For those on the fence...
65 percent of Americans say Obama better suited to handle alien invasion than Romney Okay. But what about the coming zombie apocalypse? |
Clearly there are some Romney supporters that are willing to concede that Obama will better be able to relate to aliens due to his own experience as an illegal alien coming to America.

Sad that this still happens in the 21st century:
Alabama pastor holds ‘whites only’ conference | The Lookout - Yahoo! News My favorite line: "Organizers say their ministry is not a hate group and that although there is a strong KKK presence, the Klan did not sponsor the event." Nice to see a non hate group have such a large hate group presence. |

To be fair, it's nothing more than what the American Family Association does. I'm no fan of Scientologists but I was expecting worse when I saw the headline stating censoring.

Def Leppard Recording 'Forgeries' of Old Hits To Spite Label
Def Leppard got screwed over by Universal Music on compensation for its digital downloads and refuses to have anything to do with them until they pay the band a fair share of the money from iTunes, the Amazon MP3 store, and other digital distribution systems. In order to cut the label out of its earnings, the band has gone back to the studio to re-record its most popular tunes, producing what it calls "forgeries" -- note for note reproductions of the original studio cuts. The band can do this because of "compulsory licensing," which allows anyone to record and sell any song, on payment of a set royalty. But it's surprisingly hard to reproduce decades-old recordings, as Gary Graff writes for Billboard: Quote:

Linda Chase kept Charles Zigler's body in house 18 months so they could watch NASCAR together | Mail Online
Couple thoughts: (1) This is from a UK newspaper, so I am sure that it just reinforces their stereotypes of what NASCAR watching Americans are like. (2) It is a federal crime to keep collecting benefits from a deceased spouse. But I think that "I kept the body around" should be an affirmative defense. |

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Family_Association In the 80s and 90s, they were big into trying to get shows yanked off tv if you said something they didn't like, mostly under the guise of "promoting decency".

Man takes baby to meet with prostitute - WTVM.com-Columbus, GA News Weather & Sports
Tuscaloosa, AL (WTVM) - A man in Tuscaloosa may be charged with child endangerment after taking along his nine month old son during a meeting with a prostitute. Police in Tuscaloosa County said the 29-year-old man took the baby with him to meet the woman at a motel because he didn't have anyone to babysit. Once inside the motel room, another man entered and a fight broke out. Shots were fired while the baby was in the room, and a bullet grazed the father's head. "The child was on the bed, he picked the child up, tried to leave, that's when he was shot at," said Captain Loyd Baker of the Tuscaloosa Police. Hospital workers contacted police after the man sought treatment. The child was taken into protective custody. |
Man sucks woman's toe at Walmart, bolts from store - WTVM.com-Columbus, GA News Weather & Sports
GROVETOWN, Ga. (AP) - A woman says a man claiming to be with a TV show sucked her toe inside an east Georgia Walmart after claiming everything she purchased that day would be free if she complied with the unusual request. The Augusta Chronicle reports that the woman called sheriff's deputies Tuesday to describe the bizarre encounter in the Grovetown store, west of Augusta. Columbia County sheriff's reports say the man asked the 18-year-old if her toenails were painted, whether she'd watched America's Funniest Home Videos and said he was with the show. Authorities say he asked if he could kiss her foot as part of the prank, then started sucking on her big toe. The woman said she screamed, the man said "it tasted so good, though" and then ran from the Walmart. |

Okay, I had found this. When you said "nothing more than the AFA does" I took it to mean the exact same or very similar tactic. I am generally supportive of the AFA, and was concerned that they were employing tactics which are on the odd side (at best). Personally, however, I wouldn't put the actions you cited in the same category as those claimed in the Scientology article. As an aside (not a slam at you), I tend to find most wikipedia articles touching on politics or religion to have a "tone", either pro or con to the subject at hand, and don't trust them to be unbiased. Edit: trying to disagree without being confrontational and forgot to thank you for taking the time to respond. Thanks. |

None at all taken. I remember more of their clout was wielded in ways I disagree with in the 80s and 90s when they tried to get a lot of things taken off the air that disagreed with their point of view. That was a lot more problematic back when that was the primary medium for people. It's one thing to say "I don't like sex/violence on tv"- that's a great exercise of free speech. But to organize boycots of those who expressed viewpoints who disagreed and try to silence dissent- that I didn't like. SI |
