UPDATED: Miss California Says NOM on Same-Sex Marriage

UPDATE: The National Organization for Marriage advertisement featuring Miss California has now launched on YouTube. We'll reserve our comments about the claims that proponents of "opposite marriage" are being victimised, but the ad is not exactly going down a treat with viewers.

According to Ben Smith at Politico the National Organization for Marriage (which raised many Twitter users ire for its attempt to associate the term 'NOM' with something other than pictures of cute animals eating stuff) has enlisted the support of Miss California Carrie Prejean for the launch of its new advertisement.

Prejean, of course, told Perez Hilton that she believed in "opposite marriage"- that is, marriage between a man and a woman:

The ad will apparently focus on the 'vicious attacks' Prejean was subject to after stating her opposition to same-sex marriage. We'll try to bring you more details after its release tomorrow.

Obama 'Bowing Down' to Saudi King? But Conservapedia Fails To Deliver.

During Thursday’s meeting of the most developed economies in London, President Obama bowed before King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. While some, on blogs and radio discussions, were making fun of the President by suggesting that he was about to clean the floor, others added that it was unacceptable for Americans who are proud of their revolutionary past to see their President bowing down in front of a dictator.

Might President Obama have kissed King Abdullah’s hands? Why not? The only visual source, unfortunately, does not give a clear point of view. However, one thing we do know is that a younger Muslim always shows utmost respect to an older Muslim in public and is expected to kiss the latter’s hands. Hmm, we should think more about it…

And now, it is time for Conservapedia to take some action. As we have been keeping a curious eye on Conservapedia it was, to be honest with you, upsetting not to see this included as additional ‘proof’ of Obama’s ‘Muslim’ faith! Now, they have a new point to argue for…

LATEST UPDATE: Obama Bows Down to Saudi King! The Controversy Continues:

Ali did get the Internet, or at least the right-thinking portion of it, moving.

His challenge, “It is time for Conservapedia to take some action,” has been met. Our favourite on-line encyclopedia has updated its entry for Barack Hussein Obama, “Never before in the history of the U.S. has a president displayed such shocking deference to a foreign official.”

Obama Is The Anti-Christ. Definitely.

Humanitarian Crisis in Zimbabwean Prisons: Death Camps!

Zimbabwe, the country of poverty, hunger and death… Zimbabwe, the country where the annual inflation rate is over 231 million percent, the unemployment rate is over 90 percent and thousands of people die just because of cholera every year… This country has witnessed almost every kind of incomprehensibly dramatic event, yet here the Mugabe government has plumbed new depths in its disregard for basic humanitarian values- weak and diseased inmates living in the squalid conditions of Zimbabwe's overcrowded jails succumb to starvation at the hands of the authorities:

As can clearly be seen from the images taken by a hidden camera, prisoners are deliberately left hungry and given no medication. Only a bowl of corn is given daily to each prisoner, while many prison officers are selling these meagre supplies on the black market. Even prisoners given food can barely bring it to their mouths. Annah Y. Moyo, a Zimbabwean lawyer who is working with the Southern African Center for Survivors of Torture, stated that the conditions in Zimbabwean prisons were “a form of torture.” This is more than torture. The corrupt regime of the Mugabe government is committing a crime against humanity.

To those who think that there is exaggeration or manipulation at work here, the recent statement of Roy Bennet, a former opposition politician who is now a part of Zimbabwe's unity government, illustrates the tragic level of the situation. He stated that during his one month imprisonment before being granted bail in an arms case, five people died and it took authorities 24 to 48 hours to collect the bodies from the jails.
