Vuvuzelas on Stun

We’re told there’s going to be another outbreak of Sport in a moment. For those who dislike Adventure, the Stinque Incredibly Annoying Vuvuzela Button is the one on the right.

It’s been a week since the Little Blue Pill edition of World Cup Hotties, and the str8 boy Stinquers have been so patient in only complaining a little bit about six days of objectification of male soccer players, so the reward is another WCHotD post featuring some wimminz, too.
Today’s World Cup Hottie is Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas. He was in the news last week after the tabloids started blaming his hot reporter girlfriend Sara “Pastasauce” Carbonero for distracting him during their loss to Switzerland. Today, he managed to keep it together in Spain’s defeat of Chile, allowing Spain to pass on to the knock-out rounds that start tomorrow.
Louie Gohmert (R-We’ll Have What He’s Having): “I talked to a retired FBI agent who said that one of the things they were looking at were terrorist cells overseas who had figured out how to game our system. And it appeared they would have young women, who became pregnant, would get them into the United States to have a baby. They wouldn’t even have to pay anything for the baby. And then they would turn back where they could be raised and coddled as future terrorists. And then one day, twenty, thirty years down the road, they can be sent in to help destroy our way of life.” [TPM]

We’ve been following Dave Weigel for awhile — first at the Washington Independent, then at WaPo, where he recently moved to continue his coverage of wingnuts and teabaggers.
Now we’ll have to find him somewhere else, because he just resigned today.
Turns out Dave was also active off-blog — at “Journolist”, a private email list for shop talk. Fishbowl DC decided to liberate some of his messages there, two of which we find delightful:
“Conservatives have maintained their leading position among U.S. ideological groups in the first half of 2010. Gallup finds 42% of Americans describing themselves as either very conservative or conservative. This is up slightly from the 40% seen for all of 2009 and contrasts with the 20% calling themselves liberal or very liberal.” [Gallup]
