Nude TSA Protester Disrobes For Justice

Turn the other cheek. This is John E. Brennan, and he converts airport screenings into acts of civil disobedience by putting the “body” back into “full body search.” Here he is yesterday at the Portland International Airport. Because of course this was in Portland.

5-Year-Old Has a Cooking Show

Five-year-old Julian Kreusser has his own cooking show in Portland called The Big Kitchen with Food, which is the last piece of proof I needed that my culinary skills are worse than a First Grader’s.
