A Brockton bus driver with a medical condition that causes painful prolonged erections claims in a lawsuit recently filed against the Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut that staff at an affiliated emergency medical facility address his condition in a timely fashion because they were busy watching a baseball game.
So: Des Moines school superintendent Nancy Sebring resigned last week, which is normally the kind of thing that you, an affluent, college-educated, 18-to-35-year-old brand influencer living in New York and/or San Francisco, would ignore, because first of all, where even is Des Moines (Colorado, I think), and second of all, who cares.
A few years ago, Sister Margaret Farley, a nun and a teacher at Yale's Divinity School, published Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics—a book that did not say that your sexual urges are nothing more than the shameful pangs of demon penises fucking your soul which should be repressed and repressed and repressed until you are absolutely warped, underneath that church outfit. Burn the witch! Ahh, apparently we don't do that any more? Well... censure the witch!
Serious accusations of mistreatment are being levied against the security firm put in charge of hiring and training stewards for the river pageant portion of the Queen's diamond jubilee festivities.
Sing along with all your favorite Wire stars — Michael K. Williams (Omar), Sonja Sohn (Kima), Larry Gilliard, Jr. (D'Angelo), Andre Royo (Bubbles), and Felicia "Snoop" Pearson (Snoop) — as they take the stage to perform a musical adaptation of HBO's much-loved police procedural.
When a climate change study forecasted an unpleasant result in terms of rising sea levels, North Carolina decided to outlaw the result. Tonight's Colbert Report showed that Stephen Colbert is not a fan of such practices.
In order to properly cover the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, CNN went with wall to wall coverage that provided ample opportunity for Piers Morgan and the other commentators to gush about all the boats and the way they turned and other various non-events. CNN was so committed to the event, they didn't even break away when that horrible plane crash in Nigeria occurred. On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart recapped their coverage and was highly amused.
OK, so it's not actually the President singing Carly Rae Jepsen's oh-God-why-can't-I-stop-listening-to-this hit, but it's definitely the next best thing.
It's not often news when 91-year-old people go to the hospital with a bladder infection, but it is when they're royalty. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was "admitted to hospital" (that's how they say it) today, hours before the Queen's jubilee concert. He was said to be "disappointed" to be missing it.
By most accounts, Maria Gunnoe is a pretty swell lady. She's a coal activist who's won prizes for her efforts to stop mountaintop removal coal mining, and just last week she went to Washington, D.C. to talk to the House Committee on Natural Resources. Gunnoe was in our nation's capital to plead her case on behalf of her West Virginia neighbors suffering through coal-related water pollution.
Despite the life-threatening nature of the injuries he sustained after a piece of metal penetrated the windshield of the bus he was driving, Wu Bin, a 48-year-old bus operator from Hangzhou, China, still managed to find the strength to stop the vehicle, lift the parking brake, put on the hazards, and ask the two-dozen passengers on board to remain seated, before passing out.
This unreleased dub rips off Madonna's "Into the Groove" quite explicitly, and I suspect that is the point. Considering that it's coming from one of the most encyclopedia minds in dance music today, Dimitri from Paris, this track reads more like a reference to the small rash of musical Madonna wannabes in the '80s. In the hierarchy, I think "Headphones" sits somewhere below Regina's "Baby Love" but above Alisha's "Baby Talk." This guy knows what I'm talking about.
On this week's episode of The Jennifer Love Hewitt Handjob Hour The Client List , Love's character Riley found herself unable to change the oil of her latest client Derrick, because he just wanted to talk about his relationship problems. She was cool with that because in addition to being a massage therapist, she's also kind of a therapist therapist? His woman ended up getting a vibrator to help, I don't know, smooth things out and that made things better or something?
The appropriate response to Girls, a television program about Korean War combat surgeons for whom laughter is the only way to keep from weeping in a world gone mad, is to saw off your boyfriend's foot and mail it to a Canadian politician. But that would be illegal, and today is the 39th anniversary of Murry Wilson's death, so here is a recap.
Last year, a Target store in Valley Stream, New York was the site of an long campaign by the UFCW to unionize the store's workers. Target has no unionized stores, and remains staunchly anti-union. The union lost the vote at Valley Stream, but last month a judge ordered a new election due to company misconduct. Let's take a look at just how brazen Target's anti-union culture of fear really is.
