Are you about to be banned from using your fireplace in the Bay Area? Here’s the next best thing, and it’s portable!

That is a bold statement: “[N]o one has ever really come up with a persuasive rejoinder to the claim that a warm-blooded, pain-feeling creature’s life shouldn’t be taken for your supper.”

I really like Tumblr, but they need to quit messing with a good thing. Since their recent upgrade my updates to “this is the girl” show up out of order.

Bill Hobbs: “Republicans historically do well when security issues are big on voters’ minds.” Translation: “Our side wins when we’ve scared the shit out of most everyone. Terror Alert Rising!”

Police use of Tasers to subdue suspects can rise to the level of torture, according to Amnesty International USA’s executive director, Larry Cox, whose organization is calling for a moratorium on the electroshock devices.

If they were lied to, that is a different story. Otherwise, I agree with Dick Cheney. (And I just died from shock.)

I’ll admit it. I never liked the Suicide Girls. I never liked the models or the layout or the way it promoted itself as a woman-friendly porn shop. Now, don’t get me wrong: I don’t have a problem with pin-ups or pornography. Not one bit. But, for whatever reason, I was always leery of the beloved Suicide Girls with their nose piercings and tougher-than-thou fuck me faces. I just got an icky bad vibe from the enterprise, and now I see my girlie sixth sense was tingling for a reason. The Better Business Bureau has given the “girl power” group a rating of F:

We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.

As many as 30 former-SG models have come out to claim that, “[SG’s] embrace of the tattoo and nipple-ring set hides a world of exploitation and male domination.” Now the BBB is piling on, and it looks like the criticism is well deserved.

So guys, if you like your porn pretties pierced, surely you can find an alternative to this punk porn site in this day and age. However, if you subscribed to SG to help empower the young ladies who make up its galleries, then good on you for the best of intentions. Now you can feel free to get any kind of exploitative spank material you wish. I hear some of the non-SG online ladies even have the normal number of holes.

Bush to welcome Gore at the White House: That should be a chilly reception. (To be a fly…)
