Twitter: "Tebowing is Out, Te'oing is in"

More on the Te'o Episode:









Disney Channel's A.N.T. Farm & Te'o

This is what happens when there is a 2, 5, and 7 year old in the house: You end up watching A.N.T. Farm occasionally on the Disney Channel and become able to make connections between the episode Cameron dreamed up his girlfriend, took her on a date, and then to the dance and the Manti Te'o story.

The difference, though, is that in the Disney show Cameron actually met his girlfriend episodes later.

Update: Te'o tells Katie Couric he lied, again, about fake girlfriend.

Reporter rejects GOP nominees because of world we don't actually live in--A world where GOP worships Rothbard

Last time I checked, most Republicans couldn't name an Austrian economist. So I have a hard time believing the GOP candidates are worshipping at the Temple of Rothbard, Mises, and Hayek.

From the National Catholic Reporter:
So, no, I can’t see myself voting for a Republican candidate anytime soon. Their party seems completely unalert to the vision of Catholic social teaching and such core concepts as the common good and solidarity. Their stances on particular issues like Iran are frightening. Their reading of history is tendentious. Their worship at the temple of the Austrian economists too thorough-going. Obama may no longer be my candidate, but the GOP is not my party either.

Fistgate II: High School Students Given Fisting Kits At Kevin Jennings 2001 GLSEN Conference

During the 2000 conference, workshop leaders led a “youth only, ages 14-21″ session that offered lessons in “fisting” a dangerous sexual practice. During another workshop an activist asked 14 year-old students, “Spit or swallow?… Is it rude?” The unbelievable audio clip is posted here.

NIH Wastes Millions on Penis Research, Toenail Analysis, and more

I received this in my e-mail today. What will Washington come up with next?

NIH WASTES MILLIONS ON BIZARRE “RESEARCH”

Toenail Analysis, Penis Size Measurement among Other Extraneous Grants

Washington, DC – As the debt crisis looms, those looking to cut federal spending need look no further than the National Institutes of Health, which continues to dole out millions in taxpayer dollars to fund questionable “research,” according to a new budget review conducted by the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC). Their six-month investigation of NIH grant applications based on publically available information and tips from NIH employees uncovered more than half a billion in grant monies paid to researchers to conduct bizarre projects such as measuring the penis size of homosexual men and asking individuals to mail in their toenail clippings.

“We are not opposed to hard science. However, our research offers example after example of widespread institutional waste at the NIH on behavioral research,” said Andrea Lafferty, President of TVC. “While the White House and some in Congress raise the specter of cutting Social Security and Medicare, it is outrageous that the NIH continues to funnel huge amounts of taxpayer dollars for bizarre and politically correct ‘research’ to people who have made a career out of playing the federal grant game.”

NIH-funded projects include:

· At least $9.4 million for a 10-year study that included a survey of gay men to determine average penis sizes, "...to better understand the real individual-level consequences of living in a penis-centered society."

· $154,500 spent asking individuals to mail in their toenails in an effort to research how much toenail nicotine is present versus saliva swabbing, at a cost of $154.50 per batch of toenails.

· $163,500 spent seeking to explain the “drug-using and sexual behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) during a circuit party.”

· $1.2 million spent since 2003 trying to find out if a mother rat, if given cocaine, will abandon her babies.

“The NIH grant-making process is the opposite of transparent,” continued Lafferty. “Our research team, mining a labyrinth of thousands of applications designed to confound even the most experienced investigator, uncovered review panels approving sizable grants to members of that panel, regular grants to individual researchers and the biggest concentrations of grants going to NIH-favored causes.

“We call on the Obama Administration and Congress to enforce a moratorium on NIH grant-making while a special prosecutor or another impartial investigator conducts a full review of the NIH budget.”

TVC plans to release additional findings in the coming weeks on NIH’s practices.

Bizarro Land: Giving Guns to Rebels, Drug Cartels, et al

Why does the U.S. Government give tax-payer funded military resources to rebels in Libya and drug dealers in Mexico but ban these same weapons to U.S. citizens?

Why do we then declare war on these people years later when they threaten us with the very weapons we gave them?

Why do we act surprised?

Where are these people’s licenses and registration for these weapons?

Why don’t they go through the bureaucracy?

We live in Bizarro Land...
