Do you have one?
After a little research I thought I better slap one on mine so I wrote one up, I hope it covers my ass-ets:

That notice will not save you from (a) hate speech or libel, since you are the publisher or the site with full control over what does or does not appear there, or (b) pilfering copyrighted content.
Good try though.-
It's true. With all the will in the world, anyone can sue for anything, at any time!
Perez Hilton was sued for copyright violation over images on his site used without the owners permission...

X17online were slapped with a lawsuit for liable, for a story they wrote about an affair that never happened...

They are both --huge-- well known websites. What chance does a little blogger have? Be caerful.

Well, yes, it was funny as hell.

Maybe you should use the NSFW classification, and describe what that means for you ..or rather for the readers to what expect.
I used to have a 15"x20" banner on the wall of my merchandising business that said something like the following (feel free to use)

Well you definitely need to cover your ass-ets due to the nature of your blog!!
Hey, by the way...I have this mole on my...oh never mind! -
Here, let me take a look at that. Moles can be very dangerous.
