Sumarlidr, I think that's a great book too. In fact, we reviewed it on this site. Check out the review here and feel free to add your own comments beneath it!

One for the good guys, at least:

The best book I've ever read on children and sexuality is

Everything You Never Wanted Your Kids to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid They’d Ask) by Justin Richardson and Mark A. Schuster.

I really can't recommend it highly enough. And just as an aside, "science-based"??? All of a sudden REALITY has a new, highly-politicized name. Let's not fall into that trap!

Peace,

I've often wondered

much the same thing.

Nothing insideous per se, just that I wonder if the men behind the media are performing a bit of informal experimentation to see just how much influence they have over the American public.

I have to admit that in that position I'd be sorely tempted just by curiosity.

Candidate photos tell you something

about who the press likes and doesn't like I think. Those photos are linked from the ABC News site. I've noticed lots of unflattering photos lately. Can't be an accident, can it? I wonder if somebody has done any study of this. I wonder if you can pick the favorite -- or even the likely winner -- by counting the ratio of flattering to unflattering photos. Just a thought...

Oh and by the way

Really nice job choosing those two pictures. How did you manage to get them both T totally drunk at the same time?

Romney's Mouthpiece

"We had not awareness, no input and certainly did not promote these curriculum frameworks," said Fehrnstrom, who served as Romney's communications director all four years that he was governor.

Considering that he spent four years as governor and knew exactly nothing about this basic part of the Commonwealth's curriculum, the rest should not be surprising.

My question to the former governor would be, "Was it incompetence or willful blindness?"

I find it inconceivable that a former governor who is apparently so ignorant of the educational policies of his jurisdiction is even being considered for the Oval Office.

Further, his audacity in even discussing the issue when he has demonstrated such glaring ignorance is galling.

It really speaks to the priorities of the country that this man is an even remotely viable candidate.
