Texas Hold'em
$100 fine for jerking off.
[via]
A Texas state lawmaker introduced Bill 4260 that would fine men who masturbated for committing “an act against an unborn child.”
The Man’s Right to Know Act would set a $100 fine for ‘emissions outside a woman’s vagina’ and require unnecessary medical tests. The bill would require men to wait 24 hours after an “initial health care consultation” to receive an elective vasectomy, colonoscopy or Viagra prescription.
Jessica Farrar, a Democratic representative from Houston, Texas filed the satirical bill to regulate “masturbatory emissions” as a riposte to a slew of anti-abortion measures advocated by the state’s Republican politicians.
Farrar said, “Although HB 4260 is satirical, there is nothing funny about current healthcare restrictions for women and the very real legislation that is proposed every legislative session. Women are not laughing at state-imposed regulations and obstacles that interfere with their ability to legally access safe healthcare, and subject them to fake science and medically unnecessary procedures. Texans deserve to be treated with the same amount of respect when making healthcare decisions, regardless of their gender.”
She goes on to say, “What I would like to see is this make people stop and think. Maybe my colleagues aren’t capable of that, but the people who voted for them, or the people that didn’t vote at all, I hope that it changes their mind and helps them to decide what the priorities are.”

Trump vs Trudeau
Ahhhh.... the good old days...
*wipes away wistful teardrop*
On Monday, February 13th, Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau will go tête-à-tête with Donald Drumpf as they meet for the first time in Washington, DC.
The Mistress wonders ... what would happen if Justin and The Donald went "mano a mano" instead of tête-à-tête?
And I'm not talking about the kind of mano a mano Drumpf had with British Prime Minister, Theresa May.
Nor am I talking about the bizarre, 19-seconds-long handshake he inflicted on Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe.
No. We're talking about a smackdown, Bitches.
Trump vs Trudeau.
Who would win in a fight?

Canadian Discovers Trump Moth
Meet Neopalpa donaldtrumpi: a newly discovered species of twirler moth that’s making headlines...
Images: Vazrick Nazari/AP
The helmet-like cluster of yellow-white scales atop its head, bear a striking resemblance to Donald Trump’s hair.
The moth also has 'unique genitalia' which has never before been seen in a male of a similar species. Its genital 'valvae are strongly curved' with an 'acute tip.’
Its male genitalia is “comparatively smaller” than the moth’s close relative Neopalpa neonata, according to the study.
The moth's habitat extends from Southern California in the U.S. through Baja California in Mexico. (insert wall-building joke here.)
Dr. Vazrick Nazari is the Canadian evolutionary biologist who made the discovery.

“With the new administration taking office very soon, and the uncertainties about what is going to happen to the [Environmental Protection Agency], I thought perhaps this would be a good opportunity to bring wider attention to the fact that we have so many fragile ecosystems and protected areas in the US that still house undiscovered and undescribed species of plants and animals, and we absolutely need to continue protecting them,” Nazari said.

Blue Monday
[via Zenfancy]
The third Monday in January (today) is believed to be the most depressing day of the year, aka "Blue Monday."
Wrong. The most depressing day falls this year on Friday, January 20th, aka Inauguration Day.
Over to you, Ikettes...

Rise Up, Bitches
Half of a nation is devastated and The Mistress grieves with you, American Bitches.
What to do about that grief? Feel it and then heal it.
Connect with friends, family or colleagues who feel the same way you do. That's approximately HALF the country. You are NOT alone. Support each other.
Turn away from the news for awhile and give yourself a break.
Then.... get back up. That's right. Rise up, American Bitches!
Find a cause you believe in, whether it's at a local, state, or national level. Give your time and/or money to an organization that needs you. Volunteer to make your country a better place because you are NEEDED.
For those of you thinking Canada is a better option, let The Mistress remind you that it wasn't that long ago that this guy was the Mayor of Toronto. And Canada has this guy too. So as you can see, the grass isn't necessarily greener north of the border.
So take time to heal, then rise up and remember...
LOVE TRUMPS HATE!

Wake Me Up When It's Over
Or not, depending on the outcome.
Bitches, some of us have to get up very early to work.
Let me know if I should wake up in the morning or not.
Do the Right Thing, Bitches
As a Canadian, The Mistress has no say and no vote.
So take it from our American friend, COOKIE.
On Tuesday, November 8th, do the right thing, American Bitches.

Fuck You, Trump!
A message from The Mistress to Donald Trump and any man or woman who exhibits sexually predatory behaviour:
If you are not my lover or my doctor, hands off my pussy!!!
The Mistress has spoken.
For much more eloquently spoken comments, read part of Michelle Obama's remarks here.
Thank you, Michelle Obama, for your powerful, impassioned words.
What is sexual assault?
Sexual assault is a crime of power and control. The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim. Some forms of sexual assault include:
Penetration of the victim’s body, also known as rape.
Attempted rape.
Forcing a victim to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex or penetrating the perpetrator’s body.
Fondling or unwanted sexual touching.
Why, you ask, is The Mistress so riled up about sexual assault? The Mistress encourages you to read the following violations against her person that occurred during her teenage years. This list, which only includes a handful of incidents, all occurred BEFORE the age of 20!
Why didn't she go to the authorities? It was an era when sexual assault was not talked about as openly as it is today. Many women were not believed if they stepped forward with complaints. Those who did press charges were raked over the coals in a court of law. Remember, there were no documentaries on TV to educate the public about sexual assault. No social media campaigns. No celebrities coming forward to tell their stories in the media.
A partial list of sexual assault incidents committed on The Mistress from age 12-19:
Age 12-14: Repeatedly sexually assaulted by a man in his late 20s. The Mistress prefers not to elaborate other than to say that she hopes he dies a slow and painful death.
Age 16: The Mistress lands her first job. The boss corners her each time she walks into the stock room, pushing her against the wall, forcing his tongue down her throat and fondling her breasts. The Mistress did not know anything about workplace sexual harassment. She quit her job rather than seek legal aid.
Age 16: Raped by an ex-boyfriend. Why didn't The Mistress report him? Because she was told that sexual assault by an ex-boyfriend did not constitute rape because of their sexual history together.
Age 16: Middle of winter. Having a drink with a male acquaintance in a bar. Refused his sexual advances. While in the ladies' room, the man hid her winter parka. He refused to give it back unless she would agree to sex with him. She refused to have sex but couldn't ask for help from the bar staff because she was underage and afraid she would get in trouble. She had to walk home in the freezing cold without a coat. Thankfully, next day, when The Mistress described what happened to her to a male friend, the friend confronted the man and retrieved her coat for her.
Age 17: The Mistress had too much to drink at a party, asked the host (a good friend) if she could "sleep it off" in his bed, and he agreed. Another party-goer sneaked upstairs, and attempted to rape her. She was able to fight him off by saying she was about to vomit.
Age 19: The Mistress, now a university student, is visiting the home of a fellow student. He is interested in her and she is intrigued by him but wants to get to know him better before so much as kissing him. After a short time talking, he made strong sexual advances which The Mistress rejected, and said she wanted to return to her dorm on campus. While in the bathroom, he hid The Mistress's shoes and she was forced to walk back to the dorm (about a half hour walk) barefoot.
Age 19: The Mistress leaves her university dorm room to brush her teeth in the communal washroom, leaving her door unlocked. She returned to find a fellow student on her bed. He forced her onto the bed, tried to remove her clothes, and tried to rape her. The Mistress was able to stop him, following a heated struggle. This man is now a politician.
NOTE: The above incidents, and many more, occurred while The Mistress was a teenager, before she turned 20. After the age of 20, incidents would continue to occur but The Mistress had learned a thing or two by this time and was able to defend herself.
But let's give you an idea of just one of the typical behaviours The Mistress experienced past the age of 20. The Mistress would be walking along the street, minding her own business. Men would swerve up to the curb in their cars, masturbating vigorously while ogling her. Isolated incident? No. This sort of thing happened numerous times.
As mentioned previously, this was just a partial list of sexual assault incidents.
End of personal account.
Donald Trump, hoping this will all go away, said, "I will not allow the Clinton machine to turn our campaign into a discussion of their slanders and lies, but will remain focused on the issues facing the American people."
But I say to you, Donald Trump, and all your supporters, sexual assault is an issue.
“I know it’s a campaign, but this isn’t about politics. It’s about basic human decency. It’s about right and wrong. And we simply cannot endure this, or expose our children to this any longer—not for another minute, and let alone for four years. Now is the time for all of us to stand up and say enough is enough. This has got to stop right now.”
If you are not my lover or my doctor, hands off my pussy!!!

Trubama Bromance
Steamy foreign affairs!
Obama + Trudeau = "Trubama" or "Obeau."
No matter how you say it, love is in the air.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just wrapped up a three-day visit to the White House.
Obama: “And to the great credit of their people, Canadians from British Columbia to New Brunswick have so far rejected the idea of building a wall to keep out your southern neighbors. We appreciate that.”
Trudeau: “May the special connection between our two countries continue to flourish in the years to come, and may my gray hair come in at a much slower rate than yours has.”
Obama: “On a serious note, this visit reminds us of what we love about Canada. It’s the solidarity shown by so many Canadians after 9/11 when they welcomed stranded American travelers into their homes. It’s the courage of your service members standing with us in Afghanistan, and now in Iraq. It’s the compassion of the Canadian people welcoming refugees, and the Prime Minister himself who told those refugees, “you’re safe at home now.”
“From my perspective, what’s not to like?” President Obama said of Trudeau.
Trudeau described Obama as "a man of both tremendous heart and tremendous intellect".“A deep thinker,” Trudeau said of Obama, “with a big heart but also a big brain.”
There wasn't a pause between the words "big" and "brain" but we here at Infomaniac believe there should have been.
What Infomaniac readers really want to know is, who's the top and who's the bottom?

100% Scottish
On Thursday, Scottish voters will flock to the polls to answer "yes" or "no" to this question: Should Scotland be an independent country?
[via]
If Scotland votes "Yes," the United Kingdom will split and the Scots will go their own way.
A Brit who ordered a bucket of KFC, pulled out this piece of chicken (pictured below,) and declared that it looks like a map of England and Wales without Scotland...
They say that breaking up is hard to do...
Are you 100% Scottish? Take this quiz to find out.

Farewell, Jack
Once in a blue moon, a politician comes along who lights up a nation.
That bright light was Canada’s Opposition Leader, Jack Layton who died on Monday, August 22nd.
Canadian citizens of ALL political persuasions have been mourning his loss AND celebrating his life over the past week.
[via]
Jack's legacy included action against homelessness, protecting the environment, social equality, gay and lesbian rights, HIV/AIDS awareness, the White Ribbon campaign to end violence against women…and so much more.
Committed to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified (LGBT) issues, Jack appeared in Gay Pride parades long before it was fashionable for politicians to do so…
Jack played an instrumental role in legalizing same-sex marriage in Canada in 2005. A brief timeline of Layton’s contributions to the fight for gay and lesbian rights can be found here.
Jack wrote the following words as part of a farewell letter to Canadians…

Hope is better than fear.
Optimism is better than despair.
So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic.
And we’ll change the world.
