No, they’re not outraged at al Qaeda, the Taliban or Iraqi insurgents for using children as terrorists. Don’t be ridiculous. They’re outraged at the United States for holding them. AP: UN reports US holding +500 kids as unlawful enemy combatants. Here’s the ACLU on the issue:

Fifteen-year-old Miley Cyrus is embarrassed that she allowed herself to be photographed semi-nude, in a sultry come-hither pose. No word on whether Billy Ray or Annie Leibowitz are embarrassed about $$$exualizing an underage girl. Vanity Fair says the 15-year-old was all right with it and that’$$$ good enough for them. Sounds like in the end, the 15-year-old might have [...]

Iranian childrens’ TV. It’s kind of like low-grade Roadrunner, only with filthy Zionists. Also, no Roadrunner. The big-eyed kid is kind of a passive victim of distinctly cowboy-influenced, U.S.-equipped International Zionism. I only watched the first one, though. If you’re home sick watching toons, lemme know if it gets better.

Gets a federal appeals court’s nod.
Thank God for forward-thinking courts that can legislate an appropriate morality for us, and establish that teaching about princely love is appropriate for the lower grades, as long as it violates someone’s medieval religious beliefs. Now we can move on to explaining to grade school kids that some women are born with penises, so [...]
