People on food stamps should NOT be buying expensive cuts of meats and other expensive items. IT should be rice/beans/vegetables/soy milk. Basic, basic, basic ONLY. While my friends and I have to eat cheaply and economically, I see women on food stamps get the most expensive food.

Actually they are quite restricted and not allowed to purchase anything from the deli counter. Of course to be truly economical it is better to buy basic commodities and not processed or frozen pre-prepared foods or baked goods, and perhaps this is what the writer is complaining about.

Soy milk? Please!

Men sexually are like microwaves and women are like crockpots...

Seems pretty good to me, if it means that men get heated quickly, but women need to stew in their own juices until tender,

but you have to remember that this is written for youngsters.

Actually most of our kids (here in FL) do know about condoms, but they just aren't all that easy to obtain discretely, not when that cashier in the supermarket is your friend's auntie.

And condoms aren't that great for contraception. If used correctly, of course, they will do the job, but in a long term or highly passionate relationship, sooner or later the supply will run out or be cast aside.

So, yeah, we are old fashioned in Florida. We tell the kids to do the right thing, and then it is their fault when they do as we do and not as we say.

We probably ought to adopt the California curriculum, in which youth are encouraged to experiment sexually with all the bodily orifices of their friends of both sexes so as to feel comfortable with their bodies. Some day we will get around to it, but for now we will just wallow in ignorance.

Right now I'm looking at a billboard advertising a hospital. It shows one black male doc in the foreground, three white female docs, an Asian woman doc, and, skulking in the background, one white male doc. I've been to this hospital, and I rather doubt the billboard accurately portrays the ethnic/gender mix of either the docs or the patients.

Maybe not, but if they are using real docs, then they probably had to shoot whoever was available at the time. Doctors are busy people.

Pictures of real patients are almost never used, so when you see pictures of patients at hospitals, they nearly always look awfully healthy.

I remember once seeing a poster that showed about 30 people of different ages and ethnicities, and asked the question:Which of these people is an alcoholic/.

Having looked at the photos carefully, my response was that none of them looked like alcoholics to me as they all had fresh, clear skin, appropriate weight, no signs of malnutrition, and no signs of cigarette smoking, which is very common in alcoholics.

However the question was a trick. The correct answer was that they were all alcoholics. The intention was to show that people could be alcoholics regardless of race or age, and presumably all the people shown were models who were probably not diagnosed alcoholics.

Here in Florida, I would say that there are relatively few white male doctors, and even less if you exclude Hispanic white male doctors.

... that they kept the American homeland safe from terrorist attacks since 9/11, but the anthrax attacks started after 9/11, so their claim is specious.

What does "hopped up" mean? That he smelled strongly of beer?

Limbaugh's real crimes are not what Joan says.

Coming back from the Dominican Republic with Viagra in bottles with someone else's name is really, really silly, because Viagra is available over the counter in the Dominican Republic without a prescription. So the crime here is stupidity and ignorance.

Calling Chelsea Clinton a dog, laughing at Parkinson's disease etc. are just indications again that he is a stupid dick, but then probably no worse than Howard Stern, Imus, or other radio jerks who, it is claimed, millions of people listen to.

His real crime is that he spews right-wing hate propaganda and ignorance on a radio show every day and influences others to do likewise, with the effect that any serious discussion of current affairs is completely excluded from the radio other than on NPR.

But it is wonderful that some people are regarding him as an important political figure, because it shows that the Republican Party is in such total disarray that people can talk about a completely unelectable, atavistic, stupid, ignorant, right-wing shock jock as being the closest thing the party has to a leader.

However, before we celebrate too much, we should remember that there are four years to the general election and by that time Limbaugh may not even exist.

This is actually evolution at work. Those bankers whose idiotic selfishness and recklessness has endangered the nature of our whole society are now finding it hard to get laid. Their genes will now wither and fall to the ground like autumn leaves.

Don't worry, the demand for womb fulfillment will be taken up by men working in health care professions who understand women very well (too well, perhaps), and who have no shortage of work opportunities.

Thus the next generation of men will inherit knowledge of child care, food preparation, and infection control, and so the human race will progress ever onwards and ever higher, and one day it will be disputed whether homo dowjones ever cross bred with homo sapiens.

... is a consequence of high testosterone levels, hence associated with sexual potency.
