"From day one we are saying that top cops should be suspended and the In

This is rich, literally.  John McCain, who married a beer heiress  (together, he and his wife reportedly have a net worth of $100 million) apparently accused Barack Obama of being "insensitive" to poor people.  Obama can take care of himself on this one–he quite rightly pointed out that the flip-flopping McCain has now decided that he wants to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, hardly qualifying him as an advocate for the downtrodden.  (McCain reportedly "deflected" questions about his hypocrisy on this point.)  However, it's worth recognizing the utter absurdity of McCain's attack. As evidence of Obama's insensitivity to the poor, McCain cited the capital gains tax, saying 100 million Americans would be hurt by an increase.  This incorrect statement has been debunke

In June, a Glamour Magazine staffer was a speaker at a law firm’s Woman’s Working Group Meeting. She was asked to discuss corporate dress. The Glamour staffer proceeded to conduct a presentation, where the first slide in the presentation featured a black female executive wearing an Afro. According to a quote in The American Lawyer, the Glamour staffer said that “it was shocking that some people still think it appropriate to wear those hairstyles at the office. No offense ... but those political hairstyles really have to go." In summary, the Glamour staffer said that afros were a “Glamour Don’t!”Glamour Magazine posted a Letter from the Editor in response to the overwhelmingly negative attention the magazine received, once news of the comments spread over the Internet. Apparently, Glamour Magazine did not know that this staffer was invited to speak at the meeting and that she was attending as a representative of Glamour magazine. Part of Glamour’s response included this:Ma

Dave returned from a doctor’s visit one day and told his wife Doreen that the doctor said he only had 24 hours to live. Wiping away her tears, he asked her to make love with him. Of course she agreed and they made passionate love. Six hours later, Dave went to her again, and said, “Honey, now I only have 18 hours left to live. Maybe we could make love again?” Doreen agreed and again they made love. Later, Dave was getting into bed when he realized he now had only eight hours of life left. He touched Doreen’s shoulder and said, “Honey? Please? Just one more time before I die.” She agreed, then afterward she rolled over and fell asleep. Dave, however, heard the clock ticking in his head, and he tossed and turned until he was down to only four more hours. He tapped his wife on the shoulder to wake her up. “Honey, I only have four hours left! Could we…?” His wife sat up abruptly, turned to him and said, “Listen Dave, I have to ge
