ReTHUGlicans on Climate Change: “It Ain’t Happening”

$

The weather’s finally perking up. I don’t usually discuss the weather, but it was a long, dreary winter here in NYC. I can’t imagine what Boston was like. I remember going out several times in January and an icy, howling wind destroyed my wig and threatened to pull my lashes off before I ever got into the cab. By the time I’d arrive, My eyes were tearing and snot was running out of my nose for a truly tragic look. But it wasn’t cocaine–it was the weather! I guess I can blame allergies when this “look” continues into warmer, spring weather. More after the jump!

Screen-Shot-2014-01-25-at-8.41.41-AM

I mention the weather because few could deny that this winter was rough. Yet people feel politics have no effect on their lives. One of our two–count ‘em two–political parties denies that climate change exists. Republican governor Rick Scott actually banned state employees from referring to climate change, it’s been revealed:

“We were instructed by our regional administrator that we were no longer allowed to use the terms ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’ or even ‘sea-level rise,'” said a second former DEP employee, Kristina Trotta. “Sea-level rise was to be referred to as ‘nuisance flooding.'”

Similar bans on language have been discussed in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, so it isn’t just crazy Florida. Well, if ya can’t talk about something, it ain’t there. Simply ignore a dire problem if it’s too expensive for the polluters to fix or change courses from.

And the democrats often says they’re for green energy but often vote for policies which benefit the vendors of fossil fuels–despite the fact that 80% of coal, gas and oil must remain in the ground if we are to avoid the catastrophe that’s knocking loading at our door if not already inside. Didja hear the one about solar energy jobs up 21%? No, you wouldn’t. But it’s true. I’m glad that someone is stepping up to the plate towards renewable energy. Just not our government. Even Texas oilman George W. Bush admitted that we’re “addicted to oil.” And the whole planet’s environment is at stake because so many of our politicians are addicted to the contributions of the fossil fuel industry.

We’ve got WOWee/pisser Adam Asea reading Popsugar’s article on 20 different ways to get happy. What better way to read about getting your happy on then on the john! This article has both mental and physical ways to get yourself out of the stress wave and back to a healthy, happy state. Click over to read more!

PissWallYa! Read the full article on POPSUGAR

  1. Play a game (not on your phone): Get your family together, invite some friends over, and have a game night. Not only will you be surrounded by good company, but friendly competition usually guarantees a good time and a good laugh.
  2. Smile: When in doubt, smile! Not only is it contagious, but smiling also helps relieve stress, boost your mood, and release endorphins.
  3. Go for a walk: If something isn’t going well at work or home, step outside and take a walk. It doesn’t have to be long, but a quick stroll will help you get fresh air and clear your mind.
  4. Call a friend: Don’t text; dial! Calling a close friend is a great way to talk over your worries and get advice from someone you trust.
  5. Try something new: Stop your rut by switching things up. Try a new gym class or restaurant, or take a new route to work in the morning.

Kathy Griffin has apparently decided to leave Fashion Police in the wake of the controversy over a joke Giuliana Rancic made about actress Zendaya Coleman’s Oscar hairstyle. As you will remember, co-host Kelly Osbourne also recently left the show for ostensibly similar reasons.  See Kathy’s extended tweet after the jump!

Before Kathy was announced as host, many people wanted Bianca Del Rio to fill in for the probably irreplaceable Joan Rivers. E! has confirmed the story, so what do we think? Bianca for co-host?

Bianca and Joan were friends, after all.

Talk Show Host Fired For Saying Michelle Obama, “Looks Like Someone From ‘Planet of the Apes'”

Univision has fired a longtime talk show host for saying that first lady Michelle Obama looks like someone from Planet of the Apes. During Wednesday’s broadcast of El Gordo y la Flaca — as the hosts commented on the video of a makeup artist who transforms himself into different celebrities, including Mrs. Obama — Rodner Figueroa said:

“Well, watch out, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she’s from the cast of Planet of the Apes, the movie.”

Univision said Figueroa’s comments were:

“completely reprehensible” and “in no way reflect the values or opinions of Univision.”

AP said that Figueroa is “known for his biting fashion commentary” reported:

“When hostess Lili Estefan countered with ‘What are you saying?’ and host Raul de Molina said Obama was very attractive, Figueroa defended his remark, saying ‘but it is true.'”

Figueroa had worked 17 years for Univision. This trashing celebs is an epidemic but when it “borders” on racism, and the commenter doubles down on the First Lady, they shouldn’t be surprised when they are sent packing. In other words, Check yourself before you wreck yourself, girl! (via USA Today)

“I’d Like the Jon Hamm, Please” –Penis Transplants Now A THING!

MU00134834

Very exciting news for those of you in the market for a new penis. South African doctors have successfully performed the world’s first penis transplant on a young man who had his wang amputated after a botched circumcision ritual.

The nine-hour transplant, which occurred in December last year, was deemed a success, and the young patient has since recovered full use of his new manhood.

From USA Today:

“The patient accepted the penis as his own,” Van der Merwe told the eNews Channel Africa (eNCA). “He told me in no uncertain terms that the fact it belonged to somebody else is completely out of his mind and he’s moved on with this as his own penis. That’s absolutely the way we want it.”

Van der Merwe indicated that doctors made sure that the the donor and recipient were of the same race.

“Cosmetically we’ve got a very good match for color,” he said. “We obviously transplanted a good normal penis and the erections that the patient gets are very good.”

Van der Merwe said the transplanted penis “was harvested from a donor whose family consented.”

The university said the patient had regained full function in the transplanted organ, including urinary and reproductive functions.

“Our goal was that he would be fully functional at two years and we are very surprised by his rapid recovery,” Van der Merwe.said.

The recipient’s girlfriend was offered counselling but declined, Van der Merwe said in the interview that was broadcast on Friday. “We were very thankful that it all worked out in the end and the patient’s doing well … the patient is sexually active again and is very happy.”

Doctors say the procedure could eventually be extended to men who have lost their penises to cancer or as a last resort for severe erectile dysfunction. Or maybe people who just want a new dick. For whatever reason. No judgements.

Perhaps some day very soon, you’ll be able to order your very own Hammaconda, Fassy phallus, Affleck-ian Bat-dick, or Leto-sized sausage. Ah, the future looks bright again, doesn’t it?

And what can be done to fix it? Obviously, it was going to take some doing to get back on track after the devastating death of Joan Rivers last fall. But the recent controversy surrounding Giuliana Rancic‘s supposedly racist remarks, and Kelly Osbourne‘s abrupt departure, has simply led the show further into chaos. Something needs to be done ASAP. So… YOU tell US.

Pi Day was dreamed up 27 years ago to celebrate 3.14 on 3/14, but this year the geek dial got turnt up! Until 2115, this will be the only exact match for pi’s first 10 digits. 3.141592653. Twice at 9:26:53, here are there are two –no, three!– opportunities to celebrate… physicist Larry Shaw organized the earliest known Pi Day celebration in 1988 and they’re going old school and celebrating 1:59 PM. What do most nerds do? Duh. Eat pie. (How about fruit in the AM, pizza in the PM?) What is it about pi that makes geeks freak? The number is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. And as an added bonus— because it’s Albert Einstein‘s birthday– 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of his theory of relativity! It has been calculated out to more than 13 trillion digits with no end in sight, but here’s a site that has one million digits of pi. And here’s a nice little chunk of pi, disappearing off into infinity… 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133936072602491412737245870066063155881748815209209628292540917153643678925903600113305305488204665213841469519415116094330572703657595919530921861173819326117931051185480744623799627495673518857527248912279381830119491298336733624406566430860213949463952247371907021798609437027705392171762931767523846748184676694051320005681271452635608277857713427577896091736371787214684409012249534301465495853710507922796892589235420199561121290219608640344181598136297747713099605187072113499999983729780499510597317328160963185950244594553469083026425223082533446850352619311881710100031378387528865875332083814206171776691473035982534904287554687311595628638823537875937519577818577805321712268066130019278766111959092164201989380952572010654858632788659361533818279682303019520353018529689957736225994138912497217752834791315155748572424541506959508295331168617278558890750983817546374649393192550604009277016711390098488240128583616035637076601047101819429555961989467678374494482553797747268471040475346462080466842590694912933136770289891521047521620569660240580381501935112533824300355876402474964732639141992726042699227967823547816360093417216412199245863150302861829745557067498385054945885869269956909272107975093029553211653449872027559602364806654991198818347977535663698074265425278625518184175746728909777727938000816470600161452491921732172147723501414419735685481613611573525521334757418494684385233239073941433345477624168625189835694855620992192221842725502542568876717904946016534668049886272327917860857843838279679766814541009538837863609506800642251252051173929848960841284886269456042419652850222106611863067442786220391949450471237137869609563643719172874677646575739624138908658326459958133904780275900994657640789512694683983525957098258226205224894077267194782684826014769909026401363944374553050682034962524517493996514314298091906592509372216964615157098583874105978859597729754989301617539284681382686838689427741559918559252459539594310499725246808459872736446958486538367362226260991246080512438843904512441365497627807977156914359977001296160894416948685558484063534220722258284886481584560285060168427394522674676788952521385225499546667278239864565961163548862305774564980355936345681743241125150760694794510965960940252288797108931456691368672287489405601015033086179286809208747609178249385890097149096759852613655497818931297848216829989487226588048575640142704775551323796414515237462343645428584447952658678210511413547357395231134271661021359695362314429524849371871101457654035902799344037420073105785390621983874478084784896833214457… (via NBC News)
