Have you ever wondered in what way are women like the computers we have at home? Here, I show you how.

As if the Bush administration didn’t have enough troubles in Iraq, now there’s been a demonstration in Baghdaddy by hundreds of thousands of Shiite Muslims which featured such deeply religious themes as calls of “Death to America!” Since it was staged in response to Israel’s attempt to stave off more terrorist events in its homeland, there were also the usual highly religious calls of “Death to Israel!” If we did not know the calculating anti-American cleric Moktada al-...

While browsing the philosophy section in a quaint and generally inaccessible bookshop, we came across a miniature tome we might have missed in conning the long shelves of a megastore. Noting the title on the spine and considering its offbeat nature with curiosity, we reached to indulge it with a cursory examination. A closer view confirmed the title is indeed On Bullshit and informed us that the author is one Harry G. Frankfurt. We opened the book to inspect it further and...

After years of delay, the FDA plans once again to reconsider the over-the-counter sales of the controversial Morning-After Pill, which the manufacturer has, due to the extensive passage of time, now renamed the Marriage-After Pill.

You have got to love soap operas. From the intricate plots and finely woven webs of deceit, to the depths of schemes, they were, are and always will be classics. They are timeless. I wrote this article as my take on them back in 1970 when filling white space for our high school paper. Watch a few soap operas for the next few days and see for yourself how closely they resemble the soap operas of 36 years ago... And now for that thought provoking question that plagues men’s ...

Once in a while, there’s a proliferation of new books about the junction or disjunction of science and religion. Here are seven new ones by people with distinguished scientific credentials but constrained capacities in the philosophy of religion. So we’ve added an eighth which, to us, is the book the modern world needs to heal the rift and move on from imbecilic discussion to getting something important done, like saving life before we annihilate it. Here are the first sev...

Muslim women, condemned to wear, even when sandy temps soar, clothes that curiously resemble what nuns usually wore before they lightened up their outfits, are rumored to be preparing a rebellion that is scheduled for a date that is being kept under wraps until it breaks out, to the horror of Muslim men, in scant bikinis. Order takers at online bikini retailers note an unprecedented surge in orders for the scanty attire from Muslim nations. Interviewed in a secret locat...

Uncomfortable as we may be with the inadvertence, we have entered the age of The American Empire. We didn’t ask for it, but here it is, like an overgrown eagle that decided, surprisingly enough, to flap into our laps. The problem is, we don’t have a clue how to take hold of that confused bird and send it off on a long and majestic flight. Right now what we’ve usually got are most of the right intentions but all of the wrong results. Why? We have opted for a strategy tha...

Want to be grateful for modern medicine, despite the way it can wreck the health of your wallet? All you have to do is read about President Garfield’s medical care circa 1880 when he was shot by an assassin. The tale of woe came to our attention as the result of a new exhibit at the National Museum of Health and Medicine, located on the campus of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
