Politics and ta-tas
Re: the dust-up between the Susan B Komen Foundation and Planned Parenthood.
Most of us have a friend or relative who has had an abortion, whether we want to know that or not. Women don't exactly announce the fact to the world. Abortion is here to stay, even if you make the procedure so difficult to get that only rich women have the option.
If you think otherwise--that no one in your world has ever chosen to end a pregnancy--you are likely wrong. By the age of 45, 3 in 10 women will have had an abortion. 30 percent.
How many women do you know?

Valentine's Day
Did your heart throb into your throat (and not in a good way) when you read that head?
Yes, cheries. Feb. 14 is the holiday American adults secretly hate. All of us.
If you're single and don't want to be, you're surrounded by overt lovebirds. Those in committed relationships, meanwhile, are never sure what to buy/how to celebrate. Many males are scared they'll fuck up or forget (A relative of mine married his wife on Feb. 14, likely thinking he'd remember at least one of those dates. Canny, but what happens if he zones Valentine's Day and his wedding anniversary? The results might be life-ending).
Even casual daters and honeymooners aren't too sure. If it's your first Valentine's Day together, for example, would lingerie be an appropriate and appreciated gift? And even if you surmise yes, what piece? Is a lacy bra OK, a bustier borderline, crotchless panties beyond the pale?
Roses. The safe (yet sadly pedestrian) gift.

Why Newt might hang on
In the map below, Gingrich carried pink counties and Romney yellow.
In Florida, the northern part of the state aligns with the South culturally, while the southern two-thirds is decidedly not "Southern" in the same way.
Newt might play kingmaker (or even get the GOP nomination) if he hangs on until more Southern states hold primaries.

Video games help the war-burned
Injuries from fire have figured prominently in our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The burned service members find pain relief in an unlikely place--virtual reality video games.
