CULTURE BUZZ: What’s up with all the babies making babies? While some blame President Bush’s insistent promotion of abstinence (or its medical term “Genitalia Imaginaris”), others think that old sleeper hit Juno is to blame.

In the case that McCain is, in fact, voted into office, Black has already been banished to the “loser table” in the White House cafeteria.
