Citing their Terms of Service, YouTube yanked GOP presidential candidate’s Fred Karger’s “Sexy Frisbee” California campaign video after it was flagged by YouTube viewers. The video is now on Vimeo. Karger, who is openly gay, made a lighthearted California-themed campaign ad which featured cute guys and gals frolicking on the beach in “Fred Who” tee-shirts. At the end, two men kiss. And the problem is? Actually the problem seems to be with YouTube and its users: Karger’s minute-long video does not violate any law, is not sexually explicit, and the beach goers wear more clothes than Victoria’s Secret models. I looked over YouTube’s community guidelines and nowhere does it say that showing two people kissing is a violation of community guidelines–were it, a lot of music and wedding videos wouldn’t be put up!

A video at a campaign event shows West Virginia U.S. Senate candidate John Raese (R) coming to Ted Nugent's defense, calling the musician a "patriot" and saying that "it's a concern" that the Secret Service investigated Nugent's inflammatory remarks threatening President Obama.
The geniuses at ManGlaze came up with Santorum as the name for their newest Matte Brown Nail Polish ... When Senator Santorum pulled out of the race for president after repeatedly coming in Number 2 and his campaign was aborted, there was talk that they might change the name. Despite Santorum pulling out early, ahead of the race’s climax, ManGlaze didn't rename the polish, and I'm glad. There is no shame in having Santorum on your fingers. It happens to a lot of people ...that are as excited about matte nail polish I am.

What are the odds? A state-owned Chevy Suburban carrying Gov. John Kasich was involved in a minor traffic crash this afternoon on I-71 Downtown. The responding Columbus police officer charged with compiling the crash report? That would be Officer Robert Barrett, the city freeway police officer whom Kasich called “an idiot” for pulling him over a few years back.
