- Comedian Bill Maher, who fancies himself "edgy" or something, called Sarah Palin a "dumb tw*t" on Friday night's episode of "Real Time With Bill Maher." Because, you know, he's edgy! The National Organization for Women swiftly responded with a rolling-their-eyes statement. "Stop degrading women with whom you disagree and/or don't like by using female body terms or other gender-associated slurs," said Lisa Bennett, NOW's communications director, in a statement. "If you think someone's an idiot or a danger to the country, feel free to say so, but try to keep their sex out of it. Sexist insults have an impact on all women." [Examiner]

- Three transgender people have filed a lawsuit against the City of New York and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene claiming that the requirement that they undergo several sex change surgeries before they can legally change their gender on their birth certificate is prohibitive.
