This Just In: Santorum Near Death !!!

Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, made the claims during an interview with CaffeinatedThoughts.com editor Shane Vander Hart, according to Think Progress. He declared that no other president had previously discussed "the dangers of contraception" and said that "sex is supposed to be within marriage" and "special.  source

In an effort for more face time, Santorum gets his act together.

"...fever all through the night..."
Sun lights up the day time
moon lights up the night.
I light up when You call my name
and You know I'm gonna praise You right

You give me fever
when You bless me,
fever when You hold me tight.
Religious fever
in the morning,
fever all through the night

Now give me fever
when were praying.
Fever with that flame in You.
Religious Fever
I'm a fire,
fever yeah I burn for You.

He gives me fever
with His loving,
fever when He holds me tight
Religious Fever
I'm His vessel;
Jesus will treat me right

He'll give you fever
when you praise Him,
fever if you really learned.
Fever,
till you risen,
what a lovely way not to burn.

What a lovely way not to burn.
What a lovely way not to burn.
What a lovely way not to burn.

At least he hasn't used the C-word----yet.

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

Here they are as Adam and Eve in a skit

Getting up with the fleas.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) told the audience at the Value Voters Summit on Friday that they should also pay attention to the husbands and wives of the people actually on the ballot.
“When you look at someone to determine whether they’d be the right person for public office, look at who they lay (sic) down with at night and what they believe in,” Santorum said.

Who Deserves a Trip to the Salon Today ?


Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen feted the launch of their new handbag collection for The Row with a cocktail party at Paris multi-brand store Montaigne Market. Ashley Olsen said the label was rushing to keep up with demand for its much-publicized alligator backpack, which comes with an eye-watering $39,000 price tag. “It was the first thing that sold off the shelf,” she said, noting that extreme luxury tends to perform well during uncertain economic times. “During our last economic crisis in the U.S., the only thing that went up was Hermès,”
