Non-Racist Racism & Santa's House

1. This week a Louisiana judge refused to marry an interracial couple out of concern for any children they may have and on the grounds that interracial marriages don't last long. "I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the AP. Heh, yeah get off this guy's back, media. If making a decision based solely on a person's race is racist, well then... [head explodes].

2. Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator John McCain, is catching fire for a recent twitter pic she sent out showing her in a very low cut top. McCain insists she was not thinking about her outfit when she took the pic and has considered deleting her Twitter account, calling it a "vessel for harassment." I think it's silly for anyone to freak out or become creepy over Meghan McCain's breasts. Her... sweet, sweet breasts...

3. Six year old Falcon Heene was found hiding in his attic on Thursday after family and police feared he may have taken off in the family's homemade helium balloon that traveled nearly 50 miles. Authorities searched the house but found nothing and the boy's brother claimed to see Falcon in the balloon's compartment shortly before liftoff. An awkward moment arose though when 6 year old Falcon revealed himself as his smiling dad carried the contents of the boy's room to the curb.

4. After much criticism, a group involving Rush Limbaugh with plans to purchase the St. Louis Rams has officially dropped Limbaugh from the group. Limbaugh used the incident as evidence that people in the media want to destroy conservatism. Insiders say however Limbaugh is just bitter about how he found out: he and the Rams no longer had the same mutual Facebook friends.

5. A team of explorers who spent three months hiking around the North Pole said that within the decade the North Pole will be an open sea during summer months. "This could lead to flooding affecting one-quarter of the world's population," says Martin Sommerkorn of the World Wildlife Fund. Did you hear that, three-quarters of the world's population? Party cruise to Santa's house!

High five.
