Live! Republican Debate, Now with Extra Newtmentum!

GOP Front runner Newt Gingrich fears no man!

The Republican Presidential Campaign Clown Car makes a stop in Iowa tonight so the candidates can fling poo at loathsome frontrunner  Newt Gingrich debate. This will, sadly, be a Herman Cain-less affair, since Cain dropped out of the race last week to get divorced spend more time with his family or whatever. On the plus side, though, they all get to bask in the glory of newly-minted frontrunner, disgraced former House Speaker and reptilian man-slug Newton Leroy Gingrich. How exciting that will be!

I’ll get things started with my mint chocolate peppermint bark.

All-American Muslim too Dangerous for Lowe’s, Toddlers and Tiaras Still OK

Lowe’s has apparently pulled its advertising from the only decent show on TLC, All American Muslim. According to The Hollywood Reporter, something called the Florida Family Association encouraged its followers to email the show’s advertisers, stating, “All-American Muslim is propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda’s clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values.” Luckily, TLC says that advertiser support for the show remains strong– I don’t know about you guys, but I think this is the only redeeming show on the network.
