We Are Change founder Luke Rudkowski was arrested for trying to ask New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg about his refusal to pay for the health care of 9/11 first responders.
The charges? "Impersonating a member of the press" and trespassing.

Great post from about the whole issue of feminism and sex work; very refreshing to have someone outside of the sex trade stand up for sex workers!

As Valentine's Day approaches, think about the love-of-your-life if you've got one. Or imagine him or her if you don't. Think about building a life with your love, becoming partners building a life together, sharing goals and values, having children together.
Now imagine there's a court case to forcibly divorce you against your will...

This is a simply amazing view of the inauguration. The photographer took lots of high-resolution images and stitched them together in a Flash program. You can navigate out to see a shot of tens of thousands of people, and then navigate all the way in to see people's faces closeup. Here's a couple screenshots...

Johanna's stepfather sent this and I found it a riot. But I've always loved Robin Williams, who I find both sexy and funny (aren't they the same thing?)

Johanna says we have enough naughty stuff posted that I'm allowed to post about politics again. ;)
There's two sites I want to share here that I've run across since the election, both have touched me deeply.

Yes We Can was independently produced/directed by Jesse Dylan (son of Bob) as a way of lifting the spirits of the Obama campaign after the loss of New Hampshire during the primaries and became wildly viral soon after.
The video, the sound track, and the slogan were all later adapted by the official Obama campaign - yet another demonstration of how grassroots driven the campaign was.

There was no way yesterday's election wasn't going to be historic, no matter how it turned out - either we'd have the first black president or the first female vice-president.
Newseum.org is a web site that shows the front pages of newspapers from around the globe. Today's papers are ones we may want to remember:

Planned Parenthood is running a fund raiser for October and November that works in an amusing way. It works like sponsoring a walk-a-thon, except instead of bidding on every mile someone walks, you bid on every protester who shows up at their clinics!
They're calling it "Pledge-a-Picket".
