Yep. The magazine is targeted to a female demographic, and the headlines on the cover are mostly about how the putative reader can make herself more attrractive for the man in her life, including the many ways she can be nice to him in the sack. Remember, a generation or more ago, publishing and editorial duties were taken over by the woman who wrote _Sex and the Single Girl_.

This is not John Cameron Swayze’s _Cosmopolitan_.

That said, I haven’t been in a 7-11 for a while, and I have no idea if they sell it.

But NEITHER of them come close to _ **Kapo and her flying vagina** _. Yes, Kapo was Pele’s sister. She once saved Pele by detaching and tossing her vagina at the thugs pursuing Pele.

She didn’t get it back, they kept it. Hopefully they bronzed it.

Yeah, that shit’s Hawaiian.

But it could be medication, it could be nerves, it could be genetically large irises. It doesn’t HAVE to be drugs. Unless your assumption is that she is stupid enough to do a Sixty Minutes interview strung out - and there has been nothing to date that indicates that she’d be likely to do that.

Well, I’m not exactly seeing the incredulity of a porn star doing a bump of coke before she gets behind the camera.

Because hearing Robert Plant wail about “…squeeze my lemon…” and the celebration of Hefner’s Playboy culture provided so much better moral guidance to the youth of the 70’s? Our lawns then were not so green as your Kodachrome haze leads you to recall…

We had a pastor’s wife that would come in the store and turn all the ‘dirty’ (Cosmo, Redbook, Sports Illustrated swimsuit, etc.) around so they wouldn’t harm sensitive eyes. Problem was, hers were the only eyes that seemed to be bothered by it.

Never seen anybody under those huge lights TV cameras use? The pupils get really big.

I don’t know where Sarah Huckster is today, but her backup, Raj Shah, is doing the Q&A today. White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah on Stormy Daniels’ claim that Michael Cohen paid her to remain silent about her alleged affair with Donald Trump: “The White House didn’t engage in any wrongdoing”

> <https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/978335238400167936>

Well, yeah, at the time of the affair and the threat, Trump wasn’t in the White House. That’s a non-denial denial.

Yeah, far be it from me to defend **Starving Artist** , but _Cosmo_ is absolute trash. I don’t know how it’s still around, since most women I know consider it a joke.

Although considering who our First Lady is, I find it amusing **Starving Artist** is whining about pop-stars being “leg-spreaders”. Just google “Melania Trump nudes”.

Then again, maybe Beyonce’s done some girl-on-girl softcore photoshoots, I don’t know. Perhaps **Starving Artist** could enlighten us?

Raj is just another yes-man for Trump. Why do they even have those pressers, they are all a bunch of lies and excuses.

> Back to the topic at hand, if possible. While the interview brought no surprises, I thought that Anderson Cooper did an excellent job of not talking down to Daniels or implying that she is somehow not credible because of what she does for a living. The follow-on piece with Trevor Potter was far more interesting, as he made a case that the payment to Daniels violated campaign rules.

Yup. Again, John Edwards went to trial for doing the same thing (using campaign money to pay off a mistress). He faced 30 years in prison for it. He was not convicted, but according to 60 minutes, the case against Trump is stronger.

I believe Bannon said that up to 100 women were paid off. Who knows how many of them were paid off in ways that potentially broke the law like what happened with Daniels.

Yes, a good competent ride, good solid lower leg, following hands, good pace. Got in a bit too tight to the first jump but managed it well and judged the rest of her fences nicely. I’d love to see her ride at Groton House, the local horse farm that holds a weekend of three-day eventing where I live; that’s the level of course she’d be right for.

He is the anchor for CNN News. CBS must have asked/paid him to do the interview with Daniels, or perhaps she asked for him. I haven’t watched 60 Minutes regularly for years, but my recollection of their staff is that they are usually in muckraking mode, and commenting via facial expressions. Cooper was deadpan, professional and non-judgmental throughout the interview.
