Blake Shelton -- Westboro Baptist Church Can BLOW ME


Blake Shelton
Westboro Baptist Church Can BLOW ME!



Exclusive

Blake Shelton exercised his oral skills on his way out of a West Hollywood nightclub, urging the Westboro Baptist Church to wrap its head around his.

Blake was clearly tipsy as he left Usher's birthday bash at Bootsy Bellows nightclub ... but he was lucid enough to go after the hateful group that has urged a boycott of his concerts -- repeatedly saying the "Church" could "BLOW ME."

Members of the cretin org have beef with Blake, because he supports gay rights -- tweeting about his recent song, "Ya the boys 'round here think it's ok to be queer."  They're also attacking Blake for having an affair with Miranda Lambert while he was still married.

Good thing to know Blake practices safe sex ... hate is not an STD.

Stocks slip as debt talks drag on in Washington

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are heading lower as lawmakers continue to work on a deal to avoid a U.S. default and reopen the government.


The Dow Jones industrial average fell 39 points, or 0.3 percent, to 15,261 as of noon Tuesday.


The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down three points, or 0.2 percent, at 1,707. The Nasdaq composite index fell four, or 0.1 percent, to 3,809.


The U.S. is expected to reach its borrowing limit on Thursday, jeopardizing its ability to pay its bills. Meanwhile a partial shutdown of the federal government is in its 15th day.


Eight of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 fell, with the biggest declines in utilities and consumer discretionary stocks, a category that includes retailers.


Stocks were mostly higher in Europe.

When the Next Flu Pandemic Hits, Keep Your Smartphone to Yourself

When the Next Flu Pandemic Hits, Keep Your Smartphone to Yourself

At the end of World War I, tens of millions of people died in just a few short years. But these deaths had nothing to do with the bullets and bayonets that had taken so many lives in battle. It was, instead, the Spanish Flu, which killed off about 5% of the world's population from 1918 until 1920. Were a similar pandemic to hit today, one of the things we'd need to rethink is how we use our phones.

Ted Cruz on his ‘arguing boots’ and (not) carrying a tune


Maybe it’s no surprise that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, likes to wear his black ostrich “arguing boots” around Washington. That’s one of the things readers learn in People magazine’s gentle profile of the conservative who may have done more than anyone in Congress to force a government shutdown.


More surprising? He’s been in not one but two productions of “The Sound of Music.” First in seventh grade, as conflicted Nazi youth member Rolfe. Then in high school, as Max Detweiler, who gets the von Trapps to perform at the Salzburg Music Festival, effectively paving the way for the family’s escape.


“Rolfe was really terrible,” Cruz told People. “I cannot carry a tune to save my life."


The profile, on newsstands Friday, softens the sometimes hard edges of a senator who is often the target of sharp (and anonymous) criticism from his fellow congressional Republicans. It’s the kind of rehabilitation he’ll find useful if inside-the-Beltway rumors are true and he’s thinking about running for president.


He said he saw “The Butler” and found it “delightful.”


With most Washington museums and monuments closed because of the shutdown, the Cruz family headed to privately run Mount Vernon, where they “picked a whole bunch of apples and had a lot of fun," Cruz said.


And “he never misses date night,” his wife, Heidi, tells the magazine.


"Date night"? That was also a feature of rowdy Republican Gov. (and potential 2016 candidate) Chris Christie's People profile in late May.
