'Toddlers & Tiaras' Mom Forces 5-Year-Old To Get Eyebrow Wax (VIDEO)
We've always been too terrified to tune into TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras" and the following clip is a perfect illustration as to why. On a recent episode, a pageant mother forces her wailing and trembling five-year-old daughter to get her eyebrows waxed, even though the little girl was clearly traumatized from once having her skin ripped off during the beauty procedure. To be honest, this video just makes us love our moms even more. (Via Styleite) WATCH: Get HuffPost Style On Twitter and Facebo...

Kennedy Follow-Up
Last week, I reported that a Kennedy miniseries had been nixed. Now it seems the plot has thickened: "America's most iconic political dynasty is at the centre of a Censorship Scandal after a TV network suddenly dropped a multi-million dollar series giving a warts-and-all look at the lives of the Kennedy clan. Those behind the project believe members of the family "bullied" The History Channel into axing The Kennedys after objecting to the way the drama portrayed the private life and sexual esc...

Weekender thread for the coffeehouse: pizza critics unite
This was a popular thread on my Facebook page when I posted that I had Tweeted around the horrors of the products produced at chain pizza places and frozen "food" marketed as pizzas. The discussion didn't involve the politics of chains (such as Dominos), the focus was on the levels of pizza sucktitude (taste). It's assumed that you can make better pizza on your own, or find it at a local joint. Of course there are cities where it's hard to find a good slice. One commenter on Facebook said he...

"So as business resumes, I look forward to working together in that same spirit of common cause with members of Congress from both parties -- because before we are Democrats or Republicans, we are Americans," Obama said in his weekly radio address. The remarks came aft...

Tweet Of The Day - Peter LaBarbera
And I have repeatedly tweeted Porno Pete, calling on him to denounce his BFF Scott Lively for hiring a convicted child molester to work with school Children. Lively has been the subject of numerous praising posts on LaBarbera's site and the two have appeared together at an event held by the SPLC-certified hate group, MassResistance. Last year, MassResistance endorsed Scott Lively as a write-candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, but they too have yet to comment about the arrest at Lively's c...

Weekly remarks by Rep. Jeff Flake, as provided by Republican Party leadership Hello, I’m Jeff Flake, and I represent the people of Arizona’s 6th Congressional District.

Two Oldies But Goodies
FHQ has spent a fair amount of time this week talking about the introduction of several state legislative bills that would shift the dates on which those states' presidential primaries would be held (California, Virginia and one to eliminate the presidential primary in Washington for 2012).

David Frum Is Having A Bad New Media Day
h/t Instapundit. In case you haven't noticed, David Frum had his ass kicked on Twitter by Andrew Breitbart, on a blog at PJM's new Tatler by Roger Simon and now Mark Levin's Facebook page today. Ever the word smith, Frum seems to be single-handedly inserting the word disease into Social Media! How long before Frum labels them an axis of evil, as he's been known to do?

Last Call
I would have to submit that Vince McCrudden is probably not the guy I would trust to have the judgment necessary for running my Hedge Fund.

Our tears' castrating powers
From now on, when a man brings up the much-spoken phrase, ``I can stand anything, except seeing her cry,'' there is no reason to believe that he's part of an insensitive male ploy against the tendency of many women to display their emotions. It turns out that a study published in the journal Science has found that female tears affect men's behavior. And how! At the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, groups of men were asked to smell a cloth moistened with a woman's tears. The effect was im...
