Dianne Feinstein, the head of the ...
A new study backs up what feminists have been saying for approximately ever about the relationship between drinking and rape. Namely, that alcohol-despite its impressive powers-neither magically turns well-meaning kids into sexual aggressors nor makes everything so topsy turvy that nobody has any clue what consent is and if they have it or gave it.

Somebody is going to have to explain to me why the Democratic "base," which is presumably younger and more spry than the older and whiter Republican "base," is nonetheless less likely to turn out for midterm elections than the That Sean Hannity Reminds Me Of My Grandson crowd. It is taken as a given, and past performance indicates clearly that it's usually the ...
UPDATE: I noticed that Charles already posted about this on the front page. littlegreenfootballs.com In some cases the NSA has masqueraded as a fake Facebook server, using the social media site as a launching pad to infect a target's computer and exfiltrate files from a hard drive.

Buy ten Macs and get the eleventh Mac free. (Mac must be of equal ...
For many years the hallmark of a well maintained home was the golf course green trimming of the yard and paved walkways surrounded by meticulously trimmed bushes in geometric patterns. Flowers and plants were selected based on carefully conceived color coordination with garden furniture and it seemed that the goal was to make the lawn look as artificial as possible. This look was ...
I am unimpressed by his neutrality. IMHO he needs to step up and speak for the independence and strength of the oversight panel. The agency must be seen and be forced to act under, not apart from that authority. I'm no fan of Nancy Pelosi, but I'd like to see Obama watch her back for the sake of checks and balances. I must admit ...

Psychologists have understood that people prefer things they've experienced before at least since Robert Zajonc first demonstrated the 'mere exposure effect' in the 1960s.
