The Dish

An intriguing video from Newsweek.

Coulter on McCain.

Gulp. She now leads by seven.

L.A.’s Hispanic paper backs Obama. It’s the second biggest paper in LA and the biggest Spanish language paper in the country.

"If you’ve got a Hillary and McCain race, you’ve got a third option: That’s the pistol on the bed table." – Pat Buchanan.

In 1972.

Many of Obama’s recent gains have come from women switching from Clinton.

More than a campaign now, much more than a campaign. And it has an anthem:

Do what you can this weekend to help him do it.

"In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope."

One gets the sense it’s not procreation:

Human lips enjoy the slimmest layer of skin on the human body, and the lips are among the most densely populated with sensory neurons of any body region. When we kiss, these neurons, along with those in the tongue and mouth, rocket messages to the brain and body, setting off delightful sensations, intense emotions and physical reactions.

Of the 12 or 13 cranial nerves that affect cerebral function, five are at work when we kiss, shuttling messages from our lips, tongue, cheeks and nose to a brain that snatches information about the temperature, taste, smell and movements of the entire affair. Some of that information arrives in the somatosensory cortex, a swath of tissue on the surface of the brain that represents tactile information in a map of the body. In that map, the lips loom large because the size of each represented body region is proportional to the density of its nerve endings.
