I’ll be honest: I’m a bitch. I have no problem telling it like it is, talking about someone behind his/her back or telling secrets about people I hate. This is why people fight to stay on my good side.
Which is why people are so surprised when they find out about my passion for animals. I cry when those commercials for animal shelters come on the TV, I have to look away from movies or TV shows when an animal gets injured and I wanted to personally kill Michael Vick when it was discovered he was running that evil dog fighting ring.
It is weird, I know, but I can’t help but feel for creatures who don’t have a voice to defend themselves. Yes, even if they have the teeth or claws to do so.
Like sharks. (Yes, I am being completely serious!) Sharks are most often thought of as predators, but lately off the coast of Florida they have become victims. In the past year more and more sharks have been found murdered in the water. There is no excuse for harming another life - especially an innocent one - and it is up to us to protect every creature on this planet.
Please take a moment to sign the attached petition and protect the sharks and our planet’s wildlife.

With the writers’ strike going on for a veritable eternity, the NFL stepped in to supply us with enough drama and distractions that my girlfriend actually didn’t mind watching SportsCenter. Who was beating a hooker this week? Which QB was impregnating a super model today? What did Jessica Simpson do to fu** up my Fantasy Football team now?
The questions and drama were endless, but while NFL players were crashing million dollar cars and re-enacting “1 girl, no cup,” we took the time to point out a few of the most impactful. Read More »

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in jail on felony charges related to dogfighting after a shorter-than-expected hearing this morning.
In August Vick and his three co-defendants plead guilty for their affiliation with Bad Newz Kennels, a dogfighting group run out of a Virginia home in Vick’s name and approving the deaths of six to eight pit bulls that didn’t fight up to snuff. He faced a maximum sentence of 5 years but was expected to serve much less. Vick is also suspended indefinitely from the NFL.
One part of the morning that did go as expected was the media circus: by 8:00am dozens upon dozens of news sources, animal rights activists and Vick supporters were stationed around the courthouse, impatiently waiting for the verdict.
In related news, the Atlanta Falcons are 3-9 without Vick and will be attempting to recoup the $20 million bonus paid out to the quarterback.

The football rivalry revolving around Texas Tech and Texas A&M students got a little nastier this week.
In the past students would stick to traditional favorites ranging from rioting and ripping down the goal post to pelting opposing players with ice balls and AA batteries.
This weekend when the two schools meet up for the yearly classic, instead of taking part in reckless behavior Texas A&M students will have the option of making a silent statement by wearing an offensive T Shirt created by A&M frat boy Geoffrey Candia.
The red and black shirts bear the likeness of Michael Vick, Dog’s Best Friend wearing a #7 jersey hanging “Reveille” the dog mascot of rival Texas A&M from a noose with text that says “VICK ‘EM” on the front — in an apparent reference to the Aggies’ slogan “Gig ‘em.”
Creative and fashionable! Although the shirts are banned from being sold on campus you can pick one up on ebay to wear with pride at the game. Just watch your back because a AA battery to the head will leave a pretty big welt.

Canine-connoisseur Michael Vick felt really, really sorry about kicking the s*** out of small puppies…so he wrote down all of his feelings on a piece of paper.
Vick used a cue-card of sorts when he held a press conference last month condemning his own actions, using key words like “apologize” and “forgive” numerous times. Like the poet Baudelaire before him, Vick’s use of words were ripe with rhythm and reason.
Thought to be lost forever, the legendary “apology slip” of Michael Vick has been found.
Now, for all you feisty eBayers out there, you can own this slice of history at an affordable price!
Folks, this is your ONE chance to own an important piece of sports memorabilia.
Take a gander at the apology slip of paper, reprinted in all of its glory, after the jump!

When the Queen of Mean, Leona Helmsley, died recently at the age of 87 she left behind a will, like most knocking on death’s door do. But in the billion-dollar world of Helmsley (hotel owner, real-estate mogul and dead-ringer for The Joker) no request was too wild.
Leaving the majority of her blood ties with nary a nickel Helmsley left her dog, Trouble, with $12 million dollars in her passing. That’s right – a furry little pooch by the name of “Troubleâ€? has more money than you will ever see in your lifetime. Kibbles n’ Bits indeed.
I love animals; I just don’t give them millions of dollars to sustain a posh lifestyle that’s completely out-of-touch with reality. Read More »
