What? My girl loves it when I "rape" her. He's not wrong, he just didn't preface it with "play" or something like that.

Seriously, we don't actually believe he means girls like to be raped in a riot against her will... Right?

[Brill Weave]

Correct. But 99% of the mouth breathers in the world seem to ignore that. Look at the dude from Ohio St. Made a couple of jokes at an event and was just forced out. Anyone with a brain could see that they were jokes albeit bad ones. But because it targeted a specific demographic(Catholics) a big stink was raised. People in positions of exposure should know by now how to conduct themselves. It's shocking to see people make comments this dumb that can be misconstrued. Unless you're a Republican there's never an excuse for being this stupid on in a public forum.

Sometimes, I'm glad to be an American. Our justice system sucks some times, but holy fuck am I never going out there.

Maybe not justices, but our politicians have said some interesting things about rape themselves.

[Coren]

Look, you can't have babies if you get raped, ok? Their bodies just SHUT IT DOWN or something like that that a doctor told me or something....

Philadelphia adopting 'doomsday' school-slashing plan despite $400 million prison project

Days after Philadelphia officials pushed the city one step closer to a so-called “doomsday” education plan that would see two dozen schools close, construction began on a $400-million prison said to be the second-most expensive state project ever.

Pennsylvania’s School Reform Commission voted on June 1 to approve a $2.4 billion budget, ignoring hours of pleas from students, parents, educators and community members who warned the budget would cripple city schools.

The plan would close 23 public schools, roughly 10 per cent of the city’s total. Commissioners rejected a proposal that would have only closed four of the 27 schools that were on the block for closure.

Without the means to cover a $304 million debt, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, students can expect to go back to school in September without new books, paper, counselors, clubs, librarians, assistant principals or secretaries. All athletics, art and music programs would be eliminated and as many as 3,000 people could lose their jobs.

Only one of five state commissioners voted against the proposal, warning that Republican Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett’s administration had not looked hard enough elsewhere for proper funds.

That $304 million windfall is unlikely to be filled because the Republican-controlled Pennsylvania House of Representatives recently passed a tax break for corporations that will cost Pennsylvania residents an estimated $600 million to $800 million annually.

Newly unemployed teachers might consider submitting their resumes to the Department of Corrections, though, with the news that the supposedly cash-strapped government is digging deep to spend $400 million for the construction of State Correctional Institutions Phoenix I and II.

The penitentiary, which is technically two facilities, will supplement at least two existing jails, the Western Penitentiary at Pittsburgh and Fayette County Jail. Pittsburgh’s Western Penitentiary was built in 2003 with the original intention of replacing Fayette County Jail, but the prison has struggled with lawsuits claiming widespread physical and sexual abuse of prisoners.

Scheduled to be completed in 2015, the new prison’s cell blocks and classroom will be capable of housing almost 5,000 inmates. Officials said there will be buildings for female inmates, the mentally ill and a death row population.

Journalist Rhania Khalek noted that the racial disparities in the education system and prison complex, where 60 per cent of all people are of color, have created a literal “school-to-prison-pipeline.”

“In Philadelphia, black students comprise 81 per cent of those who will be impacted by the closings despite accounting for just 58 per cent of the overall student population,” she wrote. “In stark contrast, just 4 per cent of those affected are white kids who make up 14 per cent of Philly students. And though they make up 81 per cent of Philadelphia students, 93 per cent of kids affected by the closings are low-income.”

To be fair though Philly's school system has been shit since Rendell was running the show over there. This is just another punch to the stones in a long line of them.

E.W. Jackson, Virginia Lieutenant Governor Candidate, Says Yoga May Result In Satanic Possession

E.W. Jackson, Virginia's GOP lieutenant governor candidate, is no stranger to controversy. A conservative pastor, Jackson has previously come under fire for comparing Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan, calling gay rights "ikky" and saying President Barack Obama has a "Muslim perspective."

This week, Jackson is being skewered yet again -- this time for saying that doing yoga may leave unsuspecting people vulnerable to satanic possession.

In a post for the National Review on Wednesday, Betsy Woodruff highlighted some quotes from Jackson's 2008 book Ten Commandments to an Extraordinary Life: Making Your Dreams Come True. Among them was one about the hazards of yoga.

"When one hears the word meditation, it conjures an image of Maharishi Yoga talking about finding a mantra and striving for nirvana," Jackson wrote in his book, according to Woodruff. "The purpose of such meditation is to empty oneself. [Satan] is happy to invade the empty vacuum of your soul and possess it. Beware of systems of spirituality which tell you to empty yourself. You will end up filled with something you probably do not want."

"Behind the ice-cold eyes of Lululemon princesses burn the demonic flames of eternal hell," joked Atlantic Wire's Elspeth Reeve this week in response to Jackson's comment.

Despite the criticism Jackson has endured for his many controversial statements, he has not apologized for them.

"I don't have anything to rephrase or to apologize for," he said in May. "I would just say, people should not paint me as one-dimensional. I have a whole lot of concerns."

They're going to need all the prisons they can build for the plethora of uneducated people that turn to crime because they lack a proper education and any real means of furthering themselves.

Eric Glatt, a former unpaid intern for Fox Searchlight Pictures, who just won a lawsuit alleging the studio owed him back pay for work done on the set of the movie ‘Black Swan.’

The decision is the first major ruling on the illegality of unpaid internships in years. But will it have a real impact on the unpaid intern economy?

Good, sick of hearing people get taken advantage of because they're training or an intern. I'm Ok with lower pay then if you were actually with the company, but if I'm for a lower rate there has to be a "due date" that says I work for cheap till here, and afterwards I'm on staff or i stop working.
