I watched some of the Chris Rock HBO special the other night, and of course politics were the main topic for the opening. Much of it was funny and on point, but one specific joke really stood out to me. He described what Sarah Palin looks like in the photo of her standing victorious over [...]

Concerned about what your kid is eating in school? Let me guess – they offer cheese burgers, pizza and other crap without a single piece of greenery in sight – well, maybe some anemic looking iceburg lettuce on a sandwich.

Adorable Reusable Bags

The first two bags are from Marc Jacobs. They are shamelessly overpriced, but adorable all the same. So in case anyone has a hundred or two dollars hanging around, these might be bags for you. I love the “Save a Pole” and the fact that they are made out of hemp. But I hate the [...]

In USA Today an article about a growing trend was reported, showing schools that have “pet friendly” housing. What does this mean? You can room with your companion on campus and don’t have to get off campus housing. In some cases, this is a pretty good deal. If you’re like my friend Alison who had [...]

Disclaimer: I know PETA does some fantastic work, like getting the footage from that Iowa pig farm a few days ago. This is not a tirade against PETA. It is simply a questioning of some of their methods. Here is the title of the NBC article on PETA’s latest stunt: PETA Urges Ben & Jerry’s [...]

The Humane Society Legislative Fund is endorsing Obama, and it’s no surprise. McCain actually has done some great stuff for animals. But Palin, well you know. If you’d like to see each candidates history on animal issues, vegansoapbox.com did a great run down of their voting records. The NRA has been airing ads that give [...]

We went to hang out with many of his family members who are involved in the local politics. So here is the scene: We walk in, and immediately start talking to some republicans (my husband and [...]
