Take a closer look:
Pope Benedict has criticised the Equality Bill, currently going through Parliament, claiming it ‘violates the natural law’.Church leaders are said to be worried that the bill might expose them to legal challenges if they refuse to employ openly gay people or transsexuals.
The Pope has confirmed that he will visit Britain later this year - the first papal visit to the UK since John Paul II’s in 1982.

A new Daily Kos/Research poll, conducted among 2,000 self-identified Republican respondents nationwide, gives an interesting peek into the psyche of the minority party’s base. Kos has not yet released the full numbers, but here are some early results:
• 39% of Republicans want President Obama to be impeached.
• 63% think Obama is a socialist.
• Only 42% believe Obama was born in the United States.
• 21% think ACORN stole the 2008 election — that is, that Obama didn’t actually win it, and isn’t legitimately the president, with 55% saying they are “not sure.” This number is actually significantly lower than it was in a similar question from Public Policy Polling (D) back in November, which said that 52% of Republicans thought ACORN stole it. So does this mean Obama is gaining ground among Republicans? As it is, only just over 20% of Republicans will say that Obama actually won the election.
• 53% think Sarah Palin is more qualified than Obama to be president.
• 23% want to secede from the United States.
• 73% think gay people should not be allowed to teach in public schools. This position puts the GOP base well to the right of none other than Ronald Reagan, who helped defeat the Briggs Initiative, a 1978 referendum in California that would have forbidden gays or people who advocated gay rights from teaching in public schools.
• 31% want contraception to be outlawed.

I will never get an erection again.

Update: I originally posted this because I thought it was Donatella Versace. Turns out this isn’t her, but an Italian countess often mistaken for her by the paparazzi, according to Gawker. I don’t want to alarm anybody, but this means there’s now TWO Bacon Monster with Implants out there. I’ll be under my bed—not getting erections.

Watch this interview—the failure that is Heidi Montag
This is the first time I have been cheated on (to my knowledge) and man, it sucks. I had started to develop feelings for Rozlyn and that’s why I had given her a rose. … I was so hurt by both of their decisions, but I reminded myself that I still had 14 amazing women there for me, so I composed myself and moved on.
The Drudge Report has an image of a woman from an airport scanner up right now. It’s scandalous enough as is, but it’s shockingly easy to make it look even more like a normal nude photograph.
Conservative critics have begun a new chapter in film review: Ignoring the merits of a great film and ridiculing the incidental political landscape of the film itself. According to the Los Angeles Times, right-wing commentators have been lining up to slam Cameron’s film as a soiled, suspect product of Obama’s America. Have they forgotten that Avatar has been in the making for past 4 years? Last I checked, Obama was elected just over a year ago. Well played critics.
Through their polarized spectacles, they stared at the faraway planet of Pandora and perceived a dubious pro-environmental message and a thinly-veiled onslaught against American imperialism. And they do not like what they see.
Armond White of the New York Press claimed Avatar “misrepresents the facts of militarism, capitalism and imperialism” and described it as “a guilt-ridden 9/11 death wish”. This view is echoed by John Nolte on his Big Hollywood blog, who dubbed it “a Death Wish for leftists; a simplistic, revisionist revenge fantasy”.Based on their behavior and their motives, the characters that died or lost the battle in the end deserved it, and I’m not sure that’s really up for debate. When has killing natives for resources and land ever been acceptable? Oh yeah.
According to John Podhoretz, the film critic for the Weekly Standard, the film “asks the audience to root for the defeat of American soldiers at the hands of an insurgency”, which makes it “a deep expression of anti-Americanism”.While the corporation did seem to speak American English, what facts do we have to show that the group was in fact American, and not just an Earth-borne directorate? Regardless, the audience didn’t seem to have a problem with it either way, and the “expression of anti-Americanism” is complete bullshit, conservative or liberal. And just for fun, I’d like to point out that this insurgency (an armed rebellion against a constituted authority—in this case, natives attempting to protect their homeland from destruction) doesn’t seem to be all that different from what happened in Iraq over the past 8 years.
However, Govindini Murty, a writer on the conservative website Libertas, offers a crumb of comfort. “Even though Avatar has an incredibly disturbing anti-human, anti-military, anti-western world view, it has incredible spectacle and technology and great film-making to capture people’s attention,” Murty writes. “The politics are going right over people’s heads.”There’s a big difference between the message of a movie “going right over people’s heads” and the audience basically agreeing with the movie wholeheartedly. In fact, if you actually watched the movie, and thought about it, these left-sided critics are playing out the role of the corporation and military from the film pretty well I’d say. Bravo!
Our political system has come so far in the past few years. By prime example, compulsive conservatives are attempting to turn a movie that’s earned $1b+ at movie theaters, using the term ‘propaganda’ no less, into a political javelin. No shame whatsoever. And clearly, the public is appalled as well. Rebel!
And the Japanese fail of 2009 is…. Giant, Two-Legged Tadpole Snuggie!
One of the biggest fails of 2009…
A man who’s been convicted of six DWIs has been arrested again, this time for allegedly driving drunk on a snowmobile.
State police arrested 50-year-old Brian Holmstrom after he got stuck in the snow on Highway 169 in Shakopee on Christmas Eve morning.

Bush-era Democrats weren’t nearly as determined to frustrate the majority party, at any cost, as Obama-era Republicans. Certainly, Democrats never did anything like what Republicans did last week: G.O.P. senators held up spending for the Defense Department — which was on the verge of running out of money — in an attempt to delay action on health care.
