...The two teachers, one a man, the other a woman, were dressed as a cheerleader and a football player. The female teacher is seated on a chair with her legs spread as dance music plays. The male teacher approaches her between her legs. He then straddles her and gyrates his hips. He bends over, while she slaps his bottom, his hips bouncing to the beat. They then take it one step further...

The mitral valve repair Williams received Feb. 4 at Mount Sinai Medical Center involves surgeons making a five-centimetre incision on the side of the chest, near the armpit. Slender surgical tools are then inserted between the ribs to reconstruct the valve. The traditional method [ie: if he got the surgery done in Canada] requires a 10-centimetre incision in the middle of the chest and cutting through the breast bone, or sternum.

In an ironic twist, a protester from the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was pied in Newfoundland on Friday...

MADISON, Wis. — A man serving life in prison for first-degree intentional homicide lost his legal battle Monday to play Dungeons&Dragons behind bars. Kevin T. Singer filed a federal lawsuit against officials at Wisconsin’s Waupun prison, arguing that a policy banning all Dungeons&Dragons material violated his free speech and due process rights. Prison officials instigated the Dungeons&Dragons ban among concerns that playing the game promoted gang-related activity and was a threat to security. Singer challenged the ban but the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday upheld it as a reasonable policy. Dungeons&Dragons players create fictional characters and carry...

WASHINGTON — First mammograms. Now -- in an apparent coincidence -- Pap smears. New guidelines by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists say most women in their 20s can have a Pap smear every two years instead of annually to catch slow-growing cervical cancer. The change comes amid a separate debate over when regular mammograms to detect breast cancer should begin...

Why don't he Joint Chiefs go to Obama and say "Sir, you must either present a valid full form birth certificate, step down, or we will remove you from office by force." Isn't it their duty to do something like that? Isn't their accepting orders from Obama potentially carrying out illegal orders?

The head of the Canadian Auto Workers says his union has been forced into negotiations with General Motors Canada in order to cut their labour costs even further, only two months after they agreed to previous wage cuts. Ken Lewenza told reporters at a news conference that the federal and Ontario governments had forced the negotiations to happen, in an ultimatum the CAW president said caught him completely by surprise. "We were called to a meeting yesterday that involved ourselves, General Motors, federal and provincial officials -- a very unusual meeting to say the least," Lewenza said just after 11...

I haven't been able to reach it for over a day now, what's up?

WASHINTON – Thanks to a little known provision in the recent stimulus bill, your cell phone number will soon be in the hands of any telemarketing firm willing to pay the government’s fee. Section 411 of the bill empowers the FCC to ‘raise government funds through the sale of information assets’. The language is so vague that there were no concerns at the time over the potential impact, but telemarketing firms have been beating a path to the FCC’s door since they quietly announced the availability of the information that cellular providers are required by law to file with the...

Just got back from seeing Nickolas Cage's new movie 'Knowing'. I think a lot of you will like it. First the parental info: There is no sex, and I think there was only cuss word 's*** happens'. Watching Cage wander through a fresh plane wreck trying to keep people from burning to death is not for little kids though. If you've seen the trailers you know it's about a 50 year old list of numbers that turns out to be a list of disasters from the time it was written up to the present time and a bit beyond. What...

NEW YORK (AP) — Membership in the nation's two largest Christian church bodies, the Roman Catholic Church and Southern Baptist Convention, declined slightly in 2007, according to the latest edition of the Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches. The Catholic church remains the largest body of believers in the U.S., with 67 million members, the yearbook said. But from 2006 to 2007 the church shed 398,000 members in the U.S. — a 0.59 percent drop. Southern Baptists reported 16.2 million members for a decline of 0.24 percent, or a loss of nearly 40,000 members. Although the declines are relatively small,...

Dear Rush On Wednesday you spoke about conservatives taking power and visiting a heavy payback on the left (Our Time Will Come, Liberals). I must agree that the right has been far, far too passive and accommodating and the desire for payback is fully understandable. I fully support going after the left using all the tools available to maximum effect within the bounds of what is moral, legal, ethical, and in harmony with conservative values. It sounded to me like what you called for was to go much further than that. That shocked me and made me fear for the...
