The Sound Of Settled Science
The most unkindest cut of all:
Men with vasectomies may be at an increased risk for the most lethal form of prostate cancer, researchers have found. […]
The lead author, Lorelei A. Mucci, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, emphasized that a vasectomy does not increase the risk for prostate cancer over all. “We’re really seeing the association only for advanced state and lethal cancers,” she said.
So that’s reassuring.

It Does Match Her Description
As you can see, the penis doodle just so happens to be on a secret White House document about former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milošević, which makes it even funnier — as does the simple fact that it’s Bill Clinton drawing a penis, possibly before the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Glenn Reynolds: “… it makes a good excuse to run this Andrew Breitbart video from the first phase of the Weiner scandal. Since then, of course, the NYT, People, and other house organs pronounced Weiner rehabilitated. They look just about as credible as they did when Andrew was talking about them.”
Is That A Monument In Your Pocket?
Another good reason for women to arm themselves;
A tiny Vancouver park is at the centre of a monument war, pitting backers of a proposed monument to Irish Canadians against activists who feel its dominant “phallic” nature would violate the integrity of an existing Montreal Massacre memorial. […]
“Placing the [Ireland Canada Monument] design 80 feet from the women’s monument, which has vulva shapes engraved in the top of each of the 14 sarcophagi forms, is inappropriate and will be seen to be a violation by supporters,” wrote Chris McDowell, an activist and second-generation Irish Canadian who led a seven-year campaign to build the Marker of Change.
So you don’t end up as a “vulva shape” in a Vancouver park.

A man doesn’t need to have his penis removed to legally become a woman, according to new order from the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.
In a 95-page decision issued April 11, Sheri Price, a vice-chair with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, gave the Ontario government 180 days to “revise the criteria for changing sex designation on a birth registration.” Unless provincial authorities mount an appeal, Ontario will become the first Canadian jurisdiction to toss out genital surgery as a pre-requisite for a legal sex change.
This makes perfect sense, actually. Removing the penis doesn’t turn a man into a woman any more than a ruling from a panel of bat shit crazy bureaucrats does.
