Naked burglars give new meaning to “where’s the beef?”

Two naked guys and a friend who’s clearly shy (he wore underwear) broke into a hamburger restaurant in Bonita Beach, Florida, and stole hamburgers and bacon.

Why would three naked “knuckleheads” break into a Bonita Beach eatery and only steal food as two security cameras captured their every move? “Dumb, dumber and dumbest,” Sansevieri said with a laugh Wednesday.

Three days after the naked caper heard around Southwest Florida, the bare-naked beef bandits remained on the lam. Authorities don’t know if the men are tourists or residents, but are trying to uncover and bare all tips.

On Wednesday, authorities released photos — at least those that can be printed — to ask the public for help in identifying the men. The bandits robbed the restaurant at 3:06 a.m. Sunday, stealing 60 hamburgers, three pounds of bacon, three red peppers and a paddleboard.

The Heterosexuality Experiment

Intrepid YouTube contributor Joseph Costello has posted what he calls his “heterosexuality experiment.”

Roaming the streets of Austin, Texas, Costello asks  folks if they would vote for a “an admitted heterosexual president.”

It turns out a lot of homophobes don’t even know the meaning of the word “heterosexual.”

What a surprise…

Man trapped, then freed from vagina sculpture

Think before you strike a pose, kids.

An American exchange student was dared to pose in a sculpture of a giant vagina. Things did not go well.

A total of 22 rescue workers with special equipment were deployed to the scene in the southern Germany city of Tuebingen on Friday to free the 20-year-old but a “forceps delivery was not necessary,” local newspaper Schwaebisches Tagblatt noted.

“We were able to pull the victim out with our bare hands after about 30 minutes,” Mozer added.

The six-foot replica of female genitalia was installed 13 years ago outside the microbiology and virology department of the city’s university clinic. It is worth nearly $200,000.

A report of the incident says simply: “A person trapped in a stone vulva”.

Christians angry over Sarah Palin’s “water-boarding/baptizing” comments

In a speech Saturday to the National Rifle Association, former half-term governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, said that “if I were in charge, they would know that water-boarding is how we baptize terrorists.”

Now, Faithful America, a large online community of Christians, has launched an effort to publicly denounce former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin after she mocked one of the religion’s most important rituals by comparing it to waterboarding:

For Christians, torture is not a joke or a political punchline, but a ghastly reminder of the suffering of Jesus upon the cross. By equating it with Holy Baptism — the act by which we are united with Christ in his death and resurrection — Sarah Palin is blasphemously twisting our faith into a weapon of hatred and violence. No media outlet should cover her remarks without reporting on how sincere Christians of all theological and political persuasions are appalled.

You can check out the petition here.  The original goal was 15,000 signatures.  It’s now exceeded 42,000.

Faithful America isn’t the only Christian group to speak out.

“Gov. Palin was attempting to appeal to the basest political populism (nothing in her remarks could be construed as genuinely conservative) by claiming that current U.S. counterterrorism policy is overly-tolerant and empathetic toward our enemies,” Joe Carter of The Gospel Coalition wrote. “Unfortunately, what Palin is proposing is a mixture of pagan ethics and civil deistic religion.”

Donald Trump declares President Carter dead at CPAC 2014

Donald Trump, speaking to the kids at the conservative cheerleader camp CPAC likened President Obama to former President Jimmy Carter.

Except “The Donald” seem to think Carter is dead for some reason…

The Zombie Twitter account for Jimmy Carter is not amused.  But his Tweets are quite wicked:

Michele Bachmann feels people should be tolerant of other people’s intolerance

Michele Bachmann appeared on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer Wednesday and used part of her time to urge “tolerance for the community of people who hold sincerely held religious beliefs.”

While the congresswoman said she respects both sides of the debate, she said she did not think Governor Jan Brewer should veto the bill as other conservatives have been urging her to do.

Asked by Blitzer if the bill will “open the door for less tolerance for gays,” Bachmann answered, “In fact, it’s just the opposite. This is a decided level of intolerance. It’s effectively eviscerating the rights of freedom of speech, expression and religious expression for the people of Arizona and it sets a terrible precedent.”

Blitzer pushed back, calling the bill “discriminatory” and not “respectful” to the gay community. Blitzer also corrected predicted that Gov. Brewer was going to veto the bill.

Pat Robertson on gay sex: “It’s not very pretty”

Discussing the topic of homosexuality (yet again), Pat Robertson told his viewers “when you see what they [gay people] do, it’s not very pretty.” Which does beg the question: why was Pat Robertson watching some gay guys get it on?

He also goes on to say that sex is for procreation; no gay sex or lesbian sex will ever create a child.

I do want Pat Robertson to know that I consider that a personal challenge, and that Michael and I are practicing as much as we can to prove him wrong.
