Comcast is in hot water again this week after a Spokane, Washington, resident named Lisa Brown posted a bill in which her husband's first name, Ricardo, had been altered - well, changed entirely, really - to "a--h--." Consumer advocate blogger Christopher Elliott reported the story initially. Elliott wrote that Brown, after seeing the name-change on her bill, visited her local Comcast office and made a series of phone calls before contacting Elliott and sending him a copy of the bill. Elliott contacted Comcast, who confirmed their internal records matched Brown's bill. Elliott then received a call from Steve Kipp, Comcast's...

Comcast isn’t known for its stellar customer service, and now the Internet and cable company is once again in hot water after sending one of its customers a bill with the name “A—hole Brown.” The story was initially reported by blogger Christopher Elliott, and Comcast later confirmed the claims to Wired. Ricardo and Lisa Brown reported the story to Elliott on Wednesday, Jan. 28, sharing a picture of the bill they received after trying to cancel their service. The Browns had been trying to change their plan [...]...

Meghan McCain has never been afraid to speak her mind.
The outspoken daughter of Arizona Senator John McCain has been turning up more than normal of late, publicizing her book, "America, You Sexy Bitch," and generally making waves for little or no reason.
But now McCain is shilling her new apparent catchphrase, repeatedly telling America she will not be voting with her vagina.
During a weekly chat on the Ktar radio show "Mac and Gaydos" Tuesday, McCain told audiences that "As a pro-life female Republican voter, I'm not voting with my vagina."
Instead, the colorful commentator said she would voting with her pocketbook.
Mac and Gaydos did not follow up on McCain's remark, and the Phoenix New Times cheekily noted it had been unable to reach McCain's vagina for comment.
Vaginas are a hot topic these days, and the women's vote is increasingly touted as an essential part of a winning presidential strategy.

Whilst perusing the internets earlier today, a friend came across a staggering statistic: one in three women in America will have an abortion at some point in their life. Another article says that if the current rates continue, 35% of women will have had an abortion by the time they reach the age of 35. Um. What?
I took a quick break from writing about shoes to looks up a few more facts just to get my bearings on the abortion front, and there's definitely some confusing information, which leads me to ask: Hey Planned Parenthood, what's the deal with the morning after pill? For full disclosure, I took it as a precaution one morning after I had fallen asleep without taking my pill, so does that mean I'm part of that statistic?

Republican lawmakers in Michigan don't watch enough television. The ruckus about the use of the word vagina in the statehouse there proves it.
The brouhaha over vagina started when a female lawmaker in Michigan said she was barred from speaking in the statehouse after she uttered the v-word when debating anti-abortion legislation. This led to a performance of The Vagina Monologues at the Capitol. Michigan Republicans said it wasn't the use of the word vagina they objected to but that the lawmaker, Democratic State Representative Lisa Brown, compared the legislation to rape and that violated the rules of decorum.
Here's what Brown said: "I'm flattered you're all so concerned about my vagina, but no means no."

Last Thursday, Republicans banned two Michigan lawmakers from speaking on the State House floor because of a "temper tantrum" they'd thrown the day before. Their offense? Using the word vagina in a debate about abortion.
The controversy is mostly attributed to Rep. Lisa Brown, who ended her address to her colleagues with, “I'm flattered you're all so concerned about my vagina, but no means no.”
On Monday night's "Daily Show," Jon Stewart called the remark "a pretty decent vagina zinger," but he couldn't quite understand all of the controversy.
What are they worried about? Vaginas aren't like Voldemort or Beetlejuice. Invoking the name 'vagina' doesn't make them suddenly appear. Believe me, if it did, high school would have been very different for me.
Since the ban, Brown has found ways to peacefully protest her colleagues, but she still remains unclear on what her exact offense was.

Lansing, Mich. — A state lawmaker who says she was barred from speaking in the Michigan House because Republicans objected to her saying "vagina" during debate over anti-abortion legislation performed "The Vagina Monologues" on the Statehouse steps – with a hand from the author.
Eve Ensler, whose groundbreaking play about women's sexuality still packs theaters 16 years after it debuted, oversaw Monday night's performance by Democratic state Rep. Lisa Brown, 10 other lawmakers and several actresses.
Capitol facilities director Steve Benkovsky estimated about 2,500 spectators – women and men – watched the play in downtown Lansing from lawn chairs and blankets. Billed on Facebook as the "Vaginas Take Back the Capitol!" event, the combination play and protest included political signs and chants of "Vagina! Vagina!"

In a completely terrifying development, Alan Ball says that Rick Santorum inspired this season of True Blood, because more frightening than any monster is the concept of a theocracy, which is basically the idea behind the Authority. Although on second thought, the idea that he inspired True Blood may be more terrifying to Santorum.

Lansing, Mich. -- A Michigan lawmaker barred from speaking in the state House after she used the word "vagina" during a debate on an anti-abortion bill will participate in a performance of the Tony Award-winning play, "The Vagina Monologues," on the state Capitol steps.
Michigan Democratic Party fundraiser Laura Hornshaw said Saturday in an email that Monday evening's performance was planned in response to Rep. Lisa Brown not being allowed to speak on the House floor Thursday.
Republicans who control the chamber said the West Bloomfield Democrat violated decorum Wednesday while speaking against a bill requiring doctors to ensure women aren't coerced into ending their pregnancies.
Brown told Republicans she was flattered they were "all so concerned about my vagina. But no means no."...

Two non-penised lawmakers were banned from the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives on Thursday for using the words "v*****a" and "v*******y" during debate over an anti-abortion bill.
Michigan is proposing to ban abortions after 20 weeks, as seven other states have done recently, because apparently taxes to pay for highways are the encroachment of fascism, but government has every right to encroach on non-penises' health.
Michigan State Rep Lisa Brown, who's a Jewish non-penis, ran down a list of women's health requirements under her religion, and argued that she's not enforcing her religion through state law, so why should anybody else? But it was the last line that got Brown in trouble: "And finally, Mr Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my v****a, but no means no."
