When perfect isn't perfect enough

These are shots of super thin Jessica Alba — before and after retouching — for an Italian Calendar. Note hips, waist, legs and boobs have been pushed pulled and pinched.

As someone constantly trying to lose weight and coming to grips with the fact I'll never have Brad Pitt's abs, stories like this make me feel better for myself, and worse for the millions of girls (my daughter included) who will spend a large part of their lives feeling like shit because the don't look thin enough...

Bored reporters crawling up Obama's ass on his church attendance

From the usually useful Politico:

"President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors.

On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym."

Are you kidding? Are we really going to dig on Obama's religious views again? I don't care if he EVER goes to Church. I mean EVER. EVER. Ever.

W's Church record is probably perfect... and that was helpful, huh?

Let's stay on topic, people: ECONOMY, WAR, CIVIL RIGHTS, ENVIRONMENT.

Sarah Palin Does TV Interview While Turkeys Are Slaughtered In The Background

Happy Thanksgiving from "Sarah from Alaska."

On Thursday, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin appeared in her hometown of Wasilla in order to pardon a local turkey in anticipation of Thanksgiving. After the pardon, Palin proceeded to do an interview with a local TV station while the turkeys were being BEHEADED in the background!

Seemingly oblivious to the slaughter going on over her shoulder, Palin carries on talking for over three minutes. Watch the video below to see for yourself. BE WARNED: It's kind of gruesome.
