- An aide for California's Democratic gubernatorial candidate called Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate, a "whore" on a voicemail which was accidentally left on a phone. According to the transcript, it sounds like the aide was specifically trying to say Whitman is a whore for pension reform. Whitman's campaign released a statement calling it "an insult to both Meg Whitman and to the women of California." [KPSP, Los Angeles Times]
- A so-called "crisis pregnancy center" in Wisconsin, which pretends to offer family planning services but in actuality dissuades women from abortion, has paid for a billboard depicting a teen girl and a fetus in her belly. A thought bubble coming from the teen girl reads, "My mom's going to kill me" and one from the fetus said, "My mom REALLY is going to KILL ME." Some locals said the billboard is upsetting to young children who may read the sign, but Bay Area Pregnancy Services said it does not think that it's inappropriate. [Daily Mail]
- Sigma Gamma Rho, an African-American sorority, has been accused by students at two different colleges (Rutgers in New Jersey and San Jose State in CA) for "hazing" pledges by beating them with wooden paddles. [New York Times]
