SO. The U.N. tried to do this responsible, preventative thing by putting together a set of proposed international sex education guidelines, aimed at reducing H.I.V. infections among young people worldwide. Which, great, considering the following sobering facts:

A law change in England and Wales will now allow women in same-sex relationships to register both their names on the birth certificate of a child conceived as a result of fertility treatment. Female couples not in a civil partnership but receiving fertility treatment may also both be registered. The law is a great step [...]

Time magazine is reporting that for tobacco companies, Africa is the next great – and unsold – frontier. With relatively few smokers, and increasing disposable income (thanks in part to the commodity booms the continent has experienced over the last couple of years), Africa is a perfect market/target for the greedy tobacco industry. “In Ghana, [...]

Why do Democrats Hate Our Freedoms?
• Lawmakers are trying to curb TeeVee commercials for prescription drugs aimed at curing people of preposterous maladies like deficient eyelashes, restless leg syndrome, and male urinary urgency, that may cause obscene side effects like four-hour erections. (Because honestly, wouldn’t a four-hour erection cause urinary urgency and restless leg syndrome?) Maybe [...]

Roughly 74 percent of the 6 million or so jobs lost in this recession have been men’s, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a statistic which has resulted in the uptick of another one: relationship problems (and subsequent divorces). This because earning a living is still centrally tied to male self-esteem, since Tarzan still [...]

I’ve tried to steer clear of the “controversy” surrounding Surgeon General nominee Dr. Regina Benjamin, as a means of undermining, or at least, not furthering or validating the insanity of arguments pertaining to her weight. Because I don’t see what a person’s weight, color or sex have to do with their mental ability, at all, [...]

• Amnesty International accused Saudi Arabia today of using its campaign against terrorism as a facade for “a sustained assault on human rights.” Its report states thousands of people have been arrested and detain in virtual secrecy, while others have been killed in uncertain circumstances, following Saudi Arabia’s numerous counterterrorism measures since 9/11 which, combined with [...]

As if the debate over overhauling health care isn’t precarious enough, lawmakers (across party lines) now appear stuck on the abortion “issue.” House Reps as well as Senators are against voting for a health bill that includes abortion funding, claiming federal tax dollars should not be paying for abortion services. Because certain taxpayers might object. [...]
