Granted, a monster that looks very nice in heels & generally appears un-monster-like. Then again as much as I'd like to I doubt I had that much to do with her "turning" into one of us. In any case the...
Via Talkleft I discovered that the house approved an amendment to a bill that would make possession of firearms an offense for those convicted of misdemeanors involving sex. Child rapists shouldn't have guns right? Well I'd say that child rapists...

From the NYT: "Waters were receding across this flood-beaten city today as police officers began confiscating weapons, including legally registered firearms, from civilians in preparation for a mass forced evacuation of the residents still living here." (Emphasis added) A few...
