A woman who was in prison when she went into labor is suing the Nevada Department of Corrections over the poor treatment she says she received while giving birth. She was shackled before and after her delivery back in October, and the lawsuit says the prison staff ignored her "wholly obvious, serious medical needs."

On a daily basis, most of us allow ourselves to live with the delusion that the Earth is a generally safe and predictable place, but every once in a while something happens which makes it impossible to ignore that this planet is a deeply fucked up and scary deathtrap. The latest evidence? A gigantic fireball that…
In case you haven't noticed, Wisconsin's been fraught with untenable political tumultuousness since one-man Human Centipede Scott Walker was elected governor. He's bullied teachers, attacked gay couples' hospital visitation rights, signed a repeal of Wisconsin's equal pay law, and rolled back sex education to an…

Citing the "unclear" wording in Nevada's pro-personhood ballot initiative, a Nevada judge has thrown the stupid thing out.
Since Mississippi is officially the most conservative state in the country, one might argue that if your idiotic personhood measure can't make it there, it can't make it anywhere. But don't bother trying to tell that to Nevada's band of lunatics.

It took a cease and desist letter from Hasbro to get Sharron Angle to remove this creepy "Harry Reid Amnesty" game site. The company had complained about Monopoly being ripped off and entangled in partisan politics. Some things are sacred.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle really likes her macho talk. First she was telling Democratic rival Harry Reid to "man up," and now this. Up next: Sharron Angle's "Blitzkrieg of the Beltway." (She's still a mother and grandmother, though.)
Sharron Angle may not be talking to journalists, but she's got jokes. In the past day, she's sent Joy Behar flowers to thank Behar for calling her a bitch and launched a Monopoly-inspired game to mock Harry Reid on immigration.
Since even Sharron Angle's people realized her own ignorance was getting her in trouble, Angle has taken to evading the press by tricking them into waiting by the wrong entrance. Why not just hire an Asian woman as a decoy?
It's challenging to stand out as a bigoted crackpot this campaign season, but Sharron Angle deserves a gold star, says Rachel Maddow, for having the most "overtly racist" ad this year. Is she also the most bigoted major-party nominee?
The only thing worse than getting up early in the morning to read and regurgitate the news — among other things — is doing it on the weekend. There really is no crappier an hour.
Described by CBS as "a muscular college dropout," who's done stints in the Marines and porn, "Markus" has become Nevada's first legal male prostitute - or "prostidude," to those who apparently fantasize about paid sex with stoned college sophomores:
Apparently unswayed by the demise of Playgirl and the crappiness of Hung, a Nevada brothel owner is bringing in male prostitutes to fight the recession. And, as seen in this highly-recommended news item, cackling about it!
