"Getting married doesn't improve one's health as much as it used to, according to a new study.

Married people have historically reported better health than their never-married peers. It has generally been accepted that marriage provides social, psychological, and financial resources that improve overall health. But a new study, published in the September issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, suggests the gap is narrowing, particularly for men."

'Oceanside by far had the highest rate of domestic violence in San Diego County last year, and the Police Department suspects the main reason may be because verbal fights are included in the statistics. Other departments don't do that.

The city's No. 1 ranking surprised police Sgt. Aaron Doyle, who helps manage Oceanside's domestic violence investigations.

There were 40 domestic violence incidents reported per 1,000 households in Oceanside, compared with four in Del Mar, which ranked the lowest, according to 2007 statistics from the San Diego Association of Governments.'

'Despite the fact that divorce is rarely triggered by violence or abuse, the incentives to allege that a man is abusive and out of control are undeniable. They tap into age-old stereotypes about men and ensure that Mom becomes the primary custodian. Even without abuse allegations, simple rules of physics (one child cannot be split into two and two cannot be split into four) make it likely that many good fathers will be downgraded from full-time dads to alternating-weekend carpool dads. They will be asked to pay at least a third of their salaries in child support for that privilege. Simple rules of modern life make it likely that an ex-wife will someday decide that a job or new husband demands a move to a faraway state. At which point the alternating-weekend-carpool dad is again demoted, to a Thanksgivings-if-you're-lucky dad.'

Despite Hillary's ridiculous assertion that woman are the primary victims of war, the truth is, it's men for the most part who do the fighting and dying. And we are on the verge of going back into that in a big way.

Selective Service, The Draft, Conscription, whatever you want to call it, is involuntary servitude that governments place men into. At the risk of being accused of at least being a pessimist and at most a seditionist, we are on the verge of WWIII, and thius on the verge of a new draft, which to this day is applied only to men of a certain age. I suppose I may also be accused of being overly dramatic as well, fine. Read this and then tell me I'm rushing to judgment.

'About 240 women a day are arrested for violent crime in England and Wales, according to recent figures.

Police in Scotland and Northern Ireland say, anecdotally, they have also seen an increase in female violence.

The chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, Paul McKeever, said there was a "new phenomenon" of women using violence and joining gangs.'

'It is a truth universally acknowledged that Barack Obama must continue to grovel to Hillary Clinton’s dead-enders, some of whom mutter darkly that they will not only not vote for him, they will never vote for a man again.

Obama met for an hour Tuesday with three dozen top Hillaryites at a hotel here, seeking their endorsement and beguiling their begrudging. He opened the session by saying that he knew there had been frustration about what they saw as sexism during the primary.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Hillary die-hards want to enshrine a whine in the Democratic platform about how the primaries “exposed pervasive gender bias in the media” and call on party leaders to take “immediate and public steps” to denounce any perceived bias in the future. That is one nutty idea.'

'Police arrested a Pocono Pines woman after they say she admitted lying to investigators when she accused her ex-boyfriend of assault and rape.

Elissa Easterling, 27, is accused of lying to Pocono Mountain Regional Police by falsely accusing a man of beating and raping her.
...

'Tortsen Rockwood had been dead five years when "Ahwatukee Sue" broke her silence.

The father of her son hadn't killed himself in the kitchen of their Phoenix apartment in February 2001, she claimed.

In fact, she was the one who took his 9mm pistol, aimed at his heart and pulled the trigger. She did so because he wouldn't pay child support

At least, that's the story Ahwatukee Sue gave to a nationally syndicated radio show in late 2006.

Authorities say they have identified and are seeking charges against the woman behind Ahwatukee Sue, a moniker familiar to Tom Leykis Show fans since the call aired.'

'An elderly woman convicted of killing her 85-year-old ex-boyfriend because she thought he was seeing another woman was granted a new trial Friday, more than two years after she was sentenced to life in prison.

A jury convicted 81-year-old Lena Driskell of killing Herman Winslow in 2005 at the Atlanta assisted living home where they had both lived, but her new attorneys argued that her defense team was ineffective.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville agreed, saying Driskell's previous lawyers didn't object to key testimony and didn't press for a charge of manslaughter, which carries a lesser sentence.'

'Anibal and Vivian Crespo were divorced and rearing their children in the same household when they had a fight, and Vivian asked for a restraining order. Anibal was not charged with any crime, but the judge issued the restraining order, which banned Anibal from his own house and thereby separated him from his children.

Anibal made several good arguments that the New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act is unconstitutional. Judge Francis B. Schultz rejected most of those arguments, but he cited a long line of cases holding that "clear and convincing evidence" is required in order to take away fundamental rights, such as a parent's right over the care and custody of his children.
...
It's time to restore basic constitutional rights to husbands and fathers by repudiating the feminist agenda that considers men guilty unless proven innocent.'
