Ahhhh, Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson—the gift that keeps on shitting in your mouth and calling it a "GAY SANDWICH," because it doesn't have a real clear understanding of what gay people do, it just knows that they make it feel grumpy in its downstairs (um...did you keep that gift receipt?). Hot on the heels of "gay men were sent by the devil to tempt us all with their magnificent anuses" and "picking cotton was so fun, black people just COULDN'T STOP SINGING" comes Phil's latest greatest hit: If you want a subservient Biblical wife-slave, make sure you marry her when she's still an impressionable and terrified 15-year-old child. #ROMANCE A video of Phil speaking at a 2009 "Sportsmen's Ministry" event (guuuuuuuhhhhhh) reveals some appalling (though not particularly surprising) thoughts on courtship and compatibility.

SHANGHAI -- The Chinese government is pushing for a drastic shakeout of the country's overcrowded solar cell industry, supporting only a quarter of players and practically telling the rest to get out of the business.   The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced a list of 134 producers of silicon materials, solar panels and other components of photovoltaic systems as meeting certain conditions, as measured by 2012 production, capacity utilization and technical standards. In a sector said to have more than 500 companies, the ministry's move means that three-quarters didn't make the cut -- including the core subsidiary of Suntech Power, which went bankrupt in March, and Jiangsu Shungfeng Photovoltaic Technology, Suntech's startup rescuer. These firms will not be able to get credit lines from financial institutions and thus will have a tough time borrowing, according to industry insiders. They will also no longer be eligible for refunds

Q gets unlimited Wi-Fi in her trailer. She gets veto power on any bloopers before they're released When Q promotes the flick ... they have to give her 3 dresses from which to choose and she gets t

American conservatives love, love, love Israel. They also hate, hate, hate abortion and socialized medicine. American conservatives face one hell of a moral conundrum in the new year. Via Ha'aretz: Israel will pay for abortions for women aged 20 to 33 regardless of circumstance starting next year, health officials said Monday, adding that they hope to make eligibility for state funding universal in the future.... The new rule opens it up for 6,300 more women to have a state-funded abortion next year, at a cost of about 16 million shekels ($4.6 million). The cost of all state-subsidized abortions is estimated at 24 million shekels a year. Officials ultimately aim to fund all abortions as part of the Jewish state's publicly subsidized "health basket" for citizens, as well as offering full contraceptive coverage—but for now, they'll stand pat on this plan to bankroll abortions for young women, Ha'aretz reports.
