Details Magazine: 'Can Obama Make You Better In Bed?'

And they says bloggers are news-lite. The latest issue of Details magazine carries this ludicrous headline on the top of the cover: "Can Obama Make You Better In Bed?" Inside is an article suggesting that "from the way we wear our suits to the way we relate to our wives, somehow American men are acting a little more like 44."

This is, as you might suspect, the work of a magazine just making wild generalizations about American manhood with bold assertion and zero research. Men may have favored McCain last November, "But it might not matter all that much, because in voting for a radically different avatar of American masculinity, we were, in a way, voting for Barack Obama to change us. Which is exactly what he's doing."

I can’t remember where I read or heard this, but I recall a soldier in Iraq saying that someone back home had subscribed him to Details as a gift, and his whole platoon started making fun of him, saying that reading the mag is a violation of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

I was told once, by a woman, that the smell of a sweaty man was overpowering for females.

All I know is that when I met my wife I was wearing my full dress uniform (Air Force) and she later told her sister, “I never had a chance.” I noticed she never minded when I showed up to see her in my BDUs with some sweat and jet fuel smell on me.

17 years later, we have four kids...the latest of whom is only four months old.

I think he can. I was lying there in bed last night and started thinking about Obama’s policies and suddenly realized I was getting screwed.

I was in Barnes and Noble this afternoon with my wife, and we were looking at the magazines. I mentioned that it was a good thing that Michael Jackson died, because we’d get a week without “that smug fascist Obama” on the cover of Time and Newsweek.

I got some dirty looks.

If by better in bed they mean pull the cover over their head and go back to sleep because they don’t have a job...than yes he can!!!

"My most effective cologne is the smell of smoke from spare ribs on the grill."

As alluring as that is, it just doesn't compete with the most masculine smell found in the universe...
