Please ignore the president...

Czech Leader Scorns EU Politics

So, embarrassing! Today Czech President Klaus made international headlines as he gave provocative speech at the European Parliament in which he accused the EU of being undemocratic and likened it to communism! I think Klaus is actually a bigger a-hole than Bush - who knew it was possible? Luckily he doesn't have nearly the power Bush had. 

Kiss and Tell

Complex clues in a kiss - BBC

"When you share a kiss with your lover on Valentine's Day, you may be revealing a lot more than you realise.

Locking lips not only stimulates our senses, it also gives us subtle clues about our suitability as mates, US scientists have found.

A man's saliva has a "cocktail of chemicals" hinting at his fertility and evolutionary fitness, they said at a conference in Chicago.

First of all, how can they possibly be having trouble finding people to take part in this study?!? I mean seriously, what kind of a college are they conducting this at?!

Secondly, this reminds me of this one time a few months before I met my husband, I kissed this really good looking German guy I met at a bar in Russia. I was so turned off by the kiss that I just walked a way from him without any explanation. I always thought it was strange and felt kind of bad about it, but maybe his "saliva cocktail" was just repulsive to my senses;) or maybe I'd had too much russian vodka - or not enough. Anyhow, I'm glad that never worked out.
