The Sexual Humiliation of Sitcom Women →
A recent storyline featuring James Marsden as Criss, Liz’s boyfriend who drove a hot-dog truck, was very reminiscent of Dennis the pager salesman. But this time, she didn’t break up with him because Jack gave her the side-eye and forced her to come to terms with the fact that she didn’t want him. She broke up with him because Jack appeared to her as an apparition — her spirit guide, basically —...
REAL WORDS FROM REAL HUMANS
There’s a hilarious article at Hot Air (think huffpo for conservatives) saying that glitter bombing is dangerous. This by itself is funny, conservatives saying glitter is dangerous.
But lets have a look at what the commenters have to say, because I could never make up anything as entertaining as these actual responses by human beings:

One Town's War on Gay Teens →
Brittany admired Sam’s courage, and tried to mimic her insouciance and stoicism. So Brittany was bewildered when one day in November 2009, on the school bus home, a sixth-grade boy slid in next to her and asked quaveringly, “Did you hear Sam said she’s going to kill herself?”
Brittany considered the question. No way. How many times had she seen Sam roll her eyes and...
Minor Senate bill transformed into broad reform... →
In a sign of just how unpopular Congress has become, rank-and-file senators hijacked a debate over a narrowly tailored ethics bill and won broad approval Thursday of a more far-reaching reform package that would impose new conflict-of-interest rules and mandate more transparency on K Street.
From conservative backbench Republicans to liberal junior Democrats, senators launched an ethical arms...
Gingrich security harasses Ron Paul supporter →
One of Gingrich’s security agents stepped in front of him. When Dillard didn’t budge, the agent lifted his heeled shoe over Dillard’s bare foot and dug the back of it into his skin, twisting it side-to-side like he was stomping out a cigarette. Shocked, Dillard kept his ground and took a picture of the agent with his phone, which was quickly knocked out of his hand. Dillard...

The Real Reason Why Romney Is Up in Florida →
Mitt Romney came alive in last week’s debates, while Newt Gingrich slumped. Romney has adopted a far more aggressive tone on the stump in Florida. Now, Romney is pulling away from Gingrich in the polls and seems all but assured of victory on Tuesday. But should the candidate really get the credit here?
A rival campaign source sends along this breakdown of the TV ad spending:

Viagra regs paired with abortion rules →
Virginia state Sen. Janet D. Howell (D-Fairfax) doesn’t think much of a bill that would require women to have an ultrasound before undergoing an abortion.
When the proposed legislation came up for a preliminary vote in the Senate Monday, Howell offered a floor amendment that just about floored her colleagues.
