Michael sent this to me a while back and I’ve been meaning to post.
Funny…
Christina Aguilera, of The Voice, recently declared that she doesn’t wear underwear.
In regard to that factoid, fellow The Voice co-star Adam Levine comes out in defense of the garments:
“It’s so funny ‘cause I love to wear underwear,” he tells AccessHollywood. “I’m not kidding,” the Maroon 5 frontman adds. “It keeps everything in check, you know? Like, I think it’s nice to know everything is set. [With] no underwear… I don’t know what could happen. I don’t want things flopping around. I don’t know if that’s the same for women, it’s a little simpler down there for you guys. I just need a buffer zone between my junk and the outside world.”
Ironically, Maroon 5’s latest CD is entitled “Overexposed” – check it out.
Favorite line: “I can’t even finish this sentence without getting dumber.”
Brilliant.
Neal Broverman reports at the Advocate:
According to Paul Bell, press secretary for Obama’s re-election efforts in the northwestern state, “While the president does not weigh in on every single ballot measure in every state, the president believes in treating everyone fairly and equally, with dignity and respect. Washington’s same-sex marriage law would treat all Washington couples equally, and that is why the Presdient supports a vote to approve Referendum 74.”
Mainers United has released a message identical to the one above for Maine’s Question 1, as has supporters for Maryland’s Question 6 and the opposition “good guys” working against Minnesota’s anti-gay ballot measure.
Today, the Washington Post issued a lengthy and detailed op-ed piece endorsing President Obama for re-election. Here’s the summation:
So voters are left with the centerpiece of Mr. Romney’s campaign: promised tax cuts that would blow a much bigger hole in the federal budget while worsening economic inequality. His claims that he could avoid those negative effects, which defy math and which he refuses to back up with actual proposals, are more insulting than reassuring.
By contrast, the president understands the urgency of the problems as well as anyone in the country and is committed to solving them in a balanced way. In a second term, working with an opposition that we hope would be chastened by the failure of its scorched-earth campaign against him, he is far more likely than his opponent to succeed. That makes Mr. Obama by far the superior choice.
