&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Senator Janet Howell, Baddass Bitch of the Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound  before having an abortion, &lt;a href="http://www.janethowell.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell&lt;/a&gt; (D-Fairfax)  on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal  exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for  erectile dysfunction medication.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“We need some gender equity here,” she told &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/30/mandatory-ultrasound-bill-virginia-anti-abortion_n_1242627.html?ref=tw&amp;ncid=edlinkusaolp00000008" target="_blank"&gt;HuffPost&lt;/a&gt;. “The Virginia  senate is about to pass a bill that will require a woman to have totally  unnecessary medical procedure at their cost and inconvenience. If we’re  going to do that to women, why not do that to men?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another great thing about this tattoo… My best friend (the infamous Paul) and I went and got our first tattoos together.  While we didn’t get matching tattoos (though it is a dream of mine to have matching tattoos with close friends and/or my sisters), we did both get tattoos that represented places and experiences that are important to us.  He got crossed sabers (a cavalry symbol) to commemorate his 8 years in the Army, while mine represents my 7 years living in Decorah.  I had such a great time and to share the experience with my best friend (whom I met in Decorah!) is something I will never forget.  Obviously.  Because tattoos are permanent.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/642962646</link><guid>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/642962646</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 May 2010 01:21:54 -0500</pubDate><category>nb4r</category><category>seriously though no regrets</category></item><item><title>definatalie:

&lt;p&gt;I got this book from my aunt when she was cleaning out her classroom, probably when I was 11 or 12 years old.  I was drawn to the book as it it was a mystery story, a brother and sister searching for a treasure, as well as two children who vanished many years ago.  The book had an element of fantasy that intrigued me, but what hooked me on it was the weaving of transcendentalist thinkers and ideology into the story.  It was very different from anything else I had read at the time, so it stuck with me.  I still have the same copy I got all those years ago, and take time to read it about once a year.  It’s a great book for children, but I would recommend it to anyone.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/532315623</link><guid>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/532315623</guid><pubDate>Sun, 18 Apr 2010 22:38:18 -0500</pubDate><category>30 day tumblr challenge</category></item><item><title>Day 12: Whatever tickles your fancy.  (This is a day late, but...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l13s0iaO9r1qzqdjzo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Day 12: Whatever tickles your fancy.  (This is a day late, but in all fairness this is what was tickling my fancy yesterday.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Watched the first 4 episodes of Summer Heights High with Kalyn this weekend, so now I can quote the show to someone other than my cats!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/532213847</link><guid>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/532213847</guid><pubDate>Sun, 18 Apr 2010 21:53:00 -0500</pubDate><category>30 day tumblr challenge</category><category>Bogan Alert</category><category>Learn what a sense of humor is okay?</category><category>It was a joke.</category></item><item><title>Blergh!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I had a great weekend with friends, but going 2.5 days without internet means I have a lot of Tumbling to catch up on!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/532177853</link><guid>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/532177853</guid><pubDate>Sun, 18 Apr 2010 21:35:52 -0500</pubDate><category>Oy gevalt!</category></item><item><title>Day 11:  A photo of you taken recently
This is probably the most...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0z47vga7F1qzqdjzo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Day 11:  A photo of you taken recently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is probably the most recent photo of me, taken on my birthday.  The handsome gentleman on my left (your right) is my BFF Paul.  Paul is wearing one of my birthday presents: the mustache on his face.  There’s a long story and inside jokes to explain why that mustache was my gift, so I won’t go there.  Let’s just say that he wasn’t too keen on wearing the mustache, but he wore it all day long (at work and school) and endured a lot of ribbing from our friends that night at dinner— just because he knew it would bring a smile to my face.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have a pretty intense friendship and, sometimes, things can get tough.  But during those times, this picture speaks a certain truth:  That sometimes you do something silly, something unusual, something that you don’t really want to do.  Maybe for a laugh or a smile, maybe for a birthday, but ultimately because there is just enough love there to make a complete fool out of yourself for a friend.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/525876298</link><guid>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/525876298</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Apr 2010 09:28:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Day 10:  A photo of you taken over ten years ago
This is...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0xjr7qyIn1qzqdjzo1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Day 10:  A photo of you taken over ten years ago&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is probably one of my favorite pictures of myself.  It is my 2nd grade yearbook photo.  And since you can’t see my whole outfit, yes, that &lt;em&gt;is &lt;/em&gt;a handknit sweater skirt set with lace ruffles on it.  The orange on my nose is a stain on the photo itself, though it kind of looks like some weird birthmark.  But my favorite part is the look on my face— not smiling, brow half-furrowed… &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s also kind of weird, because I know it’s me, but whenever I see this picture, at first I just kinda think that it’s some cute kid I know.  I wonder where she went.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/523766965</link><guid>http://samtastic.tumblr.com/post/523766965</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:09:00 -0500</pubDate><category>30 day tumblr challenge</category><category>baby Sam</category></item></channel></rss>
