TSA's newest toy? (PHOTO)

A TSA rectal speculum is a device that is inserted into the anus by a TSA screener to keep the anus open for diagnostic viewing of the rectum in order to find explosive devices or illegal merchandise or the inspector's glove that may have come loose.

The rectum is the last eight inches (20.3 cm) of the large intestine that culminates in an orifice called the anus.

Conditions that might warrant the use of a TSA rectal speculum include detecting the presence of TNT, M80s, diamonds, drugs, guns, nukes or when a TSA screener looses his glove and tries to retrieve it from the anal canal.

The speculum is typically a rigid tube or a set of blades that pushes the walls of the rectum apart so a TSA agent can view the canal with direct vision.

Rupert Murdoch's Phone Hacking Scandal Now Includes Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown And Scotland Yard

~

​We noted this morning that the phone hacking scandal plaguing now-shuttered British tabloid News of the World, though it can be traced back for years, had metastasized into a crazy cancer including a possible September 11 connection, rattling Rupert Murdoch's entire News Corporation empire.

Like the last few days, Monday included a rash of new subplots in the story and while the 9/11 part has yet to be substantiated, there are credible new bits about others who may have had their phones and voicemails compromised including Scotland Yard, the very investigators who first looked into the phone hacking in 2006, and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. In other words, it keeps getting uglier.

Locked and Loaded: Pentagon Contractor Helped Write Its Own Armored-Truck Deal

~

How badly did the Pentagon want special trucks that could protect against insurgent bombs? So badly that it let the contractors responsible for providing them essentially write their own contracts.

That’s one of the conclusions from a Pentagon inspector general’s report released late Monday (.pdf) into a contract to provide logistics and maintenance work on Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs) worth nearly half a billion dollars.

The line between contractor and government vendor became so porous that officials “increased the risk for potential waste or abuse on the contract,” the inspector general wrote.

Arizona State Rep. Points Her ‘Raspberry-Pink’ Loaded Gun At Journalist

~

It’s 2011, the year that Republicans point their guns at the media.

First came Maine state Rep. Frederick Ladd Wintle (R) who threatened to shoot a photographer in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot.

Now comes Arizona state Sen. Lori Klein (R). While showing off her “raspberry-pink handgun,” she “aimed it at a journalist” who was interviewing her about her pro-gun positions just outside the Senate chambers.

The gun, a .380 Ruger, was loaded, and Klein did not have the safety on.

Klein, however, told the reporter not to worry because “I just didn’t have my hand on the trigger.”

Sarah Palin Poses For Magazine She Once Called ‘Sexist’ (PHOTO)

BREAKING Newsweek Cover Story: Sarah Palin Still Not Running

The latest issue of Newsweek features a cover of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) with the title “I Can Win.”

Palin’s decision to pose for the magazine is ironic given that just two years ago, she chastised the magazine for doing a different cover story about her.

In November 2009, Palin called Newsweek’s cover of her in runner’s shorts “sexist” and “degrading.” S

he probably also wasn’t thrilled that the story was captioned “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah?”

But now that the magazine’s title is more flattering, Palin seems to be more amenable to publicity from the “lamestream media“

US Defense Secretary Panetta told US troops in Iraq that 9/11 was why they were there although Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11

~

Newly appointed US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta told American troops in Baghdad on Monday that 9/11 was the reason they were in Iraq, before he was quickly corrected by his spokesman.

"The reason you guys are here is because of 9/11. The US got attacked and 3,000 human beings got killed because of Al-Qaeda," Panetta told about 150 soldiers at the Camp Victory US base.

"We've been fighting as a result of that," he said. ...

Circumcision Debate 'Cuts' Both Ways in San Francisco

~

Male circumcision is practiced worldwide by both Jews and Muslims for religious reasons.

Circumcision would be outlawed in San Francisco if a November ballot initiative is passed, and activists on both sides are amping up the rhetoric, with some even raising the charge of anti-Semitism. Circumcision is the practice of removing the foreskin from the male penis, typically when the baby is a few days old. It is practiced both for medical reasons and for religious reasons.

The San Francisco initiative would bad circumcision on anyone under 18. Those in favor of circumcision say that it's healthier, and those against say that it's genital mutilation.

Marijuana Has No Accepted Medical Use, Our Federal Government Decrees

~

​The feds have spoken: marijuana has no legitimate medical use and will continue to be classified as a hard drug.

This decision comes nine years after medical pot advocates asked the federal government to reclassify marijuana to reflect growing evidence that it has beneficial medical properties.

DEA to medical weed advocates: "No way, hippies."

On the other hand, this isn't all bad news for the medical marijuana folks, since now they can start appealing the decision.
