Sarah Palin: “Stand With Our North Korean Allies”

Sarah Palin inadvertently pledges her allegiance to the Supreme Leader of North Korea on Glenn Beck's radio show.




... and yet there are 'those' who still sing her praises ...



The world's only chance is that she will win the Republican Leadership Race only to then be definitively trounced by Obama thereby guaranteeing him another 4 years in office.
(Please, God. Please, God! LOL)

Move it! Shake it! JUST DO IT !

The vast majority of Canadians aren't moving enough to reap fitness benefits, Statistics Canada reports.

A study released Wednesday compared the physical activity levels of Canadian adults to those who are sedentary, and found only 15 per cent moved enough to get substantial health benefits.

Get Outta My Way (Boys) Tribute

I'm not a huge Kylie Minogue fan but most of the men in this tribute to her are porn stars!

It's probably not suitable for work [ NSFW ], but it's still perfectly clean ... just sexy.

Let's call it "swimming"

Lots of us have dreamt of this, often in the form of flying dreams.

In Stockholm, a group of men facing middle age find unlikely fellowship as members of Sweden’s all-male synchronized swim team. Yes, there is such a thing.

Happy 2011 !!!

Celebrations around the world have already started!

This is the show over Sydney's HarbourBridge.

Hide/Seek : U.S. National Portrait Gallery

The first major museum exhibition to focus on sexual difference in the making of modern American portraiture.

Hide/Seek considers such themes as:
• the role of sexual difference in depicting modern America
• how artists explored the fluidity of sexuality and gender
• how major themes in modern art - especially abstration - were influenced by social marginalization
• and how art reflected society's evolving and changing attitudes toward sexuality, desire and romantic attachment.

Don't Ask Don't Tell -> Don't Care

U.S. President Barack Obama signed the Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 on December 22, 2010, paving the way for gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.

Obama signed the bill before a cheering crowd that included top military officials and politicians at the Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C.

The new legislation will not go into effect for at least 60 days.
