How many men were assaulted by domestic partners in that time?My wife watches the ID crime channel all the time and the show 'Deadly Women'. I'm starting to wonder if I should be worried.

This is nothing compared to some wines I've seen ... Oh yeah - stroll down the wine aisle(s) at Spec's here in Houston, especially the large Midtown site, and you'll see all sorts of cunning linguists. TOTALLY SAFE FOR WORK LINK

The shop is owned by a woman who had been a domestic violence victim. The assumptions that were made was that the shop was owned by a guy and that he was being politically provocative and ornery and poking fun at female sensitivities. Now that it is out that a woman owns the shop who herself was a victim and was trying to make her own statement, it should be rather interesting to watch the egg on the critics’ faces and the various gyrations that the pols will make to make the story go away.
