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

McCartney was commissioned to lend her design expertise to the creation of a new eco-friendly line of handbags and travel gear for LeSportsac. This Deer Rucksack is one of those new products and is made from recycle polyester and other green materials. It’s also just about the ugliest thing anyone co

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.

Review: 'DogTown': 'The Michael Vick Dogs'
It has been a summer of awe-inspiring, thought-provoking spectacle on television. First the Summer Olympics, then the Democratic and Republican national conventions and now the return of "DogTown." If that sounds sarcastic or snarky, it isn't meant to. The two-hour season premiere of the popular National Geographic Channel show is titled "Saving the Michael Vick Dogs," and if there were such a thing as an Olympics for animal rescue and rehabilitation, this would be it. Last December, the Atlanta Falcons'

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
