God bless the women of Kenya.

Kenyan Sex Strike

NAIROBI, Kenya, April 30 (UPI) -- The Women's Development Organization says it is coordinating a sex strike by thousands of Kenyan women to resolve ongoing political turmoil.

Rukia Subow, chairwoman of the organization, said the planned weeklong strike could work as sex is an activity that spans social position, tribal affiliations and political parties, The Daily Telegraph (Britain) reported Wednesday.

"We have looked at all issues which can bring people to talk and we have seen that sex is the answer," Subow said. "It does not know tribe, it does not have a (political) party and it happens in the lowest households."

To intensify its strike, the group is set to seek the support of the wives of President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, the Telegraph said.

The British newspaper said the strike, which will also include the group paying prostitutes to not work, comes as Kenya has been mired in a political deadlock following a disputed election.

Ingenious. If women would close off their honeypots more often, the world would be a much better place.

Aww, fake gangsta Beyonce is so cute. If she came for my bags or that money, I'd ask her if we could be BFFs.

CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta won't be the next surgeon general in the U.S., the neurosurgeon said Thursday.

Gupta, 39, works as a brain surgeon at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta and is an Emmy Award-winning journalist.

"My wife is imminent with our third child. You know, this job … takes us away from our children for so many years at once, and I sort of came to grips with the fact that I'd probably be away at least the first several years. … And I just didn't feel like I should do that now," Gupta said on CNN's Larry King Live program.

Baltimore, My Baltimore

Baltimore is a place that you simultaneously love and hate. The yin and yang are in perfect balance. For every artsy bookstore, blossoming romance, or awesome festival, there's a drug bust, mysterious stench in the air, or That Guy who takes the the word "creepster" to a whole new level.

Yesterday I was out enjoying a fab evening in a revamped downtown when I got sidelined by a little car trouble. A young couple immediately rushed over, heeding their civic duty to stare, make a snarky comment, and walk away.

The yin and the yang. Perfect balance.

Cake Theory

When you discover a fantastic, delicious piece of cake - perhaps the best cake you've ever had in your life - you don't say to yourself, "Boy, that is some fantastic cake right there. Let me sit it on the counter and never touch it." You don't say, "I'm not in a place where I can eat cake right now." You don't say, "Cake, you're just too delicious for me. Let me leave you for someone else." You eat the cake. You eat the cake, right? If you're smart, you eat it first chance you get.

If you're not smart, don't go whining when someone smarter and better-looking eats the cake and then the bakery closes.
