I don’t know why Tipper and Al Gore have split after after 40 years of marriage and honestly, I hope we don’t find out.
The “celebrity break-up” where the former couple or their friends leak dirt to gossip rags for money and attention is one of the more sickening spectacles of the [...]

April 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment
John C. Drew, Ph.D. is an award-winning political scientist and ex-leftist who knew Barack Obama back when the President was a hard Marxist undergraduate. Today he shares with NRB what he’s been reading lately:

Hawking Adultery
March 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Adultery should be for fun AND profit, according to Jenn. Q. Public.
For a few, mostly unmarried, bloggers on this site, every proposal that marriage is and should be a legal contract with consequences, is a slippery slope toward theocracy and a direct attack on homosexuals.
This curiously aggressively defensive attitude generally takes an argument that either [...]

The sacred institution of incestuous child rape is the very glue which binds civilized societies such as those found in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Cleveland.

In my article last week about feminist Jessica Valenti, a reader named “Jess” commented that she dislikes “how there’s apparently no middle ground between sleeping with everything that moves and waiting for marriage.” Ironically (since we seem to have little else in common), I agree with her. Ms. Valenti makes a living telling young women [...]
I Now Pronounce You Wusband and Hife

What does it mean to be a husband? Newlywed Carrie Sloan isn’t exactly sure, but it’s got something to do with leaving dirty socks on the floor, bat-out-of-hell driving habits, and a man-sized butt print on a La-Z-Boy recliner.
Not that she buys into gender stereotypes or anything.

Misguided Wives and Powerless Husbands
February 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The new brouhaha about parents Joseph and Rebecca Reyes, one of whom is Catholic and the other Jewish, is a classic example of two broken institutions in America: the judicial system — and marriage.
The problem with the judicial system is simple: Judges have taken their power and run with it. As one lawyer from Rochester, [...]
