Who Killed California?
by Troy Senik http://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/who-killed-california My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up. Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.Lenzr is a serial photo contest website

The G-spot: What is it?
The Gräfenberg spot or G-spot was discovered by Ernst Gräfenberg a German gynecologist who first described it as “an erotic zone located on the anterior wall of the vagina along the course of the urethra that would swell during sexual stimulation.” The area the G-spot occupies is called the urethral sponge and it is tissue that surrounds the urethra (the tube we pee out of) that swells with fluid during sexual arousal. It is associated with the prostate gland in men and is made up of a complex system of erectile tissue, secretion glands (the Skene’s gland), the internal pelvic nerve and muscles that engage with one another during the arousal cycle. In most women it is sensitive to pressure and stimulation which can lead to high levels of sexual arousal and powerful orgasms. The existence of a G-spot has been widely accepted and most popular sexology books treat it as fact. In one study of female ejaculation, 84% of the approximately 1300 professional women who responded reported a sensitive area in the vagina, and this was correlated with those who also reported ejaculation.

With the passing of Walter Cronkite, Mr. Brokaw is considered perhaps the new "dean" of journalism. As such the former NBC News anchor is periodically summoned forth to assess the current world, an occasion that presented itself recently on the venerable NBC Sunday newser Meet the Press.Party of Medi-Scare?
Party of Medi-Scare? [Tevi Troy] Bruce Bartlett has a piece in Forbes criticizing the GOP for becoming the party of Medicare. His argument is that while Republicans initially opposed Medicare and have long criticized it, the combination of President Bush backing prescription drug coverage under Medicare in the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) and RNC Chair Michael Steele's recent Senior Bill of Rights, which opposes paying for President Obama's health reform with Medicare cuts, indicate that the GOP has sold out to seniors on this issue.A few points need to be made in response. First, Bartlett is right that Republicans are no longer inveterate Medicare bashers.Party of Medi-Scare?

By Linda Carroll msnbc.com updated 7:23 a.m. CT, Thurs., Jan. 29, 2009 As the world marvels over the miracle births of eight seemingly healthy babies in California, medical ethicists and fertility experts argue that the media is sending the wrong message with its focus on the creation of an instant Brady-Bunch like family.Women in Politics After Hillary and Sarah
The “Bitch” and the “Ditz” How the Year of the Woman reinforced the two most pernicious sexist stereotypes and actually set women back. By Amanda Fortini/NY Times Published Nov 16, 2008 In the past few weeks, Sarah Palin has been variously described as a diva who engaged in paperwork-throwing tantrums, a shopaholic who spent $150,000 on clothing, a seductress who provocatively welcomed staffers while wearing only a towel, and a “whack-job”—contemporary code for hysteric. Worse, she was accused by a suspiciously gleeful Fox News reporter named Carl Cameron of not knowing Africa was a continent, of being unable to name the members of NAFTA, indeed of being unable to name the countries of North America at all.Conservative Think Tank Admits U.S. is Center-Left (public)
The Center-Right Nation Exits Stage Left By Tod Lindberg/ Washington Post Sunday, November 16, 2008; B01 Here's the main thought Republicans are consoling themselves with these days: Notwithstanding President-elect Barack Obama, a nearly filibuster-proof Democratic majority in the Senate and the largest Democratic majority in the House of Representatives since 1993, the United States is still a center-right country. Sure, voters may be angry with Republicans now, but eventually, as the Bush years recede and the GOP modernizes its brand, a basically right-tilting electorate will come back home. Or, in the words of the animated rock band the Gorillaz, "I'm useless, but not for long/The future is comin' on."
