...which religious leaders settle themselves; they refuse to acknowledge both older and more modern challenges to faith that Maher forces them to confront in an age when religion is the cause of so much turmoil, so much war, and, let’s face it, so much awkward porn. (Note: “Religulous” is rated R, and includes footage of white-robed and habit-clad porn stars sucking on each others’ nipples). Despite Maher’s characteristic self-absorption and hypocritical dogmatism, he clearly did his homework, and he proves to be an effective...
...write that Clinton, "simply has more God-given talent than any politician we've ever seen." You're not the first to note something like that, but you do offer some psychological reasons why.Think about the possibility of being both the smartest and the most empathic person in the room. These are traits that are completely independent of each other. That's like being both the smartest person in a room as well as the tallest. What are the odds of that? With Clinton, you have someone who is bright, energetic, empathic, extroverted, and curious. It's like a quintuple...
...researchers note that circumcision is no cure, and no substitute for safe-sex measures such as using condoms. Millett's analysis found that in studies conducted before 1996 - before the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy - circumcision was associated with a statistically significant 53% reduction in H.I.V.-transmission risk, which is on par with the 48% to 60% reduction in infection rates reported by the 2007 trials in Kenya, South Africa and Uganda that studied heterosexual men. After 1996, however, when antiretroviral (ARV) drugs turned H.I.V. into a condition that people lived with rather than died from, the protective effect...
...slow descent into the Looking Glass land that hurricanes create begins just south of Houston along Interstate Highway 45, the road to Galveston Island. The first odd note is the number of blown out billboards and signs. The gold has gone from the Golden Arches, the toll-free phone number on the billboard for the class action law firm has been torn and tossed to the wind. Then the blue tarps begin to appear, stretched taut over the rooftops of strip malls and apartment buildings...
...Obama's strategists have long believed that a stronger ground game could turn narrow Democratic losses of recent years into wins. They note that Al Gore never would have needed Florida if he had instead built an organization to turn out an average of 15 additional votes per precinct in Missouri. Team Obama is also vowing to register 75,000 new voters in Missouri - and voter rolls are indeed swelling, up by 200,000 so far, though the secretary of state's office doesn't keep track of how many are Democrats or Republicans...
