A new study just came out with statistics showing that gay men make 12% less than straight men, but lesbian women make 15% more than straight women.
Surprised? Not so much?

I’m so glad Sylar didn’t become a bad guy again, but I’m worried his dad knows too — I’m sure he figured it out just like Peter figured it out.
And I don’t understand why the next episode is going to bring us all the way back before Origins — I like that Heroes has just been revealing new things to us along the way. I hope this isn’t a bad turn for...

Happy (belated) 61st Birthday, Hillary Clinton!
Random Facts:
- Hillary actually served as President of Wellesley Young Republicans as a freshmen there, but later stepped down due to a change in her political views (thank goodness!)
- Hillary was the first student to ever deliver the commencement speech at her Wellesley college graduation, and what a speech it was
- To see what we may have...

Apparently, there’s an indirect relationship between the health of the economy and the use of condoms, and right now condom use is very much on the rise.
Makes sense.
Although there are other explanations besides the obvious cost issue: (1) not working = more time for other activities and (2) depressed about the economy — what else can make you happier?

The good thing about hospital dramas is that even if all the outside of the hospital drama is not that interesting, you can still save it with the inside the hospital drama (e.g. Grey’s Anatomy)

Random fact about Obama:
While a student at Harvard Law School, he applied to appear in a black pride pinup calendar. He was rejected by an all-female committee.

NYT Article on Cindy McCain →
Apparently, after this article came out, the McCain campaign was very upset, calling it “gutter journalism”.
One reason for this was the mention of McCain’s first wife, Carol. However, I personally have always felt that Cindy McCain seemed very cold, and I feel like this article actually makes me feel bad for her. The article humanizes Cindy, and that must be a good thing for...

So…
Elton John hosted an AIDS benefit recently, and Andy Roddick was there to auction himself off for a one-on-one tennis lesson to the highest bidder.
Then, he offered to take off his shirt during the lesson to increase bidding.
Finally, he agreed to do the lesson in the buff…
Not sure what kind of lesson this will be, but he helped raise $15,000 with this auction. Personally, it...

Did people notice that McCain was not wearing an American flag pin yesterday? Does he normally do that? Very strange…
And also, that McCain was using a sharpie as a writing tool? That’s just weird…

It appears that politicians would be wise to begin paying a little more attention to the wants and needs of Asian Americans — we can make them, we can break them.
This is actually incredibly surprising to me, as I was under the assumption that most APA’s live in urban (and thus, largely Democratic) states but maybe we are actually beginning to expand into those strange...

An article on the two presidential candidates and the effect they will have on your taxes — very interesting.

Sorry, I’ve been slacking.
All I can say is that Ramen Setagaya and BonChon Chicken (cheaper at Boka in St. Marks Place) are both very good.
I need to try all of the top ramen places in the city!

What is the probability that McCain will die while in office (most likely of natural causes), versus the probability that Obama will die while in office (assassinated?)

My dad’s reason for not liking Obama:
I don’t like black people. [And then, a few moments later] I don’t like Muslims either.
Then: Do you know what kind of uprising there will be if Obama is elected...

So people prefer Palin for VP because she is the average American? I have two major problems with this —
1. Why would I want someone who is as knowledgeable as I about politics, business, the world, etc. to be the VP, rather than someone who can easily put my limited worldview to shame? (The average American, as far as I am concerned, is not very smart to being with…) It’s...

Hahaha. Dick Fuld was punched in the face after Lehman’s bankruptcy was announced.
In other news, the Dow fell below 10,000 today, which I thought was CRAZY (and it is) but apparently, the Dow was at this level a mere few years ago, during the BOOM years…
Perspective, people. Perspective.

I watched the entire mini-series of The Starter Wife this weekend — I actually wanted her to choose Lou. I think that says a lot about what I value. Does this make me a bad person?
