I’m not a huge fan of party politics, but this Democrat ad is on point.

There is Nothing Sana About having Your Culo Hanging Out
Apparently, the latest fashion in jeans is having your ass hang out and your thong showing. These jeans have a built in thong and come just in time for warm weather via Brazil, Sanna Jeans.
Designer Sandra Tanimura expressed to The Daily News,
“We specialize in making low-rise trousers and our customers wanted them to get even lower. I came up with the idea of using the bikini strings to let the trousers hang really low without falling.”
Your ass can hang out too for the low, low price of $90.

Colombian Lesbian Students Not Wanted at Their School
The following video should horrify you. It shows two young Colombian women, returning to register at their high school after a court ordered that they be allowed to go back to school. The student body is gathered outside, screaming: “We don’t want them!”. Why would the 16 and 17 year
girls need a court order to get an education? Why do the students and the principal not want these girls in the school. The girls are lesbians and were expelled. According to the principal, the girls were expelled for disciplinary reasons. The court disagreed and ruled that the principal was “unclear” in the reasons for letting the students go.
Despite the “We don’t want you” shouts one of the students that organized the protest – who is shown with her face against the camera – insists that the protest is not against the two girls but a defense of the dignity of the school’s students. “They [claim] that we are school purely made up by lesbians, and, no, things aren’t like that,” she tells Caracol.
U.S. Navy Humanitarian Mission in Latin America a Smokescreen for New Buildup in Region
I have a healthy cynicism when it comes to the U.S. military, so when this morning I read that the U.S. Navy was sending a warship it used in the Iraq War in 2006 filled with Navy doctors, nurses, dentists, medical technicians, veterinarians and Seabee construction sailors to Guatemala, El Salvador and Peru for a mission called Continuing Promise 2008, a humanitarian mission, you’ll pardon me if I laughed a little.
The mission is supposed to change Latina America’s stereotypes of the U.S.
“It’s amazing sometimes the misperceptions that people have of America and the American people,” said the Boxer’s skipper, Capt. Matt McCloskey. “They think of America as ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous’ or ‘Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.’
“This is a chance to show them the real America and the real Americans, trying to be good neighbors.”
Except that this one ship comes at the same time the U.S. Navy has decided to set reestablish an entire fleet in the region, and not for a humanitarian mission.
