yummy ripe naked women in the little pink slum!

finally the premium pays off...

can we get some G-on-G, too, while we're at it?

Perfectionism drives us mad. And our objects own us. Hence the unhappy homeowner.

So disown your objects and divest yourselves of their demands:

* Care not for granite countertops (you may still find god in formica)

* Remember that your mother cooked on a hot-plate (wasn't it great?)

* Forget about sky lights (there's a big one outside)

In short, discover the zen of living simple and paying rent. You might even find your happy husband again.

PEPCO tells you how much carbon dioxide your electricity consumption produced and the breakdown of its sources. This is a fantastic service. It's amazing to think that you've created many times your own weight in green house gases in only a year.

So what is China going to do with its treasuries?

I've long thought they might make us an offer on Taiwan. (It's not like we are in any position to stop them from taking it anyway. We can't afford another military operation like Iraq.)

And Alaska (which might work politicaly, since Dems drop 3 Republican votes, and Repubs get their hands on all that oil money).

They could also start financing mortgages (they already set the long term interest rates, who is better position to play the spreads?).

Far fetched, perhaps. But sooner or later they call in the debt. Either we give them real cash or we print it up. And the latter is economic suicide.

So, do you think they will settle for a our national parks and ten years worth of natural gas?

That's why PNG was made. Does anyone believe that though?

Limit it to premium users who actually pay for the content and can be restricted to a single vote each. This would be superior marketing research. But does Salon want to face the music?

P.S. The real market correction is in the stock. It's worth pennies. Most of Salon's net income recently is not from operations, but from selling options to rich daddy warbucks so they could show a big profit and let the door hit the departing CEO. It won't last.

(See Yahoo finance for insider actions for details).

That speaks for itself.

But this report may be pure propoganda. They didn't report how many boys were aborted! As far as we know, it was equal or more. With only half the facts, you get a half-baked conclusion at best.

Note: Fewer women does result in more males competing for them. That is well-studied. And it benefits women by greater committment from men. And society by having more families and fewer upheavals. The role of sex-ratio in culture is worth researching if you're going to opinionate publicly about it. Not that Broadsheet is much concerned about actual facts.

they pay for:

* poolboys

* marketing assistants

* pesonal coaches

* dance instructors

* limo drivers

* dentists

* home repairs

they want someone who is safe and clean with whom they have some kind of relationship. if they wanted oral sex on a street corner, there are more than enough homeless up for the job.

so my guess is the ranch will be very profitable, with lots of repeat business.

please feature andrew leanord instead.

One of the founders of Israel lays near his death and as the country prays for his recovery Salon publishes an inflammatory one-sided piece of propoganda by a well-known enemy of Israel under a graphic depicting the Israeli flag as a concentration camp.

Gee, isn't it fun to watch all the Jews get upset? Almost as much fun as poking men in the eye?

Salon defames liberalism with its Israel-hating Palestinian apologia and man-hating feminism. This is but one more example. Congratulations to the editors for embracing the nastiest quarters of the progressive party. I'm sure Dick and George thank you heartily.

most men have figured out that "dating" amounts to men groveling at the feet of women, buying them gifts, and hoping to get lucky, while women "make them wait" and try to determine their financial resources. it's demeaning for everyone.

so save the fancy dinners for a girl that deserves it, like one who already slept with you and finds you attractive. meet new women in no-cost environments like clubs and museums and thank your lucky stars that the gold-digging dinner whores will never get your number.

you ever look at the current routines they do? crotch-grabbing, ass-flashing, women-are-sex-objects to the core. it's very sad that women are supposed to think this way, and then suffer spinal injuries to boot.

it's demeaning and dangerous. so get rid of it. put the funds into dance or something more artful and safe

This is the crux of the problem. An ugly, disabled, or deformed person remains ugly, disabled, or deformed. And thus mostly spurned, unless surgery is an option.

Personality is shaped by genetics and upbringing -- not something that yields easily to will. Drugs might help, but at what cost?

By contrast, wealth and status may be obtained through effort, intelligence, and will, the ingredients of merit.

Thus an ugly or unpleasant man can more easily become rich and powerful, or at least wealthy and respected, than he can improve his appearance or personality. And his wealth and status will attract women who were not interested before.

The only trouble is that he will be well aware that the difference between yesterday and today -- the waitresses who smile, the bank tellers who are charmed, the former classmates who start calling, the co-workers who are suddenly bubbly -- is mostly his money.

Q.E.D: Men who wish to keep their wealth are wise to disregard whores -- "Dinner" and otherwise.
