  newser | Seattle Post-Intelligencer | Jul 20, 08 5:20 PM CDT

  newser | Daily Telegraph (UK) | Jun 18, 08 12:31 PM CDT
  
  New research into the sex lives of chimpanzees compares the behavior of females to their peers in the urban jungle of Sex and the City.

  newser | New York | May 19, 08 6:06 PM CDT
  
  How many husbands reacted to Eliot Spitzer's downfall by pretending to be appalled, hiding their porn, and praying their own similar indiscretions wouldn't come to light?

Like the former governor, they want some "strange," to quote Kris Kristofferson, so let's permit prostitution and allow mistresses the way they do in Europe, he argues. More »
