Republicans for rape and other fun issues
Republicans to American Women: Bros Before Hos A few weeks ago, Darling Rachel talked about Senator Franken’s first course of action – an amendment to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. This piece of legislation prohibits our government from contracting with companies (coughHalliburtoncough) that prevent their employees from utilizing the U.S. justice system when they’ve been raped or [...]
Your favorite local blogger will be on Studio 10
Get the DVRs ready, bitches. Funny story. Years ago, working my way through college at Tampa Woman’s Health Center, Julie and I would leave work in scrubs to appear on The Kathy Fountain Show. We’d yell. We’d hoot. We’d holler. With big hair and even bigger indignation, we’d scare the pro-lifers in the audience and [...]
I can’t believe I beat the girl who writes about anonymous sex
I won Best Female Contributor for Creative Loafing. Thanks to my readers for their support and haters for their motivation. A special shout-out to my lovely balcony and orchestra – let’s face it, without tits and ass, I’d have no conservative audience. Every little bit helps. My kids were reading the list in Creative Loafing’s [...]
The Loafies. Who’s in?
From Creative Loafing: You’ve voted in the Readers’ Poll and you can’t wait to see who the editors picked this year for categories like “Best display of ignorance by a public official,” “Best beach to run naked on at night” and “Best experimental bartenders.” So, what now? Well, you could wait until the issue hits [...]
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation needs your help
While I sit here waiting for my doctor to call, thinking about others and the way in which we can help people in need is a welcome distraction. But I’ll get to this year’s Boobie-Thon later. For now, here’s your chance, Bucs fans -prove you are good for something besides public drunkenness and spreading STDs! [...]
Hernando student in hijab wouldn’t stand for the flag
As a teacher, I never forced a student to stand for the pledge. I prefer to know which students are expressing love of country or respect for the flag because they feel it and which ones don’t give a flying fuck. But that’s just me: I heart transparency. Besides, the idea of compulsory pledging goes [...]
Creative Loafing’s Best of the Bay
As one of their contributors, I was asked to submit a few entries of my own. So, I did.
Is Cesar Padilla incompetent? Perhaps. But not because he cruises his college website.
Come on, Mike Deeson. You’re better than that. To go after a public official, who has this much dirt, for spending a few minutes on his college website is lazy. Real lazy. Lazy like using the empty toilet-paper roll to wipe your ass because you don’t feel like getting up to get a new one.
St. Pete Times drops the ball when covering Channel 8 protest
When Alexandra Zayas, from The St. Petersburg Times, called to talk about the Channel 8 protests, I couldn’t have been happier. Intelligent, friendly, compassionate – Zayas understood the topic and had done the research. She was covering the protest and surrounding story, gathering opposing points of view from friend and foe alike. Hers would be [...]
