Mitt Romney
R-MONEY: Vote for him 'cause he's swimming in dough?

Writer Says Women Should Vote For Romney Because He's Filthy Rich

Good luck with that.

Kevin D. Williamson's article starts with the premise that women — even Michelle Obama! — must elect Romney because he's blinged-out rich, and of course women are attracted to status — while men go for youth and fertility. Then he goes on for a couple more unbearable, rambling pages.

Avoidance or Awareness: How Do You Live?

Avoidance or Awareness: How Do You Live?

“Avoidance works but Awareness works better and is in the direction of Evolution.” Marilyn Ferguson

Dr. Lynda Klau Years ago I read that sentence in an inspirational book by Marilyn Ferguson called “The Aquarian Conspiracy.” There are some lines that you hear once and never forget.

What Rush Limbaugh Can Learn From Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt teaches Rush Limbaugh about human dignity and respect. Time to evolve, guy!

You’ve come a long way, baby! Seventy-eight million of us baby boomers who grew up in United States during the 1970s remember this slogan as an iconographic hallmark from the feminist movement, an unofficial benchmark signifying that women were emancipated and free (if you considered smoking and wearing pants the epitome of freedom). And while it might make us feel good forty years later to think we’ve come a long way, baby, thank you, Rush Limbaugh, I can’t say with any real confidence that we have.

Typical Man: 'I'm Broke, So Let Me Get Everyone I Can Pregnant!'

And then it's up to the ladies to disinfect the Smush Room. Life is so fair!

Maybe it's because I'm a woman, but when I was recently faced with economic hardship (being a recent college graduate with no job), the last thing I could think about was knocking boots.

Apparently, human women aren't the only ones down for the bad-boy ride. Penguins love them too...

It's a well-known (and somewhat sad and annoying) fact that us gals like to go for bad boys.

Turns out, this phenomenon is alive and well in the penguin community too!
