O.K., I have to admit I really don’t get strippers and prostitutes and lap dances and all that stuff, but I’m female so there you go. I mean, how do you pay for it and keep up the illusion in your mind that there’s anything but contemptuous nose-holding disdain going on in the mind of […]

Last week, Laura Schlessinger showed us again what a PhD in physiology has taught her about what makes people tick. Here is her take on what drove former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer to cheat on his wife, Silda, with high-priced hookers:
“When the wife does not focus in on the needs and the […]

It had to happen, I suppose. A dizzying array of “Client 9″ themed t-shirts are already available online. Man, that was fast! Here’s a very rude sample.

“I’m not only the Governor, I’m also a client.”
Spitzer? I don’t even know her!
Eliot Mess
I’d swallow for Spitzer
Spitzer: Done in a New York minute.
Now serving Client #10

Best wishes to the House’s newest newlyweds, Florida Rep. Connie Mack IV (R-Naples), and California Rep. Mary Bono (R-Palm Springs).

Mike Huckabee and his wife Janet were among 131 signers of an advertisement opposing same sex marriage and in support of a resolution enacted by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) earlier that year that erroneously suggested that prototypical 1950s-era “Ozzie and Harriet” style marriage and family life had its origins in […]

In response to the article I posted today describing a couple of innovative and important proposals for saving the institution of marriage — criminalizing adultery and de-licensing marriages that do not produce children — a Christian conservative wrote a rather lengthy response that caught my attention.
If you have mowed the lawn, stopped by the […]

The traditional media may be interested almost exclusively in the sex lives of Democratic politicians, but on the hypocrisy index, it is hard to score higher than Republicans pontificating about saving the institution of marriage while so many of their leaders are serial and long-time adulterers:
1. President George H.W. Bush allegedly had an LTR […]

This week the Republicans who run the nation are undertaking another cynical attack on the issue of gay marriage. As a wedge issue that enflames the GOP’s homobigot base, same sex marriage has occasionally returned dividends. In fact, conventional wisdom has it that an anti-gay initiative on the Ohio ballot in 2004 tipped the state […]
