I ran across this delightful adult toy this morning as I was working at my day job – which is porn:

He’s called Beatin’ Barack and if you go to the Pipedreams site, you can see him in “action”. If you click the pic above, you can see him in his NSFW plastic glory.

Even got the TwitPic account:

*note* Not sure why the TwitPic embed cuts the head off the image but what the hell. It’s free and you get what you pay for.

…issue from so empty a heart.

Let me start by saying that I think Sarah Palin is a pretty lady. I don’t care for her politics and while I’ve never met the woman, her personality strikes me as mean-spirited, dishonest and vindictive. Regardless of that, there’s no getting around the fact that she is blessed with good skin, doe eyes and an appealing smile. Well, she used to be:

I noticed the change in the former governor’s appearance after having watched videos of her chat with Barbara Walters. There’s a definite tautness to her face, an upturn at the corners of the eyes and her eyebrows now sport a much higher arch. Being a woman who survived the thin eyebrow craze of the 1970’s (as well as a former cosmetologist) I pay attention to these things. Sarah’s eyebrows had always been thin with a minimal arch that rose closer to the middle of her eye. Her eyes turned outwardly down. Not anymore:

Mind you, I realize the magic that can be done with makeup and lighting and if Ms. Palin hasn’t undergone any plastic surgery procedures, I apologize for believing that she has. I also understand that it’s no fun getting older and the experience must be doubly awful for a famous person. What I don’t understand is why someone so obviously youthful and attractive would mess with a good thing. Her face was so soft and inviting. Now it looks cold and harsh:

I don’t understand facial vanity surgery, especially for beautiful people. It always seems like one procedure is never enough and the folks that do it end up looking nothing like themselves. To me, most plastic surgery makes a face look older and rougher not younger.

I suppose I’ll get griped at for picking on a woman’s appearance. I’ll be called “sexist”. But I ask you, which is more sexist – commenting on a female celebrity’s Botox or that female celebrity’s willingness to accept that her external beauty is worth the price of injecting poison into her face?

I was all ready to write a post about Carrie Prejean being a child pornographer. Up until I read this entry at TMZ I sincerely thought that Ms. Prejean was 17 when she shot a solo-masturbation video and sent it to her boyfriend.

Don’t get me wrong. Child pornography is a horrid thing and the people that create it and seek it out belong in prison.

I haz a sad because I don’t like Carrie Prejean and I so very much wanted to see the look on her face when a reporter asked her whether or not she realized that, by filming her 17-year old self, she was a child pornographer.

But I should have known better. Of course she lied. Just like she lied in her beauty pageant contract. She even tried that “I was only a teen” excuse when her semi-nude pics surfaced, which was another fucking lie. I’m beginning to think the woman is a compulsive liar, not unlike her role model, Sarah Palin.

Well, guess what sweetie honey baby? You weren’t 17. There are more videos of you showing pink. Probably enough videos to build a decent paysite around. Adult webmasters are on the hunt and they will find your clips. Get ready dear. Your hell is just beginning.

I learned two things after watching yesterday’s long-winded preamble to passage of the House HCR bill:

1. Abortion scares the shit out of Washington D.C.

2. John Boehner cold reads his scripts speeches.
