A new Constitution? We can hardly handle the one we've got!
Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn has had it. The plainspoken conservative stalwart is leaving Congress at the end of the year, but he's hardly finished with politics. There's just one catch: Our only hope, he says, is a new Constitutional Convention.
Take a number and get in line, Senator.
The fantasy of a fresh constitutional start has been kicking around in earnest for years now—and despite ever-deepening frustration across the political spectrum, it's not any better an idea now than it was then.
In fact, it's a recipe for disaster. That's a painful realization for any liberty-friendly strategist, especially one who finds hope in the possibility of a working coalition of reform-minded radicals right, left, and center. The prospect of a new convention has drawn together the likes of Lawrence Lessig and Glenn Reynolds for encounters that do, importantly, build cross-partisan trust. But radicals of every stripe need to temper their zealotry by recognizing that radicalism and nationalism are a dangerous, unstable mix.
To understand why, think about what'll happen if we focus so much on the content of the Constitution that we neglect the role it serves in American life. To be sure, the Constitution we've got is hardly a perfect document. (Much like people, even really good political frameworks can't work perfectly.) On the other hand, it possesses a degree of integrity that no constitutional convention can replace: as a founding document, it's more than the sum of its parts.
What's more, however, the constitution's authority is exceedingly fragile. Polls show Americans now struggle to take our foundational institutions seriously. Last year's Wall Street Journal/NBC survey suggested that only the military boasts strong—if declining—public confidence. From a distance, it might seem that the Constitution commands respect even in today's cynical, of-the-moment culture.
Look closer, however, and I suspect a different picture will emerge. Most people are far too busy to reflect on constitutional matters. Very few people ever have the kind of personal interaction with the Constitution that they have routinely with institutions like the IRS, the auto industry, Wall Street, the press, or Congress. As a result, the Constitution's reserve of authority is like the cobwebbed pile of books grandpa still keeps in the attic. Go up there and poke around, and you'll start to wonder why nobody's thrown out the old junk.

Mom Arrested for Swearing in Front of Kids
Listen to The Daily Pulse on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – Danielle Wolf was not having a good night at the Kroger grocery store in North Augusta, SC, where she moved with her family just three weeks ago. She says her husband kept squishing the bread in their cart by putting frozen pizzas on top of it, and Wolf expressed her displeasure at the situation. That's when her night gotreally bad. A fellow shopper approached her and accused her of using the F-word in front of her kids. "I'm like, 'When did I say this to my kids?'" Wolf tells WJBF. "I said that to my husband, that he was smashing the bread." But somehow the police were called, and Wolf ended up getting arrested in the incident late Sunday.

Obama administration to recognize Utah same-sex marriages
The federal government will recognize the marriages of same-sex couples performed in Utah during a brief period in which same-sex marriages were allowed, Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday.
"I am confirming today that, for purposes of federal law, these marriages will be recognized as lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits on the same terms as other same-sex marriages," Holder said in a video statement.
On Dec. 20, federal District Judge Robert Shelby struck down Utah's ban on same-sex marriages. Monday, the Supreme Court halted new same-sex marriages pending Utah's appeal of Shelby's decision. Between Dec. 20 and Monday, hundreds of same-sex marriages were performed.
Wednesday, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert's office announced that recognition of the same-sex marriages performed during the short window would also be on hold pending the appeal.
Friday, however, the federal government said it would be recognizing them.

Shakira confirms leaving 'The Voice' after season four
Listen to Shakira on iHeartRadio
Shakira has confirmed that she won't be returning as a coach on "The Voice" next season. She tells Us Weekly she opted out of season four because she has to get back to "motherhood" and finishing the album that she started recording before giving birth in January.
But she did leave the door open for the future, adding "you never know, I might come back."
The show's host Carson Daly also confirmed reports that Christina Aguilera is back on board after taking a one-season break. Rumors that she has been in talks with NBC for a 17 million dollar deal started earlier this week.
Daly also told the magazine that he thinks the show is also working on a deal to bring back the show's fourth original judge Cee Lo Green.

Lady Gaga: 'I don't need to change my image with every single album'
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga's new album, ARTPOP, is out today, and to celebrate she stopped by Elvis Duran and the Morning Show to talk about the album, some of her recent fashion choices, singing in space and more.
Check out some of the highlights from the interview plus see photos from Lady Gaga's artRave below.
Tune in to Hits Live! on iHeartRadio TONIGHT at 9pm ET to listen to the iHeartRadio Album Release Party with Lady Gaga hosted by Ryan Seacrest and featuring performances from Mother Monster herself! Then, don't miss The iHeartRadio Album Release Party with Lady Gaga Tuesday, November 19th at 8/7c on The CW!
On ARTPOP:
"The album is about joy. The album is about me coming into my own and also really deciding for myself as an artist that I don't need to change my image with every single album... There's this incredible pressure on female artists that we have to reinvent ourselves between each record. Michael Jackson didn't reinvent himself with each album or Elton John or Whitney Houston.
"I don't want to throw my wigs away. I don't want to throw my outfits away. I want to celebrate them because these are the inventions that got me to where I am, and I want my fans to know that you really just need one good idea. This pressure that the public puts on you to have several good ideas over and over gain until you die, this is actually not reality, One good idea - if you put it into the world and it brings good things to people - this is what will last forever."
On whether she's already thinking about the next album:
"Actually, I'm not, and I don't know why. It's very strange, because usually I'm already on to the next album when the album comes out. I'm really very fascinated with this transformation inside of me that I'm feeling very happy and very confident in the work that I've created. I really love this album - I mostly love this album because it helped me lose 30 lbs. in the gym... I put a lot of hard work into it. I wrote all the songs, as I always do, and then I produced on all of the songs."
On the teeth she sported on the red carpet at the YouTube Awards last weekend:
"Well, you know I was going through something on that day. I was so aggravated that people were referring to these as grills. These are not grills. This is a bracelet made of real teeth that I put in my mouth... I love the grin of it though. In show business, they call it the 'grip-n-grin,' when you just get beaten into the ground as an artist by the corporation over and over... until at some point they're just lifting you up and you're smiling and you have that sh*t-eating grin on your face.
"ARTPOP is definitely a time that we are really excited to be putting art into the front, and that corporations will no longer drive me or my work. And that The Haus of Gaga - this is our foray into the art and technology world, and the artRave was the beginning of that."
On performing in outerspace:
"It's going to happen in 2015... It's more important to me that I'm the first to sing from a Virgin Galactic spacecraft, how exciting. Maybe there'll be some virgins up there that I can play with...
"This is an entire event and festival that's being created to take music to the beyond, and have me, the artist, singing from this spacecraft, and that will be livestreamed back to earth while there is a concert going on on Ground Zero."
Watch Mother Monster's full interview with Elvis Duran below.
Sunday night, Little Monsters invaded the Brooklyn Navy Yard for Lady Gaga's artRave. The event, which was 2 years in the making, was a celebration of ARTPOP as well as the artwork of Jeff Koons, who Gaga namechecks in the first single from the album, "Applause."
Jeff Koons, Me, Marina Abramovic! Tonight we celebrate creativity, invention & passion in honor of these art heroes. pic.twitter.com/wHkMV2MS2K— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) November 11, 2013
Gaga arrived at the venue early to unveil the sculpture of herself she commissioned from artist Jeff Koons. The sculpture of the star seated naked with a large blue sphere between her legs was photographed for the cover of ARTPOP, and went on display for the first time.
The singer also was there to present an innovative new dress that allows its wearer to hover above the ground. Gaga dreamed up the creation with the help of engineers and designers, and debuted the innovation as its model during her launch event.
As the night wore on, DJ Madeon and DJ White Shadow pumped beats throughout the spacious venue, as fans arrived and celebrated by toasting Champagne and Jameson.
After the clock struck midnight on the East coast, the room's attention was directed to the stage, where Gaga's dancers began performing. She then entered through the back of the room near her scultpure, drawing the fans toward her as she made her way to the front of the room in a futuristic white ensemble reminiscent of Ziggy Stardust.
Lady Gaga tmade her way to the the stage, where she performed music from her new album and partied with her fans until the wee hours of the morning.

San Diego 'Zombie Walk' Goes Very, Very Wrong
(NEWSER) – Hundreds of "zombies" thronged near the San Diego Comic-Con last night for "Zombie Walk," and things went terribly awry when a driver had a hard time negotiating his way through the crowd. Police say the driver got impatient and drove forward a bit while waiting for "zombies" to clear an intersection, and then the people dressed as zombies started surrounding his car. "He kept getting more and more aggravated and people barely rocked his car and he just hit the gas and boom," a witness tells 10 News—the driver allegedly hit a pedestrian. Or, as the spectator puts it, he "nailed the lady and just took off." The woman suffered a broken arm, and NBC 7 reports two more people suffered minor injuries.

Germany Creates 3rd Gender
(NEWSER) – Baby boy or baby girl? As of today, parents in Germany have the option of choosing neither, leaving the gender spot on their newborn's birth certificate blank if the baby's sex can't be determined. As many as one in 2,000 people are born with ambiguous genitalia, and the new law basically creates a third gender category for "indeterminate" or "intersex" people, the BBC reports. Currently, passport holders in the country are listed as either M (male) or F (female); with this change, a third option will be added: X (intersex). Individuals whose gender is left blank at birth can choose later to become male or female, or can remain intersex, Der Spiegel reports.

Egypt's National Security Adviser: Military Coup Underway
(Cairo) -- Troops are moving through the streets of Cairo after a deadline came and went for President Mohamed Mursi to share power. A national security adviser says a military coup is underway. The city's main square is jammed full of demonstrators. Mursi held fast yesterday, saying he would not leave office.
Meantime, U.S. oil prices are at a 14-month high above 100 dollars a barrel. There's fear that continuing unrest in Egypt could lead to a supply disruption. Egypt is the Arab world's most populous nation.

Rand Paul's Audacity of Nope: Suing Obama Over Domestic Surveillance
Rand Paul got a little wild Friday night.
Kentucky's junior senator went on national television, announced he was suing the president of the United States, suggested the Director of National Intelligence and the nation's most prolific sharer of secrets share a prison cell, and took a step closer to the Republican nomination for the president.
So while most of America was thinking TGIF, Paul went on Hannity and announced that he and about 250,000 Americans are suing President Barack Obama and the NSA over the agency's collection of data through domestic surveillance, returning to the issue arena and theatrics that caused his profile to explode less than a year ago.
Paul loves to be underestimated, and he has demonstrated that he knows when and how to maneuver while his opponents are busy counting him out.
So despite whatever scars he has from 2013's plagiarism scandal, Paul's move Friday night could well keep him in 2016 GOP frontrunner neighborhood.
And by Saturday afternoon, he had another 50,000 people signed on to his suit against Obama through his Facebook page and the RAND PAC website. And he had another 50,000 email addresses collected with two years to go before the first presidential primaries.
So after a year of highs and lows matched by few others in American politics -- Obama, Mitt Romney or Marco Rubio -- Paul told his staff that 2014 would be about a return to the issues that got him elected to Washington in 2010.
While some of that means continuing to push for lower taxes and cutting spending while waging a ceaseless and seemingly losing battle against Obamacare, the heart of Paul's plan is to make Fourth Amendment and civil liberties issues central to his year.
Those are the issues that led Paul to his brightest moments in 2013, paving the way to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada as he made more trips to early-voting states than any other potential 2016 candidate, as David Catanese pointed out on TheRun2016.com.
It has only been about nine months since Paul took a huge leap in his efforts to broaden his appeal beyond the Tea Party that sent him to Washington in the first place.
The senator's 13-hour filibuster of the confirmation of John Brennan to be CIA director last March was the catalyst. Almost overnight, Paul was leading early-state polls and talking openly about running for president.
It was a great summer for the junior senator. He was able to spread his wings and his voice became louder in the Republican Party until it seemed that he was setting the pace for Kentucky's senior senator and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a remarkable trick for a freshman.
Paul balanced expanding his national profile with solidifying support in Kentucky, a feat made marginally more difficult by his early endorsement of McConnell which rankled some dyed-in-the-wool Tea Party members who want to upend establishment GOPers.
But for about a week in late October, Paul went on an informal listening tour of the Bluegrass, making 15 stops across the commonwealth as Kentucky became to Paul what the snowy mountains of Russia were to Balboa in Rocky IV. Stop after stop, folks who crowded diners and shook Paul's hand at Rotary Club luncheons urged the senator to run for president, and he almost seemed to be a man in training.

Kurt Cobain Craigslist sale revealed as hoax
Listen to Nirvana on iHeartRadio
It turns out Kurt Cobain's old set of skis aren't actually up for sale, and neither is his Tomy video game or the phone he used to call record execs in Los Angeles.
The collection of random rock memorabilia was featured in a recent Craigslist ad posted by someone claiming to be the late Nirvana frontman's former roommate.
But now Sub Pop Records receptionist Derek Erdman has come forward to reveal that the sale was just a hoax he created while he was "supposed to be working on something else" last week.
He tells "Revolt" that he doesn't actually possess any of the stuff he was pretending to sell, explaining that he just dug up a few photos on the Internet to add to the fake Craigslist post.
Erdman says he got calls from "serious collectors," and even attracted the attention of a TV news crew. But he says the reporters didn't buy his story after he was unable to provide an ID for the fake identity he was using.
Erdman was previously involved in another Nirvana stunt. He helped put together the spoof video Sub Pop put out in response to a misguided fan who wrote to the label asking Cobain and the rest of Nirvana to record a video message for the Virginia Tech football team.

Source: A-Rod Could Be Looking at Lifetime Ban
(NEWSER) – After Ryan Braun received a suspension for his involvement in the Biogenesis clinic PED scandal, things are looking bleak for Yankee Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod's punishment could be far worse than Braun's, according to CBS New York: A baseball insider says he may face a lifetime ban. Indeed, sources tell ESPN the evidence against Rodriguez is "far beyond" what was in the Braun file. The third baseman is reportedly "trying to make a deal" with Major League Baseball officials, a source tells ESPN, which notes the Yankee could face more trouble because the MLB thinks he interfered with the investigation.

Azealia Banks accuses Lady Gaga of stealing song title
Listen to Azealia Banks on iHeartRadio | Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Azealia Banks hasn't finished her feud with Lady Gaga.
The rapper has sent another tweet the superstar's way, this time accusing her of ripping off a song title.
Apparently Azealia has a bone to pick with a song called "Red Flame," which she claims is on Gaga's upcoming ARTPOP album. She told Gaga:
@ladygaga make sure u let them know where u got the title for red flame from. U stole that from the demo I sent u.— HOUSE PRINCESSA 1 (@AZEALIABANKS) September 17, 2013
Azealia said she would take the high road, adding:
Life is great. You can have it. Plenty more where that came from.— HOUSE PRINCESSA 1 (@AZEALIABANKS) September 17, 2013
Seriously. . . This one is free. Next time I'm charging.— HOUSE PRINCESSA 1 (@AZEALIABANKS) September 17, 2013
Azealia's claims do confirm earlier reports that Gaga was considering a collaboration. The "Applause" singer has yet to acknowledge the rapper's tweets.
Earlier this month however, she was caught on tape telling fans on "Good Morning America" that Azealia had "a bad attitude."

The Nature of the Beast: The Breathless Press and the Phony IRS 'Scandal'
The IRS "scandal," lately dormant, is returning soon to a cable-news channel near you: tomorrow, Russell George, the Treasury Department inspector general who produced the original report at Darrell Issa's request, is going back before Issa's committee, and this time he's in for some pretty serious grilling from Democrats. The evidence is now even more preponderant than it already was that there was absolutely no political agenda in the IRS's review of 501(c)(4) applications. In fact, evidence is mounting that if anyone was behaving politically here, it was George—and, of course, Issa and the other Republicans who launched into their baseless tirades about "enemies lists" and other such nonsense.
Here's what has happened while you were watching the Zimmerman trial or the immigration debate. Last Friday, Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat on Issa's oversight committee, sent Issa a letter asking that he recall George. Here are three examples of things Cummings's investigators turned up about which they might like to hear George's answers:
First, George apparently failed to disclose to the committee an interaction with his top investigator, who reviewed (at George's request) some 5,500 emails from IRS employees. The investigator determined after his review that there was "no indication that pulling these selected applications was politically motivated." They were singled out for review because the IRS employees weren't sure how to process them. The investigator shared this finding with George, so evidently he knew about it. One might have thought that this would have been a relevant fact for George to share with the committee. But he did not.
Second, it has been George's position that the word "progressive" was never used as a search criterion by IRS workers, a position that lent credence to the idea that only conservative applicants were targeted. But Cummings's staff has now unearthed a Power Point presentation that was created for an IRS "workshop" meeting in July 2010 on how to handle sensitive cases. The second page of the Power Point is headlined "Politics" and features two photographs—an elephant anda donkey. Get it? Then, page three has the words "Tea Party"; page four, the words "Patriots" and "9/12 Project" (two more names that would indicate conservative affiliation); page five, the word "Progressive." George had written to committee Democrat Sander Levin denying that "Progressive" was used as a screening term in 2010. But it clearly was.
Third, George said that "Occupy" as a screening term was used only on a spreadsheet labeled "Historical," suggesting that Occupy Wall Street–related groups weren't scrutinized. But Cummings's staff found a document showing (scroll all the way to the bottom) that "Occupy" groups were on a "Watch List" in January 2012 and were to be referred to the same IRS group that was handling the "Tea Party" cases. George didn't tell the committee any of this, either.
There's more. The committee has now conducted 15 interviews with IRS employees. Six of these people said they were Republican or had voted Republican, six claimed no political affiliation, and three said they were Democrats. All have shot down the idea that there was any political bias at the IRS, and all have said they had no knowledge or evidence of any White House involvement. One of the Republicans, asked about those angles, said: "No, not at all. That's kind of laughable that people think that. No, not at all. This is purely cases that, unfortunately, Cincinnati didn't have enough guidance on. That (c)(4) area is a very, very difficult area, and there's not much guidance. And so the lingering length of time, unfortunately, was just trying to apply the law to the specific facts of each case.

7 VMA Moments Everyone Is Talking About
(NEWSER) – Pole dance? That's so 2009. Miley Cyrus outdid herself at the MTV Video Music Awards last night with a twerking performance that left the audience feeling violated. (Australia's News Network has a must-see picture of the reaction from Will Smith and his family.)
[Click here to see more photos from the show!]
Cyrus started out wearing practically nothing, then managed to find a way to strip down even further from that. She spent much of the performance with her tongue sticking out and, when Robin Thicke took the stage for a duet, she added a foam finger that, of course, she used rather suggestively. "Raise your hand if you feel personally victimized by Miley Cyrus' VMA performance," reads one representative tweet. (If you can't handle actually watching the video, click for some GIFs that sum it up.) More big talkers from last night's awards:
- Taylor Swift could not let an opportunity to publicly shame ex Harry Styles pass her by, the Daily Mail reports. Upon winning Best Female Video for "I Knew You Were Trouble," reportedly inspired by her relationship with the One Direction boy bander, Swift ended her acceptance speech with, "I also want to thank the person who inspired this song, who knows exactly who he is, because now I've got one of these!" The camera, of course, then panned to Styles. Earlier, when One Direction presented an award, Swift was captured appearing to mouth the words, "Shut the f--- up."
- As promised, *NSYNC reunited ... for 90 seconds, which came in the middle of Justin Timberlake's epic 15-minute performance, Rolling Stone reports. Timberlake won the big Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award, and said he wanted to "share" it with his former bandmates ... but "we can keep it at my house," he added.

Adam Lambert joining next season of "Glee"
Listen to Adam Lambert on iHeartRadio
Adam Lambert is headed to McKinley High. Ryan Murphy, show runner of "Glee," has announced that the "American Idol" alum will be joining the show's next season.
On Wednesday, Murphy tweeted that he was "thrilled" to have the "super talented" glam rocker as a part of "the cast of 'Glee' this fall."
I am thrilled to announce that the super talented Adam Lambert is joining the cast of Glee this fall.— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) July 11, 2013
It is unclear in what capacity Lambert will be joining the Fox musical comedy, as the network has yet to announce whether it will be in a regular, recurring or guest spot role.
Last season, "Glee" brought on season eleven "Idol" runner-up Jessica Sanchez in a recurring role. Other major guest stars included Kate Hudson and Sarah Jessica Parker, who were part of story lines connected with the show's stars Lea Michele and Chris Colfer in their post-high school New York City lives. Season five premieres September 19th on Fox.

Tim Tebow's NFL career might be nearing an end after riding the bench last night
Tim Tebow's wild voyage from Heisman winner to folk hero to backup appears as if it could end with him cleaning out his NFL locker very soon.
Tebow stood on the sidelines of New England's 40-9 loss against the Detroit Lions on Thursday, and never entered the game. Fans in Ford Field were chanting "We want Tebow" in the fourth quarter of that loss, but Patriots coach Bill Belichick was not in agreement.
However, Tebow did not complain about Belichick's decision after the game.
"I'm a blessed individual," Tebow told The Boston Globe. "Happy to be here, and whatever I'm asked to do, I'm going to do."
Unless Tebow has a remarkable showing in the fourth and final preseason game, he might be soon asked to turn in his playbook.
Tebow has played poorly this preseason. He has completed only 5-of-19 passes (26.3 percent) for 54 yards, one interception and no touchdowns. The former first-round draft pick might have sealed his fate when he competed only 1-of-7 passes for -1 yards and one interception against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 of the preseason.
"You just prepare, and what you are asked to do, you do it 100 percent with everything you have," he said. "You want everything to go well, but it's not. There are going to be ups and downs. That's what life is, and you've just got to handle them as best as you possibly can."
Tebow may have to practice what he preaches if his lack of playing time yesterday is any indication of his NFL future.

Lorde, Justin Bieber make 'Time' list of 16 Most Influential Teens
Listen to Lorde on iHeartRadio | Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Lorde has made Time's annual list of 2013's "16 "Most Influential Teens." The 17-year-old is being praised by the magazine for "forging her own path" and rocketing to "international fame" in the span of a year.
As a testament to her songwriting talent, it also mentions how New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio used her hit "Royals" to walk onto the stage when he won his election. The song is currently spending its seventh straight week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Lorde is the only musician on the list apart from Justin Bieber, who Time refers to as "an industry to himself" with a value of 58-million dollars.
Tech prodigy Nick D'Aloisio, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Malala Yousafzai, Malia Obama and actresses Chloe Grace Moretz and Hailee Steinfeld all made the list as well.
Check out the full list HERE.
