Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

So, I’m reading this article about the decline in male fertility. Unfortunately, lots of dudes are shooting blanks. Maybe the whole Beta-Metrosexual Male thing isn’t metaphorical–maybe it’s also literal. The big question: Is it nature or is it nurture? I expect it’s both. Anyway, the more interesting part of the article, was the UK’s health […]

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The Left constantly claims the mantle of being Pro-Women’s Rights. Yet, they prove time and time again that it is lip service only.

Here’s a Leftist Spin on Healthcare For You

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said that Obamacare is a ”momentous step toward comprehensive health care.” Implicit in that statement is that Obamacare isn’t finished and the left fully intends to up the ante even more as time goes on. But that isn’t the spin I announced in my headline. Here is something from the AFL-CIONowBlog […]

The New York Times (I will no longer refer to them as the F*sh Wrap, as that brings massive trackback spam) publishes a story that should have been in the humor section, rather than page A13 of the NY Edition: Baffled by Health Plan? So Are Some Lawmakers It is often said that the new […]
