I decided to share this in the US Politics thread, as well, because from my perspective it is a subject that should be discussed. The current health reform bill debates are hotly discussing abortion, with the understanding that the next item on the chopping block is contraception (at least from certain groups *sigh*) -- but funny this...vasectomies were not mentioned. While this article is informative in nature, the political question was one that I continued to ponder from a different scope than I addressed within the article. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

I strongly suspect that is a greater likelihood, actually. Birth control, like everything related to pregnancy, has pretty much been consigned to women since the dawn of time. *shrug* Funny, though, how little a vasectomy actually changes *anything* in a man...(pun unintended)...the ONLY thing it changes is sperm-ability to escape the body...lol - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

"The rest of that Easter was spent under siege. Insurgents held off Bravo Company, which was called in to rescue the men in the compound. Ammunition ran low. A helicopter tried to drop more but missed. As dusk fell, the men prepared four Bradley Fighting Vehicles for a “run and gun” to draw fire away from the compound. Humphrey headed down from the roof to get a briefing. He found his lieutenant, John D. DeGiulio, with a couple of sergeants. They were snickering like schoolboys. They had commissioned the Special Forces interpreter, an Iraqi from Texas, to paint a legend across their Bradley’s armor, in giant red Arabic script. “What’s it mean?” asked Humphrey. “Jesus killed Mohammed,” one of the men told him. The soldiers guffawed. JESUS KILLED MOHAMMED was about to cruise into the Iraqi night. The Bradley, a tracked “tank killer” armed with a cannon and missiles—to most eyes, indistinguishable from a tank itself—rolled out. The Iraqi interpreter took to the roof, bullhorn in hand.... more... - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

"I read the versions of the House [health reform] bill. I listened to the countless stories of Orleans and Jefferson Parish citizens whose health care costs are exploding — if they are able to obtain health care at all. Louisianans needs real options for primary care, for mental health care, and for expanded health care for seniors and children. [...] I have always said that I would put aside partisan wrangling to do the business of the people. My vote tonight was based on my priority of doing what is best for my constituents." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

I, for one, have tremendous respect for the man. He is more of a maverick than McCain ever could hope to be. Good fo Cao to not toe/tow (?) the party line and for flushing out the hysterical racists in his party. - Rene Wirtz

"Travelers looking for bargains on winter and spring vacations may want to act now: Those recession-era travel deals we have gotten used to are likely as good as they'll get. For the past year or so, many travelers have become accustomed to seeing hotel and resort rates progressively plummet. Savvy consumers waited until the last minute to snatch the deepest discounts. But, now, industry watchers say hotels and resorts have unloaded their sweetest offers early and hotel prices are likely to stay relatively stable during the next few months. By the middle of next year, they may even start to inch up. "I think we may have hit bottom," says Jan Freitag, vice president at Smith Travel Research. "There will still be deals permeating the general environment" in 2010, he says. "But they are not here to stay" throughout next year. But now there is a plethora of discounts for peak holiday and spring travel. Some of the best offers are in Mexico, where fears of the H1N1 flu are still damping... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Some hotels are unloading deals earlier than usual, in an attempt to train travelers not to procrastinate. Through November, Marriott is offering 40% off at several hotels in the Caribbean, Mexico and Costa Rica for travel from Jan. 1 to April 30. The deal is designed to "generate advance bookings," says Chris Holter, regional vice president of revenue strategy for Marriott... more... - RAPatton

"Michael Ledeen is one of the most dishonest and ludicrous jokes on the political scene. Will that stop George Stephanopoulos from using Ledeen as an expert source on Iran? No, of course not, because once one obtains Seriousness credentials in Washington, they are irrevocable no matter one's conduct (other than petty sex scandals), and journalism is the most accountability-free profession that exists (which is how the person who did this, this and this can still be considered one of the nation's leading "experts" on the Middle East)." - Sean McBride from Bookmarklet

"Canon's EOS 7D has already become one of the most talked-about DSLRs of 2009. Ahead of our full review, we're pleased to present our High ISO Noise results page, which compares the EOS 7D's output against the EOS 50D, EOS 5D Mark II and the Nikon D300s." - Andrew Terry

I was at the store today and played with the 7D for a bit. It was interesting. Liked the viewfinder. Nice frames per second. *very* loud shutter though!!! - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

I wouldn't mind coming on a shopping trip like that. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Awkward. We tested a million mattresses (not with the sexmaking though) and ended up buying a beautyrest. I still love it. - Sumotuwe

"Everyone who's been complaining that Dollhouse pulled a bait-and-switch, showing us a post-apocalyptic world at the end of season one, then failing to revisit it in season two: quitcher bitchin'. We saw the roots of that dystopia last night. Oh, and this is your spoiler warning: I'm going to assume you saw last night's episode already. If you haven't, go and watch it. Twice. Dollhouse must have been testing our faith on purpose. I went into season two convinced this was one of the all-time great TV shows, exploring thorny issues of gender, power and identity in a way that few other shows ever manage to hint at. And then the season's first two episodes left me wondering if I'd just been hallucinating. Last week's serial killer/Chaucer mash-up was a huge leap in the right direction — but last night's episode, "Belonging," was the real thing. I totally apologize for saying Glee is better than Dollhouse. So yes, this was definitely a prequel to the unaired "mindwiped Mad Max" episode,... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

I see your point, but that's assuming that they think giving him a human being is a big deal. Adelle clearly knows, but she was conflicted from the beginning. The question is if Rossum knows and if so, do they gain anything by his death. - mikepk
