World: Daily Poll: Catholics and Anglicans in a fight to the death

  • Yesterday, the Catholic Church announced a bold move to grab members from the Anglican Church, the offshoot of Catholicism created after King Henry VIII wasn’t allowed a divorce hundreds of years ago. A lot’s changed since then, most notably the Anglican church’s allowance of gay pastors and bishops, which has become a wedge issue that has many Anglicans looking elsewhere. Is this the way the Catholic party should be headed? Vote. source

Politics: Rush Limbaugh proves (again) why he’s not worthy of NFL ownership

  • If he really thinks that humanity is destroying the planet, humanity is destroying the climate, that human beings in their natural existence are going to cause the extinction of life on Earth — Andrew Revkin. Mr Revkin, why don’t you just go kill yourself and help the planet by dying?
  • Rush Limbaugh • Telling New York Times environmental reporter Andrew Revkin that he should kill himself. It’s kind of a bizarre thing – Limbaugh is so far on the right sometimes that he can’t see why people might look at things like this and just throw up their hands in disbelief. This is not classy. • source

U.S.: Study: Chicago’s the most stressful city – but Miami’s pretty chill

  • Just think how stressed out the hurdle-jumpers would be. It nearly won the Olympics a month ago, but perhaps The Windy City didn’t need it, considering how stressed out it is. Other stressed cities include Boston, Los Angeles and San Diego (stay classy). The cities which aren’t stressful include Miami, Dallas/Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Cincinnati and Minneapolis. source

Culture: If anyone believed “RIP Kanye West” was true, pity on you fools

  • Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It’s totally disrespectful to make up a story like this where all human
  • Kanye West’s girlfriend, Amber Rose • Discussing on Twitter how her oft-discussed boyfriend is, in fact, still alive. So why’s “RIP Kanye West” trending? Blame 4chan, which you would expect to come up with something like this. I mean, come on, why would Kanye die? It’s way too obvious, guys. Pick a more interesting target next time. • source
