    I am not sure which is worse, the Florida transexual funding his/her son’s Democrat race in the House, Stacy’s “Stuff You Can’t Make Up” post about a women fertilizing veggies with period blood, or the possibility of Justin Bieber sleeping with Miranda Kerr.

    #3 is easily the least disgusting of the three since no rational person would believe that Miranda Kerr would be so lacking in taste as to bed Justin Bieber.
