Polygamous Sect Children to Get DNA Tests
More than 400 children taken from a polygamous group's Texas ranch will undergo DNA testing this week. It's an attempt to determine who their parents are and if any sexual abuse took place. Officials plan to begin taking DNA samples Monday at the coliseum in San Angelo where the children are being housed. They may need three or four days to complete the job. 1 Comment
Last week I polled you about Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Jason Segel, who most of you said you would marry. Then I realized that cutie-pie Paul Rudd also has a bit part in the movie! I've thought he was dreamy ever since he starred as Josh in Clueless; do you agree? Cast your vote below.
Until last week, legal experts doubted George W. Bush, or anyone in his administration, would face criminal charges after his presidency finished.
But, revelations that top Bush administration officials participated in explicit conversations in the White House regarding torture techniques to be used on suspected terrorists have these experts taking a second look.
Presidential candidate Barack Obama has promised he would have his justice department investigate the Bush administration for war crimes — but seeks a balance between pursuing justice and orchestrating a finger-pointing circus. Obama said,
What I would want to do is to have my Justice Department and my Attorney General immediately review the information that's already there and to find out are there inquiries that need to be pursued. I can't prejudge that because we don't have access to all the material right now. I think that you are right, if crimes have been committed, they should be investigated. You're also right that I would not want my first term consumed by what was perceived on the part of Republicans as a partisan witch hunt because I think we've got too many problems we've got to solve.
So what do you think? Should the country move on, and let the commuted Scooter Libby be the sole (symbolic) legal casualty of Bush's scandals? Are investigations even necessary?
Reflecting back on this morning's overcrowded public transportation nightmare, I have to wonder: Is it wrong to be jealous of a toddler? This ride is cute, compact, environmentally friendly, and it even has a drink holder! (For my daily cup of coffee. Of course.) Then there's the sound system . . .
Michael Moore Endorses Obama, Calls Clinton Tactics "Disgusting" Michael Moore endorses Obama in a commentary on his site: "Over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw." 9 Comments
A while back, I discussed whether or not it was safe to get only four periods a year by using Seasonale birth control pills. It is safe, and here's why: When you take the week of sugar pills while on birth control, the period you get isn't a real period, since the hormones prevent you from ovulating and you're not releasing an egg. It's actually a pill period, and it is your body's reaction to the withdrawal of hormones. Having a pill period every month is just as safe as having one every three months.
OK, but what about having no periods at all? The birth control pill Lybrel is all over this idea. For the details, read more
Babies and kittens and pups, oh my! That's right. How miserable can a Monday morning be after I serve up this "sampler" of the house specialty. That is, lotsa, lotsa interspecies lovin'!
