    That usmagazine.com url about Courtney Stodden was completely useless.  What’s the point of having an article about someone being harassed by Facebook for having pictures up that are ‘too sexy’ without SHOWING us the pictures?  C’mon now.

    We report, you deride. 😉
    Seriously, I’m sure someone will have those pics up by the time Rule 5 Sunday rolls around.

    Heh.  I’m in no way denigrating your fine work; I just have a minor pet peeve regarding articles like that where a picture would be worth more than all the words written about it.

    In any case, if you put ‘Courtney Stodden facebook’ into Google Images, the presumed pictures in question come up, showing her doing her best Pamela Anderson on Baywatch impersonation (except better).

    About this assassination plot.  I’m not buying it. But someone needs to ask AG Holder if he knows about it.
