Wait, what? Gay ISIS-themed celebration in Israel facing criticism

WTF:

ISIS-themed Israeli gay celebration uses beheading photos for promo http://t.co/tEMu0dOknB pic.twitter.com/HmblNvHSe7

— Routine Intelligencer (@intelligencer) September 22, 2014

The Washington Post has actually much more:

Israel’s Ynet reported regarding the celebration promoter’s satire:

Publishing the images online to Drek’s Twitter page, the organizers blogged “as the newest Islamic State gains traction in the centre East, we at Drek decided to give directly into Sharia law and cheer the stubborn Daesh,” utilizing the Arab acronym for the group, and invoking a veiled play on words – “stubborn” in Hebrew may be written as “hard necked,” a mention of the group’s infamous executions.

Because Islamic supremacists killing Jewish reporters is always great material for a joke?

Why the war on warrior women? Joni Ernst losing women 50%-42% in Iowa

http://twitter.com/#!/iamkohan/status/527415756469063680

Here is the latest polling news from Iowa on the Senate race between Republican and veteran Joni Ernst and Democrat Beatle Bailey Bruce Bailey Bruce Braley:

And an excerpt from the write-up:

Iowa Republican State Sen. Joni Ernst is inching ahead among likely voters in the U.S. Senate race and now has 49 percent to 45 percent for U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, the Democrat, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Five percent remain undecided.

This compares to results of an October 23 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University, showing Sen. Ernst at 48 percent and Rep. Braley at 46 percent.

Today’s results show independent voters backing Ernst 50 – 41 percent. Republicans back Ernst 90 – 4 percent. Democrats go to Braley 94 – 4 percent.

The reverse gender gap in this race continues as women back the Democratic man 50 – 42 percent, while men back the Republican woman 56 – 39 percent.

Why the war on warrior women Dems?

And in other news, Joni Ernst’s RV killed a deer last night:

No, she didn’t skin the deer silly liberal, but she could have if she wanted to. R.I.P. Bambi.
