Link: Wal-Mart Customers Experience Racial Discrimination
Attention all Wal-Mart shoppers:
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A 16-year-old boy who police said made an announcement at Walmart ordering all black people in a southern New Jersey store to leave was charged with harassment and bias intimidation, authorities said Saturday.
The boy, whose name is not being released because he is a juvenile, grabbed one of the courtesy phones at Walmart’s Washington Township store Sunday evening and calmly announced: “Attention, Walmart customers: All black people, leave the store now,” police said.
Oh yeah, congratulations to me for making 500 [worthy] posts.
Link: Common weedkiller turns male frogs into females
Ever seen a dude turn into a chick?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Atrazine, one of the most commonly used and controversial weedkillers, can turn male frogs into females, researchers reported on Monday.
The experiment is the first to show such complete effects of atrazine, which had been known to disrupt hormones and which is one of the chief suspects in the decline of amphibians such as frogs around the world.
The chemical had been shown to disrupt development and make frogs develop both male and female features — termed hermaphroditism. This study of 40 male frogs shows the process can go even further, Hayes said.
The European Union banned atrazine in 2004. The finding may add pressure to the United States to more closely regulate the chemical, used widely in agriculture.
“Approximately 80 million pounds (36,287 tonnes) are applied annually in the United States alone, and atrazine is the most common pesticide contaminant of ground and surface water,” the researchers wrote.
I’m not even mad. That’s amazing. But honestly, what the fuck?

Sarah Palin has gone and outdone even herself at the Tea Party convention. Here’s a photo taken during a speech in which she mocked President Obama for his use of a teleprompter, which reveals several notes written on her left hand.
Take a closer look:
Well played, Quitter Palin.
Link: Pope Benedict criticises UK equality legislation
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.

I’ve been criticized about how liberally this blog positions itself, or how one-sided it is. I wish I could say that those complaints apply to this story, but the pure fact that this story and these numbers are true—casts all doubt aside about the majority of the republican movement. Hopefully, not all conservatives are a part of this ‘comic relief’.
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.

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.

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.
