Demi mendapatkan voucher belanja sebesar £100 atau Rp1,4 juta, sejumlah wanita nekat memasuki pusat perbelanjaan hanya berbalut pakaian dalam. Mereka berpartisipasi dalam program ‘belanja seksi’ yang digelar Lakeside Shopping Centre di Essex, Inggris.Pusat perbelanjaan itu sebelumnya mengumumkan akan memberikan hadiah menarik pada 100 wanita pertama yang datang pada minggu pagi. Syaratnya, mereka hanya boleh mengenakan bra, celana dalam, dan sepatu tumit tinggi.Sebanyak 100 wanita yang bergegas memasuki pusat perbelanjaan mendapat kartu vocer gratis. Dengan vocer di genggaman, mereka langsung berburu barang yang diinginkan.
Barang yang menjadi buruan utama para wanita ini bukan jaket atau busana untuk menutupi tubuh mereka. Para wanita itu justru langsung berjalan ke arah tempat penjualan sepatu. Sebagian besar dari mereka terlihat menenteng tas belanja yang berisi sepatu tumit tinggi.
Pihak dari Lakeside Shopping Centre, Kylie Minor, berharap para wanita yang memenangkan voucher tersebut merasa puas dengan koleksi pakaian dan sepatu musim semi yang ditawarkan.Mereka juga merasa senang banyak wanita yang ikut serta dalam program tersebut. “Senang melihat semua wanita cantik menggunakan lingerie dan sepatu tumit tinggi,” kata Kylie, seperti dikutip dari Genius Beauty.Hmm.. Aya aya wae...
Michael Stickings (@mjwstickings) has shared a Tweet with you: "jaketapper: Cain email: 'It's no secret that the Democrat Party + their surrogates in the mainstream media are out to derail Herman Cain's candidacy...'"
Yes, I'll admit it. We all conspired to persuade Cain to harass, grope, and generally disrespect women, to have a long-term affair, and to wallow in shameless hypocrisy, not to mention to look like a fool throughout this entire campaign. We devised that whole 9-9-9 idiocy and held his tongue while he struggled to remember what Libya was all about.
Once more, we see that Cain refuses to take responsibility for anything and everything. It's always someone else's fault. And this will be his bullshit narrative when he quits the race.
I am well aware of the danger of getting totally sick of Christmas before we even get into December, but please indulge me on this one. I love that Bing Crosby-David Bowie duet that we have all seen so many times. For the record, this unusual performance was part of Bing Crosby's annual Christmas special in November of 1977 and, I'm sure you would agree, has become a classic.
I'll try to keep the Christmas music posts to a minimum -- or maybe I won't. I haven't decided.

In case you missed it, New Jersey Governor (and all-around bully and blowhard) Chris Christie slammed President Obama on Monday:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ripped President Obama for the failure of the debt supercommittee, calling the president "a bystander in the Oval Office" in comments Monday.
"I was angry this weekend, listening to the spin coming out of the administration, about the failure of the supercommittee, and that the president knew it was doomed for failure, so he didn't get involved. Well, then what the hell are we paying you for?" Christie said in Camden, N.J. "It's doomed for failure, so I'm not getting involved'? Well, what have you been doing, exactly?"
This is complete and utter bullshit, as Steve Benen explained yesterday:
The New Jersey governor added that he's "astonished" that the president "refuses" to just call people into a room and solve problems. This is the kind of criticism the media finds compelling, but which is nevertheless idiotic.
The president has tried every negotiating tactic that exists to get congressional Republicans to work on finding solutions. Obama has tried hands-on talks; he's tried keeping his distance. The president has tried hard sells and soft sells, directly and indirectly. He's made private appeals and public appeals. He's made arguments based on policy, polls, and principles. He's tried charm offensives, combativeness, and everything in between. He's made partisan, bipartisan, tripartisan, and nonpartisan arguments, all in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, GOP leaders will be open to good-faith compromise.
And yet, nothing has worked. Nothing.
Obama isn't blameless, to be sure, but he should be blamed for being so willing not just to compromise with Republicans but to agree to a deal that leans heavily Republican. He should not be blamed for not trying to reach a deal. If anything, he's gone out of his way, much to the ongoing chagrin of progressives, to get a deal done. (Actually, he hasn't really gone out of his way. It's more that his way isn't the progressive way.)
If there is blame to be assigned here, and there most certainly is, it is the Republicans who must be blamed. There hasn't been a deal only because, being anti-tax absolutists, they have been absolutely unwilling to budge on revenue increases even when the president, with Democratic support, has offered them massive spending cuts even to major entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
The president has been anything but a bystander throughout this whole mad exercise, from the debt ceiling talks through to the supercommittee (which was never going to reach a deal, let's be honest; it was just for show). And for Christie to call him that is just plain ignorant.
