| Nipple Enhancers (And 'Dehancers') Posted: 23 Dec 2010 11:26 AM PST
Picture embedded below. (via)  "Notice anything interesting about the woman pictured here? Does anything ... poke out at you? Admit it. You're not looking at her face. But what you might not know about this woman is that those are not her nipples. Oh no. They are silicone "nipple enhancers," and according to Bodyperks, the website selling them, they were "crafted to produce just the right amount of perkiness." ... Personally, my nipples don't need any enhancing. I've been trying to hide them from public view for years, and if anything, I have trouble finding bras that cover them up without adding any more extra padding than is absolutely necessary. In fact, now that I think about it, I do have something similar to Bodyperks. They're called Dimrs. Yes, Dimrs cover up what Bodyperks "enhances." And perhaps our choice between these two types of silicone says a lot about who we are as a person."  |
| Revised 9/11 Responders Health Bill Passes House (206-60) Posted: 23 Dec 2010 10:22 AM PST
Video embedded below. "Congress on Wednesday passed a bill that will pay for the health care treatment of first responders to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks after Democrats and Republicans reached a bipartisan agreement. The political deal lowered the total cost of the bill to $4.2 billion — down about $2 billion from an earlier version. Once signed into law by President Barack Obama, the measure will authorize a health benefits program for 9/11 first responders for the next five years while simultaneously placing several restrictions on hos the money is dispersed. Despite a number of members of Congress already having left Washington for the winter recess period, the House of Representatives still had enough lawmakers for a quorum and passed the bill 206-60. New York Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer called the deal a "Christmas Miracle.""  |
| Senate Ratifies New START Treaty (71-26) Posted: 23 Dec 2010 09:18 AM PST
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/21/AR2010122104371.html "The Senate ratified the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, known as New START, by a vote of 71 to 26, easily clearing the threshold of two-thirds of senators present as required by the Constitution for treaty ratification. The final vote came after Senate Democrats accepted two amendments designed to placate Republicans who had qualms about the treaty. The amendments, which passed on voice votes with bipartisan support, emphasized the administration's commitment to a limited missile-defense program and to continued funding to modernize the aging U.S. nuclear weapons complex. The amendments were to the resolution of ratification accompanying the treaty, a nonbinding statement that codifies the Senate's understanding of the pact but does not directly affect its language. Republican efforts to alter the treaty language were defeated, with supporters of the pact arguing that such changes would have forced new negotiations with Moscow and effectively killed the treaty. Thirteen Republicans joined all of the Senate's Democrats in voting for ratification, helping to exceed the 67 votes required. Three senators - all Republicans - were not present."  |

| Muslim Student Files Complaint Against Teacher For Talking About Ham Posted: 23 Dec 2010 07:14 AM PST
http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/muslim-student-files-complaint-against-teacher-for-talking-about-ham "It's hard to keep track these days of what ¨shows disregard to the feelings of Muslims." Consider the case of the student at the Menéndez Tolosa school in Cadiz who recently asked his geography teacher to stop discussing ham in class because it was disrespectful to him as a Muslim. It should be noted that the teacher, José Reyes Fernández, was not mocking the Koran's prohibition against eating ham. What was so offensive to the student was Fernández's use of the Granada town of Trevélez as an example of a cold mountain climate conducive to the curings of hams. Fernández's explanation to the student that he did not consider his pupils' religious beliefs when creating his lesson plans apparently did not pass muster. The student's parents immediately filed a complaint against the teacher with the National Police for psychological ill-treatment due to xenophobia and racism. Fernández is a well-respected teacher with 20 years of experience and no history of problems with students. In a note to the media, he wrote that the incident has damaged "his honor [and] image." Fortunately, it appears that the complaint will not also hurt his professional career: a local prosectuor on Tuesday announced plans to archive the case."  |
| Mass. School Requires Permission Slips to Recite Pledge of Allegiance Posted: 23 Dec 2010 06:10 AM PST
"A public school in Brookline, Massachusetts is bringing back the Pledge of Allegiance. Except now, in a move that suggests the recitation and its words are controversial, the school is requiring parents to sign a permission slip so their kids can participate."  |

| Assange Upset Confidential Documents About Him Were Leaked Posted: 22 Dec 2010 08:05 PM PST

One witness is said to have stated: "Not only had it been the world's worst screw, it had also been violent." Bjorn Hurtig, Mr Assange's Swedish lawyer, said he would lodge a formal complaint to the authorities and ask them to investigate how such sensitive police material leaked into the public domain. "It is with great concern that I hear about this because it puts Julian and his defence in a bad position," he told a colleague. Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar. End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar. "I do not like the idea that Julian may be forced into a trial in the media. And I feel especially concerned that he will be presented with the evidence in his own language for the first time when reading the newspaper. I do not know who has given these documents to the media, but the purpose can only be one thing - trying to make Julian look bad." Mr Assange is facing criminal allegations in Sweden over claims by two women that he sexually assaulted them while he was in the country earlier this year."  |

They blamed Diane Sawyer for asking an "ambiguous" question. However, as Jake Tapper reports, the White House admitted this morning that Clapper hadn't been briefed at all"  |
| 13-Year-Old Boy Arrested For Using a Permanent Marker in Class Posted: 22 Dec 2010 06:55 PM PST
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/bizarre/boy-13-busted-illegal-marker-possession "A 13-year-old boy was arrested Friday for using a permanent marker while in class at his Oklahoma City middle school, a violation of an obscure city ordinance. According to an Oklahoma City Police Department report, the boy was spotted "in possession of a permanent marker" by Roosevelt Middle School teacher DeLynn Woodside. The 50-year-old educator told cop Miguel Campos that the student was "writing on a piece of paper, which caused it to bleed over onto the desk." ... Campos reported that he allowed Woodside, a seventh grade math teacher, to "sign a citation" against the boy, who was then transported to the Community Intervention Center, a juvenile holding facility. A police sergeant subsequently "booked the marker into the property room." A police spokesman referred to the student's bust as a "citizen's arrest" effectuated by Woodside."  |
| CBS News Airs Fake, Typo-Ridden Cover of Bush’s 'Decision Points' Memoir Posted: 22 Dec 2010 06:43 PM PST
Video embedded below. "CBS aired a grammatically incorrect book cover that read, "Desision Points: How I managed to go on eight years without making one good decision." A CBS spokesperson told Newsday that the false cover was aired by accident, and was the result of the network pulling a bad photo from the internet. "Good catch: It's a mistake no one could see because you'd have to freeze the frame to notice it. Another cautionary tale about the risks of the internet age – clearly, we have to be more careful when downloading material," the CBS spokesperson said."  |
