Michael Vick’s Abused Pit Bulls Are Given A New Leash On Life
If there’s anything that upsets me as much as the abuse of innocent children or the elderly, it is the abuse of innocent animals. I’ve done many posts here dealing with the outrages of pet/animal abuse, and it is my opinion that anyone who treats a poor creature in this manner doesn’t deserve to walk the streets free.
That is why it is nice to see an article such as the one I read this morning, on the pit bulls owned by former Atlanta Falcon Michael Vick. Michael, if you recall, was t
Michael Vick’s Sentence Reduced

Michael Vick Gets A Break+Whitney’s New Legal Drama

Michael Vick: One Sick Puppy
We knew former Virginia Tech and Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was a pretty messed up dude. You know, with the whole dogfighting-ring thing.
But apparently it was even worse than thought.

Blackface Is Not Okay… Even On Halloween
Ghouls and goblins, candy corn, jack-o-lanterns, and, yes, racial and ethnic insensitivity — they're all features of this unique, random holiday we call Halloween. The costumes and candy are all good, but that racist part is really ruining the fun. But doesn't it always?
At this point, anyone who claims not to know that it's not okay to dress up in blackface is either lying to themselves or everyone else. That doesn't mean that we won't see tons of that sort of thing all ove

Black Michael Vick devotees have begun returning to the Georgia Dome to root on the Atlanta Falcons, a pastime many gave up when Vick went to jail for funding a dog torturing operation.
According to an informal New York Times poll conducted in the Georgia Dome parking lot, black turnout for Falcons games dropped significantly when Vick went away: "There’s more white people in the crowd now. When Vick was in there, it was almost totally black." Now that the Falcons, led by white QB Matt Ryan, a
