Joe Rogan’s kale shake leads to Twitter skirmish with vegans

http://twitter.com/#!/joerogan/status/233305313992916994

Sometimes it seems that Twitter was invented so people could post innocuous pictures of their lunches. Comedian Joe Rogan’s snap of a midday kale concoction, though, led to an ugly ideological battle.

Rogan’s reference to vegans as “freaks” didn’t take long to hit a nerve.

That last thing I quoted is exactly what I hate about some crazy vegans – a human telling me there's something wrong with reproducing

@joerogan Procreation should be the best thing we do.

Is celebrities mixing it up with fans and followers in ugly Twitter exchanges a new trend? Blake Shelton’s turtle-squashing joke turned into a multi-day affair.

Yet excited to let the world know she only eats plants – plants that could have been eaten by nice animals. Kill yourself, feed the crows

Woa @joerogan keep it calm, you'll need the vegans to throw tomatoes at you during stand up. You'd think an MMA announcer got beat up enough

Is this the final word from Rogan on the subject?

If you do choose a vegan diet, make sure you supplement with B12 or your brain will shrink http://t.co/GnLQoNeV

This Mom Collaborates With Her 2-Year-Old Daughter To Make Amazing Art.

Art historians make a living attempting to discover the meaning behind an artist’s work, unpacking every brushstroke to discover its inspiration. For artist Ruth Oosterman, the answer is simple: her 2-year-old daughter, Eve.

Ruth noticed Eve had begun taking a keener interest in her work, especially while she was painting. So she decided to include the little one in her process with this amazing collaboration. They start with Eve, a canvas and an ordinary ink pen. Ruth doesn’t guide or influence Eve, just lets her create on her own. Then Ruth builds on the scribbles with watercolor.

But it’s not about covering up or taking away from what Eve created. Ruth explains, “I try to work quickly and let imagination and play take root into the painting rather than taking it too seriously, this way I can encourage Eve’s contribution without making it to ‘grown-up.'”

Ruth says she hopes to continue collaborating with Eve as she grows older, so be sure to stay tuned on her blog, The Mischievous Mommy.

Via the L.A. Times:

Nguyen is not the first Orange County link to the group. Adam Gadahn, who once lived as Adam Pearlman, is a prominent translator and spokesman for the group and has been charged in his absence with treason. A relative of Osama bin Laden’s former bodyguard was located in Tustin in 2009.

Editorial cartoonist takes Obama impeachment fear-mongering to new level

http://twitter.com/#!/mflynny/status/495354088809562112

Some Congressional Democrats with the help of their friends in the media have been trying to spread fears of an impeachment of President Obama.

One editorial cartoonist went above and beyond the call of progressive fear-mongering duty:

Wow. Seriously?

The cartoon might have ended up being too controversial for the paper’s website:
