Bite My Tongue

It's only hair

I mean really, people. Britney Spears shaves her head and oh my! Judgement Day is at hand!

She's insane. She's on A LOT of drugs. Her poor kids. She's bipolar. OMG TEH CRAZY.  And my favorite, "She'll be dead soon."

Seriously, what the hell? Maybe she wanted to see/feel what it was like. Maybe it's her way of starting over. Maybe she finds it liberating. I've shaved my head bald for all those reasons. And maybe she got high and shaved her head. So what? It's just hair; it grows back. Even if it was big, drunken mistake - it's temporary.

I'm especially disappointed and disgusted with the ill-will coming from female bloggers. You're why just about every woman who's involuntarily bald due to chemotherapy or alopecia or whatever feels obligated to hide her baldness. Your intolerance promotes self-hatred and insecurity. Lard help those who fail or refuse to conform to your ridiculous constrict of acceptable female appearance. Yep, you're just a tool of the patriarchy.

Hey, but what do I know. I'm just a crazy, drug addled, unfit mother with electric clippers.

On the first day of the 110th Congress, a bill designed to help law enforcement crack down on animal fighting was introduced in the House of Representatives. U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA), John Ensign (R-NV), Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced a parallel bill in the Senate the following week.

At present, most dog and cock-fighting offenses are considered misdemeanors -- basically a slap on the hand. The Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act (H.R. 137 & S. 261) would make it a felony to transport an animal across state or international borders for animal fighting. It would prohibit the interstate and foreign commerce in knives and gaffs designed for use in cockfighting.

Please take 60 seconds and call or email your elected representatives to let them know you support this act. Lend your voice to these innocent animals who cannot speak up for themselves.
