    You'd think that his HILARIOUS jokes about Obama and his wife being "tanned"would be more scandalous than orgies, but no.
    I don't care about sex scandals as long as all are consenting adults, but racism is another kettle of rotten fish.

    @sara-without-an-h: The creepy thing about his sex scandals is that he allegedly then helped set up some of the women he slept with in public office. So to me the real issue isn't sex, but corruption. And yeah, making bizarre racist jokes about other world leaders isn't awesome either.

    @Anna N.: I know. His comments were just the last straw for me, because it proves that he doesn't care. He thinks he's beyond any decency. Racism, corruption, sexism. And then going to the Rome Convention on Hunger so he can escape his trial is just so cynical.

    I'd like to eat cake, smoke cigarettes and drink tea with those girls when they knock off duty. I'm sure the gossip and the stories are hilarious. "And then we told him, 'Mmmm, we're just two naughty lesbians, but we like boys to watch,' and he tipped us 500€, the fool!"

    I've done a couple small presentations on the Berlusconi era in Italian government for my politics of Western Europe class and...the man is a crazyhead. The crime and corruption, so many allegations against him, changing laws in his favor (including an immunity law to protect him from court proceedings, which was overturned by the Supreme Court last month), and the sex scandals....it is quite the clusterfuck of an administration.

    "The Prime Minister Needs Cuddles" sounds like it should be a jolly follow-up to Love, Actually with Hugh Grant still playing Britain's Prime Minister and using the title to explain his adorably foppish skirt-chasing ways.

    In reply to "That's Just Who I Am. I Don't Dress Like A Girl. I Don't Even Own Any Girl Clothes."
    The most insidious part of this story is the fact that the school supports an annual "Backwards Beauty and Beau Pageant," in which students cross-dress for Fun and Prizes. And thus we understand that the school encourages *mockery* of non-traditional gender expression while banning a student's *genuine* embrace of her sartorial preferences--and, by extension, her lesbian identity.

    Does the school also sponsor minstrel shows?

    Beyond the obvious idiocy motivating this principal's decision, might we all agree that a well-cut tux will always trump a saggy, shiny graduation drape for senior portrait attire? Can I get a witness? #tuxedoyearbookpicture

    I'm a yearbook adviser at a high school in North Carolina, and we have a student like Ceara who doesn't dress like a girl EVER. I had to inform the photographers that there was no problem with her wearing a tux, and that she would be included without issue, because they were trying to tell her she had to wear the drape for it. She's coming and getting her photo made, which is awesome. It's one of the two approved outfits. Where's the issue? #tuxedoyearbookpicture

    "I tried on the drape and it looked ridiculous. It was terrible" said Sturgis.

    The plot thickens. I think this was a situation where they made all the girls wear "the drape" which consisted of a piece of marabou and glitter fabric arranged across your chest so that everybody in the yearbook looked like they were wearing the same strapless ballgown for their pic.

    It was mandatory for our class in the early 1990s. The effect in the yearbook was pages and pages of clone-like consistency. It didn't matter if you didn't want your bare shoulders showing or you hated the way "the drape" looked. You had to wear it.

    I had no idea they were still making people do that. It was a not-so-subtle easy way to immediately separate the boys from the girls. Because if your gender can't be determined from 50 feet away, clearly you are a threat to high schools everywhere and must be erased. #tuxedoyearbookpicture

    She looks like a band geek here. Ha, if she were one, it would have been the school asking her to dress that way.
