Donate blood and if you're a male, you'll be asked if you've had sex with another male even once. If so, you can't donate. Plenty of other restrictions - having sex with some who uses a a needle, using a needle for drugs yourself, been paid for sex with money or drugs, been to this or that country, etc. -------------------------------------------- Re you not knowing the above, its a bit of illustration of something Arthur Brooks said: "If liberals and moderates gave blood at the same rate as conservatives, the blood supply of the United States would jump about 45 percent." But you can change this. Start donating blood regularly. --------------------------------------------- What better place than a controlled environment like a school. Schools have responsibility to not endanger kids unduly, to encourage unhealthy things.

Letterman's deranged Palin obsession Tuesday, June 16, 2009 David Letterman, will you teach your son to talk about women and girls the way you talk about Sarah Palin and her daughters? You called the married 45-year-old mother, grandmother and Alaska governor a "slutty flight attendant" on your national TV talk show because she happens to be a tall, beautiful and dynamic public figure who doesn't look, walk or talk the way you think she should. You joked on national television about Palin's teenage daughter "getting knocked up" by professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez or solicited by the prostitute-addicted former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer because it's acceptable in your social and professional circles to sneer at the children of politicians you despise. Letterman has a deranged obsession with Palin and her family that has crossed into rank bigotry and hatred. Over the past year, he has displayed his sexist, elitist stripes in jibe after jibe aimed at Palin. Taken cumulatively, Letterman's mockery is about much more than expressing contempt for the popular GOP governor. It's a handy device to deride a broad class of working-class and middle-class women he holds in contempt: "You know, she reminds me, she looks like the flight attendant who won't give you a second can of Pepsi. No, you've had enough. We're landing. Looks like the waitress at the coffee shop who draws a little smiley face on your check. Have a nice day." "She looks like the dip sample lady at Safeway. She looks like the nurse who weighs you and then makes you sit alone in your underwear for 20 minutes. She looks like the Olive Garden hostess who says, 'I'm sorry, your table isn't ready yet.' She looks like the infomercial lady who says she made $64,000 a month flipping condos." Letterman reminds me of the lecher at the school bus stop. Or the aging creep lurking in the dirty magazine section at the 7-Eleven. Attention, CBS: Get him a therapist now. dallasnews.com
