This is one of those balance things.  There is also a big lie here: women like sex too!  Last I checked we all are built on the same platform and at its root is a very basic drive to reproduce.  We also know that for both parties there are homones and stuff that help make the relationship better. 
Advice to both sides - give a little and get a little.  Doesn't matter what is being traded, just trade.

This is really quite beyond me.  There is a presuposition that what he was doing had a good intention for him.  But I'm not clear on what he got out of any of those actions.  It's sad in its own way.  I'm glad nobody else was hurt.

Tasty.  Poor little guy has quite a conundrum. 
Here is what is so damn funny about all this mess - I've been hearing about how much better the Dems are when compared to the Reps.  Really?  So far I just see scum bag politicians on both sides.  Maybe I'm missing something...probably.

yes to the first, no to the second.

Didnt notice sense I was home all day and didnt have a chance to use my zune.  OVerall I'm really happy with the stupid little thing.  However, what I like best is the Zune subscription service.  It's nice being able to go load up my library with whatever I'm in the mood for.
Right now I'm building a trance/ambient playlist.  The heavy metal, rap, and other stuff I listen to is occasionally distracting.  Like when I'm reading.  Trance and ambient are great at these times because they just provide background sound that I can float along with.  Probably not good for riding the motorcycle though.....will stick to heavy metal for that.

I had higher expectations for Sarkozy.  Oh well, he's French, what did I expect?  A cowboy?

I think this will be excellent for New Mexico's economy over the next decade.  I hope it generates a *** load of ventures, startups and other wild eyed star trek like stuff.

Just more reason to reform our corrupt, bueracratic government.  It might be better than the rest, but that isn't good enough.

the pictures in the story are quite startling.    And here I thought "A Clockwork Orange" was just a movie.  I didnt realize it was one of those reality shows.  However, these are Brits, the people who bring us Soccer hooligans so maybe this is normal.
