Some things go great together. Chocolate and peanut butter. Milk and cookies. Childbirth and orgasms. What, you disagree? You think that it's unbelievably weird to be thinking about sex while your child is being born? What are you, a stiff? There's a scene in Edward Albee's play " The...

With July 4th coming up in a couple of days, many of us are feeling patriotic. But in our current political climate, patriotism can be a highly charged topic. Personally, I think you should be able to love your country without buying into the ideology of a particular person or political party. More "celebrate...

CBS News sent correspondent Steve Hartman into the field to ask people if they thought his baby was cute. But Steve did something tricky: he used a distorted image of his offspring (not the image at the right; that's Baby-faced Finster from Bugs Bunny). The idea was to see if anyone would say, "Dude...

TMZ has a gallery of before and after pregnancy photos of various celebrities; I won't list the names because in our gossip-fueled media, you probably know who they all are. Whenever I see something like this I think of an interview that Ricki Lake did with David Letterman a few years back. Ricki...

Someone commenting on the High Heels for Newborns story over on Shine mentioned an SNL skit called "Thong Huggies." So I looked. And I found! Enjoy. (Click here if the embedding doesn't work.) You can tell a parent wrote this sketch -- watch the part where they show how badly the diapers...
