...doesn’t worry too much about the ideological implications of his product. “[Diamond is] not really artsy, but I wouldn’t call it porn,” he said. “But who really cares?” Overall, Di Pasquale considers Harvard to be quite liberal in its acceptance of sex. And University censorship? Di Pasquale doesn’t think it’s a problem: “According to the First Amendment, they don’t limit speech and stuff...
...latest product of Gaga’s shift in the craziness spectrum is the video for “Telephone,” which succeeds in surpassing even the imagery- and blood-strewn performance from the MTV Video Music Awards as the pinnacle of her avant-garde weirdness.

From businesses that have been crushed by rising health care costs to pharmaceutical companies cleverly co-opted by the White House early on in the process; from the doctors' organizations (including the American Medical Association) that endorsed the final product to, yes, even the vilified insurance companies - none of these entities are going to join the charge to reverse the new reality of U.S. health care, and many will make it clear that they are resigned to or are actually in favor of the apparently inevitable conclusion...
