• Did Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger mean to send a hidden message in a letter telling California legislators to f**k off? [F-Listed]—I doubt he’s that bright or clever.
• Sure, Halloween is for the kiddies. But it’s also a perfect excuse for adults to do a little role-playing, if ya know what we mean. Em & Lo explain how ... [Em & Lo]
• Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are apparently back on again because they went on the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride together. [E! Online]—Sadly, they weren’t snatched up by a netherworld ghastly ghoul, never to be heard from again.

California’s Kindergarten Cop has pumped up a decade-old law for fining paparazzi who illegally take photos or recordings. Now, in addition to the photographer, celebrities will be allowed to sue the outlets who buy and use the offensively obtained material. That might not strike most of us as an extreme measure, but lawsuits are daunting. They’re already a major expense for media outlets whose bread and butter is broadcasting private moments celebrities try to indulge in.

• California’s governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, cut all of the funding—$16.3 million in total—for domestic violence programs from the 2009-10 state budget. State Assembly members say many shelters rely on that funding for a substantial part of their support. [The San Bernadino Sun] — We understand CA’s in a budget crisis, but why are the neediest people shouldering the burden?
• The IUD is the best form of birth control, according to one health writer. It’s 99 percent effective, has a one-time cost for implantation, and requires no upkeep. [Slate] — Too bad they sound so retro.
• The horrifying gang rape of an eight-year-old Liberian girl in Phoenix by four adolescent boys has shed light on how sexual assault has been used in that African nation’s culture during the country’s civil war. It has also shown how Liberian culture still stigmatizes rape, because the girl’s family disowned her once they heard about the crime. A human rights researcher from Amnesty International, who spoke to CNN, speculated that the boys who raped her, who were all also Liberian, may have been exposed to sexual assault at some point in their young lives and had “normalized” it. [CNN] — It’s an awful story, but it’s not something we can ignore in a melting-pot country.

Shockingly, we’re kind of digging these two 20-year-old conservatives from Dartmouth College who’ve gone viral on the interwebs rapping about their GOP values. The duo known as The Young Cons wrote and created a video for their song “Young Con Anthem,” in which they spew such conservative insight as, “Don’t matter if your gay, straight, Christian or Muslim/There’s one thing we all hate, called socialism.” While my Jewish mother may not approve of their Jesus love, I couldn’t help but be caught by their fine looks—especially the one who goes by the street name ‘Stiltz.’

This got me thinking, are there any other steamy conservative men out there? [Perhaps, ones we’d like to, hee hee, hate f**k?—Editor] Let’s take a look, shall we?

Grace Kelly’s son, the playboy Prince Albert of Monaco, is finally engaged! While the significance of him producing an heir is important to Europe, we here at The Frisky are interested in talking about the other historically significant Prince Albert—the penis piercing. All the meaty details, after the jump…

There’s an interesting story in the New York Times today about a happy household with widely different political views—their front yard sports signs for both John McCain and Barack Obama. You may have heard of them—California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (a Republican) and his wife, Kennedy family member, Maria Shriver (a Democrat). “I think there are great benefits to having kids grow up understanding that we do not live in a one-party system,” Shriver said. “That there are two ways at looking at an issue. To be patient, and to compromise, those are good lessons not just in politics but for life. I grew up believing there was only one way to think. There isn’t.” A couple weeks ago, we decided to ask people on the street just how capable they would be of being with someone with different political views—their answers may surprise you.

With all of this Eliot Spitzer business going on, we started wondering, “If we were a high-priced prostitute, which governor would we want to do?” because, let’s face it, Eliot leaves something to be desired. So here are the five best-looking governors this country has to offer.

The Times U.K. just released its awesomely nerdy list of the “50 Best Movie Robots”. As we geeked out and combed through the nominations, we found our human senses drooling. Sure, a bunch of them are programmed to kill, but they’re still pretty damn sexy.  Maybe it’s all the sculpted metal, maybe it’s because they have bodies that just won’t quit—or perhaps we just have that weak mortal need to reason. While your man may think he’s dragging you along to watch his fave sci-fi/action flicks, we know your secret—there’s always an eyeful for the ladies too. In homage to manly machines, after the jump are The Frisky’s “Top Five RWLH’s (Robots We’d Like to Hump)”.
