Bieber loves Canada and babies. Dislikes non-love sex and killing babies.

Turns out the Islamists were right! If Bieber says we’re the great satan, then by God, it shall be so. Where do I sign up for the opposition? “You guys are evil,” he jokingly tells Vanessa Grigoriadis in an upcoming interview with Rolling Stone. That’s a prelude to his position on Socialized health care:

“Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”

Despite Bieber’s belief in government-run health care, the teenage superstar insists he is non-partisan. “I’m not sure about the parties,” he says. “But whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad.”

He tacts left on Obamacare, but on sucking babies into sinks, Biebs has a “don’t” position:

Bieber also says he is pro-life. “I really don’t believe in abortion,” he says. “It’s like killing a baby?” However, when asked if he would support abortion rights in cases of rape, Bieber hesitates: “Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”

My position (slash “accurate observation”) on the “everything happens for a reason” nonsense is that it’s a poor explanation for the unexplainable, but interesting about this is that Rolling Stone updated their pre-release of this quote to “correct” that Bieber added “I don’t know what that reason would be”. Kinda weird, but I guess a decent save. The dumb part is ever using that phrase, since if you believe it then it applies to things as horrific as rape, but saying it out loud illustrates how crazy it sounds so Bie-B-J was smart enough to at least backpeddle on it a bit. I give him a pass. But only cuz I can’t stay mad at that face. It’s also totally lame to say “I think something is wrong. but if someone does it, then I can’t say it is wrong” but the kids a music celeb – he dont need nuna that noise, so again the backpeddling is acceptable. More on that:

The edited version reflects Bieber’s uncertainty and confusion about the issue, rather than a glib absolutism (as it first appeared). No word yet from the magazine’s representatives on how the error came to their attention, though writer Vanessa Grigoriadis Tweeted: “online version removed a line” and printed the line in full, yesterday. (She also noted that Bieber, due to his far-reaching cultural influence, “deserves to be asked all questions,” including ones about thorny political issues.)

On Premarital sex it’s strictly “only for love”:

“I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them,” Bieber said. When asked about premarital sex, however, he was a little vaguer. “I think you should just wait for the person you’re … in love with.”

And the most important public policy insight revealed of course was his alleged Gomez affair:

While Bieber has yet to confirm whether or not he’s dating Gomez, Rolling Stone reporter Vanessa Grigoridias notes in her profile that she caught a peek of his computer background, which was a picture of him and Gomez against an orange sunset. His manager Scooter Braun told the magazine that the young star is “absolutely girl-crazy.”

OOoOOooo. Some-ones-got-ah-guuuurl-freeennnnd. teehee.

Here are the Red Eye folks talking about the whole “America is Evil” stuff…

Socialist filmmaker demands his profits

Michael Moore is suing his former partners….

Filmmaker Michael Moore has sued Harvey and Bob Weinstein, accusing the brothers of “Hollywood accounting tricks” and “financial deception” that cheated him out of at least $2.7 million in profits from the hit documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.

There is commentary of course, but the scenario of a vocal anti-capitalist fighting over profits writes itself. Since it’s just too easy, it’s better I just stick with the facts of the story:

Stein later added in a statement: “This is the first time Michael Moore has ever sued anyone in his 20-year career as a filmmaker. That should be some indication about how serious this is.”

“It’s very sad it had to come to this,” the statement said. “Michael believes the Weinsteins have been a force for good when it comes to championing independent film — but that does not give them the right to violate a contract and take money that isn’t theirs.”]

A spokesman at William Morris Endeavor, where Moore is represented by agent Ari Emanuel, said the agent would not be commenting on the lawsuit.

Why High fructose corn syrup is icky

This article on Yahoo!

1. The process of making high fructose corn syrup is pretty weird

Weird? Who the hell cares what’s “weird”. Giving birth is weird. doesn’t mean no one should do it (just most people). What they mean is that it’s “weird” in the classic sense, meaning “not natural”:

The process starts off with corn kernels, yes, but then that corn is spun at a high velocity and combined with three other enzymes: alpha-amylase, glucoamylase, and xylose isomerase, so that it forms a thick syrup that’s way sweeter than sugar and super cheap to produce.

2. High fructose corn syrup does weird stuff to your body

This one is a better play, but unfortunately kindov means “dont eat anything ever” since it’s in everything.

The syrup interferes with the body’s metabolism so that a person can’t stop eating. It’s truly hard to control cravings because high fructose corn syrup slows down the secretion of leptin in the body. Leptin is a crucial hormone in the body that tells you that you’re full and to stop eating.

That’s why it’s so closely associated with obesity in this country. It’s like an addictive drug.

3. There might be mercury in your corn syrup

Yikes dude….

“We went and looked at supermarket samples where high fructose corn syrup was the first or second ingredient on the label,” Dr. David Wallinga, a food safety researcher and activist at the nonprofit Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy said. These 55 different foods included barbecue sauce, jam, yogurt, and chocolate syrup. “We found about one out of three had mercury above the detection limit,” Wallinga said.

4. The environmental impact of high fructose corn syrup is huge

Yawn. don’t care. not true in the real sense, only in the “limited scope of hippie humans” sense. Weakest one in the list.

Tiger Parents

‘The solution to substandard performance is always to excoriate, punish and shame the child’ … Amy Chua.

At first that quote sounds pretty coocoobananas but she does say “substandard” performance, so really isn’t that just logical? What are you supposed to to with a childs substandard performance except to punish and shame them for it? That part, I’m down with. When you go into the robotic requirements of what constitute a Tiger mothers standards, THEN maybe not so much:

The Tiger, Chua explains, is “the living symbol of strength and power”, inspiring fear and respect. And as a “Tiger mother” herself, she assumed the absolute right to dictate her children’s activities and demand rigorous academic standards of them at all times, ridiculing them if necessary to spur them on to greater efforts.

Her children were never allowed to attend a sleepover, have a playdate, watch TV or choose their own extracurricular activities. They were also expected to be top in every subject (except gym and drama) and never get anything other than A-grades – because, Chua explains, Chinese parents believe it is their responsibility to ensure their children’s academic achievement above everything else.

Chua argues that western parents. with their emphasis on nurturing their children’s self-esteem and allowing free expression, have set their children up to accept mediocrity. “Western parents are concerned about their children’s psyches. Chinese parents aren’t. They assume strength, not fragility, and as a result they behave very differently,” she says. If their child doesn’t achieve perfect exam results, the Chinese parent assumes it’s because he or she didn’t work hard enough. “That’s why the solution to substandard performance is always to excoriate, punish and shame the child,” Chua says. And it is crucial for a mother to have the “fortitude” to override her children’s preferences, because to enjoy anything you have to be good at it, to be good at it you have to work, and children on their own never wish to work, she adds.

Most of us know that it’s of course not true that you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, but it illustrates a main difference between the two cultures: When enjoyment is your main goal then you can enjoy almost anything but when success is your main goal then enjoyment only comes through excellence. The two philosophies also show the opposite ends of bad parenting: this “no fun, ever, just work to please your parents” bullshit vs Western societies “do whatever you want and that will be good because you want it and i’m your friend not your parent” bullshit. The point is: they’re both bullshit.

Octomom man-baby fetish whipping pictures

Nadya Suleman, the lady who had 8 kids at one time (Octomom) might be in trouble with Social Services. Because she can’t support any of her kids and is on welfare? No, silly – Because there are photos of her whipping a grown man dressed as a baby…. wait, wtf? Evidently it’s part of a non-sex porn kinda weirdo video thing..something.. and Nadya whips the dude in the diaper, so much so he has welts on his back. The video is being shopped for sale and TMZ says that both Nadya and the dude have signed the model release so it can be sold.

Deceiver explains: I guess when you’re getting your fraudulent ass handed to you by Suze Orman on daytime TV, about to lose your house (for reals), and all that’s standing between you and the welfare line is a box of Boca Burgers, there’s really nothing more an Octomom can do to delay the inevitable. And the inevitable is porn — mommy-dominatrix, soft-core fetish porn, apparently. Because . . . well, I guess there’s a market for everything these days.

Photos of Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, whipping a grown man dressed as a baby may be pushing the boundaries of good taste, but will it also be setting her up for a visit from Social Services?

Terry Lynn Fisher, public information officer for the Orange County Social Services Agency, would not comment to FOX411 on whether Suleman is currently being investigated as a result of the raunchy photos. But she said certain parameters must be met for an investigation to be initiated.

“Allegations of abuse or neglect must rise to the legal level and descriptions of abuse or neglect,” Fisher explains to FOX411.com. “Having said that, all of our social workers take all child abuse reports very seriously and they respond appropriately within the parameters of the law.”

The photos, obtained by TMZ.com, show Suleman dressed in a tight leather corset, whipping mustachioed LA radio personality Tattoo, who is sporting diapers, baby bonnet and a bib.
