So, as you’ve probably heard, a psychology class in sexuality at Northwestern University was followed up with what boils down to have been a live demonstration in the use of toys.  It was optional and only 100 of the 600 students enrolled in the class showed up.  While this demonstration walked the edge of appropriate… Continue reading

Below is a tirade from Wisconsin Representative Gordon “Happy Ending” Hintz (watch it or not, it doesn’t matter).  What shows is that this man has some pretty serious issues and should probably seek professional help (outside the Wisconsin penal system) in anger management.  Bear in mind that he was cited in Appleton, WI under an… Continue reading

Today, the New York Times has an article on Natalie Portman and a few other actors, touting their academic achievements, their drive, and their strength of will to achieve both academically and in their chosen profession.  Portman joins Hedy Lamarr (a rocket scientist, literally), Wendy from The Wonder Years (Danica McKellar) who is a mathematician… Continue reading

Is anyone really surprised that Obama has instructed the Department of Justice (had to laugh when I typed that) to not defend the Defense of Marriage Act (signed into law by Clinton) because he is of the mind that it is unconstitutional??  Perish the thought that the constitutionality of the law has not been challenged… Continue reading

It’s good to be the King so you can maintain your glutes, abs, and biceps by using a trainer FROM CHICAGO that you fly out to DC.  Seriously…..  This article in the Washington Examiner says that there are 56 entries under “Personal Fitness Trainer” in the DC phone book.  I would also think that the… Continue reading

So you cut back on what you can’t afford to… Continue reading

In lieu of real content.  Part of the Geek Rosetta Stone (per the indomitable Og)–a scene from Monty Python’s Life of Brian: Continue reading

So, here’s an interesting look into the NEA’s motivations–and much to no one’s surprise really, they aren’t in it for the children, or for educational improvements.  They are in it for the power, the union dues, and as long as pushes for educational reform don’t interfere with collective bargaining, then they might allow it but… Continue reading

Via Insty, Michael Barone has an article in the Washington Examiner that, although I’ve talked about this with Himself, really brought home a specific point about public employee unions and where our taxpayer dollars are going.  In essence, we, the taxpayers, are sending money to the Dems by proxy.  Since we pay 100% of public… Continue reading

We’ve had two fairly similar responses to unpopular bills in both Indiana and Wisconsin.  Granted, the Indiana bill takes on private sector unions and the Wisconsin bill deals with public sector unions (which should not exist, IMO) and also excludes fire and police due to safety issues.  In both states Democrat legislators (I cannot bring… Continue reading
