Photoshop Of Horrors
A retoucher for Maxim Mexico went a little loco on this model's waist. The thing about it is that it's not just offensive for like obvious objectification reasons (because really, only objects like action figures or Barbies could ever be proportioned like that), but it's also just a completely piss poor job with the "liquify" tool. I took it upon myself to "fix" her waist, using the same liquify filter in Photoshop. (Click image to compare Maxim's version and Jezebel's version of this image.) [Photoshop Disasters]
Michael Travesser, the fire and brimstone cult leader formerly known as Wayne Bent, has been released from jail. Michael was imprisoned on charges of child molestation for lying naked with some not-quite-18-year-old members of his sect. The $55,000 bond was paid for by his son, Jeff Bent. If you'll recall, Michael had sex with Jeff's wife, who is now "spiritually married" to the cult leader. The three minors who were living on the cult's rural New Mexico compound, known as "Strong City," have been removed. [AP via CBS News]

New Mexico Cult Leader Jailed For Child Molestation
Meet Wayne Bent, aka Michael Travesser aka the Messiah. The Charles Manson-looking yahoo is the prophet and leader of the Lord Our Righteousness Church, and he was arrested on Tuesday on three counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor at the church's compound in rural New Mexico. The three allegedly molested children were also taken from the ranch. (At left is Bent with his wife, Emma. He is 66. She looks about 20, tops.) The compound is a former ranch near the Arizona border, which Bent and his followers have dubbed Strong City. According to the Associated Press, "Wayne Bent has acknowledged having sex with followers - including his daughter-in-law - and lying naked with virgins. He said the virgins asked for sex, but he refused." More »

In The Year 2008, Some Women Are Still Denied The Right To Vote
Imagine a place where women are not allowed the vote, nor considered citizens. Actually, there's no need to imagine, because such a scenario is an actual reality in indigenous areas like Santa Maria Quiegolani, located in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. 27-year-old Eufrosina Cruz (left) tried running for mayor of Santa Maria Quiegolani, only to have the ballots cast in her name torn up by the town elders because of her non-citizen status. Get this: A quarter of women in similar settlements are denied the right to vote, even though a "use and customs" law states that the indigenous villages are allowed to "apply their own normative systems... as long as they obey the general principles of the Constitution and respect the rights of individuals...particularly the dignity and well-being of women." As for that dignity and well-being? Well, when the widowed mother of Martina Cruz Moreno asked the village elders for building materials to improve her dirt-floored shack, she was told to "Go get yourself a husband." More »

All I Got For Christmas Was This Stupid Abortion Protest
Okay people, it's not puppytime just yet. There's been a series of anti-abortion mishaps out west this month. On December 6 in Albuquerque, abortion provider Dr. Curtis Boyd's clinic was destroyed by arsonists, reports the New York Times. This past Tuesday, two other abortion centers in the New Mexico city were seriously ravaged by fires. Police have arrested two 22-year-old men, Chad Altman and Sergio Baca, on suspicion of arson. Outside of Denver, paternalistic protesters are picketing outside the homes of contractors who agreed to work on a new Planned Parenthood building. Even on Christmas morning these jerks planned to show up outside the contractors homes to picket with signs of dead babies. What a truly Christian gesture! More »
