E-freakin’-gads. I’ll take “Checks and Balances” for ANYTHING, Alex!
original caption: “Attorney Gloria Allred (L) and her client Mandi Hamlin pose with a mannequin and nipple rings in her Los Angeles office after a news conference March 27, 2008 in this photograph provided by Allred. Allred on Thursday said Hamlin was forced by the Transportation Security Administration to remove her nipple rings before she was allowed to board a flight in Texas on February 24, 2008. The TSA gave a pair of pliers to Hamlin in order to remove the rings, according to Allred.”

Profile: i write things. sometimes not too poorly, even. i photograph things. i don't capture them, but i render how the appeared to me, or perhaps how i might have seen them if i'd been looking in a different way. i don't believe in finalities, and new beginnings are old hat with me. i am not what i appear to be, or even what i think i am. i am, in a nutshell, a nut. eat me, or feed me to an elephant.

Maybe airport security will finally catch that nail that went through George Bush’s eye and lodged in his brain that day he was building his barn at the ranch, fainted and had a little headache, but didn’t tell anyone, thinking nothing of it.

That had to hurt. Putting those fucker in again couldn’t have been pleasant. That said, whenever I hear about someone who pierces her nipples or (shudder) clitoris, I keep wondering about the (inevitable) scar tissue. Yikes.

SEP, as far as i’m concerned!
(that’s Somebody Else’s Problem, for the acronym-impaired)
not the issue noted above, by the way, the scar tissue Pissed referred to.
