Former Governor's Suit Against TSA is Dismissed
by Charles Platt Jesse Ventura’s suit against the TSA has been dismissed because the judge claimed lack of jurisdiction. The issue seems complicated by the fact that TSA’s orders and procedures are secret (for our own protection, of course), thus making them difficult to challenge.

The Mark of Cain
Looks like Herman Cain is having a three way and not in the awesome sense. A third woman has reportedly come forward with an allegation that Mr. Cain acted inappropriately toward her.

Vaginal Obsession – TSA, you're doing it wrong
If you had to create a chart of the things I like and the things I don’t like, vaginas and the TSA would clearly be at opposite ends. The vagina is truly a wonderful thing, when properly cared for. Your mileage may vary depending on diet, grooming, genetics, and a host of other factors. But, in general, vaginas are a
Getting Sued for Being Mean
Unlike Lance Armstrong, Michael O’Connell also has a neck scar. (source) His coworkers decided it would be jolly good fun to call him “uni-ball” and “cut-throat”. Apparently, Mr. O’Connell had a problem with that. He already had some form of anxiety disorder, so he claimed he was being harassed and somehow that implicated his disability. He was subsequently canned. Forgetting

Yay Democracy!!! Oh, um… oh… err…
Oh, um… oh shit… not THAT kind of Democracy… Tunisians revolt to throw off a repressive regime, and vote in an Islamist regime.
Sometimes the Internets are really mean…
And sometimes, they are a wellspring of awesome sweetness. See this reddit thread. Jesus fuck. I really did not want my faith in humanity restored today. Tough shit for me, I guess. H/T: Ken @ Popehat
Happy Halloweenie!
Up next from the “Chrissakes will you lighten up” department: It takes a special group of people to try to ruin Halloween. A handful of college students in Ohio (who have likely never had sex with a partner) are protesting certain Halloween costumes. Source. Their “I’m a culture, not a costume” ad campaign has a sufficiently forlorn looking collection of
Amazing Hooker Shape Shifts Into a Donkey!
We’ve all woken up in the morning with someone and thought “jesus, she looked a lot better in the dim lights and through the beer goggles.” The usual result? An uncomfortable bit of silence, an “I’ll call you later,” which never happens, and your buddies make fun of you a bit the next day. Therefore, we can all identify with
Nazi-named Kids Taken From Parents
Heath and Deborah Campbell named their kids Adolf Hitler Campbell, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie.

An appeals court today held that they should not regain custody of their children.
