...invite their friends to buy X-rated products at home events. Passion Parties is a 10-year-old company with $20 million in sales whose slogan is Where Every Day Is Valentine's Day. Every day also seems to require a package of AA batteries that would make Costco blush. I quickly learned some very unspicing lessons, like that women hate to give oral sex and aren't all that fond of men in general, which is ironic, since they like absolutely anything vaguely shaped like a man's genitals. There was a lot of giggling and passing stuff around...
...managed democracy.” In this nice little arrangement, the Russian president and the party he supports submit to relatively free democratic elections, but use state control over procedure and the media to push for electoral success. Some of the dirty tricks they perpetrate would make Richard Nixon blush, such as forcing government employees to actively campaign for the president’s favored party and limiting the opposition’s access to television time...
While a retiring rapper seems like a particularly absurd joke ("Most rappers get up at 5 p.m. anyway," laughs Jay-Z) and the marketing tie-ins surrounding The Black Album would make George Lucas blush, Jay-Z is taking his departing moment seriously, in part because it was brought on by a serious moment.

The elimination of analogies may exacerbate the black-white SAT score gap, since the gap is somewhat smaller on the analogy section than on the test as a whole, according...
Ross raises a legitimate point; Paris Hilton is vacuous. She appears to have eating disorders that have yet to be documented, and she’s reportedly racking up enough bedside notches to make even Wilt Chamberlain blush. But I have a confession: her outfits make me want to do a cartwheel. If I had to die and be reincarnated, I probably would come back either as Jesus or as one of Paris Hilton’s handbags. So let’s forget about brunette Alice Walton, Wal-Mart heiress and divorcee, who probably spends her Friday nights...
