THE PETITION (the original post):
http://act.colorofchange.org/sign/tof_pledge/
THE COMMENTS (aggregated from a single poster):
If you take this “pledge”
You should also renounce the
ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, AlterNet, DailyKos, MoveOn, MMFA
sites.
FoxNews versus all those is unfair to FoxNews, right?
If FoxNews is bad, the others are far worse!
. . .
Petitions scare the nonsense out of politicians, some companies and people.
5000 signatures make uninformed {people,companies,politicians} change their views.
Backbone, therein, is missing.
Witness the Voter ID issues ALEC has experienced.
ALEC has no moral fiber.
Voter ID laws only ask a voter to absolutely identify
himself or herself. Were you a precinct voter volunteer,
what, EXACTLY, would you require of a voter to
ACCURATELY identify that voter?
I think a Voter ID is PROFOUNDLY obvious to any who
does not have an alternative agenda.
. . .
All “pledges” must provide logic AND clarity, or they only summon the mob.
You know that!
This “pledge” summons the mob — “the mob” is a TRUE representation of
Bullying – a.k.a. HATE.
The “pledge” provides no logic, ethics or justification for the majority of
Americans to support it.
THE RESPONSE:
By your reasoning, [poster’s name] , the Pledge of Allegiance is invalid as it involves pledging one’s allegiance to a flag (an inanimate object) rather than the actual nation (a political and social ideal), which is illogical, and it invokes a supreme being whose existence cannot be proven.
Voter ID laws are unconstitutional as they presume all citizens will have some form of ID, and there are citizens who refuse to do so for ideological, political, and even religious reasons. And that has nothing to do with illegal immigrants or racism.
“Moral fiber” just makes you shit opinions and is irrelevant to any discussion of “logic” and “clarity”.
I do agree about swearing-off using any American media outlets, though. Any so-called “news source” that is dependent on advertising and corporate sponsors for its existence is untrustworthy. That’s why I get most of my news from the BBC and (ironically) Al Jazeera. Neither engages in American-style “press release” journalism. They actually investigate and report. And they have no patriotic political agenda to color their reporting on the U.S. to make us look like the world’s “good guys”: the fact that we are right now going through scandals involving prostitutes in Colombia, and soldiers posing with body parts in Afghanistan, invalidates that mythos. Although really all you need to do is look at the history of our foreign policy to accomplish that.
I truly do love this country, but I really hate most of the assholes who have run it and are running it. And the behavior of our business community is, historically, beneath contempt. Most of the average people who live here are pretty good people though. Except for Ted Nugent. That guy’s a dick.
Dinosaur rocker Ted Nugent threw his support behind Mitt Romney at the National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis this weekend by apparently threatening the life of President Barack Obama and encouraging NRA members to commit acts of violence.
Aging rock star Ted Nugent urged NRA members to “chop their heads off in November”, referring to Democrats in general and to President Barack Obama in particular. “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year,” Nugent said. “If you can’t go home and get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile, evil America hated administration, I don’t even know what you’re made out of.”
While his sentence construction and word choice posed some translation problems when attempting to render his words into English, the Secret Service found the has-been musician’s language threatening enough that they want to interview him.
Mitt Romney’s campaign was quick to distance itself from Nugent. Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said “Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil”, which isn’t exactly saying Romney disagrees with or even disavows Nugent’s violent outburst.
The NRA made it’s position clear by adding this latest diatribe to their Ted Nugent shrine page on the NRA Web site.
Pioneer TV broadcaster and popular music emcee. Also almost certainly the first man ever to get a facelift.
Apparently Cartagena is quite the party town. While 11 Secret Service agents were getting serviced by 21 prostitutes, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and her staff were whooping it up during a night out on the town. No word on who was footing the bill, but a good guess would be YOU!
A preliminary report in 2011 and a final report this year both indicated that GSA official Jeff Neely was bilking taxpayers for spending and travel abuses. But no one at the government agency stopped him, partly because he was his own supervisor at the time.
We’re starting a new feature here at GraceLessLand: the “Is It Wrong?” list of moral dilemmas. You can access the first entry in what may become a regularly updated page from the home page menu above. As always, GraceLessLand reserves the right to start something and then never think about it again.
Ex-Vice President Dick "Dick" Cheney has had a setback with his recent heart transplant. "Apparently the donor was a liberal, and the heart is demanding Mr. Cheney change his views on the Buffet Rule" Cheney's doctor said.
