NRSC: Dems ‘Try To Inject Farm Animals’ Into NV-SEN With Attacks On Lowden’s Chicken Comments [TPM]

Steve King (R-Infarction) plays to the home crowd: “The Humane Society of the United States… solicits money from well-intentioned but often uninformed animal lovers and uses these donations to lobby Congress for an anti-meat, anti-animal agriculture agenda.

From the folks who brought you the Mormon stud calendar (now in its third edition), comes Hot Mormon Muffins:

The women featured in the calendar range in age from 26 to 53. Some have as many as four children. Several are stay-at-home moms, while others are students, real estate agents, cosmetologists and dance instructors. One is a former Miss Utah and another is a breast cancer survivor, according to biographies on the calendar Web site.

There’s also a series of cheesecake videos on their website, including tips on how to “Prepare Your Muffins for Latter-day Disasters” and “Resurrect Your Muffins”. We’d post one here, but the timing is, shall we say, a little flat.
