  3. “Claims that children<\/a> need both a mother and father presume that women and men parent differently in ways crucial to development but generally rely on studies that conflate gender with other family structure variables. We analyze findings from studies with designs that mitigate these problems…”<\/li>\n
  4. In defense of Canada<\/a>: Canadian doctors aren’t flocking to the US, Canadians aren’t flocking here for health care, doctors aren’t less satisfying practicing there, hip replacements in the US are quicker because our <\/em>single-payer medicare system is fast, and more.<\/li>\n
  5. Electronic cigarettes don\u2019t give off smoke, but some areas are starting to ban them – The Washington Post<\/a> The faster e-cigarettes spread among smokers, the healthier Americans will be.<\/li>\n
  6. Super Obvious Secrets That I Wish They\u2019d Teach In Art School<\/a><\/li>\n

  11. The recovery\/deficit-reduction deal the two parties should, but won\u2019t, strike<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. The Senate is<\/a> doing less than ever before. Republicans blame the Democrats for not proposing more legislation. Democrats blame the Republicans for the virtually automatic filibuster, making proposing new legislation pointless. I think the system is broken.<\/li>\n

  16. The “massive” new oil <\/a>discovered in the Gulf of Mexico is only massive by current-day standards; if this is what now counts as “massive,” that proves that we are running out.<\/li>\n
  17. An Orthodox Jewish basketball player, Naama Shafir, can’t play in Europe<\/a> because she wears a t-shirt under her tank top to comply with religious modesty rules.

  18. “I’m not racist, but…<\/a>” (“I search public facebook posts for “not racist but” and post examples of how not racist people are.”) and “I’m not sexist, but…<\/a>” (you get the idea).<\/li>\n
  19. Leaked! Herman Cain’s New Campaign Video “We are the Real America” is Seeking Actors: Here is the Call for Extras<\/a>. Unintentionally hilarious. Example: “Upwardly Mobile Black Professional. He is a slight to small framed African American who wears glasses. With a clean cut look (no dread locks or other ethnic haircut) he is very excited and charmed by Herman Cain’s presence. They will likely embrace each other and exchange a high five.” What kind of person hires someone to pretend to be his black friend?<\/li>\n

  21. The Pentagon\u2019s $435 hammer<\/a> was apparently not as wasteful as I’ve assumed; it was odd accounting practices, not overpaying for hammers.<\/li>\n
  22. “…a substantial portion of<\/a> the higher tax burden that Europeans pay is really illusory. They are really just paying their health insurance premiums through their taxes rather than through lower wages, as we do.”<\/li>\n

  24. Miami Police Beat, Threaten, Point Guns At, Arrest Citizen Videographer<\/a><\/li>\n
