Here’s The Confusion
This is a follow-up to the earlier post on whether or not gay men are more promiscuous than heterosexual men. I just read the transcript of Ann Coulter’s comments at Kaus:
Mr. BEINART: It’s called bigotry, Ann. What part of bigotry don’t you understand?
Ms. COULTER: Are you claiming that gays are generally not more promiscuous? Is that what you’re claiming? Are both of you maintaining that gays are not–some segment of gays are not more promiscuous than heterosexuals? Is that the big point here?
KUDLOW: I…
Mr. BEINART: I’m saying that I don’t know that there’s any empirical evidence whatsoever here.
Ms. COULTER: No. I’m asking Larry here.
Mr. BEINART: And it’s a–it’s a–it’s a bigoted stereotype that you are fomenting.
Ms. COULTER: You don’t know any evidence that gays are more promiscuous than heterosexuals?
Mr. BEINART: Where’s your–where’s your evidence, Ann?
Ms. COULTER: Where have you been?
Mr. BEINART: Where’s your evidence?
Ms. COULTER: It’s a fact.
Mr. BEINART: Give me the evidence. Cite chapter and verse. You have no evidence whatsoever.
Ms. COULTER: I just cited the bathhouses. We don’t have heterosexual bathhouses. It’s well known.
Can anyone tell me what modifier is missing throughout this exchange (in which, while I’m not a big Coulter fan, and generally like Beinart, he comes off as an ignorant ass)? Hint, this isn’t strictly about homosexual versus straight.
Oh, and for extra bonus points, is it a societal given that “gay” applies only to males, and not to homosexual females (i.e., lesbians)?

Unlucky Criminal Tricks
Space Podding
Popular Mechanics has a new podcast up with interviews with Bob Bigelow (presumably on space hotels) and Tom Jones about spacewalking (among other non-space topics).
Fewer Scientists and Engineers
The Economist this week takes on the myth that we need our education system and economy to produce more scientists and engineers. If scientists and engineers are so valuable, why do they make less money than doctors, lawyers and business consultants? I shudder every time I hear doom predicted because of Asian engineers.

Hot Off The Press
The latest roundup of links at New Space News is up.
Because They Can
Ann Althouse (who’s guest blogging over at Instapundit while Glenn does vital research on diving equipment in the Caymans) asks if it’s bigoted to say that homosexual men are more promiscuous than heterosexual men.
Well, of course it’s not (despite the fact that Ann Coulter said it). It’s an obvious fact. But it’s not because homosexual men are hornier than heterosexual men–it’s because their partners are both much more willing and eager to put out, and to put up with promiscuity. Women serve as a governor on the libidinous urges of men. When men do it with men, there’s nothing to damp the activity level.
In The Crosshairs
I’m flying back to Florida Friday night. It looks like the first business of the day will be putting up the shutters. I sure don’t like the track of this storm. If it holds up, it’s headed right for Palm Beach County.
[Update late morning EDT]
The latest track looks a little better for us, but not good for the Keys.
