We’ve all seen it, but it’s still funny.

As true as that caption is, it hasn’t stopped the national media from obsessing over every couple lucky(?) enough to have 5 or more babies at once. The latest birth-a-thon occurred in Phoenix, where sextuplets were born to Jenny and Bryan Masche:
As doctors in a Phoenix hospital [...]

What does it mean to be a man in a world where women refuse to follow last century’s script? Well, Laura Sessions Stepp doesn’t fucking know, but she does have a deadline so here, enjoy some random quotes surrounded by some stereotypes, and a completely inappropriate and random reference to Johnny Depp.

If you’re wondering [...]

Terrorists could strike again at any moment — you don’t, nay, CAN’T know when it’ll happen again.
We were caught completely unawares by the villainy on 9/11… except for those memos floating around indicating plane-based attacks by al-Qaeda were imminent. Oh, and those briefings in which certain a “high level” government official [...]

The Bush Adminstration continues its effort to make 1984 a reality:
Retroactive immunity from prosecution is a beautiful thing if you’re a major telecommunications provider in the US, and phone companies are about to receive it if the Bush administration gets its way…
The issue of whether any of this behavior was legal is not important. The [...]

MSN could have saved some servers space had they just written one article entitled “You will never get what you need from the opposite sex so you might as well buy a masterbatory aid and call it a night” but then there’s only half as much space for ads, so they broke it up into [...]

The White House was the beneficiary of a brilliant stroke of luck today:
Tony Snow, the press secretary to President Bush, has suffered a recurrence of the colon cancer he battled two years ago, and the disease has spread, reaching the liver, White House officials said Tuesday.
Hooray! How fantastic for the Bush administration that Tony [...]

Recently, George Bush has been making the type of decisions that a real grown-up president would make. And it only took six years, (*sniff*) they grow up so fast.
I’m actually a bit tapped on outrage now, so it was with perfectly numbed feelings that I read this half-hearted attempt by the Washington Post to [...]

Remember how hard it was for Woodward and Bernstein to produce evidence that President Richard Nixon broke the law? Accomplishing that difficult task made those men national heroes, and they’ve been coasting on the resulting fame and wealth for (ahem, a few too many) decades.
Getting your hands on the smoking gun used [...]

More on the lopsided coverage of racist Bill Donohue’s anti-Marcotte/McEwan crusade in the media.
Would it kill CNN and MSNBC to _mention_ Donohue’s actual bigotry (the only bigotry that has been properly demonstrated in this mess) after profusely thanking him for deigning to be interviewed? Sheesh. Bloggers even do their homework for them and [...]

a) while she is examining the headlights of the vehicle
b) after she has agreed to buy the car
c) after she has left the showroom floor
d) all of the above
Via Twisty, someone, somewhere has finally clued into the fact that women also drive and purchase cars, and would prefer not to be treated like children while [...]

Hey, look, it’s the neuroscience merry-go-round! I can never ride this one enough!
Men may not be from Mars and women may not be from Venus, but that doesn’t mean the sexes have the same wiring. Dr. Ruben Gur and his wife, Dr. Raquel Gur, two of the world’s premier experts on gender differences [...]
