Hey Mister, Watch that Placenta

Thomas Beatie, best known as the pregnant man, has given birth to a second child. Beatie, who is transgendered from a woman to a man has been interviewed on Oprah and appeared bearded and shirtless with enlarged belly in newspapers and magazines the world over. Yet something that annoys me about this story is the media pursuit of validating his claim to be the first pregnant man even though he obviously still has female pluming. Sorry folks, but if you've still got the V-jayjay and Fallopian tubes and facial hair, you are NOT a man. You're a fertile beauty queen from Sicily. *** On to a proven thoroughbred breeder. Kate of Jon & Kate plus 8 could be in need of employment with all the media coverage about the deteriotation of her marriage. Despite Jon's insistance that he didn't stray the two couldn't be further apart emotionally let alone physically on recent episodes and ratings have suffered. But I have hope for Kate and a possible job offer. Researchers at the University of California Davis and Kaiser Permanente are looking for women who are willing to be monitored throughout new pregancies and during their babies early years. Although the study is focused on autism, hey, it's a paycheck. ***
An article appearing on website sources and in my own newspaper featured the headline Bomb Blast in Luxury Pakastani Hotel. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't a luxury hotel in that part of the world be a room WITHOUT a bomb?
