So, the president gave a “speech” on the Syria airstrikes Tuesday morning. Then this happened.

Backlit ears aren't a good look.

Aching sides!

Perhaps there was a good reason and it was meant to symbolize something, though:

@exjon transparency.

‘Vomitous!’: Alison Grimes’ latest pro-gun photo still misfires

http://twitter.com/#!/DelGirlsHoops/status/486226401906159617
In a previous attempt to appear friendly to the Second Amendment, Kentucky Secretary of State and candidate for Senate Alison Grimes posted a photo of herself target shooting — although without any eye or ear protection.

Apparently unwilling to repeat that gaffe, Grimes has found another photo in which she’s properly equipped to shoot a firearm, juxtaposed with a pic of Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell preparing to present an antique rifle to the retiring Sen. Tom Coburn at CPAC.

The eye and ear protection might be in place, but that doesn’t mean the new ad won’t backfire.

An Astronaut Gave An Out-Of-This-World Tribute To Leonard Nimoy

                                            <b>Live long and prosper.</b>                                                           

Star Trek fans are still in mourning for Leonard Nimoy, the actor famous for his role as Spock, who died on Friday at the age of 83.

Fans, both famous and otherwise, have been using the gesture to pay tribute to Nimoy.

In a fitting extraterrestrial tribute to the late star, NASA Astronaut Terry Virts has tweeted a picture of the Vulcan gesture from the International Space Station, looking down at Nimoy’s birthplace of Boston.

It’s enough to make even Spock a little bit emotional.
