Femen, the topless Ukraine protesters, flashed their boobs on St. Peter’s Square to disrupt the Pope’s weekly prayer and take a poke at the church for opposing gay marriage. But the assembled faithful didn’t take too kindly to the outburst, as one supplicant whipped out an umbrella to smack the Femen-ists. In this case, serves them right. With their bodies emblazoned with the words “Shut Up,” Femen invited a reciprocal response. These ladies look good, but they need to rethink their Fascist tactics.
Besides the Little Rascals, Hal Roach also produced a series of comedies called The Dippy Do Dah Club, featuring an all-animal cast. PETA might object to the inclusion of a mock cock fight, but this 1923 episode, The Knockout, is quite hilarious, with ducks, chickens and dogs all attending the big fight, and monkeys masquerading as the press. Some things never change!

This Texas temptress so electrified the crowds at the 2010 New Orleans Burlesque Festival that she earned the Queen of Burlesque crown. She’s based in Austin, where she’s headmistress of the Austin Academy of Burlesque and founder of the Jigglewatts Burlesque troupe. While she’s a Neo-Burlesque performer, she consciously strives to re-create the power and purpose of classic burlesque moves.
She told one interviewer: “I always think back to ‘What is the intent here?’ Classic tease is the intent; ingenuity with your costumes, and your peels, your removals, that is the intent: having that fire, having that tease.”
Here’s her winning 2010 performance that brought her the Queen of Burlesque crown.

Cities across the South and West — the Sunbelt — will continue to grow at a much faster clip over the next 30 years than the older metropolitan areas in the Northeast and Midwest. Some cities — Phoenix, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Miami and Orlando — are projected to expand by 50 percent or more between now and 2042. Meanwhile, growth will be sluggish in Boston and New York, and appears to be tapering off in tax-challenged California.
Here’s a video illustrating the projections, gleaned from Global Insight’s report to the United States Conference of Mayors and The Council on Metro Economies and the New American City. If the projections are correct, the top 10 US metropolitan areas in population come 2042 will be:
1. New York, 20.7 million
2. Los Angeles 14.7 million
3. Chicago, 11.1 million
4. Dallas, 11 million
5. Houston, 10.2 million
6. Atlanta, 9.1 million
7. Miami, 8.6 million
8. Phoenix, 8.2 million
9. Washington, 7.9 million
10. Philadelphia, 6.6 million

Attorney and author David Kopel, an associate policy analyst with the Cato Institute, lays out the different avenues that President Obama might pursue using executive orders to limit the public’s access to guns. These include restricting gun imports and reclassifying different weapons so they’re much more difficult to obtain. At the same time, Kopel cites legal and court precedents that could weigh against the president going overboard in disregarding the 2nd Amendment.

If the Obama administration wanted to protect our schools, the solution would be simple: Station armed police officers or security guards at the schools. But the administration really isn’t interested in protecting schools or children so much as exploiting them so it can implement sweeping gun control measures. Pundit Dick Morris explains the politics.
