Okay, in a show that is essentially an orgy of death and sex, and…well…sexual death, finding moments of moral clarity becomes something of a challenge. However, though it ended very, very badly, Wednesday night’s episode, titled “She Wants Revenge,” offered one of those moments.
Pornography


In an episode of NBC’s newest comedy Truth Be Told, titled “Adult Content,” issues come to the surface when Russell (Tone Bell) scores some free tickets to the Adult Film Awards. Asking his neighbor (and best pal) Mitch (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) to go with him, the first question is one of honesty vs. lying about going to the event. Deciding that honesty is the best policy, the guys go to tell the wives.

Every boy’s birthday suit-clad, blonde bombshell fantasy is perhaps no more as America’s leading sex revolution icon, Playboy magazine, undergoes a radical change: Playboy magazine nudity is no more. Centerfolds will be leaving center stage. Or will they?
Far from having a change of heart, the nudie mag is getting dressed as a business decision. Last month Playboy editor Cory Jones suggested the idea to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner that the magazine should halt publishing naked women because the internet is doing a fine job of fulfilling the visual sex needs the magazine once provided.

You know the saying: once is a fluke, twice is a trend. Yesterday, Stephen Colbert and First Lady Michelle Obama shared a laugh over Bill Clinton's "passion." On today's With All Due Respect, responding to Mark Halperin's report that Bill Clinton "keeps saying he doesn't know what Snapchat is," John Heilemann quipped "let's hope not, for his sake."
For those who might not be familiar, Snapchat is an app that lets users send photos or videos that self-destruct within seconds—ideal for "sexting." All snickering aside, will Bill's wandering ways become an issue for Hillary?

The Associated Press's report yesterday on the law license suspension of indicted Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, a Democrat, apparently bore too much resemblance to how the wire service typically reports on troubled Republicans and conservatives. The Monday afternoon report by Marc Levy and Mark Scolforo identified her position in its headline ("Court suspends Pennsylvania attorney general's law license"), named her in its opening sentence, and tagged her as a "first-term Democrat" in its second.
As will be seen after the jump, today's AP report on how Kane's office is trying to cope with not having someone allowed to practice law at the helm reverted to predictable form: running an incredibly vague and almost incoherent headline, saving Kane's name for Paragraph 2, and holding the identification of her Democratic Party affiliation until Paragraph 9 (even then, referring only to a "fellow Democrat").

Isn’t it ironic how liberals are the first ones to tell you how “bigoted” and “close-minded” conservatives are, but then they’re the first ones to bash individuals who think for themselves?
The Washington Post should be commended for publishing an articulate op-ed Aug. 25 by freshman Duke University student Brian Grasso, who explained his reasoning for refusing to read one book on his school’s summer reading list. The graphic novel, called Fun Home by lesbian author Alison Bechdel, depicted graphic illustrations of masturbation and lesbian sex. Grasso cited his Biblical beliefs as the primary reason he objected to reading the “pornographic” material.
But of course the liberal media loved the book – so they were the first ones to mock the student who led the charge against it.

There’s no classroom experience the libertine left supports more mightily than “sex education.” They have struggled to banish even a whisper of a religious worldview from the classroom. Only the secular and “science-based” ideology is allowed.
The Daily Beast website recently celebrated a San Francisco ruling: “Hero Judge Rules Abstinence-Only Sex Ed Is Illegal.” They have also discovered a brave new model of sex education for America. It’s found in Norway. “All Hail Scandinavia,” they proclaimed. A female doctor named Line Jansrud demonstrates sex for Norwegian children aged 8 to 12.

Kudos to our colleague Elizabeth Harrington at the Washington Free Beacon. She offers a familiar old slice of sleaze funded by the federal government. An “investigative theatre” company in New York called “The Civilians” has been granted almost $950,000 by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and believe it or not, the National Science Foundation. Its latest creation is a musical about porn titled Pretty Filthy.

Funny ads are great, but BMW’s new one is playing for the wrong kind of yucks. In the new spot for the company’s X5 SUV viewers don’t learn much about the car, but they learn more than they want to about Granny’s sex life.

Jon Perr of Daily Kos writes that Walker, like the Republican base, “believes his Democratic foes aren't just wrong, but unambiguously evil...He talks and fights tough, which for the right wing is not a means but an end in itself.”

Continuing a nearly six-month pattern, the nation's establishment press ignored today's arraignment of pioneering homosexual activist, major Obama campaign bundler and Democrat "kingmaker" Terry Bean in Lane County, Oregon "on two charges of third-degree sodomy, a felony, and sexual abuse in the third degree, a misdemeanor."
A Google News search on Bean's full name during the past 24 hours done at 11 PM ET returned 24 items. Over a dozen of them linked to Michelle Malkin's latest syndicated column decrying the press's disgraceful double standards in covering matters such as these. Most of the remaining results were reports found at Oregon media outlets. One interesting exception was at, of all places, EDGE.

For a show called The View, the program's hosts on Friday all have the same opinion: The Catholic Church needs to change. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg highlighted pop singer Ariana Grande's decision to leave her church because of alleged intolerance towards her gay brother. Fellow-co-host Rosie Perez announced, "I'm a recovering Catholic." Rosie O'Donnell explained, "I, like you, am a recovering Catholic."
