Romney Taking Vaginas Into Consideration Regarding Running Mate

Word Search of Potential Romney VP Candidates
The names being tossed around as possibilities for Mitt Romney’s running mate are many and varied.

Actually, they’re really not … everyone under consideration holds pretty hard-core right wing views, which shouldn’t be much of a surprise considering that Romney himself has a past history of being fairly liberal on social issues, and the Republican machine obviously wants to keep that under the radar.

But what does Romney’s potential veep have to do with feminism?

There is this impression, see, that Romney needs to strongly consider a female running mate because he is woefully behind Barack Obama in the vagina-sporting demographic (unlike the House floor, we at Zelda Lily are very comfortable with the word “vagina”).  In other words, if they want to pump up Romney’s support among women, let’s get a woman up there with him.

Because, you know, that worked out so well for John McCain last election

Anyway, The Fiscal Times created a list of fourteen potential running mates for Romney, and three of those names are women: Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire), former Secretary of State …

Schwarzenegger’s Five Kids the Real Victims as Maria Shriver Files for Divorce

Well, Maria Shriver decided to file for divorce against her philandering husband.  After twenty-five years, four kids, and at least one proven affair on the part of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Shriver evidently figured it had been enough.

From CNN:

Maria Shriver cited “irreconcilable differences” in a petition filed Friday to dissolve her 25-year marriage to former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The move comes more than a month after Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he fathered a child outside of his marriage.

The couple announced their separation on May 9, calling it a mutual decision made “after a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer.”

Honestly, I’m kind of surprised by this.  It’s a blanket assumption to state that all men cheat (just as, like some men claim, the same is true of women), but I’m pretty comfortable stating that, once someone has cheated, the odds are pretty good that they’ll cheat again.

When Schwarzenegger’s out-of-wedlock use of his Terminator became public knowledge, I was a bit taken aback that Shriver didn’t file for divorce immediately.  I know time is the healer of all wounds and so forth, but it seems to me that the timeline on this whole thing is a little strange.

I’d figured that she’d decided to let him squirm but that, ultimately, they’d stay together.

Of course, I was pretty shocked when I heard that Al (the crazed sex-poodle) and Tipper …

Mother Dies Avenging Daughter Murdered in Ciudad Juarez

Despite Estee Lauder’s evident view to the contrary, Ciudad Juarez is arguably Mexico’s darkest blot, a place where women walk violence-riddled streets to work ridiculous hours in sweatshops.  And now the mother of a woman whose daughter succumbed to this city of blood, drugs, rape, and horror, has turned up dead herself after a two year war to avenge her daughter’s death.

Neighboring Praxedis G. Guerrero has upped the ante …

Playboy Bunny Convicted of Murder in 1982 Dies

I guess Bambi Bembenek couldn’t run quite fast enough.

The accused murderess died as a result of liver failure in Oregon after trying unsuccessfully to clear her name for many years.

If you’re asking, by the way, who Bambi Bembenek is, don’t feel bad—I had never heard of her either, which is kind of surprising when you figure that a former Playboy Club bunny (who was also a cop) jailed for murdering her husband’s ex-wife is just the kind …
