The Vatican appears to be heating up under the lead of its octogenarian leader: The Vatican's second-highest ranking doctrinal official on Monday forcefully branded homosexual marriage an evil and denounced abortion and euthanasia as forms of "terrorism with a human face." I like it. We might lose the culture war, but at least we'll go down swinging.

Alright, I'm confused. This story says Cho hired an escort service. He paid for an hour of service, but the woman says she left when he tried to touch her. "I started dancing and that's when he you know, touched me and tried to get on me and that's when I pushed him away."
I always thought "escort service" was a euphemism for a quean-type service. If anyone can shed light on this, go ahead.

CBS merely suspended these shock jocks:
In the [prank telephone call] skit, a series of apparently unsuspecting employees of a Chinese restaurant are berated by a caller who tells one woman he would like to “come to your restaurant” to see her naked, especially a part of her body he refers to as “hot, Asian, spicy.” The caller also attempts to order “flied lice,” brags of his prowess in kung fu and repeatedly curses at several employees.
The Asian community won't stand for it. “They don't think they're going to get any backlash from the Asian-American community,” [the president of the Organization of Chinese Americans] said. “They're definitely wrong.” Do I smell competition, which ethnic group can mount the greatest protest? My money is on Sharpton and Co.
