It really should've been obvious for years: When you move billions of elderly white people to an area with a large minority population and then take away everyone's money and houses in an overnight market collapse, everyone gets all worked up, and they all have guns, and the legislature responds by crapping out strange, violent pieces of legislation that should only appeal to dogs but get a decent reception among delirious broke people, too.

Laurie Shifler got so mad when the hospital said they couldn't allow her husband to photograph the actual birth of her eighth child, Kaelii, that she started a petition. "It's about our rights [to baby-in-vagina photos]," she says. [NYT]

Whinging tabloid attack kitten Andrea Peyser really hates the gays. And she really hates the Muslims. But sometimes, life presents her with a situation in which she can't hate both at the same time. Who does she hate more?

Sarah Palin's favorability rating has plunged to 38%. Could it be all that crazy shit she did?

Andrea Peyser is paid to be a raving, xenophobic tabloid sexpert. Who better to turn to for meta-analysis of economic studies? Have you heard bad things about Wal-Mart destroying small businesses? Andrea has a secret source that disagrees!

A Long Island man was arrested after calling Congressman Gary Ackerman's office 40 times, leaving increasingly deranged messages. "I thought, why the heck is he calling me?" said Ackerman. Hmm. Maybe it's because you're a congressman?
