Immoral afternoon
State republicans held their own protest this week in response to continued Moral Monday demonstrators, called Thankful Tuesday -- so basically Thanksgiving. By which I mean full of old, outspoken white people you'd forgotten existed. It's nice to hear an opposing opinion, but my guess is they're just hired agitators.
Drop in the bucket
Cheeky pop star Justin Bieber apologized to Bill Clinton this week after a video surfaced of Bieber peeing in a mop bucket and badmouthing the former president. Clinton shrugged it off, but I'm thinking the janitor had a rougher night. The good news? TMZ finally has enough footage to make "celebrity urination" its own category.
SHARKNADO
Faced with rapidly disintegrating civil liberties, institutionalized racism and violent unrest worldwide, our only healthy reaction can be to drown ourselves in a SyFy channel original movie about a blazing whirlwind full of flying sharks wreaking bloody havoc on Los Angeles. And that's just what we did this weekend -- cope.
Rights? What rights?
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently passed a law calling for the arrest of any person openly gay or supportive of gay rights -- so you might want to tame that wardrobe if you're considering a trip. Criminalizing sexuality and opinions leaves smiles, pastels, individuality, dialogue and self-worth only so far away from restriction.
Indulge me a moment, please?
Building up spiritual treasures for yourself in the hereafter has never been easier.
For Catholic World Youth Day, Pope Francis is pardoning the people's sins -- in return for following him on Twitter. It's not a bad deal either, because how often can a simple click get you a couple of years off of your necessary time in purgatory at the end of your life?
So as part of his push to modernize the church and take advantage of social media, Francis is bringing back the indulgences that were oh-so-popular in the 15th and 16th centuries -- but with a technological wist.
Now all that's left is for a particularly Twitter-savvy Martin Luther to tap into the internet vernacular and bring this back to the people.
NOTED.
Death Valley National Park got so hot this year that park officials actually had to release a statement asking visitors to please not fry their eggs.
Apparently, hungry thrill-seekers have been frying eggs by the dozen, and now the walkways are caked with more sticky bird embryo than you can shake a stick at.
QUOTED.
"They told me the concept was to paint a picture of superheroes who protect the world."
--The dean of Thailand's top university apologized after students included Hitler on a banner of cartoon heroes. They might have gotten off easy for that one, but the Nazi salutes were a little too far.
