CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) – A drug that could do for women what Viagra has done for men is being tested at the University of Virginia. The drug is a testosterone-laden ointment called LibiGel and it’s intended to boost the libido of women who have lost interest in sex. It will be prescribed at UVa in coming months to women who are suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder. A testosterone-laden ointment,

Someone at Free Republic attended the hearing in this matter.  Sgt. McNulty appeared, but Grodner was a no-show, and the judge issued a bench warrant.  Apparently, at some point after the hearing was concluded, either Grodner or a representative arrived and asked for a continuance, which was granted.  Ya think one of us could have showed up late after a bench warrant had been issued and been granted a continuance?

Memeorandum and PowerLine alert us that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doesn’t know that the upcoming elections in Pakistan are for individual seats in the parliament, and that Bhutto, Nawaz and Musharraf are not on the ballot. No doubt that Clintonoids will point out then-Gov. Bush’s inability to even name Gen. Musharraf when was running for president in 1999.  Of course, intervening events should have Pakistan more on a candidate’s radar now than

As someone who went to college in Iowa and (as PW regulars know) someone who likes to analyze polls, I note that John Fund is largely correct in pointing out the flaws of the Iowa caucuses and the reasons why polls are of little use in predicting their outcome. The main quibble I would have with Fund’s piece is that — in an apparent hurry to conclude — he glosses over the

The San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times report on the latest campaign trend — silly names for candidate events and tours. Obama’s “Stand For Change” tour is okay, though I think he could have rocked the Gen X vote had he called it the “Time To Change” tour.  My favorite may be the John Edwards “America Rising: Fighting for the Middle Class” tour. But I have to think Edwards would

Those who read the ostensibly straight news coverage of the New York Times will be told this about the place of immigration in the 2008 elections: New immigration and the political reaction against it are nearly as old as the United States itself. Yet the immigration surge of the last decade has awakened tensions of unexpected intensity that have pervaded the presidential campaigns of both parties and stirred voter anger

Via Pablo, Gleen defends his interpretation of Noonan’s use of the verb “to poof” as a reference to “poofter”: mredge My mother used that term 30 years ago to describe lifting an area of hair to give it a look of more body. I’ve heard the word from hairdressers many times since then. You are the immature person for jumping to the conclusion that the term is somehow used to

Al-Qaeda cleverly use sun roof to assassinate Pakistani ex-PM.  Could Popemobility have saved Bhutto? Would she be alive if Benedict had been willing to share his technology with Muslims? With that, I’m off to NJ to visit friends, and then to NYC to spend New Year’s Eve with Mike Hendrix and his band, so I don’t expect I’ll be doing much (if any) blogging till late on New Year’s Day.  I

h/t Reynolds: The votes by the MLA’s largest governing council came in an at-times-surreal five-hour meeting. Cary Nelson, author of Manifesto of a Tenured Radical, was in the position of being the leading moderate, offering alternative language to defeat Radical Caucus proposals. Critics of Israel repeatedly talked about “facts on the ground” to refer to the treatment of Israel’s critics on campuses today, and it was unclear whether the term
