Is it November Yet?

Favorite new tumblr: The Worst Things for Sale.  It's incredible not only that these products exist but also that people actually buy them.  Like these Puppylocks.  Really?  (TWTFS)

Republicans in Congress killed a bill that would help unemployed veterans receive job training.  The strange thing is, many of them helped to write the bill in the first place.  So why did they kill it?  Speculators believe they wanted to prevent Obama from scoring another victory.  That's right - it's more important to some Republicans to see Obama lose than it is to provide help to those who have served our country.  I just can't with these political games anymore, you guys.  Is it Election Day yet? (NBC News)

Despite that bad news, there was something to celebrate yesterday - September 20th marked the one year anniversary of the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."  While there's still a ways to go until all people considered equal in our country, this was still a big step for equality.  (HRC) 

Ten Hottest Pictures of Jon Hamm (HAAAAAAAAMMM!!!)

Figgy

I can't even tell you how long it took me to decide on just ten photos of HAAAAAAAAAAAAMM. Because it's not possible. Because he's the most handsome man on the planet earth, and you can't narrow beauty like that to ten photos. But I tried. For you.

Don Draper's a dick, but god, he's pretty.

Things are Better? Well, At Least There Are These Links, Right?

I'm gonna read this as "hug life" and see him as a kitten.
  Imagination's great, huh?

Well, its Thursday and the world is very different indeed. Yes, its true, I got a haircut!

Oh, and something happened with Marriage Equality or whatever.

Well let's celebrate the really important stuff by getting me a little present.  May I suggest spangly diaper-like underpants?  Wait, they're a big thing with celebrities now? Oh man, this KEEPS happening.  First Beyonce steals my see through dress with purple feathers and now this. (Buzzfeed)

Okay, on to the real news: Obama finally backs gay marriage. Hooray! (Huffington Post)

Well…sort of. (Gawker)

I wonder why he’d be so wussy about it?  Oh…right, because people are so ignorant and terrible. (Gawker)

Oscar FEVER! Let's Play Dress Up!

We here at Hot Ink love the Oscars. Every year, Pajiba Ladies choose dresses that we would wear if we were at the ceremony. It's fun and you can always lament that you would have looked so much hotter in that Marchesa than OldWhatsHerFace did when she arrived in your dress. Since we totally have a platform now to inflict our dress choices and odd fascination with the Academy Awards on others, we decided that it was crucial to do so. Feel free to play along and post your dream dress in the comments!

Also, on Oscar night we will be watching and commenting over at Pajiba while Courtney live-blogs the ceremony. Come for the reactions to red carpet looks, stay for people being super-pissed if Jonah Hill wins an Oscar!

Hump Day List: Some Men That We Would Do Just Really Filthy Things To

Pinky and The Ladies of Hot Ink

Perhaps you had gleaned this little factoid from my bio on the contributor page, but I really like John Krasinski. A LOT. I have a difficult time watching episodes of The Office where people are mean to Jim, because Krasinski's sad face just breaks my insane little heart.

I have had a crush on Krasinski ever since I watched my first episode of The Office, which happened to be "Christmas Party". I immediately set about watching more episodes and bought all of the seasons until recently.

I don't want to talk about it. Ahem.

I would likely follow that man wherever he wanted me to go. You know, in a purely Freebie List, hypothetical, actually-I'm-totally-serious way. Is it his sense of humor? Yes. That body? Holy Godtopussy, YES. He is sexy. So sexy to me. I would do just wonderful, terrible things with that man. He is my number one (and sometimes number five) on my Freebie List. Always.

But what about some of the other Ladies here? Who really melts their panties?
