Bret Easton Ellis, the political outrage machine who has never voted for president
NEW YORK — Bret Easton Ellis wants you to know that he cares squat about politics. “I just cannot get that worked up over the absurdity of the president,” he sighs, “the absurdity of politics in general.”

So when people come out and say that marriage is something else — marriage is the marriage of five people, five, 10, 20. Marriage can be between fathers and daughters. Marriage can be between any two people, any four people, any 10 people, it can be any kind of relationship and we can call it marriage.
But it doesn't make it marriage. Why? Because there are certain qualities and certain things that attach to the definition of what marriage is.

The Edsel is most famous for being a marketing disaster. Indeed, the name "Edsel" became synonymous with commercial failure, and similar ill-fated products have often been colloquially referred to as "Edsels". Since the Edsel program was such a debacle, it gave marketers a vivid illustration of how not to market a product. The principal reason the Edsel's failure is so famous is that it failed despite Ford’s investment of $400,000,000 in its development.
The Edsel's most memorable design feature was its trademark "horsecollar" or toilet seat grille, which was quite distinct from other cars of the period. According to a popular joke at the time, the Edsel "resembled an Oldsmobile sucking a lemon". Some have speculated that the car failed to sell because its grille resembled a vulva.

I've not talked to anybody here who doesn't think it's a very, very big possibility, even Republicans, that the government won't shut down—even for a short time.
Congressman: Lunatic:
A Newport man was arrested on multiple charges Sunday morning after Jonesboro police say he spent the night in a local store huffing air duster.
Just before 8 a.m. Officer Caleb Landreth was dispatched to Kmart, 2010 South Caraway, regarding a suspicious person.
Employees told Landreth when they arrived at the store they found Robert Pry, 21, passed out in the storage room.
The store manager led the officer to the back room and pointed to a pair of feet sticking out from a cubby hole beneath some stairs.
Landreth said when Pry was “covered in vomit and urine.”
When asked what he was doing inside the store, Pry reportedly said “huffing.”

Miley Cyrus: "I'm not the white Nicki Minaj."
Miley Cyrus is telling Billboard that her change in musical direction is an attempt to avoid being pigeonholed into one genre.
“A lot of people wanted to try to make me the white Nicki Minaj,” Cyrus explained. “That’s not what I’m trying to do. I love ‘hood’ music, but my talent is as a singer.”

Alabama state Sen. Shadrack McGill, who you may remember announced earlier this year that he takes his reproductive health policy cues from “the Scripture alone,” is reportedly being harassed by women he believes are exotic dancers.
The women have allegedly been following him for quite some time, as McGill told AL.com on Tuesday: “During the [2010 legislative] campaign, we had two strippers come to my house at 1 o’clock in the morning. Me and my wife both got up to address the situation. They did inform me that they were strippers at a particular club in Huntsville.”
Someone said that Shadrack ran off without paying for his last lap dance. Apparently that's what started all the commotion.
I want people to bow as they see me and say he is gifted with poetry, he has seen the presence of the creator.
Our technology may be getting smarter, but a provocative new study suggests human intelligence is on the decline. In fact, it indicates that Westerners have lost 14 I.Q. points on average since the Victorian Era.

The posturing boy despot who could blunder into apocalypse
The West hoped that Kim Jung-un’s accession might bring reform to the barbaric regime. There was little chance of that.
Within months of his accession, Kim had acquired the formal titles he needed to establish his leadership, swopping that of general for ‘Marshal’. By August 2012, Kim had become ‘Supreme Leader’ and the purges had started.
In order to boost his position, Kim Jong-un even underwent plastic surgery to copy the chubby cheeks and downturned mouth of his grandfather Kim Il-Sung, first ruler of North Korea and a man so revered he is still called The Eternal President 20 years after his death.
