Watch Me Go SoCon: Does Tiger Woods Really Affect My Social Life?

by Smitty I’m going to chock this up to my thick-headed inability to understand, but I really don’t get this (emphasis original): I’ve been shrieking this from the rooftops for years now: other women’s sexual choices affect my sexual and dating choices.

More Sex, Less Babies?

Reader Matt K. calls to my attention the compare-and-discuss juxtaposition of two items at Instapundit.

Underscoring The Wisdom Of The Founding Fathers

by Smitty As we approach the endgame on this administration, the clear winners: the Founding Fathers, who recognized the frailties of human nature and poured so much wisdom into the Constitution.
