She's given birth to seven children and home schooled the lot of them so he could go off and do his politicking. She's written about how important it is to be pro life, even in the case of rape and incest. But did you know that for most of her twenties, her live-in boyfriend was an abortion provider? And that he had helped deliver her when she was born? Who knew that it would be Rick Santorum, of all the political candidates, whose life's arc most resembled that of a Latin American telenovela?

Politicians who sign the pledge vow to defend marriage by making sure that marriage is federally defined as between one man and one woman, which is hilarious because Newt Gingrich has already had three wives.

Not if you're Catholic you don't. In 2004, the now-Pope barred pro-choice politicians from accepting Communion, though most of them (like all other pro-choice Catholics) basically ignored him. Now there's a hubbub because some whiny guy from Lancaster saw a priest give Communion to Senator Edward Kennedy at the Pope's big mass in Washington last month. The spokeswoman from the Washington archdiocese told reporters that such a thing "wouldn't be possible," but Kennedy's office confirmed it. Notably, although the Catholic Church is supposedly equally opposed to the death penalty, Catholic politicians that refuse to use the power of their office to eliminate the death penalty or prevent executions have never faced similar public repudiations from Church leaders. Ahh, sweet double standards: Keeping the Catholic Church hierarchy in power for 2,000 years. [Washington Times] More »

According to The Telegraph, model Charlotte Carter (of a 32-inch chest and 22-inch waist) was turned away by Models 1 agency because she was too damn thin. But more importantly, Carter claims that it wasn't until hearing this that she realized she was too thin and needed to confront her own eating disorders.
From the inside it feels like London agencies are cracking down on this super-skinny idea and therefore the rest of the world is somehow listening...[Being told to gain weight was like a] psychological wall coming down. It helped me finally to realise that I was too thin. I was impressed that an agency was actually addressing my well-being.

Lawyers for the company state in the letter that P&G doesn't want its trademark linked with such products. Uh, did P&G honestly think that the pleasure potential of their products never crossed anyone's mind? We guess the company wants its association with rabbits limited to more family-friendly pursuits. Like, you know, testing and torture! More »
