Dear Prudence Should I Leave My Infertile Partner? In a live chat, Dear Prudence advises a man who wants to bolt after learning his girlfriend can't have kids. By Emily Yoffe Posted Monday, Mar 19, 2012, at 07:00 PM ET Emily Yoffe, aka Dear Prudence, is on Washingtonpost.com weekly to chat live with readers. An edited transcript of this week's chat is below. (Sign up here to get Dear Prudence delivered to your inbox each week. Read Prudie's Slate columns here. Send questions to Prudence at prudence@slate.com.) Emily Yoffe: Good afternoon. Spring, spring, spring! Pollen, pollen, pollen! Q. Infertile girlfriend: My amazing girlfriend of four years has been told that she will never have biological children. It was devastating to both of us. She is coming to terms with it and saying things like, "We can look into adoption." While I've been trying to support her, the truth is, I'm now wondering if our relationship can make it. The more I think about adoption, the more uncertain I feel, and it would be unfair to adopt a child without being sure. I've researched a bit on surrogacy and donor eggs and all, and it sounds very complicated and expensive, and there's no guarantee. I know this sounds cold and callous, but the whole infertility issue is beginning to look like a deal breaker for me. Am I being a jerk? A: If you were married, would you divorce her? If you would, there would be general agreement that you were quite the cad. If the situation were reversed and you both discovered you will never be able to father children, would you understand if she said adoption or donor sperm wasn ... To continue reading, click here.

Politics Why Rick Santorum and David Axelrod Agree About Mitt Romney Fending off Romney's attacks in Illinois, Santorum is reaching for a new weapon: the Obama campaign's playbook. By John Dickerson Posted Monday, Mar 19, 2012, at 06:55 PM ET On the eve of the Illinois primary, Rick Santorum looked deep into the heart of Mitt Romney and came up empty. "He doesn't have a core," Santorum said on CBS's This Morning. "He's been on both sides of almost every single issue in the past 10 years." Does that sound familiar? If you wonder where you've heard that before, it came from President Obama's top strategist David Axelrod, who first said Romney lacked a "core" last October. It was then repeated by David Plouffe, a senior adviser to Obama who ran his 2008 campaign. The fact that Santorum is now cribbing from the Democratic playbook is precisely why some Republicans fear a long slog of a primary will damage their chances to beat Barack Obama. Not only is Santorum potentially weakening the likely nominee, but by parroting the administration's critique he lends weight to their claims. If Romney is their opponent, the Obama team will be ready to hit "replay" on the Santorum clip this fall. And that isn't the only Democratic talking point the Santorum campaign is lifting. His chief strategist, John Brabender, is now making an issue out of Romney's private-sector career. "While Mitt Romney was at Bain Capital, almost one out of every four companies they were involved in either went bankrupt or out of business," Brabender said on MSNBC this morning. A couple of months ago, during the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, it was Newt Gingrich ... To continue reading, click here.

Sports Nut Will the Gators Chomp the Tigers? The second round of Slate's NCAA Tournament mascot death match. By Will Oremus Posted Monday, Mar 19, 2012, at 06:08 PM ET In the first round of Slate's NCAA mascot deathmatch, readers picked the Cyclones to level the Huskies, the Rams to bludgeon the Racers, and the Tigers to devour the Billikens. Now it's time to see who advances to the Sweet 16. Can alligators slaughter tigers? Can wolverines bring down bulls? Again, the matchups are five-on-five, and take place in a spacious yet enclosed gym. (For the full rules and the results of our first-round reader surveys, check out the original write-ups.) If you don't agree with my analysis, register your dissent in the surveys below. The second-round winners will be determined based on your choices. Check back later this week to see who won the second-round matchups and vote on the Sweet 16. South Region No. 16 Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils vs. No. 8 Iowa State Cyclones In the mascot tournament, a No. 16 seed has as good a chance as any team to fight its way to the championship. But after tearing through Kentucky's Wildcats in Round 1, the Delta Devils—pointy-eared orange demons who seem to be able to conjure fire from their palms—run into an overwhelming force in this matchup. The cyclone—which is actually a tornado, if you go by the intentions of the 19th-century Iowans who nicknamed the team—uses the demons' pyromania against them, transforming into a nightmarish fire tornado. The demons are immolated in their green capes. No. 5 Wichita State Shockers vs. No. 13 ... To continue reading, click here.

Arts: The Boss Celebrates the Wider World of Pop

Brow Beat The Boss Celebrates the Wider World of Pop Posted Monday, Mar 19, 2012, at 07:34 PM ET Bruce Springsteen might inspire others to privilege rock over the rest of pop, but he does no such thing himself. That's what we learned during his surprising keynote speech from the South by Southwest Music Festival last week. It's worth watching the sweeping 50 minute address in full—Springsteen is insightful, funny, and (perhaps unsurprisingly) not a bad writer—and you can do so via the embed below. While the bulk of his speech focuses on his heroes from folk and rock, Springsteen's opening makes clear that that's only because he's taking some time to tell his particular story, and they're the heroes of the particular genres he works in. He explains that he got class consciousness from The Animals, straightforward storytelling from country music, the importance of live performance from the "still underrated" funk godfather James Brown. (He was also "inspired by the passion in Elvis's pants.") After he plays a few bars of "We Gotta Get Outta This Place" (around 23:05 in the clip above), he reveals, "That's every song I've ever written." (Of course, it's a good song.)

Moneybox: Timid Ben

Moneybox Timid Ben The Atlantic's exceedingly unpersuasive defense of Fed Chairman Bernanke. By Matthew Yglesias Posted Thursday, Mar 15, 2012, at 08:22 PM ET The job of the Federal Reserve system, roughly speaking, is to prevent the economy from spiraling into spasms of uncontrolled inflation or prolonged periods of mass unemployment. Given that the United States is currently in the midst of a prolonged period of mass unemployment, it's safe to say that the Fed has failed. Under the circumstances, it's not difficult to see why its chairman, Ben Bernanke, has come in for large quantities of criticism from both sides—and rightly so. A detailed new apologia from Roger Lowenstein in the Atlantic, based on extensive access to Bernanke, attempts to mount a defense of his tenure, but only confirms his liberal critics' worst fears. Bernanke knows what he needs to do to put people back to work, but refuses to try. To understand what's been so horrifying about Bernanke's turn at the helm, it's useful to review why people like Paul Krugman, who are now his leading critics, were enthusiastic at the time about his reappointment. Krugman and other liberals were taken with Bernanke's work on the Great Depression in the United States and on Japan's long recession in the 1990s, work that led overwhelmingly to the conclusion that a determined monetary policymaker has the tools necessary to end mass unemployment. Bernanke's 1999 essay "Japanese Monetary Policy: A Case of Self-Induced Paralysis" concluded with a bold call for Japan to demonstrate what Bernanke called "Rooseveltian resolve." He wrote that FDR's "specific policy actions ... To continue reading, click here. Join the Fray: our reader discussion forum What did you think of this article?
