Boy genius Ben Shapiro takes to Breitbart.com to complain that Maxim’s list of hot women includes two women that he doesn’t think are very hot. One of them — Hoda Kotb — is old, for crying out loud! The only reason women like Kotb would find herself on the list is that she’s a liberal and, of course, Maxim is well-known for only celebrating the hotness of liberals; it’s one of the pillars of the liberal conspiracy to take over America.

But Shapiro will have none of it. Making lists of hot women is something he obviously takes very seriously and he will not bow to the ghastly liberal agenda. After all, he’s the author of Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans so you can be sure he’s going to speak his mind about which women are hot and which women aren’t. Once Kotb and Kamala Harris hear that the boy genius thinks they’re not hot enough for Maxim’s list, you can be sure they’ll feel pretty bad about themselves. Luckily, and thanks to Maxim, millions of other men will continue to objectify them so I’m sure they’ll be just fine.

If you are bold enough to click over to Breitbart for this gem of an “article,” do yourself a favor and don’t look at the comments; they’re everything you expect and worse.

We need to let those who will come in the future to represent us [know] that we are serious. The 2nd amendment means nothing unless those in power believe you would have no problem simply walking up and shooting them if they got too far out of line and stopped responding as representatives. It seems that we are unable to muster that belief in any of our representatives on a state or federal level, but we have to have something, something costly, something that they will fear that we will use if they step out of line.

Has Haaretz already given us the week’s stupidest story? You decide:

U.S. President Barack Obama, due in Israel for his first official visit later this week, graduated from college in 1983. As of the latest count, there are close to 25 of his former Columbia University classmates living in Israel, most of whom have been in the country for 15-20 years. And here’s the thing: None of them remember Obama - who transferred to Columbia after his sophomore year at Occidental College in California - from their undergrad years. Nor do they know anyone else who does. Read more. 

If you read carefully, you’ll see the crux of this piece is that 25 people who went to the same college as President Obama don’t remember seeing him around campus. Each one explains that they knew pretty much everyone so it’s kinda weird that they don’t even remember ever seeing Obama. None of the 25 alums explicitly suggests that he was probably too busy forging his Hawaiian birth certificate to hang out at the local coffee shop, sign up for yearbook staff, or study at the library, but a couple of them get pretty close.

Incidentally, I did my undergraduate degrees at Michigan State’s James Madison College. There were approximately 250 incoming students my freshman year and we all lived, ate meals, and went to classes in the same building. I did not know all of my classmates and I don’t think each of them knew me; I guess President Obama might have been one of them … if not for the age difference.

An 18-year-old Florida woman was only slightly injured this week when she was shot by her friend’s oven, police said.

Aalaya Walker was visiting a friend in St. Petersburg Monday when they decided they wanted some late-night waffles, The Tampa Bay Times reported. So Walker began preheating the oven — unaware that her friend, JJ Sandy, 25, was storing a magazine from his .45-caliber Glock 21 in the oven.

Read the complete story.

When putting your guns and ammo in the oven is outlawed, only outlaws will have ovens that shoot people;

Guns don’t kill people, ovens kill people;

I’ll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, cold oven;

… and so on.

If you read this in a book, you’d say the author went too far and the narrative was no longer believable:

If the gun advocates behind this year’s inaugural Gun Appreciation Day had hoped to use the day’s festivities to build support for their anti-regulation platform, they are going to have to wait another year.
