Roissy, among many others, describes an alpha-beta split in human men. His examples and evidence is compelling, especially for anyone who leans towards evolutionary psychology. Well, here is even more proof: I know I’ve been writing a lot about reproductive rights and sexual health issues, but the stories I want to comment on seem to [...]

Don’t confuse them with facts To listen to talk radio, to watch TV pundits, to read a newspaper’s online message board, is to realize that increasingly, we are a people estranged from critical thinking, divorced from logic, alienated from even objective truth.

In addition to that, I’d point out the guy who bulldozed his own house in retaliation of forclosure: As well as the ridiculousness of the Tea Party. These people don’t know what they [...]

Mortuary Techs getting down and dirty: The people employed to respectfully handle the remains of the deceased have instead turned cadavers and body parts into macabre playthings, The Post has learned. And they shockingly documented their depraved foolery in photos taken as keepsakes. Grinning mortuary technicians use corpses as props in dozens of disturbing Polaroids [...]
