Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining."

Women Can Smell a Man’s Sexual Intentions
It’s not hard to tell when a guy is “happy to see you.”
The twinkle in his eye, his swagger, that sexy smile — all are clear signs he’s in the mood.
And, at least subconsciously, a woman can also tell by the scent of his sweat, according to new research.
Scientists have long debated whether humans, like animals, use chemical signals called pheromones to communicate sexual interest to potential mates.
Problem is, the effects of pheromones are thought to be subconscious — meaning that if we do communicate using them, we sure don’t know it.
It’s also hard to know what these pheromones might be and how we sense them, so researchers understand little about them.

Well, if it weren’t for moronic “research” like this, hard hitting journalisim endeavors such as Vogue would shut their doors after one issue.
Seriously, there’s some sneaky new way for a woman to “figure out” if a guy wants to have sex? Oh, no, that will diminish the essential mystery that is maleness! Because we guys are just sooooo unfathomable.
Ladies, at risk of being expelled from the Clandestine Order of Cryptic Men, here’s the straight scoop: Is he heterosexual? Does he have a pulse? If the answers are both “yes,” then he wants to have sex.
You’re welcome.
Only one word for this:
