State of Anxiety– I mean Union
No real surprises in Bush’s State of the Union speech, except his new compassion for AIDS sufferers in Africa. That was a complete (and welcome) reversal of his previous statements and actions. I knew a few days earlier that he was going to promote hydrogen fuel cells (my 9-5 is for a research center that among other things does hydrogen research). However, as much as I love the idea of money for hydrogen for vehicles, I think that tightening the CAFE
standards for vehicles (and 2 axle trucks) would accomplish more in a shorter amount of time.
For an interesting comparison of last night’s speech to Bush’s previous record, check out Right Wing Slayer. Interesting.
And now for something completely different
Terry Jones of Monty Python fame, has penned a parody of Bush’s Iraqi policy, at Counter
Punch. In it, Terry has ‘lost patience’ with his neighbor who gives him queer looks and he has decided that another neighbor is a mass murderer. Of course Terry feels he has to take matters into his own hands. I laughed, even as I was shaking my head and wondering at our national stupidity.
Thanks Rob for pointing me to this one!
We just need better sex!
Dr. Shere Hite, author of the Hite Report on female sexuality has spoken
out against the pharmaceutical companies that are trying to create a market for Viagra-like products for women. In it, she states that women do not need a drug to make them more receptive to sex, they just need their partners to be more informed of what turns them on!
“The overwhelming majority of women, according to my research, can have orgasms easily during masturbation..........the stimulation women give themselves to reach orgasm is radically different from the stimulation most women received during coitus.”
Dr. Hite is afraid that drug companies that set out to ‘solve the problem of female orgasmic dysfunction’ by using a drug that increases readiness but does nothing to solve the underlying problem, risk making matters worse for the women and their relationships. She concludes by saying:
“Women know how to have orgasms but do not feel free to express this during sex with men. It’s not arousal pills we need, but a whole new kind of physical relations with each other.”
Hmmmm.....seems communication is the key. And of course the lesbian answer would be that having the same anatomy helps the understanding and communication immensely!
A name is a name is a.....
Last Saturday, The Raven extended a welcome to some of the new players here at Salonblogs, specifically myself and Michelle at Sexy Mothers Do Exist.
Thanks for the welcome, the increase in traffic, and the suggestions! However, I’m sorry if you think my site is ‘jejunishly monikered’. I like it, those who know me would agree that it suits me, and I think it will help women find me who are looking for a lesbian blog. However, I wonder if you think my title/site lacks ‘interest’ or ‘maturity’...or
were you just using your word for the day?
