No problem," Santorum said. "We've had exchanges" through an intermediary. Just last night the former Alaska governor had her claws out on national ...
Sexually Explicit Chants Land Yale Frat in Hot Water
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 19) -- It's enough to give "Animal House" a bad name. Members of Yale University's Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity find themselves facing possible disciplinary action after a group of pledges took part in an initiation activity in which they marched through campus chanting obscenities against women. On the night of Oct. 13, the pledges shouted phrases such as "no means yes, yes means anal" as they marched through the heart of campus in a single-file line. Video of the incident was posted on YouTube. Likening the fraternity's chants to "hate speech," The Yale Women's Center ...
Brett Favre and the Sex Factor: Who's at Fault?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK – By now the bombshell allegations involving Brett Favre and the graphic pictures and suggestive voice-mail messages he sent to a female New York Jets employee are the focus of an N.F.L. investigation, but a side issue is simmering once again: Do women ask for it? Last week, on Oct. 7, the Web site Deadspin.com reported that in 2008 when he was the Jets quarterback, Favre sent salacious photos and messages to Jenn Sterger, who at the time was a Jets game-day hostess. The accusations rippled through the sports world, where rumors about the Favre-Sterger episode had circulated ...

Jon Stewart and 'The Daily Show': They're Just Not That Into Lame Female Comics
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyMeritocracies are brutal. You should know, since you yourself practiced a kind of meritocracy. As a child, you were bigger than the bug. Splat! Too bad for you, bug. How dare you exist. In the adult world, however, distinguishing between a true meritocracy and a prejudicial pattern of hiring is not so clear cut. In the last couple of weeks the Internet has been rippling with controversy over "The Daily Show's" lack of women -- "The Daily Show's Woman Problem," by Irin Carmon on jezebel.com, "Outrage World: How Feminist Blogs Like Jezebel Gin Up Page Views by Exploiting Women's Worst ...
There's Something About Sarah
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Nov. 17) -- Everyone is calling this Palin Week because Sarah Palin's talk show blitz has begun and her memoir, "Going Rogue," is hitting stores now. But last week also felt a lot like Palin Week. And at this rate, next week will, too. There's always another angle to the Sarah Palin story. The week began with a slew of polls that don't bode well for any White House ambitions Palin might have.

And her ...
