    Stephen Colbert Lost His Virginity To Larry King

    True story. In his book Truth Be Told, ex CNN host Larry King remembers going on The Colbert Report, and since he feels Colbert basically does a parody of Bill O'Reilly, Larry purposely did a parody of himself and shticked it up to high heaven.

    Singles' Right to Birth Control Turns 40! Happy Birthday, Eisenstadt v. Baird

    Though slutgate seems to have come to somewhat of a conclusion -- Rush Limbaugh probably won't call a young woman a "slut" again until he calls a young woman a "slut" again -- it's helpful to remember what laid the groundwork for this most recent culture war battle: Eisenstadt v.

    Rightbloggers Denounce Rick Santorum's War on Porn -- As a Liberal Conspiracy

    Obama's coming up for reelection, and gas prices and unemployment are high. So why do rightbloggers concentrate instead on cultural issues like abortion, contraception and Rush Limbaugh's opinion of Sandra Fluke? Some think it's because they're bunch of misogynists*.

    Free Contraceptives? Barack Obama's Birth Control Rule Not Broken by Senate

    And now some good news for the ladies of the nation: FREE BIRTH CONTROL! (If you're insured, that is.) Senate Republicans didn't overturn Barack Obama's mandate that health insurance companies cover contraceptives, as Dems definitively blocked Roy Blunt's move yesterday. The narrow 51-48 vote put ...
