Since history’s earliest recordings, mankind has more often than not chosen to ignore the issue of sexuality rather than discuss and embrace its inherent presence in the individual’s everyday life. This exact course of action has, in addition to other factors, contributed to today’s prevalence of sexual assaults on college campuses nationwide. Now more than ever, college students are under an enormous amount of pressure to look and feel sexually appealing. Many would argue this affects women more than men, but in my experience, everyone is fairly preoccupied with their physical appearance – and whether they choose to admit...

Ted Cruz accused Republican front-runner Donald Trump of taking advantage of 'angry, low-information voters.' “Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice,” Cruz told “The Brody File” in an interview conducted Wednesday and published Thursday. Cruz, who has racked up wins in Idaho, Maine and Kansas in the past week, said his campaign performs better among informed, engaged voters. “When they inform themselves, they realize his record,” Cruz said. “He’s what they’re angry at. He is the corruption, and if...

I just heard Univisión main sportscaster, Fernando Fiore, announce that President Bill Clinton will appear in-studio live from Johannesburg, South Africa tomorrow Thursday, June 24th. Univisión has a studio set up for the month-long FIFA World Cup event near Soccer City in Johannesburg. Fiore asked fans to e-mail him soccer-related questions (link above) that he should ask Mr. Clinton. Fiore did not state a time of when Clinton will be in-studio, but it will most likely be between 9:30 - 10:00am ET or between 2:00 - 2:30pm ET, times where Fiore has pre-shows, prior to scheduled matches tomorrow Thursday. Clinton...

Boxers or briefs? A lot of guys consider that a personal question, but the secret has been revealed for a 19-year-old Fort Worth soldier, thanks to The New York Times, the Internet and, well, the Taliban. Army Spec. Zachary Boyd, a 2007 graduate of Keller Central High School, was in his sleeping quarters this week when the Taliban attacked in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan. Boyd rushed to a defensive position clad in his helmet, vest and boxers -- the pink ones decorated with the "I Love NY" slogan. As luck would have it, an Associated Press photographer was...

On Wednesday’s CBS "Early Show," co-host Julie Chen teased an upcoming segment on Barack Obama: "...during the long primary season, we all learned a lot about Barack Obama. He is a Senator. He's a Harvard grad. He's a husband. And he is a father. But this morning, you're going to learn five things you probably don't know about Barack Obama." Later, in David Letterman style, correspondent Jeff Glor introduced the story: "...here are the top five things you likely don't know about Barack Obama." Among those things, were important facts such as "Number four -- in addition to enjoying basketball...

In the new issue of Us Weekly, presidential candidate Barack Obama invited news director Lara Cohen to join his campaign for a day. He described some of his best Just Like Us moments, and took our Presidential Pop Quiz (where he revealed that his daughters think Britney and Paris are "yuck"). Some excerpts from the Us interview: How familiar are you with Us Weekly? My wife reads it. --snip-- So, boxers or briefs? Bill Clinton said he wore boxers in a 1992 interview with MTV. I don't answer those humiliating questions. But whichever one it is, I look good in...

NEW YORK (AP) - Former President Clinton will appear on Oprah Winfrey's TV talk show next Tuesday, Sept. 4, his first interview to promote "Giving," a book on philanthropy and civic action coming out the same day. Clinton's appearance was announced Monday in an e-mail - "The first interview about his new passion!" - sent to members of Winfrey's book club. Winfrey, who interviewed Clinton in 2004 for his memoir "My Life," has good reason to think highly of the new book. "Giving" praises Winfrey's "Angel Network," which has donated millions of dollars around the world, from money for schools...

Why I Was Smiling and Hurricane by CindySheehan Tue Sep 27th, 2005 at 10:42:28 PDT CindySheehan's diary :: :: I had a huge grin on my face when I was getting arrested yesterday. I have received a lot of flak for smiling. Apparently I am not supposed to smile, but I had some really good reasons for doing so. First of all, I was having fun. I was with a group of good-humored, cheerful, happy people. We were singing old protest songs and old Sunday school songs and clapping. I felt I had to be cheerful to set the tone....

I want to post my own single thought vanity thread on Terri, but am having a hard time thinking of a title and need a little input.

Roger Clemens was given an emphatic apology Thursday for "unjustly" being ejected from his 10-year-old son's baseball game last weekend in Colorado. David King, president of tournament organizer Triple Crown Sports, said "Mr. Clemens was a non-aggressor and a victim of mistaken identity and confusion" by an upset umpire. Roger Clemens accepts an apology issued for his ejection from his son's game.(AP) Clemens was asked to leave son Kacy's game Saturday in Craig, Colo., when a 22-year-old ump said the Houston Astros pitcher spit a sunflower seed at him. Moments earlier, Kacy was called out on a stolen base attempt...

CANNES, France (AFP) - Alexandra Kerry, 30-year-old daughter of US Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites), walked up Cannes' celebrated red-carpet for the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill 2" wearing an off-shoulder black number that turned transparent under the flashes. Kerry, who is showing a short film at the festival, was tailed by the press during her stay at Cannes but French newspapers reported that her staff had warned journalists off questions concerning her famous father. Her film entitled "The Last Full Measure" is being presented in the Short Film Corner section and describes the ravage...

It looks like NippleGate2, folks. Drudge has this photo of Kerry's daughter from the Cannes Film Festival.

THE dishy daughter of US Presidential candidate John Kerry certainly gets our vote. Brunette Alexandra Kerry left movie fans gasping at the Cannes Film Festival in her daring see-through dress. Film director Alexandra, 30, showed at least two reasons why Americans should vote her dad into the White House in November. Democrat Mr Kerry is hoping for a good showing at the polls. His girl is content with just a good showing.

Red, white and blue colors cover the screen on MTV's website as the words appear, "The last election was decided by 500,000 votes nationwide. In some states it was decided by 50,000 or 5,000 or 500. In the last election, 18 million young people voted. What if that were 20 million? Who's swing voting now?" The same network that has given us "The Osbournes," "Punk'd," and "Total Request Live" also contributes to the seriousness of politics by delivering "Choose or Lose," the current MTV campaign to mobilize 20 million young voters in November. "Choose or Lose," launched in 1992, brought...

A 40-year-old lecturer at a college in Northern Norway, lost his job after he got an erection in the presence of two students. The court claims the incident can not be held against him. Two female students contacted college management after the incident where they claim the lecturer exposed himself indecently to them in a work-out room. The district attorney filed a suit against the man after the local police suggested not prosecuting the case. However, in the criminal case the lecturer was unanimously acquitted. In Hammarfest law of property, the ground for dismissal was found wrongful, and Høgskolen in...
