Members of the Westboro Baptist Church typically hate everything and everyone: "f@gs," Joan Rivers (RIP), dead soldiers, bomb victims, the space shuttle Challenger, etc. But when it comes to the iPhone 6, they're just as guilty of fanboyism as the sinners they condemn. The fringe Christian group is in New York right now preaching God's love of hate and picketing media outlets, so it seemed like a perfect time to reach out and see what they think of Apple's latest gadget release. Their new leader Steve Drain explained WBC's position on the highly talked about smart phone in a brief email to ANIMAL:

The iPhone 6 will allow us to preach to this sinful nation more effectively than the 5s! Bigger screen to see our signs more clearly - like `Repent or Perish' or `F@g Marriage Dooms Nations'! More people will mock our using of the phone, citing (incorrectly) a hypocrisy in using a device designed and marketed by a man whose funeral we picketed for his idolatry, then atheism, and adultery (Steve Jobs). Which device do you think our `Why Did God Destroy Sodom?' will display best on? iPhone6, Galaxy 5, or HTC? I bet the preaching will be effective, by God's hand, as viewed in all of them - don't you think?

For instance, General (ret) Zinni has been all over the teevee calling for ground troop deployment in the thousands (or sometimes called advisers, boots and bootless); General (ret) Keane another frequent teevee flyer runs a "think tank," Institute for Study of War, which he oversees with William Kristol (who, if there was a prize for errors and misjudgments would hold the Nobel) and Liz Cheney (who is, well, Liz Cheney).  

Not if you're the scum bag, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp.

On Tuesday, Kemp--a Republican--said his office was investigating allegations of voter fraud from the New Georgia Project, following complaints about voter applications submitted by the group.

Wonderful.

Plus, more details on the fight.

Citing anonymous sources, Coyne claimed the fight began when Track Palin confronted his younger sister Willow's former boyfriend, Conner Cleary. A fight broke out and Cleary's father tried to break it up, she wrote. Todd Palin jumped into the fight and began choking the father.

Host Korey Klingenmeyer then told the family to leave the party, Thompson told Coyne. That's when Bristol Palin hit the host, Thompson said.

"Bristol just reached back and started clocking him," Thompson told "Good Morning America," saying the eldest Palin daughter struck Klingenmeyer at least six times.

So now that the trial is over it comes out.

I found it moving and I'm wondering if anyone else here would too.

Can we please get some college football polls with voters that aren't bandwagon-hopping fanboys who value name recognition and program pedigree over actual team performance?

The same fanboys -- who obviously loves them some Trojans -- saw fit to drop current No. 12 UCLA four spots and out of the Top Ten after a closer-than-expected 28-20 road win at Virginia the first week of the season -- a victory that now looks a whole lot better after the Cavaliers upset No. 21 Louisville, 23-21.

Today, after losing Heisman hopeful QB Jerry Hundley to an elbow injury in the first quarter, UCLA coach Jim Mora was forced to insert senior reserve QB Jerry Neuheisel -- his predecessor's son -- into the game against Texas.

After a workmanlike performance through the first three quarters, Neuheisel caught fire late, throwing two TD passes to lead the Bruins to a 20-17 come-from-behind victory over the Longhorns. For his efforts, he was carried off the field on the shoulders of his ecstatic teammates.

UCLA's offense definitely needs some work, but after three games, the Bruin defense is arguably the fiercest in the Pac-12. If that offense starts clicking, look out.

The proposal to divide California into six states failed to make it onto the 2016 ballot, California's secretary of state office said Friday.

The measure required about 807,000 signatures to quality, and despite proponents turning in more than 1 million signatures earlier this summer, a random sample conducted by counties found that not enough signatures were valid to meet the threshold to qualify.

Venture capitalist Tim Draper, the billionaire behind the proposal, spent $5.2 million to try to get the proposal on the ballot while opponents spent $10,000.

This is a good point-

Historian Geoffrey Ward told CBS News on Sunday that Franklin D. Roosevelt would have difficulty running for president with a disability like polio today because Fox News would have "loved" to show him "at his most helpless."

During a panel discussion about the PBS documentary "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History," CBS host Bob Schieffer noted that Roosevelt could have never hidden his inability to walk from the public today.

"Hopefully, the public today would be much more understanding and glad to have somebody that had overcome this kind of problem," historian Doris Kearns Goodwin agreed.

"I differ with Doris a little," Ward said. "I think if he were running now, sadly, I think TV crews would compete with each other to see who could get the footage that showed him at his most helpless. He had to be carried in and out of buildings. He had to be helped to remove his braces and so on."

"And I think Fox News would have loved that," he pointed out.

CBS Sports has announced it won't air a controversial 30-second commercial because it took on a "political nature" for featuring a young girl reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

Washington state real estate broker Dave Retter, of the Horse Heaven Round-Up, created the ad to run during CBS's broadcast of the Wrangler Champions Challenge rodeo, Tri-City Herald reported. In it, Retter's 4-year-old granddaughter recites the pledge.

Dr. Misee Harris, who also was the Black Bachelorette, just found herself in an impossible situation after posting support for Ferguson and Mike Brown's family on her private Facebook page. Dr. Harris was given a choice to resign or shut up. Here's the story:

On Thursday, September 4th, Dr. Misee Harris (the Black Bachelorette) was called into an unannounced meeting at the dental practice where she has worked as a Pediatric Dentist and was recently offered a partnership in the practice. Dr. Harris, the sole African American dentist in the practice, has worked tirelessly with underprivileged young patients on Medicaid to ensure their smiles remain healthy, and the quality of Dr. Harris's work has never been called into question. Once in the meeting, Dr. Harris was ambushed and presented with screenshots from her private Facebook page. Being that Misee had blocked work colleagues from accessing her account, it was explained to Misee that a doctor who is a partner at the office, and who led the meeting, had been having a friend spy on Misee's Facebook page. Screenshots were taken of Misee's Facebook posts and were sent to the doctor who led the meeting. Misee was then told that some of her Facebook posts about recent racial issues in America were "unprofessional." The biggest bone of contention to the partners was a cartoon (see graphic below) related to the recent police murders of several innocent African-Americans across the nation. The partner held up the picture and asked Misee "Do you think we (meaning Misee's white colleagues) are all like this?"
