New York Prostitutes Attempt to Curb Condom Confiscation
Sex worker advocates in New York are pushing state authorities to prohibit police officers from using condoms as evidence during prostitution investigations. The rights groups argue that prostitutes are being discouraged from carrying or using condoms because police officers frequently confiscate the items during prostitution investigations, and use the condoms as evidence to arrest the sex workers in question.

Ted Nugent Threatens Obama (and Possibly Himself) Over Gun Control
It seem that the Secret Service has focused its attentions on country music star Ted Nugent (when the Service isn’t living it up in Columbia), following a series of inflammatory remarks from the loud-mouthed musician. Nugent, who has long been a vocal gun-rights supporter, claimed that should president Obama be re-elected, he plans to be either “dead or in jail” by next year. Despite the fact that Nugent appears to be threatening his own life as much as that of the Commander-in-Chief, the Secret Service is taking the statement very seriously, and has launched an investigation of the star. What we’re wondering is why an individual who has carved his own name into a fan’s arm, sliced his leg open with a chainsaw, and gained legal guardianship of his 17-year-old girlfriend hasn’t been investigated before.
