The NYPD is setting up a special task force to watch nipples in Times Square. Media reports say that the task force will consist of about 100 police officers. With about 8 women strutting their stuff in the square (because of all the media coverage, there may be more now), that comes to about six officers per nipple.

Bilingual Arizona news anchor insists on pronouncing Spanish words properly
Arizona news anchor Vanessa Ruiz is bilingual and pronounces Spanish words and names correctly. There has been the expected blowback on the Interweb. For example:
“Please speak with out your accent! I hope I didn’t offend, but I love the first amendment without second hand accent.”
We totally support Ruiz’s attempt to educate Americans, but hope someone will establish a GoFundMe to send her to America latina (Latin America) so she can teach them to correctly pronounce English words, such as
- United States (not Estados Unidos)
- Baseball (not béisbol)
- Americans (not Norteamericanos)
- President Barack Obama (not Presidente Barack Obama)
- New York (not Nueva York)
And the list goes on . . .
Kim Davis jailed on contempt charges until she agrees to issue same-sex marriage licenses
Kim Davis is a conscientious objector, now in jail for contempt. Her crime? Refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. If she had refused to comply with a law that required her to sit in the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, she might have been hailed as “the first lady of civil rights.”
Does the Bitemaster agree with Davis? No. But the outrage her actions have provoked has more to do with her position on gay rights than whether she has the obligation to resist unjust laws.
