especially that hilarious cake blog
I've just read Susie Bright's blog...and a lively read it is.
I'm curious about the position on contraception taken by Feminists for Life and Palin herself. I've heard all sorts of statements about this from many sources, but nothing adds up. The FFL website doesn't seem to mention it at all, and the Wikipedia article claims that the organization has no stand on the issue. Of course this doesn't make it so. (In a saner world, contraception would seem to be one of the best ways of reducing abortion, but this is not that world.)
The FFL position, whatever it is, and Palin's may not be the same either. Can someone who has the investigative chops dig this out...public statements by Sister Sarah (remember the Clint Eastwood movie?) or any FFl officer, or something documented? And whatever the result is, can they make it public. There are enough real issues with Cheney-in-drag to risk a right-hack "gotcha" because someone makes a mistaken claim.
Artist Amy Stevens has been doing work in a similar vein for years. Here's her link:

Fun and clever work.
Shoot, I wish I had a picture of this one. My little division in my software company was celebrating our first successful launch, or first year, or something, so the department admin ordered a cake from what is (usually) a great bakery. The inscription that appeared on the cake was "Congratulations on Virgin 1.0!" (should have been *Version* 1.0).
Heh, it was great. Fortunately most of us are a bunch of dirty birdies and we all thought it was hilarious.
