Man the Barricades! (CraigC)

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,

Update On Our Favorite Weasel Lawyer–Whoops, Sorry, I Guess That’s Redundant (CraigC)

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?

The main quibble I would have with Fund’s piece is that — in an apparent hurry to conclude — he glosses over the

Iowa 2008: Electric Boogaloo [Karl]

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
