John McCain likes being an asshole plain and simple

That's the only explanation for the way he acted while interrogating Hagel during his confirmation.

Want to have more sex? Survey says: stop helping with the chores

Let's run those numbers again.
I need to see your work and double check your math on this.

"Want to have more sex? Survey says: stop helping with the chores
No good deed goes unpunished.

That famous phrase from Clare Booth Luce apparently applies to married men, according to a new study that finds men who help with the housework tend to have less sex.

The University of Washington research, published Wednesday in the American Sociological Review, suggests that heterosexual couples have more “sexual encounters” when each partner takes on traditional gender roles.

“Where the male is doing the male tasks and the female is doing the female tasks, those are the couples (who) are having more sex,” UW Associate Professor of Sociology and study co-author Julia Brines said in an interview with the Toronto Star.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

justifying child rape is horrifying and should not be tolerated.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jan 25, 2013, 12:50 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: This post needs to be Hidden but I bet at least 3 jurors will vote to leave and at least one will say that it is just an opinion and needs to be rebutted in the thread. I have come to the realization that more than half of the long time posters on DU are right wingers. This place needs a new name.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: use reply, not alert!



Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

A treasure trove of current Oscar nominated scripts and more, all legal downloads. Happy reading!

My gift to the DU writing community because if you want to write good screenplays you should read lots of good ones.
Enjoy!

"For movie fans who like to read screenplays, it’s one of the perks of awards season that most studios hoping to get some Academy Award consideration post online a sampling of what they consider their best screenplays of the year. This year we have 30 scripts that have been offered up by the studios on their various “For Your Consideration” websites for reading. As usual, these sites don’t hang around too long after awards season ends, so if you are interested in reading any of the screenplays, I would recommend saving them to your hard drive while you have the chance."

Let's Stay Together....

President Obama and First Lady Michelle 2nd Inaugural Ball dance
It's a good theme song for Democrats too

With this great man leading America the next four years are going to be pretty damn good

especially after that fantastic speech the President gave today.
yeah the GOP is in the way but we can take them since they are fools who let hate lead their actions.
It's a great day to be an American.
Happy Inauguration and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day everyone!

You don't need a rifle to shop at JC Penney.

Of course I wouldn't go into a Wal-Mart without one.

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
