Former Congressman and current mayoral candidate/New York Post headline penis pun darling Anthony Weiner has done a lot of apologizing for the unfortunate sexting habit that all but derailed his political career two summers ago ... so you'd think a guy with sky-high political aspirations would have learned his lesson. … Read… 7/23/13 3:10pm 7/23/13 3:10pm

Christine C. Quinn, the current Speaker of the New York City Council, might be the first female (and LGBT) mayor of NYC. Could she be more of a feminist role model?

Once, I walked out of the back door of my apartment in Chicago and saw a gigantic rat running down the stairs right past me and I screamed so loudly that people on other floors came outside to make sure I wasn't currently in the process of being murdered. But … Read… 10/31/12 2:31pm 10/31/12 2:31pm
