In Different Area Codes: Happy International Women’s Day! On that note, here’s the Women Suffrage take on Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”
No Tip for You: A Broadway taxi cab ran a red light, hit a BMW and proceeded to send two pedestrians flying through the windows of a downtown storefront last night. Yikes.
Visibility: Invisible Children — the charity behind the viral Kony 2012 campaign — faces criticism for “manipulating facts” and exaggerating on the Ugandan leader’s story.
Sneaky Tuesday: Cleverly veiled by Super Tuesday madness, Utah passes a bill requiring abstinence-only sex education in public schools.
Hopping the Line: Syrian’s deputy minister steps down to join the anti-government revolt, deeming President Bashar al-Assad’s tactics “brutal.”
Holy Smokes: Televangelist Pat Robertson want to legalize marijuana, blaming the war on drug’s failure on liberals. Also, he blames the Midwest tornadoes on the lack of prayer.
Didn’t See That Coming: Rush Limbaugh loses 43 advertisers in the wake of his “slut” comment. And the numbers continue to rise.
And here’s a sloth in a onesie.
A day for women? That’s how it starts, next thing you know the Irish will want one. And rabbits.
Great sloth video. Thanks!
We do want one Todd! It used to be a grand celebration where out grandfathers got paid in lager. Now it’s just an excuse for a-holes to go out and get shitfaced regardless of heritage. Its even better when they adopt fake Irish accents because that isn’t in the least insulting to the culture (the same assholes likely wear sombreros on Cinco De Mayo). Also, you can generally spot the same skanks who show up at Mardi Gras AND spring break (despite the fact that some of them are well over 30). I will be going to a lovely Irish pub in west linn of all places. I know none of you will be attending as apparently you don’t leave the Portland Metro area. Btw, never heard or International Women’s day, but women should really get more than one
