Indonesia's conservative information minister, Tifatul Sembiring, is eating so much crow for shaking Michelle Obama's hand upon the Obamas' arrival in Jakarta. Sembiring makes a point of not touching unrelated women! So he's awkwardly blaming Michelle Obama for this.

Yesterday, we published the anonymous account of a young man from Philadelphia who had a naked sleepover with Delaware GOP senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell three years ago. Some people did not like that! Here's why we'd do it again.

"Everybody in the world knows you don't believe anything on Wikipedia," Rush Limbaugh told his listeners last year. So, uh, it must be embarrassing for him that he just used Wikipedia as a source—and got his facts wrong.

Mike Bloomberg: wealthy druggie racist hypocrite (more or less).

This profile of Anwar al-Awlaki, the extremist cleric whose influence was cited in the Times Square, Fort Hood and Christmas day attacks, has many revelations to recommend it. Among them — the fact he got probation for soliciting prostitutes. [NYT]

A lawyer for the Vatican claimed, in a statement earlier today, that the two years it took the current pope to defrock a convicted pedophile was quick. But in 2006 he excommunicated an Archbishop who defied the celibacy doctrine 'automatically'.

America's most famous teenage mother has a new commercial denouncing pre-marital sex. The message of the spot is basically, "If Sarah Palin is not your mother, don't have a baby as a teen." There's also a Levi Johnston guest spot!

Roger Ailes, corpulent prick and president of Fox News, has come out of the closet as a liberal who opposes the war in Afghanistan and thinks wearing lapel pins to prove that you care about something is shallow.

Gov. Chris Christie, whose red-candidate-in-a-blue-state election as governor of New Jersey was a victory for Teabagging culture warriors everywhere, named sex doctor to head the state's Department of Children and Family Services. And her sex toys are illegal in Mexico.

Joseph Stack, the man who divebombed a tax office in Texas in his small plane last week is being held up, albeit mainly euphemistically and anonymously, as an anti-big-government hero by the tea party movement.

In your wicked Wednesday media column: the post-Roger Hodge day at Harper's, real journalists sure don't work in a "coffee shop," layoffs at ABC, and Nancy Grace is bad.

New York Post TV columnist Linda Stasi had a rough night in December 2005: She tripped over a police barricade walking home from dinner, injuring her face and wrists. It was bad, but nothing $2 million wouldn't take care of.

Riddle me this! What do Greenville, South Carolina, allegations of John McCain's illegitimate African American kid, Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed, and former Dubya press secretary Ari Fleischer getting a blowjob have in common? No, really: guess. Ready? So awesome:

Remember Portfolio? The nearly stillborn Conde publication's fallen editor Joanne Lipman's back, with an editorial for Sunday's Times entitled "The Mismeasure Of Woman," where she argues that feminism's stalled out. Great, except: it's inaccurate, intellectually offensive, and gratingly pompous.

Michael Bloomberg is an imperious, irritable oligarch who has purchased the mayoralty of New York City for life. And the New York Times has something to say about him: He puts salt on his pizza.
