Tiger Woods Fans Check PGA Leaderboard For Star's Redemption
By David Knowles - AOL News(Aug. 12) -- When will Tiger get back to being Tiger? With each successive tournament that Tiger Woods fails to win, that question looms larger in the minds of the professional golfer's fans. As the PGA Championship got under way in Kohler, Wis., today, Woods entered the final major tournament of the year after coming off his worst-ever performance as a professional, finishing 18 over par and 40 strokes off the lead at the World Golf Championships. Of course, Woods' decline, which includes a dry spell of 11 months since he last won a tournament, coincided with the very public train wreck of ...
Grindr iPhone App: GPS for the Sex Superhighway
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyRemember online dating? Gosh, that seems so last century. An iPhone application which allows cruising gay men to locate one another instantly using Global Positioning System technology is now spreading to the heterosexual market. This latest rage in online romance is called Grindr. Grindr is a free, downloadable iPhone app that lets you find "gay, bi, curious guys near you." It's sort of a sexual version of toptable -- an iPhone app that allows you to search for all the restaurants offering a certain cuisine in your immediate vicinity. Similarly, Grindr provides a grid of who else in your ...
Why Men Cheat: Science Says 'New' Women Boost Testosterone
By Paul Wachter - AOL NewsAndrew Sullivan links to a blog post on male sexuality by Christopher Ryan, co-author, along with Cacilda Jetha, of the new book "Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality." Ryan looks at the eternal question: Why do men, in particular middle-aged men, have affairs? One's tempted to answer the question -- or a revision of it (why do men sleep with other women -- or men?) -- with Sir Edmund Hillary's response to someone who asked him why he wanted to climb Mount Everest. "Because it's there," he said. Sexual opportunities are out there, too. And while there are myriad reasons ...
More Wives Should Dump Their Husbands
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyI've been thinking a lot about marriage lately. Or, more precisely: unhappy marriages. And I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't time for more women to -- as we say in politics -- "throw the bums out." I got to thinking about this after my colleague, Melinda Henneberger, wrote a post last weekend about one of those marriages about which we know just a bit too much: Silda and Elliot Spitzer's. You may recall Spitzer as the former governor of New York who stepped down when it was revealed that he'd been patronizing a prostitution service. And you will certainly recall his wife, Silda, who stood ...
Alleged Photo of JFK with Naked Women Is Actually From 1967 Playboy Spread
By David Sessions - Politics DailyA photo published by TMZ Sunday only appeared to catch John F. Kennedy in an embarrassing pose: A yellowed, creased photo shows two naked women jumping from a boat's deck into the water, while two others recline in the sun on an upper deck. A man sunning himself on the lower deck was supposedly JFK, TMZ asserted. The claim is false. TMZ now concedes that it is actually a 1967 shoot from Playboy. The photo accompanied a story headlined "Playboy's Charter Yacht Party: How to Have a Ball on the Briny With an Able-Bodies Complement of Ship's Belles." The former president, of course, was dead by ...
New Hampshire May Decriminalize Adultery
By not in system - AOL NewsCONCORD, N.H. (Dec. 13) - The original punishments - including standing on the gallows for an hour with a noose around the neck - have been softened to a $1,200 fine, yet some lawmakers think it's time for the 200-year-old crime of adultery to come off New Hampshire's books. Seven months after the state approved gay marriage, lawmakers will consider easing government further from the bedroom with a bill to repeal the adultery law. "We shouldn't be regulating people's sex lives and their love lives," state Rep. Timothy Horrigan said. "This is one area the state government should stay out of ...
In Aftermath of Affair, Ensign Allegedly Sought Lobbying Contracts for Mistress's Husband
By David Sessions - Politics DailyA sprawling New York Times expose published Friday reveals the previously concealed aftermath of Sen. Mark Ensign's affair with an aide: Ensign (R-Nev.) may have broken Senate lobbying rules trying to get the aide's husband -- and one of his closest friends -- out of Washington. As their friendship grew strained under the pressure of Ensign's protracted relationship with Douglas Hampton's wife, Ensign called in favors with powerful donors to help Hampton get a job in Nevada, and then continued to use his Senate office as an inroad for Hampton's lobbying efforts, the Times reported. Ensign ...
