A Florida man allegedly fed his 2-month-old daughter bleach because he thought it could help cure her congestion.

"This would probably be the dumbest decision I ever made in my life, and I regret it 110 percent," 20-year-old Carron Washington told WESH-2 News.

At a press conference Monday, Washington said the girl suffers from chronic breathing difficulties, the Gainesville Sun reported. He said a friend from the College of Central Florida recommended the bleach treatment, saying that she had used it on her own child.

Huffington Post: 'Friends Of Hamas' Origin Story Exposes Fact That Some People Are Dumb Enough To Fall For Anything

Posted: 20 Feb 2013 08:10 AM PST

Last week, we made note of the way the hearings on Chuck Hagel as the next secretary of Defense -- both within and outside the Senate chambers -- had reached an apotheosis of weird, with the discussion now basically centered on how it would be really bad for Hagel if any of the odd rumors about stuff he'd allegedly said or money he'd allegedly received turned out to be true.

Like, what if Hagel said that "the State Department has become adjunct to the Israeli Foreign Minister's office?" And what if we all pretended that "adjunct to" meant "under the control of?" And what's this I hear about Iran "endorsing" Hagel? Isn't that a bad thing? Shouldn't we assume that is sincere, and not just some functionary in Iran, trying to bait a bunch of simpleton lawmakers?

One of the more fun rumors of this variety was that Chuck Hagel had received some money from an organization called "Friends of Hamas," a rumor which, if true, required a number of vastly strange things to happen. For instance, a bunch of guys who were "friends" of "Hamas" would have to be stupid enough to name their Hamas-supporting organization, "Friends of Hamas." Those people would then have to be stupid enough to give Hagel some money, for some reason. And then Hagel would have to be stupid enough to accept that money. And then a whole industry of agencies dedicated to elucidating the connections between political figures and the special interests that bankroll them would have to be stupid enough to not notice.

Huffington Post: Minnesota Marriage Equality: Branden Petersen, GOP Lawmaker, Prepares To Cosponsor Legislation

Posted: 20 Feb 2013 08:11 AM PST

The drive to legalize same-sex marriage in Minnesota has received a boost, as a Republican state senator prepares to cross party lines and join the effort.

"At this point, I am concerned about doing the right thing," state Sen. Branden Petersen (R) told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "I have a certain amount of peace about that, and I will let the chips fall where they may."

If Petersen signs on to the same-sex marriage bill expected to be introduced this week, he would be the first Republican lawmaker to do so. His cosponsorship would be especially significant because he was among a majority of GOP legislators who put a constitutional amendment on the November 2012 ballot that would have banned marriage equality in Minnesota. Voters defeated the measure.
