Bill Donohue and his underlings at Catholic League are fired up over some of the Democratic Party's preferred blogs.

One hundred and twenty blogs have been credentialed to cover the party's Convention in Denver next week. While Donohue approves of some, he's vehemently opposed to others, including gay blog Towleroad:

Towleroad describes itself as 'A Site with Homosexual Tendencies.' Accordingly, it shows men in jock straps and underwear. It also has a post on Pope Benedict XVI that takes him to task for wearing a cape with ermine. Some of those who commented on this described the pope in a vile and profane way.

[This blog and Bitch Ph.D.] should be cut immediately from the list of credentialed sites. Neither functions as a responsible media outlet and both offend Catholics, as well as others. To allow them access to the Democratic National Convention sends a message to Catholics they will not forget.

Donohue then demands DNC Chief of Staff and Convention CEO Leah Daughtry banish the bloggers from the Democratic land. As if that's going to happen.

Remember when we told you about how Poland's state television cut a scene from British comedy, Little Britain?

Well, Andy Towle over at Towleroad also picked up the story and succeeded where we failed: he found the censored video. And now we're passing it on to you. Everyone send him a thank you note!

Towle seems to think it's not safe for work, which it may be if your work objects to old ladies asking if butt plugs come with batteries. Luckily, our doesn't. In fact, our boss man encourages such probing inquiries. Get it?

We don't know what methods of sluttery they had to employ, but our friends over at Towleroad snagged some pics from Australian fag rag DNA's swimwear special issue.

What the fuck's Mark Latham talking about? These are some fine male specimens.

It's the afternoon and we imagine you need a little perking up, so to speak, so troll on over there and take a peek. One note: we've never looked, nor shall we ever look so good in a swimsuit. Those Aussie bastards!
