The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Rebecca Watson: ‘Stop Sexualizing Me!’

This was originally going to be titled, “Agreeing With Richard Dawkins,” because one of the world’s most notorious Darwinists has offended feminists by telling them that there are worse things than being propositioned in a hotel elevator. But then I saw the video in which the atheist chick at the epicenter of this controversy made [...]

Al Gore, Population Control Expert

“One of the things we could do about [global warming] is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can [...]

Science Gone Wrong

Instapundit’s enthusiasm for all things scientific leads him to write this headline: MORE WOMEN ARE freezing their eggs to make babies later. Makes sense. Well, excuse me for disagreeing. It is a preposterously stupid idea to encourage women deliberately to postpone first-time motherhood until they are middle-aged, without concern for the obvious arguments against such a decision. For [...]

Sex + Coffee = DEATH?

We are so doomed: If you have a brain aneurysm, drinking coffee, having sex or even getting angry may boost the risk of it rupturing, a new study suggests. One day, you’ll be having a nice cup of coffee, relaxing after sex, and your brain will just explode all over the place, like in Scanners [...]

Chubby Chasers!

A researcher who analyzed Internet search data about . . . uh, online erotica reports that guys like women with more to love: [M]en prefer overweight women to underweight women. There are almost three times as many searches for fat women as there are for skinny women, and lest you think that’s some way we treated the search [...]

Bigger Breasts: By Any Means Necessary?

Professor Glenn Reynolds has called our attention to a New York Times story reporting that breast-enhancement surgery is becoming more and more popular — a 40% increase in the number of such surgeries during the past decade, with more than 300,000 women undergoing such procedures in 2010. While I have not consulted my colleague Dan Collins [...]

My Health Secret, Revealed!

People have often asked me, “Stacy, how is it that you eat such a horrible diet of junk food, you smoke, drink, consume vast quantities of coffee, and have never jogged or worked out, and yet you remain so slim, vigorous and full of energy at your age?” Now my secret has been discovered: A study says [...]

Six Days and a Rib

Expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Paradise, Alexandre Cabanel, 1863 Perhaps seeking to stir the pot in Allahpundit’s absence, Jazz Shaw put up a Hot Air post entitled, “Evolution, Creation and Politics,” to which I appended a comment: I’m a six-days-and-a-rib kind of guy — a fundamentalist Bible-thumper — because (a) the [...]

The Economics of Love

That’s when she told me a story About free milk and a cow. She said, ‘No hugging, no kissing Until I get a wedding vow . . .’ Research affirms old-fashioned common sense: As women progress in educational and professional opportunities, their odds of finding a committed man appear to go down. That’s one of [...]

If You Were Asked to Name a Two-Word Phrase You Never Want to Read …

. . . I’m pretty sure “anal cancer” would be near the top of your list: U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of Gardasil (human papillomavirus vaccine) has been widened to include prevention of anal cancer and associated precancerous lesions, the agency said in a news release. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with about 90% [...]

Science Proves I’m a Genius

As if any further proof were needed: Researchers from the London School of Economics say that human beings used to all be day-oriented, and that eveningness is an “evolutionarily novel preference” made by people with “a higher level of cognitive complexity.” Basically, smart people evolve to stay up later. . . . On the other [...]

Research Proves Christine O’Donnell Is Correct Again (With a Cherry on Top!)

An Australian researcher crunches the numbers and determines that the number of premarital sexual partners is directly correlated with the incidence of divorce. Which is to say, the more you screw around before marriage, the greater likelihood your marriage will end in divorce. And in terms of marital stability, the ideal number of pre-marital partners is [...]
