New Mexico woman beats mom in head with vibrator during argument



She was "charged" with "battery".

From Rawstory.com:

Cara Claffy
Police arrested a New Mexico woman accused of beating her mother in the head with a sex toy during argument over the weekend.
The Smoking Gun reported that Sheryl Claffy called police late Sunday night to say her 35-year-old daughter, Cara Claffy, had struck her in the head with a vibrator at the Albuquerque home they share.
The 60-year-old Claffy was bleeding from the head when police arrived and told them her daughter was in a pickup truck parked outside.
But police found only a man in the driver’s seat, although officers noted “an electric vibrator” on the passenger-side floorboard.
Investigators did not offer additional details about the device.
Officers found Cara Claffy leaving a nearby house, and she denied striking her mother.
She said her mother told her she’d struck herself in the head with the sex toy.
Cara Claffy was arrested and charged with domestic violence and aggravated battery of a household member.
She has been previously arrested for domestic violence and drug possession.

There's something terribly wrong in Iowa

It takes an extraordinary fool to vote for a man that is so clearly as stupid as Rep. Steve King. I'm guessing that the Republicans in Iowa (especially in the districts that produced Rep. King and the equally witless Sen. Charles Grassley) would rather vote for a dunce than a Democrat no matter how empty their heads are or how much they harm their families, friends and neighbors.  The latest fecal matter spewed out by this moron:


Rep. King with Reps. Louis Gomert (R-Haldol) & Michelle Bachmann (R-Thorazine)
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) on Sunday said that he opposed protecting LGBT people in hate crimes legislation because their attributes were not “immutable,” and so they couldn’t prove their sexual orientation. 

During an interview with WHO-TV, King expressed regret that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) had vetoed a bill that would have allowed business owners to use their religion as reason to discriminate against LGBT people. 

“You’re an individual entrepreneur with God-given rights that our founders defined in the Declaration of Independence,” he explained. “You should be able to make your own decisions with what you do in that private business.”

King acknowledged that the public accommodation section of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protected individuals based on race, religion and other characteristics.

“And there’s nothing mentioned in there on self-professed behavior,” he said, referring to homosexuality. “And that’s what they’re trying to perfect, is special rights for self-professed behavior. And I think it’s difficult for us to define a law that would protect self-professed behavior.”

But when asked if his use of the term “self-professed behavior” meant that being LGBT was a choice, King said that he wasn’t sure.“I think it exists across the continuum in some type of a curve, and I don’t know what that curve actually looks like,” the Iowa Republican opined. “I think some’s nature and some’s nurture. Some might be purely each. But I think a lot of it is a combination of nature and nurture.”

“And the one thing I referenced when I say ‘self-professed,’ how do you know who to discriminate against?” he continued. “They about have to tell you. And are they then setting up a case, is this about bringing a grievance or is it actually about a service that they’d like to have?”“And doesn’t free enterprise provide that service if the demand is there? Someone can open up a cake shop, can’t they?” 

In the end, King argued that LGBT people didn’t deserve equal protection because their sexual orientation could not be “independently verified” and can be “willfully changed.” “And when we get into area of hate crimes legislation, I’ve opposed that because you’re punishing people for what you think went on in their head at the time they perpetuated a crime,” he said. “And it’s a murky area of the law. We’ve not gone that way until the modern era, and I think it gets very messy.”

Why am I fat?

Uh....

Celebrities behaving badly

...and having someone posting photos.

From DListed.com

iPhone, meet your new wallpaper. If you put an empty Corona bottle in his hand and replaced that ugly ass casino carpet with dead grass, that would be my uncle at the end of every family gathering. Shit, that’s me at the end of every gathering.
Coochies got wet and laughs came flying out of mouths at Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada last night when George Lopez’s drunk, juicy, bloated gut hung out as he took a little sweet nectar-induced nap on the floor. That picture is the reason why I’m choking on cackles today. CTV News says that police put George in handcuffs at 10:49pm for being messy and drunk in public.TMZ says that George wasn’t charged with anything, but he was thrown in the drunk tank to dry out. George performed at Caesars right before he did the funniest thing he’s ever done and he’s supposed to perform again there tonight.
