According to the BBC, Bonobos are not having sex all the time. Joe DeVito was on the show last week, and we talked about an Anderson Cooper episode of 60 Minutes where he talks about Bonobos solving all their problems through copulation. Turns out Bonobos are more like humans than previously believed, and by “more like humans” we mean they too have sex hangups.
The reality is more nuanced. The frequency of copulation in bonobos is not as high as most people assume, she says. “In terms of reproduction they are not more sexually active than chimps.”
Chef Jeremiah Tower is the father of California cuisine and the subject of the new documentary The Last Magnificent. We talk about Chez Panisse, Stars and how he created the whole farm to table movement.
When Bush found out Bremer sent Iraqi troops home he wanted to strangle him. Instead he gave him a presidential medal of freedom.
Ladies and gentlemen! She got him! Kudos to Erin Burnett for taking Paul Bremer to the woodshed after he tries to blame President Obama for the situation in Iraq. Bremer now says Iraq needs more troops. Well, there were plenty of Iraqi troops eleven years ago ass swipe, but you were the one who sent them home. That’s what created the insurgency. The unemployed Iraqi soldiers who took off their uniforms but kept their weapons. And by the way, Bremer did that on his own. He sent the Iraqi troops home without consulting Bush who was absolutely livid when he found out. This is the man most responsible for the insurgency. He’s got his talking points down, but Erin Burnett had none of it. Watch:
