I would have Rachel Maddow's reverse-babies. Smart is hot.

then go for Pam Karlan. LIke MadCow she is a lesbian. But she is much much smarter. It isn't close. She was a Junior Phi Beta Kappa at Yale, a supreme court clerk and considered one of the best far left law professors in the USA. She's also prettier than madcow. In college she had a crush on my suite mate (who got a Rhodes BTW). I was sort of shocked when she told me when I ran into her at a lecture she did at the local law school that she was a lesbian.
I hate you and your Ivy League life. :2razz:
that life ended say 25 years ago. My wife isn't ivy. my friends aren't Ivy (for the most part). true both my brothers each have two Ivy degrees as does one sister in law but most of my friends come from the shooting sports and several never went to college.
Rachel Maddow is a very attractive person, but your post weirds me out. Grow a pair of ovaries.
I am secure enough in my manhood to say such things.
I am trying to figure out the biological possibility of your desires.

I didn't say it was a desire. I said I would do it.
If she, you know, asked me to or something.
“The talks are lines that if you were serious about foreign policy, we would focus on it in a serious way,” said Graham. “And the idea of having a debate on a major treaty regarding nuclear arms between now and Christmas and dealing with the 9/11 bill, the DREAM Act, repealing ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ with no amendments is inconsistent with that.”
dadt's movement today, fyi:
we all saw yesterday the quite surprising development that saw reid surrender on the omnibus, removing the threat of hot warfare which would surely see dadt (and dream and start) held hostage
reid's removing that foul fight off his floor was sposed to clear the way
but today the party of no has found a new brouhaha---start
start passed procedurals wednesday with the exact 67 a treaty needs to be ratified
however, marverick mccain and limber lindsey graham, two of the 67, are this morning all a-moan
their hassle is harry's pushing dream and dadt up for passage saturday morning, or so reid says
it's all very political, bear with me
mccain and graham are trashing it thus: start is serious business, it deserves debate and airing, harry's hustling these openly political blueprints is, well:
you all know mccain
but lindsey, who's sposed to be so limp wristed, was republican point man for 2 years on TWO of our nation's most hi profile politicals---energy and immigration
and the deliberate drawler dealt death to both, to the great satisfaction of lipton lovers everywhere
ie, i would not take the threats of these two men too lightly
it very well might be that harry (on behalf of whom) is gonna have to choose between his dadt and his start
by all accounts, dream is a dreary load
now, what's quite odd in all this is how obama has stated repeatedly that start is his top priority in the duck
it doesn't make sense, as that particular parlay with putin is easy pickings in the spring, boehner's house is not needed for ratification, republicans led by lugar are eager, all they demand is open air
but it is what it is, obama had his reasons

I personally think that the DADT needs to be ammended, NOT appealed! If it does get completely appealed, there's going to be violence and diffraction within every area of the military.
Homosexuality is NOT that widely accepted within our society yet. Let's just keep it under the radar and act like we don't see the slip hanging, even if it IS hanging just a tad...
All evidence points to this not being the case. It has not happened in other militaries that have made the change. No one has yet to point to any actual positive evidence it will happen. It is an emotional fear, nothing more.
I don't agree. Even 20 years ago you might have had a point about homosexuality being accepted, but I don't think you do today. Polling on the issue suggests strongly that gays are fairly well accepted these days.
Remember, the will of the people is tantamount, unless the people are wrong--conservative logic.
Both gays and transgenders are still being openly attacked in broad daylight on our city streets! They remain large targets for employment discrimination.
As a society, we've made some improvement of note. However, we're still nowhere near the finishline. We're not even at the midpoint, yet.
Do you have any idea about the actual depths of ignorance concerning gender variance and sexual orientation within this country?
Not to mention the fact that many of our male youth join the military for confirmation of manhood, development of higher self-esteem, and improvement upon self-identity imagery.
Fewer enlistees will enlist due to fear of proximity with gays because as we all know, it easily rubs off!

All large cities have police departments where you can conveniently contact them yourself and find out how frequently our gay and transgender youth are being attacked. They're being attacked, verbally, physically, and via the internet. C'mon! Where have you been?
Haven't you heard about all of the bullying going on within our schools. Even the teachers and staff have taken an offensive role in attacking our sexual minority kids.
Openly gay males will have more than their share of both blatant resentment and violence demonstrated against them. There are males who would only be so happy, as to smoother any of them in their sleep. Many will consider it an absolute dishonor to serve along side of a shipmate who is openly gay. Some will consider it a slap in the face to have to share the same berthing areas with men who are openly gay. They will resent standing near them while relieving themselves in the restroom. If they serve in the same combat unit during missions, beware! Trust me, I've personally sat in on the ignorance. I know exactly how deep and vast is the ignorance deposit.
It's truly ubiquitous! And I Ain't Kiddin' Either!
At the risk of sounding Neanderthalic, all I can say is the following:
If we're still going to be stupid enough to have wars, then men as warriors want to be led by other men who can be though of as strong leaders. Most American men would have a problem seeing a gay male as that strong leader.
Most warriors want to be led by the fearless, the courageous, and the ruthless. Most American men would have a problem seeing a gay male in that manner.
Finally, most men feel as though they want to belong to a strong group. They look for every link within the chain to be at least as "strong" as they are "strong". Warriors feel as though men draw strength from other men. If they should weaken for just an instant, they want to have the assurance that they can rely upon their brothers for a perk in the inspiration war rage, crazed bloodletting, and the concentrated, testosterone-filled drive to kill, maim, and destroy all opposed members facing them. Once they see this element within others, they then feel inspired to do the same. Most military men don't feel that they could rely upon gays feeling that way about it.

According to the FBI, there was a total of 1223 crimes motivated by sexual orientation in 2009. Compare that to 3199 by race. Should we disallow other races to serve because of the risk of racial violence?
Table 1 - Hate Crime Statistics 2009
Well, as long as we're making up bull****, conservatives think all poor people are poor because they're stupid and inferior!
The only problem with that statistic, is that sex orientation crimes and transgender related crimes are much less likely to get reported.
When a black or latino is attacked, there are multitudes of fellow community members ready to stand up in their defense, while all the while identifying with the predicament.
Many gays feel as though if they weren't so mess up in the first place, nobody would have bothered them. They therefore, feel as though they brought the attack on by themselves. Another thing is that many gays are still in the closet. If not in the closet for all, they are at least in the closet insofar as employment is concerned. Some gays have been harassed by the police and therefore, tend to steer clear of law enforcement.
