BFD

I've written before about how I believe our current president continually assaults the decorum and appropriateness of his office on a regular basis. And then when you think that he or someone around him can't sully the high office of the presidency even more, they do it again.

I won't link to the Twitter account of the selfish man-child Obama, but I'm sure you'll find it if you look hard enough.

Possibly the "D" of "BFD" can be modified slightly from its original occurance.

Douche comes to mind.

Do you have any suggestions?

Deadly Double - A Story of World War II Espionage

After the Japanese bombed the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States became consumed with paranoia. For a time it seemed as though every bush concealed a Japanese or Nazi spy, saboteur, or subversive, each boring into the nation's vital core like a worm into a rotten apple.

In this atmosphere of spy mania, the FBI and local law enforcement officers received thousands of calls from frantic citizens claiming to have witnessed suspicious individuals and activities. One investigation focused on a peculiar advertisement placed in the New Yorker magazine sixteen days before Pearl Harbor. 

The ad was for a new dice game called The Deadly Double. It actually consisted of two ads, a small "teaser" in the front of the magazine and a full-size ad on page 86. The smaller version showed the words "Achtung! Warning! Alerte!" above a pair of dice with the numbers 12, 24, and XX (the double-cross sign), and 0, 5, and 7. The larger ad contained an unusual cartoon depicting a group of partygoers, clad in formal attire, playing dice in an air-raid shelter. A paragraph of text beneath that urged readers to include the dice game along with other essentials, such as coffee, cigarettes, and blankets, in their home air-raid kits. Finally, at the very bottom of the advertisement there was printed a large double-headed eagle, presumably the logo of the game.

After Pearl Harbor, many speculated that the ad had been a code notifying spies in the United States that war was about to commence. For example, the 12 and 7 could have indicated the date of the attack, December 7th; the air raid graphic might mean that it was slated to begin with an aerial bombardment; and the XX could signify either the latitude of the target (20, running through Hawaii) or, more generally, a double-cross. Some interpreted the name "Deadly Double" as an allusion to the Axis partners, Germany and Japan. Indeed, the double-headed eagle was very reminiscent of the German heraldic symbol.

FBI agents discovered that the Monarch Trading Company, credited on the ad as the game's manufacturer, was actually a dummy corporation. A white male, who had not given his name or address, had brought the plates for the ad directly to the New Yorker office and paid in cash to have it published. Curiously, after tracking him down the FBI uncovered that the man had met a sudden, violent death a few weeks later.

Swamped by so many other calls in the wake of Pearl Harbor, FBI agents were never able to determine whether The Deadly Double was really a part of an espionage ring inside the United States.

The numbers 12 and 7 could have represented the month (December) and the day (the 7th) and the numbers 5 and 0 the time of the planned attack.  The XX could have stood for the approximate latitude of the target.  The numbers 24 could have been a code to designate which enemy has actually placed the ad.

The layout and drawing of the larger ad on page 86 brought about more theories regarding the intended message.  A drawing of what appears to be the noses of three bomber planes flying over the ocean toward their target, which everyone assumed to be Pearl Harbor with what looks like a bomb exploding on the water, antiaircraft shells bursting in the skies, and searchlight beams crisscrossing the sky.

Dissection

I'll eventually have my say about the court decision from yesterday, but until then I continue to read the opinions of others which helps me formulate my own.

Generally speaking I understand the law. But it is complex and convoluted as was yesterday's decision and it'll take me some time to digest all of it. What I do know is that this is a very bad law that was passed under less than scrupulous circumstances using lies and subterfuge at every chance. I also know that if we don't elect Romney, hold the House and take the Senate from the Democrats then our Republic will never return to the way it once was. Progress is only as good as the path of truth that leads to it.

Anyway, read this great piece by Sean Trende.

I keep seeing people use this clip to attack Romney. But no one ever plays the part that starts around 4:19.

 

I'm so damn tired of this sh*t

For years, the oppressed ran to America for freedom, both economic and personal.  Where do Americans run to?  Where does anyone run to anymore?  There is no place to go.

We are jobless and hopeless.  My step ladder was stolen from my front yard  in broad daylight.  To be scrapped for metal by someone so desperate.  I see people walking down the sidewalk with aluminum house gutters folder under their arms, carrying them to scrap.  I witnessed an elderly lady trying to pry the re-bar from a concrete parking barrier.

The entire world is practicing austerity, cutting everything and anything, just to keep their governments afloat.  What do we do?  We pass the largest tax in American history and create a massive government program that will infiltrate all areas of life.

How can we be so damn dumb?  What the hell has happened here?

I'm tired boss...dog tired.

UPDATE:  Not that I'm feeling any better, and completely off topic, but I thought I'd let Ali Blah Blah know that there's some new pictures of Dee from What's Happening out there.  He had expressed concerned with the lack of material of the 70's icon.

Black Flag

I fly the American flag proudly outside of my house. In the morning when I unfurl it, it will be displayed upside down because this country is under attack and in distress due to the malfeasance of our elected leaders and by the activist judges they appoint.

I an not a lawyer. And I am not a constitutional scholar. I am good at about six things and none of them qualifies me as an expert on law, the making of laws or the disposition of those laws. What I do have is a wonderful instinct that tells me this law is awful and a red-handed over-reach of power by our government.

My flag will fly in distress until November when we are hopefully going to vote out the people who feel entitled to overrun the people of this nation.

They easily forget that this nation has stood up to tyranny before and it didn't work out to well for the tyrant.

Lady...I don't have a lot of sympathy

I mean I do, but I don't.  What the hell did she expect?

British journalist Natasha Smith writes about her experience during the Egyptian "revolution".

The atmosphere was one of jubilation, excitement, and happiness as I walked, accompanied by two male companions for safety along Kasr El Nil bridge. I had had an awful day, caused by problems in personal relationships, so I was so happy to be in such a wonderful environment, getting such amazing footage. Women, children and fathers smiled, waved, and cheered happily at the camera, calling out the widely used phrase “welcome to Egypt! Welcome!”. Fireworks lit up the sky. It was a moving and captivating experience. 

Just as I realised I had reached the end of the bridge, I noticed the crowd became thicker, and decided immediately to turn around to avoid Tahrir Square. My friends and I tried to leave. I tried to put my camera back in my rucksack. 

But in a split second, everything changed. Men had been groping me for a while, but suddenly, something shifted. I found myself being dragged from my male friend, groped all over, with increasing force and aggression. I screamed. I could see what was happening and I saw that I was powerless to stop it. I couldn’t believe I had got into this situation. 

My friend did everything he could to hold onto me. But hundreds of men were dragging me away, kicking and screaming. I was pushed onto a small platform as the crowd surged, where I was hunched over, determined to protect my camera. But it was no use. My camera was snatched from my grasp. My rucksack was torn from my back – it was so crowded that I didn’t even feel it. The mob stumbled off the platform – I twisted my ankle. 

Men began to rip off my clothes. I was stripped naked. Their insatiable appetite to hurt me heightened. These men, hundreds of them, had turned from humans to animals.Hundreds of men pulled my limbs apart and threw me around. They were scratching and clenching my breasts and forcing their fingers inside me in every possible way. So many men. All I could see was leering faces, more and more faces sneering and jeering as I was tossed around like fresh meat among starving lions.

Ms. Smith writes that she is not religious.  Neither were the people who attacked her.  They are members of a sadistic death cult that subjugates women and children to the status of animals.  That is what she should have been writing about.  It appears Ms. Smith still has not learned her lesson.

The Mystery Scars on Obama's Head

I thought I noticed large scars across Obama's cranium.

Internet blog sites, conspiracy theorists and forums are awash with rumours as to what those mystery scars on the president's head are from.

In pictures, Obama appears to have a long scar which goes up the side of his head and over his crown.

Some conspiracy theorists claim they are scars that you would see on someone who has had brain surgery.

But without medical records (along with his school records and birth certificate) no one seems to be able to provide an answer as to the cause of the mystery scars.

No.  Brain surgery is what he needs.  Not what he had.  A more plausible explanation for the scars on Obam's head...the man got his head a little to close to that bear trap Michelle calls a vagina.

I know Shirl...it's wrong...But if they're going to throw me softballs, I'm gonna hit 'em.  Now give me that million dollar smile.

New Regs Limit Slopes for Mini-Golf

It's Obama's world.  We're only living in it.

Although the Justice Department has extended the deadline for America’s hotels to comply with regulations regarding handicap access to swimming pools, new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines are already being applied at miniature golf courses, driving ranges, amusement parks, shooting ranges and saunas. 

Among the provisions in the "Revised ADA Standards for Accessible Design," which went into effect on March 15, is one requiring businesses to allow miniature horses on their premises as guide animals for the disabled. Another limits the height of slopes on miniature golf holes.

I am about to stand outside in the blistering heat for most of the day while I and my brother try to manage our daily schedule and the 20 employees we have while worrying over the usual things associated with operating your own business.

Our dad did it before us, his father before him and we owe it all to the both of them for our good fortune and also for instilling within us a strong work ethic. We've always worked hard and always will.

Then, this morning, I read this article about an advertising campaign paid for with my tax dollars that is encouraging people to throw parties in an effort to share with others the wonderful world of food stamps. Couple this story with the news of a woman being fired for refusing to sell cigarettes to someone with an EBT (food stamp) card and it has become clear that our government is a clear and present danger to our well-being.

Eventually, the great working mass of our population will tire of supporting the ever-greater minority of those on the dole and that fact is going to make for a long, hot summer.

Taxpayer beware.

Some Men Shouldn't Be Allowed to Coach

A Canadian youth hockey coach trips an opposing player during the post-game handshake.  What a french turd!

Now, the coach connected with the trip is facing unspecified charges related to the incident, with eyewitness testimony being taken in an effort to determine whether the coach's trip truly was intentional. 

If it was, the coach in question clearly has larger issues to work through. The dangerous on-ice reaction led to an injury for the victim, whoused both of his wrists to break his fall and suffered minor injuries in the process.

Dead Terrorists...er uh Pakistanis Arrive in New Jersey

They were found aboard a cargo ship.  Classified as "stowaways".  Uh, OK, these are the dead ones.  What about the ones that have come here and lived?  And then disappeared?

NEWARK, N.J. -- A cargo ship carrying stowaways from Pakistan -- some believed to be dead -- arrived at Port Newark, N.J., Wednesday.  

US Customs agents and Coast Guard personnel took charge of the scene after Port Authority police swarmed the port at Berth 57 to meet the ship, a Port Authority source said. 
Port Authority police were tipped off to the stowaways aboard the Villa De Aquarius, but officials did not say how.  

"They're coming in to Port Newark, that's what we know at this point," a source said. 
A Port Authority police spokesman did not immediately respond to calls.  

Police were notified about 7:20am local time, law enforcement source said. 

"There is a faint knocking coming out of a container very close to the bottom of the pile." 
"It's going to take a while to get all those containers unloaded to get to this one," the official said.

Michelle Obama Descended from Slave Owner

She is owed reparations.  But she has to pay it to herself.

She is the mule.  Someone give her 40 acres.

The bloodlines of Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Tribble extend back to a 200-acre farm that was not far from here. One of their common ancestors was Henry Wells Shields, Mrs. Tribble’s great-great-grandfather. He was a farmer and a family man who grew cotton, Indian corn and sweet potatoes. He owned Mrs. Obama’s maternal great-great-great-grandmother, Melvinia Shields, who was about 8 years old when she arrived on his farm sometime around 1852.The DNA tests and research indicate that one of his sons, Charles Marion Shields, is the likely father of Melvinia’s son Dolphus, who was born around 1860. Dolphus T. Shields was the first lady’s maternal great-great-grandfather. His identity and that of his mother, Melvinia, were first reported in an article in The New York Times in 2009, which also indicated that he must have had a white father.

As I contemplate the weird beauty of Stephanie Abrahms I mutter a small prayer that the world will be back to normal, but then I'll flip over to the news or read something on a website that jerks my half-awake being back into the world in which I actually live.

Turkey and Syria - Is Anyone Paying Attention?

What we've learned this past year is that the status quo in the Middle East is the better option.  Despite Assad's backing by Russia and China, the alternative is going to be worse.  If Assad is ousted, radical Islam will replace him.  We already know this to be a fact.  Doesn't Turkey know this?  Do they want Iran, Jr. on their border?

The Turkish military mobilized large numbers of reinforcements from its eastern provinces to the Syrian border on Tuesday, amid rising tension with Damascus, after the downing by Syria of a Turkish Air Force jet on Friday, Turkish media reported. 

Large numbers of Turkish troops — including at least 15 long-range artillery pieces and tanks – moved to the Syrian frontier from the eastern city of Diyarbakir. A video published by the Turkish Cihan News Agency showed Turkish tanks being transported by carrier trucks toward the frontier.

New Program Teaches Border Agents to Run or Hide When Confronted by Illegal Aliens

This note from the Local 2544, National Border Patrol Council:

In another nauseating series of "Virtual Learning Center" brainwashing courses that Border Patrol agents are forced to sit behind a computer for hours and endure, we are now taught in an "Active Shooter" course that if we encounter a shooter in a public place we are to "run away" and "hide". If we are cornered by such a shooter we are to (only as a last resort) become "aggressive" and "throw things" at him or her. We are then advised to "call law enforcement" and wait for their arrival (presumably, while more innocent victims are slaughtered).

One of the videos in this course actually shows a terrified female hiding behind a desk as an example of how to "hide" from some deranged shooter. Multiple quizzes throughout the course and a final test ensure repeatedly that we know that we only have three options when encountering some murderous thug in a public place. 1. Run away; 2. Hide; and 3. Only put up a fight as a last resort by acting aggressively and throwing things at the shooter.

"I can haz job as a border agent?"

U.S. Army Spent $5 Billion on Failed Camouflage Because it Wanted to Look Cooler than Marines

This is a picture of my great great great grandfather, when he was a confederate soldier during the Civil War.  This is the uniform he wore...

When my grandfather was in the Army, during World War II, he wore a uniform like this...

My father served in the Army in the early 60's, he wore a uniform like this (he was not Elvis Presley)...

Here's a photo from basic training in 1987, at Fort Knox, at the time I was in the Army...

And then there's this story...

The U.S. Army is set to replace its 'Universal Camouflage Pattern' less than a decade after it was first introduced at a cost of $5billion. 

The design, which combines grey and green blotches in a pixellated pattern, was supposed to disguise soldiers equally well in desert and in more temperate terrain.But critics claim that the camouflage did not work properly in either environment - and some have even suggested that its main purpose was to make the Army appear 'more cool' than the Marines.

The problem was apparently that Army commanders were envious of a cutting-edge new camouflage recently developed by the Marine Corps which incorporated pixels rather than the more traditional waves of colour.So officials from PEO Soldier, which is responsible for procuring equipment, ordered developers to adapt their new grey-green colour scheme into the pixel pattern - even though experts argued this compromise would leave soldiers vulnerable in battle. 

'Brand identity trumped camouflage utility,' according to military journalist Eric Graves. 'That's what this really comes down to: we can't allow the Marine Corps to look more cool than the Army.' 

The results, according to some of the soldiers who had to wear the new uniform after it was introduced in 2004, was a disaster.

'Essentially, the Army designed a universal uniform that universally failed in every environment,' an Army specialist who served in Iraq told The Daily. 'The only time I have ever seen it work well was in a gravel pit.'He continued: 'As a cavalry scout, it is my job to stay hidden. Wearing a uniform that stands out this badly makes it hard to do our job effectively. If we can see our own guys across a distance because of it, then so can our enemy.'

Ben Franklin on the Advantages of an Older Mistress

One of the best things I've read in a while.

Ben Franklin...You were awesome!

On June 25th of 1745, Benjamin Franklin wrote the following letter of advice to Cadwallader Colden. The first paragraph sees Franklin suggesting marriage as the best remedy for Colden's sexual urges; what follows is an eight-strong list detailing the advantages of an older mistress which, due to its "obscene" nature, resulted in the letter being omitted from published collections of his writings during the 19th Century.

Transcript

June 25, 1745

My dear Friend,

I know of no Medicine fit to diminish the violent natural Inclinations you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper Remedy. It is the most natural State of Man, and therefore the State in which you are most likely to find solid Happiness. Your Reasons against entring into it at present, appear to me not well-founded. The circumstantial Advantages you have in View by postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with that of the Thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the Man and Woman united that make the compleat human Being. Separate, she wants his Force of Body and Strength of Reason; he, her Softness, Sensibility and acute Discernment. Together they are more likely to succeed in the World. A single Man has not nearly the Value he would have in that State of Union. He is an incomplete Animal. He resembles the odd Half of a Pair of Scissars. If you get a prudent healthy Wife, your Industry in your Profession, with her good Economy, will be a Fortune sufficient.

But if you will not take this Counsel, and persist in thinking a Commerce with the Sex inevitable, then I repeat my former Advice, that in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these:

1. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor’d with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreable.

2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman.

3. Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc’d may be attended with much Inconvenience.

4. Because thro’ more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin’d to excuse an old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.

5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

6. Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy.

7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend the making an old Woman happy.

8. They are so grateful!!

Thus much for my Paradox. But still I advise you to marry directly; being sincerely

Your affectionate Friend,

B. Franklin

The Least Interesting Man in the World

Wake the hell up!

I've been sounding this alarm since 1990.  No one listens, and I blog in my underwear.  So someone more important needs to pay attention.

A must read article.

If Moyo's calculations are correct, we are in big trouble – which makes the central premise of her book, Winner Takes All, all the more arresting. Governments across the world, she writes, have singularly failed to grasp what's coming – with one sensational exception. "Simply put, the Chinese are on a global shopping spree." State-sponsored Chinese corporations are busy buying up commodities across Africa, North America, the Middle East, South America – anywhere they can – in a concerted strategy to seize control of resources before the rest of the world wakes up to the looming crisis. They're striking deals with what she calls the "axis of the unloved" – developing countries rich in commodities but poor in political and economic capital – in return for much needed investment, employment and infrastructure. Extravagant shoppers, the Chinese are happy to pay over the odds, treating their trading partners not as poverty-ridden charity cases nor political pariahs but valued commercial equals. But when the resources begin to run dry, the consequences will be catastrophic. Already, since 1990 at least 18 violent conflicts worldwide have been triggered by competition for resources. If nothing is done now, warns Moyo, commodity wars on a terrifying scale are all but inevitable.

And this was 3 years ago:

Chinese troops have been seen on the streets of Zimbabwe's third largest city, Mutare, according to local witnesses. They were seen patrolling with Zimbabwean soldiers before and during Tuesday's ill-fated general strike called by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). 

Earlier, 10 Chinese soldiers armed with pistols checked in at the city's Holiday Inn along with 70 Zimbabwean troops. 

One eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said: "We've never seen Chinese soldiers in full regalia on our streets before. The entire delegation took 80 rooms from the hotel, 10 for the Chinese and 70 for Zimbabwean soldiers." 

Officially, the Chinese were visiting strategic locations such as border posts, key companies and state institutions, he said. But it is unclear why they were patrolling at such a sensitive time. They were supposed to stay five days, but left after three to travel to Masvingo, in the south.
China's support for President Mugabe's regime has been highlighted by the arrival in South Africa of a ship carrying a large cache of weapons destined for Zimbabwe's armed forces. Dock workers in Durban refused to unload it.

Study Finds that Antarctica Was Much Cooler 20 Million Years Ago than Today

Which, of course, means earth was much warmer as well at that time.  Who is to blame for how warm it was 20 million years ago?  No one.  That's why you'll never hear about this in the mainstream media.

By examining plant leaf wax remnants in sediment core samples taken from beneath the Ross Ice Shelf, the research team found summer temperatures along the Antarctic coast 15 to 20 million years ago were 20 degrees Fahrenheit (11 degrees Celsius) warmer than today, with temperatures reaching as high as 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius). Precipitation levels also were found to be several times higher than today.

Obama Campaign Dropping Big Money on Junk Food

This is bound to draw the ire of The First Chaka...

FOOD: It is claimed that Napoleon said that “armies march on their stomachs,” and the same is true for campaigns. The Obama campaign spent $96,389.41 on catering/facilities. The largest single expenditure in that category was $13,128.72 to Big Delicious Planet catering in Chicago. The campaign also spent $2,571.27 at a Subway sandwich shop in Columbus, Ind. 

Nationwide, the Obama campaign has clear preferences for coffee; it spent $552.67 at Dunkin’ Donuts, $389.85 at Einstein Bros. Bagels, $229.22 at Starbucks, and only $183.15 at Caribou Coffee. The campaign has spent $239.38 at 7-Eleven.

The Obama campaign appears to run on pizza: $2,084.37 went to Domino’s Pizza, $1,774.78 went to Pizzanno’s Pizza, $1,167.45 went to Papa John’s, $834.03 went to Pizza Hut, and $362 went to Little Caesars. 

(One hopes Michelle Obama won’t find out that some Obama campaign staffer in Winston-Salem, N.C., spent $239.39 at Krispy Kreme.)

Mother Forced to Clean Up Her Sons Remains After Drunk Illegal Alien Killed Him

Amnesty?

A grieving mother told a South Carolina court she was slapped with several bills, including one to clean the street after her son was killed by a drunken driver last year. 

Loretta Robinson spoke on June 19 of the emotional and financial toll her son Justin Walker's death had on her as the driver Anna Gonzales, who is an illegal immigrant, pleaded guilty in the case. 

Robinson told the judge she has been unable to work due to the emotional impact of her son's death, and can't pay the bills she keeps receiving from the accident even though her son was not at fault, WYFF reports.

"I had to pay to have the vehicle towed," she said according to WYFF. "I had to pay for the vehicle removed and to clean up the street from Justin's blood on the ground."

Michelle Obama's War on Cranberries

Everything the Obama's do costs jobs...

The First Lady is not making many friends in the cranberry industry. 

Thanks to Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative, the Department of Agriculture will soon create stricter guidelines for what can be sold in school vending machines and cafeterias. This could signal the end of young people drinking cranberry juice cocktail — and that's bad news for the cranberry industry. 

Yes, cranberry juice cocktail. It's made with real fruit, sure, but it's also full of sugar. Cranberries are incredibly bitter and tart on their own, which is why they're usually mixed with an awful lot of sweetener. Despite the nutrition benefits, these sugary blends may not mesh with new guidelines. 

At stake is exclusion from an estimated $2.3 billion school vending machine business and an image that could have a negative impact on the marketing of cranberry products worldwide, particularly cranberry juice cocktail, industry officials say.

"If we're put into a category that says these types of products are unhealthy, we think it would be inaccurate and unfair," said Tom Lochner, executive director of the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association. "Lumping us in with other beverages that don't have the health benefits associated with them that cranberries do is definitely going to affect our ability to sell cranberry products."

If I would have had this growing up...Well, yeah, I'd probably be dead.  But a more competent kid would have had a lot of fun with this.

How Obama Romanced Chewbacca...er uh Michelle

Sickening video really. Akin to tips on how to club baby seals.

The president continues: ‘Then we went to see Do The Right Thing’ 

And Mrs Obama nods saying ‘Spike Lee – it had just come out.  

‘He showed all the sides – he was hip, cutting edge, cultural, sensitive. The fountain – nice touch,’ she continues.

These Prehistoric Turtles Died While Having Sex

Man, the crap you find on the internet.

Some 47 million years ago, these turtles clung to each other as they mated in a German lake. Now fossilised, the members of this species are the only known examples of vertebrates fossilised during copulation. 

What killed the turtles, leaving them in this eternal embrace? Joyce thinks that the volcanic activity beneath the lake meant that poisonous gases like carbon dioxide seeped up though the lake bed, turning the bottom of the lake into a toxic bath.

 47 million years years old?  Way to old to be having sex!

Bugging Out

Chinese Duped into Buying Fake Vaginas...Thought They were Medicinal Mushrooms

And this is world's next super power?

An investigative journalism programme which airs on Xi'an TV, has become a national laughing stock after airing a report on June 17 on a "mystery mushroom" which was discovered by villagers in a rural part of the city. 

Residents of the Liucunbu village on the outskirts of the capital of the Shaanxi province say they came across a strange fungi-like object as they hit bedrock while drilling a new well. The perplexed villagers decided to call up their local TV station for help, which sent intrepid reporter Ye Yunfeng to their sleepy little hamlet to get down to the bottom of things. 

One villager who was there during the fateful discovery of the unidentified object tells the reporter, "When we dug down to about 80m deep, we fished out this long, fleshy object. It's got a nose and an eye, but we have no idea what it is!" 

"Even our 80-year-old neighbour here says he has never seen anything like this before," he adds. 

Reporter Ye then begins to describe the curious object as the camera pans in on it. "As we can all see, this looks like a type of fungus, on both ends of which you'll find mushroom heads."
"On this side, you can see what looks like a pair of lips," she adds. "And on that side, there is a tiny hole which extends all the way back to this side. The object looks very shiny, and it feels really fleshy and meaty too." 

"I've done my own research on the internet," says the afore-mentioned villager. "It's a type of lingzhi mushroom, called the taisui." [Editor's note: Taisui refers to 60 celestial generals named in the Chinese zodiac.] 

Without skipping a beat, reporter Ye chimes in with her own research, saying this type of lingzhi is generally found in the Shaanxi region deep underground and is hence rarely seen. "When the Emperor Qin Shi Huang was on the hunt for the secret to longevity," she elucidates, "it is said he discovered this lingzhi was the answer." 

Eagle-eyed viewers who saw the report on Sunday immediately identified the mystery mushroom as a double-headed masturbation toy with an artificial vagina on one side and an artificial anus on the other. Yes, you read that right, it was a jack-off aid that some guy used to spank his monkey when he wasn't getting it from his wife.

There are pictures and video I won't show here.  But you can see them here

And the Chinese, being the entrepreneurs that they are, quickly seized on the confusion to make some cash...

One very enterprising street cleaner who makes additional income by hawking things off the street is now passing off artificial vajayjays as the long lost magic mushroom, and selling them for as much as 18,000RMB (US$2,800)!  

He even has a highly authoritative sales pitch playing off his laptop on loop -- the Xi'an TV news report which has since gone viral all over the world. 

When one "prospective buyer" questions the man about the veracity of the report, he answers matter-of-factly, "It's on the news. How can it be fake?" 

Pointing to the cheapest taisui available which is labelled "young mushroom" and going for a very affordable 800RMB, the buyer fails to contain his laughter as he asks the seller how old the mushroom is. 

"About ten years old," came the response. 

"Why doesn't it have an 'eye' then?" 

"That's because it hasn't matured fully," replied the seasoned salesman. "Once it's fully grown, it'll have the 'eye'."

You know, I half-way expect that mantyhose salesman to stop by and call me closed-minded and ignorant for bringing this to light.

Gays Flip Finger at Ronald Reagan at White House Party

Let me see.  How can I put this without offending anyone?  What else would you expect from guys who put co*ks in their mouth and girls who strap them on?

Last Friday, an attaché of important gay people from Philadelphia made a trip to Washington D.C. as invited guests of President Barack Obama for the White House’s first-ever gay pride reception. There, they danced to the sounds of a Marine Corps band; they dined on crab cakes and canapés; they hand-delivered letters from concerned citizens like this 18-year old who has had four people close to him gunned down, and noted rhyming raconteur CA Conrad; and some of them took advantage of photo opportunities to give the late President Ronald Reagan the middle finger.

Paid for by taxpayer money of course.
