| Jamie Frevele: Real Klassy: Juvenile Attacks on Idol's Easy Targets
To be perfectly clear, I am in no way saying that American Idol is a blameless, holy creature that should be immune to criticism and jokes at its expense. Anyone involved in the show can easily provide fodder for days, only to refresh their invitation the following week. And if I'm wrong in my following assessment, I apologize ahead of time and stand corrected. But I have a serious beef with "comedy writer" Ken Levine this week. In two short paragraphs, he knocked Carly Smithson's heavily tattooed husband and David Archuleta's sexuality, clearly taking cues from bone-headed high school jocks who can't handle someone who doesn't fit their mold. But that is the cheapest form of comedy, isn't it? First, Carly Smithson: I loved Carly Smithson's version of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Ron Paul is Still Running
For those who have access to computers, and for those Americans who are seekers of truth, go to www.infowars.com It is an eye-opener for those who are deceived by our controlled zionist mainstream media. We have 3 so-called Presidential choices in 2008. Truth is, Ron Paul is still running. But our mainstream, controlled media don't let the masses know it. Ron Paul is for freedom, of which we are losing. We have McCain who was a VietNam POW and a hero to many. He is owned by the New World Order elite. Remember the scandal "Keating 5" and when real American heroes who fought in 'Nam went to him and John Kerry about POW's left over there? Both Kerry and McCain shoved their cries under the carpet! Plus, McCain's votes while in office have a lot to say about him. We have Hillary Clinton, of the lying, scandalous Clinton Administration.

She said she suffered a black eye and bruises.

Gender and agendas
This is a fascinating and complex book, highly controversial and often infuriating, in which the Canadian developmental psychologist Susan Pinker attempts to draw together all the evidence proving that there are vast gender differences. Pinker's premise can be misread in various ways, but it is not quite as bad as it initially sounds. She argues that men and women have been sold short in recent decades thanks to the feminist movement's assertion that the sexes are basically the same. Her aim, however, is not reactionary. She claims that by respecting gender difference, we can make life fairer and easier for men and women alike, instead of labouring under what she sees as a politically correct pretence. Pinker uses an uneasy mixture of biology, psychology and sociology to argue her case.
Schering-Plough Announces Imperfect Contraceptive Use Impacts Women's Emotional Well-Being
Schering-Plough Corporation announced results of a recently completed study showing that non-compliance with combined hormonal contraceptives has noticeable effects on women's emotional well-being, prompted requests for physicians' advice and led to increased use of emergency contraception. Results were presented in Madrid, Spain, and were published earlier this month in Contraception.
The cross-sectional, multi center study was designed to assess the self-described impact of noncompliant behavior among 26,250 current users, aged 18 to 49, of three combined hormonal contraceptive methods, the combined pill, the skin patch and NUVARING(R) (etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring), the vaginal ring.
"The study included questions about attitudes and psychological impact of inconsistent use of the contraceptive method when confronted with noncompliant behavior, an issue that has been poorly characterized in previous studies," commented Dr Inaki Lete, Hospital Santiago Apostol, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain and lead investigator.
