What about the biggest news story of the day (Obama getting exposed by a noted theologian for his poor understanding and shameful manipulation of Scripture)?
What do you expect from a Muslim?
"Nutraloaf" was a poor naming choice, for one.
@6:25:
James Dobson is "a noted theologian"?
Granted, his line that Obama subscribes to “a fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution," was notable.
Credible Dobson is not.
Only in Vegas. If the strip club reopens under U.S. Gov't management, will the DOJ prosecute itself for obscenity?
Two words: Governmental Immunity. Besides, the federal government entering the ‘entertainment business” is not without precedent.
In the 90’s the IRS wound up owning the notorious Nevada house of ill repute Mustang Ranch that it confiscated from owner Joe Comforte.
After several months under IRS management, the IRS sold the whorehouse to A.G.E. The IRS then learned that A.G.E. was a front for Comforte (who became a fugitive on tax evasion charges) and shut the brothel down in 1999.
Kash, this Vegas story deserves it's own blog post. I'd like to know how much is that U.S. Attorney, that argued for the strip club, in debt to the mob? How about a blog post just on the government opening a strip club, who the hell wants to fondle and molest strippers in the lap of justice?
ive been to that strip club. classy spot.
this story of vegas ,,, is hiting the news allover,,,,, the salsdes are more famous there.... better catch it soon

Wasnt that "noted theologan" precisely the kind of right wing religous type that Obama was trying to rebut? The one sentence that homozexuality is bad is super important, but the one passage about shaving your beard we can ignore etc?
"Focus on the Family" is an awesome/scary name by the way.

""Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?" Obama asked in the speech. "Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount?"
Nutraloaf looks like a bad vege burger from the Jones Day cafeteria.
