In reading about this story, I discovered some other batshit crazy homobigoted comments she made last year, which included this amazing tidbit:

Matching Hats

That’s right. Matching straw fedoras from Eddie Bauer. We both liked the hat, but we couldn’t decide who looked better in the hat, so we both bought the hat. They’re different sizes, though, or else we could have just shared the hat. But this way is more fun, because…you know…matching hats.

Cut curvy girls some slack!

My body is none of your business, but I’m going to go ahead and say it: I teeter on the edge of “plus size”. A size 12 will fit me about 50% of the time: just small enough that I can still shop in “regular” stores, but just big enough that I face regular disappointment [...]

Obama visits the pyramids

When he was in Egypt at the start of the month, Obama and his staff took some time to visit the pyramids at Giza. It made for some pretty great photo ops for the White House Flickr feed.

Cave Springs Rose ‘07

I don’t know why I’m even bringing this up, since the LCBO is schilling the shit out of this wine, but try the Cave Springs ‘07 Dry Rosé.
“But pink wine? Oh noes!”
No really! It’s delicious!

We Have Band – You Came Out (Official Music Video) from We Have Band on Vimeo.
