Young man makes anti-rape PSA: ‘How to treat a drunk girl’



“Hey, bros,” he said to the camera. “Check who’s passed out on the couch.”

Moving aside, he showed a teenage girl unconscious on a sofa behind him.


“Guess what I’m going to do to her?” he asked, then disappeared off-camera and returned with a pillow, a blanket and a cup of water.

“Real men treat women with respect,” he concluded.

Jeb Praises George W. Bush For "Not Having An Opinion" In Past 4 Years

March 24, 2013


Quote of the Day

"He is like the most focused, disciplined guy. To imagine being a former president and not having an opinion on anything over the last four years, really? I mean, to have that discipline, to be respectful of the president that hasn't been as respectful of him as he should have been? Man. I could have never done that."

-- Jeb Bush, in a CNN interview, on his brother, former President George W. Bush.

Phil Donahue Was Fired For Threatening Tweetie's Manliness?

I think he saw me as a threat to his supremacy,” Donahue told HuffPost Live’s Marc Lamont Hill. “He wanted to be the face of MSNBC and here comes this talk show host. I had the benefit of recognition … I think I was a threat to his goal of being the man at MSNBC. He was quite emotional. He was emotionally upset.”

He said that he had not been prepared for “the fear of the suits at MSNBC” about his show, adding that he was forced to put two conservative guests on for every liberal.

Donahue said he thought corporate pressure had played a key role in his show’s demise.

Gingrich & Santorum tried to form anti-Romney unity ticket, but couldn’t decide who’d get to be prez

Gingrich and Santorum tried to form an anti-Romney unity ticket, but couldn’t decide who’d get to be prez.

Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were close to forming a "unity ticket" to challenge Mitt Romney during the Republican presidential primaries, Bloomberg Businessweek's Joshua Green reported Friday. But ultimately the two men couldn't agree on who would be president if they won.

“In the end, it was just too hard to negotiate," Gingrich said in the report.

“I was disappointed when Speaker Gingrich ultimately decided against this idea, because it could have changed the outcome of the primary,” Santorum told Businessweek. “And more importantly, it could have changed the outcome of the general election.”
