Hot Air’s Green Room & Sarah Palin’s Atheist Bikini
Ed Morrissey announced a terrific new development yesterday: the Hot Air Green Room. AP and Ed select specific commenters / bloggers who are allowed to write blogposts for the Green Room. It is a bit like Red State (or Daily Kos), with the difference that Hot Air’s Green Room is kept pretty exclusive and (therefore) high quality.
One of the posts published shortly after the Green Room was opened to the public is written by Robert Stacey McCain (or “the other McCain”). Its title: “Sarah Palin’s atheist bikini.”
Allahpundit’s been using atheism and Sarah Palin as traffic generators, and I’m the guy that pulled 250K visits in September by titling a post “Sarah Palin bikini pics,” so why not try to start out with 
a bang?
Quite right. Why not? Well, sadly we do not have any photos of Palin in an atheist bikini, but we do have this:
The Vermont Legislature is considering a bill that would legalize so-called “sexting” between teenagers.
Sexting refers to the exchange of explicit photos and videos via mobile phone. Under current laws, participants can be charged with child pornography, but lawmakers are considering a bill to legalize the consensual exchange of graphic images between two people 13 to 18 years old. Passing along such images to others would remain a crime.
Supporters told The Burlington Free Press they don’t want to condone the behavior but they don’t think teenagers should be prosecuted as sex offenders for consensual conduct.
Outlawing “sexting.” It’s the new alcohol, but then for kids and on a cell phone!
