- Oh no, students having harmless fun. Let's arrest them and charge them with stuff. Good idea.
- An 81 year old man faces up to 90 days in jail for being a good Samaritan. You read it here first, folks.
- Man slashing random tires thinks that it's the fault of his mom, radiation, braces, Elvis, and space aliens. Because he's a fucking nutjob.
- LA allows couple to keep 10 goats and some other animals on their property. WATCH OUT AMERICA -- NEXT THEY'LL BE ALLOWED TO MARRY THEM. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CHILDREN?
- Gay community continues to fight the California ruling against gay marriage. This Canadian supporter lends moral support and strength through angry blogging.
- Girl in Siberia raised by wolves. No, really. Well, cousins of wolves -- the girl was locked in an apartment with cats and dogs. She adopted animal behavior and had never been outside. Motherhood award of the year!
- Oh, for the gods' sakes: HEY DID YOU KNOW SLUT SHAMING WILL MAKE WOMEN HAPPIER NO REALLY I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I AM A CONSERVATIVE WHITE MAN.
- The Taliban's war continues to wage in Pakistan and hundreds of civilians are dying. I feel absolutely comfortable saying I want the US military to leave Afghanistan and go into Pakistan and kill every single member of the scum-sucking shit-head fundamentalist bastard Taliban in incredibly slow and painful ways.
- 12-year-old had lighter in backpack at airport and was beaten with sticks. To quote the article: "Police: boy had incendiary device at airport" followed by "Authorities didn't identify the youngster or say if it was a boy or a girl." LOLJOURNALISMFAIL.
- Zookeeper leaves door to exhibit open, big cat goes on a 150 feet stroll, gets shot in the head.

Moving on -- here are a couple of feminist-themed tidbits, one bad, one good.
- I can't put this nicely, so I'll just say it how I see it. Twisty Faster is a fucking nutjob and, incidentally, a very good example of the reason why I hate most self-proclaimed radical feminists. "OBAMA HUGGED SOTOMAYOR HE MUST BE PATRONISING AND SEXIST." Yeah, I'm sure. Cause Obama has never hugged anyone before. Ever. Do you even pay attention?
My rebuttal is not as good as Holly's over at The Pervocracy, however, so I recommend giving that one a good gander. (OH WAIT IS "GANDER" MALE DOMINATED LANGUAGE OH MY GODS I'M SUCH A BAD FEMINIST FOR ACKNOWLEDGING MEN AT ALL OH SHIT I DID IT AGAIN WHEN I SAID "GODS" I SHOULD JUST KILL MYSELF.) - Ending on a positive note, the young people over at Women's Glib are the fresh, new, and inspiringly hopeful face of feminism. It warms my ancient heart to see young folks blogging so insightfully. Check out Jennifer's article about dating advice or lack thereof in women's and men's magazines first.
That's it for the news round up/feminist rant. If you support civil and equal rights for all, why not pledge to be part of the Courage Campaign? It's painless, I promise you.
In loving hostility,
