It also used to rationalize treating women like a lower, less intelligent race. Thank God that’s over, right? We may not get a diagnosis anymore, but we’re not sure the perception of women has necessarily taken such great strides. Just take a look at movies and TV shows: We’re still bawling, melting down, and burdening others with hysterical outbursts. Hardly empowering. Don Draper’s outburst on last week’s episode of Mad Men got lots of attention: One teary scene led to an entire Internet meme, complete with a a new blog: Sad Don Draper. Everyone stopped in their tracks at the hilarity of a grown man crying on television, but the women sobbing in our gallery (and countless TV shows and movies) hardly g...

I spent part of mine watching the 2006 movie Marie Antoinette. It wasn’t the best of the bunch, but it did move me. It got me thinking about a time when women had little power and control over their own lives. When things were decided for you and the world, in general, was chaotic and out of control. Watching the movie made me grateful for the time that we’re living in now. Yes, it is still chaotic and unpredictable. But for us fortunate ones, we have a lot more control over our emotions, perceptions and our well-being today than we did in the past. If you’re having some difficulty with getting control over these three, don’t worry because this week’s top posts are all about gaining control of your life. You’ll learn how...

Child Protective Services took custody of the kids for a month, and the couple, who were never charged, spent $75,000 on legal fees. Now the Demarees are suing both the state of Arizona and Wal-Mart. The Demarees’ lawyer released a photo, available at the San Francisco Chronicle Web site… Read the rest on AOL: Demarees to Wal-Mart: Get Ready for Your Bath. Posted in Woman U...

"All that heavy breathing releases tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere," Dr, Raymond Sunburn, the head of the Aspen/Davos Collective's think tank, Keep Earth Cool, said today. Sunburn, who earned the world's first Ph.D. in biospheric computer modeling studies, added, "Our computer models show that if people don't reduce their rate of intercourse and heavy petting to, at most, once a month, the polar bears will become extinct by 2050."When asked what people should do who get "pent up," the ironically named Dr. Sunburn said, "Take a cold shower. In that way, you both avoid using more than your fair share of exhales and you save the earth by heating less water....

It shows the rate dropped by about 5 percent […] from 1,983 suicides in 2004 to 1,883 in 2005. You’d think everyone would be happy with such a drop, but no, people commenting on the study in the article continue to express caution, despite the decline. Also not surprising is the lack of anyone drawing any type of causal relationships in the article tied to the suicide rate decline. When things go badly, everyone looks to point fingers at a cause.

It snows in Cleveland. Sometimes it snows in early March in Cleveland. We're getting a lot of snow now, and there's a shortage of road salt. Actually, there's tons of the bloody stuff, it's just below Lake Erie and it needs to be dug up and brought up.The house has new storms, I have a fireplace and a new boiler with a pilot light. I'm making bread, I've got loads of tea, the cats are all sleeping on the laundry, and I just went to the West Point Market, so I've got supplies. The only thing I lack is canned cat food, but there's plenty of dry and I've got tinned chicken. Yeah. Like they're suffering.But on the news, people are reacting like it's the last days of Pompeii.

Therefore, I am not going to further their traffic by linking back to them. They're just counting hits, not reading what the referrers say. Y'all also already know that ASAN is organizing all sorts of stuff against this horrid campaign.You ALSO probably know that the people defending it-namely those in charge of the shock ya for ya dollah ads-are saying it is OK that it pisses off most of the people who both see it AND are acquainted with a clue because "it raises awareness".Ah, awareness.

But...here we are at the beginning of another Department of Developmental Services quarter and we've just received another report from the DDS showing how many of each sort of clients they served the previous quarter. These quarterly reports have been used by Rick Rollens for a few years now to promote a non-existent autism epidemic. And predictably Rollens has found a way to spin the new numbers into another dire warning of impending autistic doom and devastation.According to information released this week by California's Department of Developmental Services (DDS) during the second quarter of 2007 (April - June) California added a record 961 new cases of autism to it's developmental services system.
