During his initial campaign, Barack Obama talked about transparency in the government. He went as far as to say that the senate floor would...

My red shoes.  Never worn.  My knees went out about the time I bought them and I never wore high heels after that.  These are not as high as the heels in  “The Red Shoe Diaries” which is the name of an erotic series — all about women who keep sad diaries about disappointed love and mail them to David Duchovny. A gimmick as old as Geisha pillow books and...

Situations where one person tries to shift the consciousness of another person abound in ordinary daily life.  Trying to get someone else to go for a walk, to play a game, or to get amorous are pretty usual.  Living with a toddler means constantly distracting them from unwanted behavior based on untrained intentions.  “Oh!” one exclaims enthusiastically, “Look...

Every 3 in 10 Americans are most likely to believe that the ‘Holy’ Bible (Old and New Testaments) is the literal word of God as opposed to a book of fairy...
