Minister's rape comment sparks row--Yeah, so many women are willing to be raped.

White House reporter's credentials questioned--I was honestly taken aback when I witnessed during President Bush's press conference last month this man end a question saying Democrats were "divorced from reality." (Check out this link for a pic with Gannon/Guckert in an, um, alternative picture.)

Pain from a woman will hurt less: study

The Talon News story has been discussed on Al Franken's radio show a couple time.

I wasn't taken aback - there's nothing that would surprise me at this point about the Bush Administration's attempt to buy news coverage.

How long ago was Franken reporting on it? Keith Olbermann on MSNBC did a piece on it last night, too.

Somehow, considering the man's looks, I can see a spoof on MadTV coming up in the future. He's a dead ringer for one of their regulars.

He was talking about it Tuesday, and I believe they mentioned it in passing on Monday.

"What the donors are doing is like raping a woman who is already willing,"

Umm, I'm not even sure what was MEANT by this comment. By definition, you can't rape the willing. It's axiomatic. Is that what he was saying, in a backwards way? I think I'm missing something here.

Raping the willing is pointless violence by the sadistic, to obtain something that was being willingly offered.

His comment was not, in and of itself, misogynistic.
