Texas a close second to Florida for dumb. Deep fried butter hit of State Fair.

Go for the churn: Fried butter a hit at State Fair of Texas The same genius who invented deep fried cookie dough, deep fried coke and other innovative fair foods is at it again. This time, Abel Gonzales Jr., is bringing you the ultimate in artery clogging death foods -deep fried butter. This one actually manages to put chicken fried bacon and bacon sandwiches using chicken for bread to shame.

So here’s what Gonzales does: He takes 100 percent pure butter, whips it until it is light and fluffy, freezes it, then surrounds it with dough. The butter-laden dough balls are then dropped into the deep fryer.For purists who just want the unadulterated taste of butter, Gonzales serves up plain-butter versions of his creation. For others who want a little more pizzazz, he offers three additional versions with flavored butters: garlic, grape or cherry.

Tasters seemed to like it, claiming it tastes like a hot roll with butter.

Mackenzie Phillips Says She Had Sexual Relationship With Papa John

Thanks a lot for ruining Mammas and Pappas music for me John. Not to mention One Day at a Time.

Phillips says she had sex with her father the night before she was to marry Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage, in 1979, according to People.com.

“On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it,” writes Phillips, who was 19 at the time and a heavy drug user, according to People.com. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed.”

Phillips, best known as Julie Cooper on the sitcom “One Day at a Time,” says the sexual relationship became consensual as her life began to spiral out of control.

“I was a fragment of a person, and my secret isolated me,” she writes, according to People.com. “One night Dad said, ‘We could just run away to a country where no one would look down on us. There are countries where this is an accepted practice. Maybe Fiji.’ ”

“Are you ready to see Hugo Boss dress up some Nazis?”

Basterds Celebrates NYC Premiere with Nazi-Outfitting Sponsor Hugo BossQuentin Tarantino was in top form on Monday night, introducing the New York premiere of Inglourious Basterds with the rousing battle cry, “Are you ready to see some Basterds fuck up some Nazis? Yeah, motherfucker!” What didn’t follow were grateful thanks to the event’s co-sponsor, with Tarantino asking, “Are you ready to see Hugo Boss dress up some Nazis?” That unfortunate historical reality was probably not what he or Harvey Weinstein bargained for, but that’s the one they got.

A simple bit of due diligence via Google likely would have illuminated the connection, which began with Boss’s joining the Nazi Party in 1931 and continued with his factory’s uniform manufacturing throughout the decade and into World War II. Boss employed forced labor from Poland and France during the war itself; he died in 1948, and his company’s complicity with the Nazi regime was first reported in 1997.

No on can say the Nazis didn’t have a sense of style.

Torture First, Justify Afterwards

By Jason Leopold

The Bush administration gave its initial clearance for CIA interrogators to brutalize an al-Qaeda “high-value detainee” through verbal guidance and didn’t follow up with a formal legal opinion until “months later,” the CIA’s former inspector general said. n an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel, ex-CIA Inspector General John Helgerson confirmed what has long been suspected, that the abusive interrogation of al-Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah in 2002 began well before the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel cobbled together a controversial legal opinion justifying acts that are commonly regarded as torture.

Der Spiegel’s reporter posed a question to Helgerson that assumed Zubaydah’s torturous interrogation had predated the Aug. 1, 2002, legal memo from OLC attorneys John Yoo and Jay Bybee. “Did the lawyer who signed the memorandum simply authorize a technique months after this technique had already been applied?” reporter Britta Sandberg asked Helgerson.

Thanks you little fuckers

But not many get the bill at the end of it with a message describing their offspring as a ‘little f*****’.

Porn, Glenn Beck and Nudie Pics: Is Our Mass Culture Turning Kids Into Sex Crazed, Right-Wing Automatons?

Kids today are exposed to vast amounts of sleazy, pornified media at the same time that they are hammered with silly puritanism. The future doesn’t look good.Following in the footsteps of fellow zygote-ian twits Vanessa Hudgens and Rihanna, the most recent set of nudie pics leaked to the internets belong to tadpole Ashley Greene of “Twilight” fame.

Apparently she’s someone I should be aware of. I’ve actually never seen “Twilight,” but soon after ogling Greene’s nubile young body I frantically placed it at the top of my Netflix Queue. I admit I felt a bit grubby slobbering over the photos, but what the hell, I’m no monument to morality! Besides, is it my fault that she was careless enough to let her private intimate bits turn into public internet hits?

I dare say not.
