Five years in Iraq and more than 4,000 US soldiers dead. I’m so tired of this. I support the troops — so let’s bring them home. And let’s take care of those who’ve served. I mean, we only asked them to put their lives on the line. Bouncing Souls’ Letter from Iraq: NOFX’s Franco Unamerican:…
Like a lot of people, I was pretty freaked out when the news broke last week about a potential link between the prescription drug Singulair and suicides. Singulair, made by Merck, is used to treat asthma (that’s me) and allergies and is available in doses ranging from children to adults. According to news reports, while…
These are my new Hello Kitty collectables and I just love them so much I had to share. There are 10 in all, but I’m too lazy to hunt them all down. And yes, this is my computer in The Sin City Siren headquarters (dig purple walls). You don’t even want to know all the shit I…

The idea is to discuss topics, network and build community ties. Each…
Do you like doing things for a good cause? Have you ever done a 5K? If you’re like me you answered yes to the first question and no to the second. Well, I’m in the process of changing both my answers to yes. I’m training for my first 5K. I decided to share, in order…

I just finished watching Shut Up & Sing, the documentary about the Dixie Chicks following the controversy of Natalie Maine’s comments about President Bush in 2003 on the eve of the invasion of Iraq. All I have to say is that this diehard punk rock chick is the Dixie Chicks’ newest fan! And that’s not easy for…
The new Vogue cover is sparking controversy. Some people are saying it makes it look like Lebron James is King Kong (read: scary black man) and Gisele is the damsel in distress. But there’s definitely not a consensus, even among self-proclaimed angry black men. So, are we mad about this? — E
