What Americans do half-heartedly, the Russians will attempt with gusto.
Russian lawmakers are weird.
Parliamentary hearings were held yesterday at which the “Concept for a State Policy in the Area of Spiritual and Moral Education of the Children of the Russian Federation and Protection of Their Morals” was discussed.
Really weird:
The draft law “On Children’s Toys” would ban [...]

I’d like to take a moment from my Europe Tour to award SexyMILF69 The Kyso Kisaen Certificate of Achievement in Non-Sequitors. Sexxy has a solid history of making her readers think very hard about what the fuck SexxyMom is thinking, but it was this entry that clinched it for her:
The desperation that this girl [...]

Just completely gross.
Short version: Sarasota Planned Parenthood and Habitat for Humanity team up with a plan that will help Planned Parenthood with some zoning issues and help Habitat get some almost-free land. For their altruism, they’re repaid with the nastiest of the nasty anti-choice contingent:
“We could have put up any building we wanted,” said [...]

Vatican: Excommunication for female priests
I’d be shocked and disgusted, if only I cared more about the Catholic church or even about the moral sensibilities of the people who want to be a part of it.
Catholic church says it’s following Christian tradition
You can’t argue with that.
The decree was published Thursday by Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore [...]

Let’s all pause for a second to ponder this graf from Sabbotabby’s MSNBC Mormon-catwalk story
And while no one would accuse the women of making a fashion statement, the pioneer-style outfits are a rare example of how in an age of overexposure, modesty, too, can give pause.
It’s not the modesty that gives pause - if merely [...]

Pastel is the new black.
Please tell me that this article was written by a bored, possibly drunk AP writer having a lark and trying to see what he or she could sneak past the editor.
Prairie skirts are in fashion this season, while dusty pastels and neutrals are being introduced to offset trendy bold colors and [...]

Okay, this isn’t the real plate.
After making the massive mistake of stopping by Borders and buying I Am Legend last night, I was SO not in the mood for this today:
The Florida Legislature is considering a specialty plate with a design that includes a Christian cross, a stained-glass window and the words “I Believe.”
Rep. [...]

And I heard that the American Atheists had a sweet spot staked out for protest…of course today would be the day that my boss, in a fit of responsible behavior, failed to cancel our monthly departmental meeting like he was supposed to (he’s cancelled ‘em like clockwork every month since last September, dammit!). So [...]

Hey, girl.

When I’m feeling smooth, I gotta channel my inner Zinczenko.

Yeah, you. Right over there. How YOU doin? It’s okay, you can come closer. I know I’m a liberal and all, but I won’t bite… unless you think it’s naughty to bite. Because it turns out I’m one [...]

Anti-abortion activists sometimes use a tactic I call “WTF.” What the fuck? protesting involves going to a place where nobody in their right mind is thinking about abortion, or any sort of hot button issue, and then ruining everyone’s good time by screaming about abortion. You’ve probably run into this: dismembered fetus posters [...]

Focus on the Family’s Boundless Webzine (check out their podcasts! I told you they were hip) isn’t afraid to tackle the hard issues; as distasteful as Candace Watters finds answering this question, it’s her Christian duty to tell all the young ladies out there how they can avoid the fires of hell that surely [...]

Amanda points to Rod Dreher’s take on a recent NYT style article about sexed-up wedding dresses. Now this being a New York Time’s slut-shaming style piece, it is of course unintentionally hilarious, trying to mix up the usual fluffy attempts to pass off a super-fabulous wealthy lifestyle as normal (who among us doesn’t get [...]
