News I Missed

elfsPhizer has agreed to stop marketing Viagra to teens. If there's anything sillier than that in the news today, I don't know what it is. I mean, don't teenaged males have boners all the time as it is?
A grandmother who was receiving medical benefits for her crippling arthritis, which doctors said prevented her from finding work, has now been convicted of fraud because she was working as a phone sex operator. On the one hand, it's hard to argue that she was working against the rules, but I worry that now every trapped-at-home person is going to be denied medical benefits because, hey, as long as they can talk, they can make a good living hot-chatting desparate necrophiles, bestialists, and scat fans.
Expect, any day now, that if the war in Iraq ends with an Islamic Republic, or even an Islamic Federation, and the repression of women continues unabated, and Iraq's financial and oil-deploying woes continue indefinitely, to hear the Conservatives claim that everything would have gone as expected if they weren't "stabbed in the back" by "the left" that wanted the war to go badly. Democrats are going to spend the next four election cycles explaining that they weren't traitors to the cause.

Date: 2005-08-16 08:54 pm (UTC)Tell me something: What man in his right mind would _want_ an erection to last for 3 hours? It's like these people don't remember what it was like to be 14 (i.e. hellishly uncomfortable and embarrassing).
