Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There is something big on fire in Palo Alto (or maybe Mountain View) that I can see from my window. The smoke is decreasing though, which I hope means it is under control.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hil, I think yes. That account has been hacked or phished. You might want to email her and let her know.

And yet people are like, "Us poor Christians are being oppressed! You're not letting us inflict our majority view on the minority!"

@@ at them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is this a Christian nation or not, people?!?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not familiar with Newsmax - how mainstream are they?

Full Text Of Newsmax Column Suggesting Military Coup Against Obama

Here is the full text of John L. Perry's column on Newsmax which suggests that a military coup to "resolve the Obama problem" is becoming more possible and is not "unrealistic." Perry also writes that a coup, while not "ideal," may be preferable to "Obama's radical ideal" -- and would "restore and defend the Constitution." Newsmax has since removed the column from its website.

Mainstream--maybe in pervasiveness, but not a major operation. Biased--oh, hell yeah.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

We have their magazine front and center at the B&N, right next to Time and Newsweek, and beside the conservative mags.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A quick glance at their front page says "right-wing crackpot" to me - a big splashy Glen Beck promo, and featured blogs by Dr Laura and Rush Limbaugh's brother.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Newsmax thinks it is the RW Media Matters. It is chock-full of truthiness and Keith Olbermann diva stories.

Meanwhile, CNN is trying to take the NYT's "Women's Issues: Who Needs Relevance?" crown away with their stunning expose on Why Women Have Sex:

What makes a woman want to have sex? Is it physical attraction? Love? Loneliness? Jealousy? Boredom? Painful menstrual cramps?

It turns out that woman have sex for all of these reasons and more, and that their choices are not arbitrary; there may be evolutionary explanations at work.

ZOMG! It's almost as if women are PEOPLE!!! With AGENCY!!!

Buss said he found it surprising how dramatically and variably sexual experience seemed to influence women's feelings of self-esteem.

"Some sexual experiences that women in our study reported just had devastating effects and long-lasting negative effects on their feelings of self-worth," he said. "But then for others, their sexual experiences provided the soaring height of euphoria and made them feel alive and vibrant."

Hold the phone - SOMETIMES SEX IS GOOD AND OTHER TIMES IT IS NOT, DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I cannot wait to see the groundbreaking scientific research behind this momentous discovery. Truly, this deserves a Nobel Prize.
