Since the political races are getting lined up, I figured it was time that I started seeing what was going on out there. Well, wouldn't you know it, the first thing I found was a little story on Miss Hillary. Seems that now that she is running for the office of the president (which by the way, she said she wouldn't in order to get re-elected in New York), she needs to let everyone know what her views on the war are. She gave a little speech a few weeks ago where she stated:
"Sen. Clinton attempted to explain her 2002 vote in favor of a Senate resolution "to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq" (S.J. Res. 45): "I said that we should not go to war unless we have allies. So (President Bush) took the authority that I and others gave him and he misused it, and I regret that deeply. And if we had known then what we know now, there never would have been a vote, and I never would have voted to give this president that authority."
Hmmm, then wouldn't you know it...someone finds a clip of a speech she gave to an anti war group (Code Pink) in 2003 where she said this:
"Sen. Clinton tried to justify her pro-war vote: "There is a very easy way to prevent anyone from being put into harm's way, that is for Saddam Hussein to disarm. And I have absolutely no belief that he will. I have to say that this is something I've followed for more than a decade. If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming. ... I ended up voting for the resolution after carefully reviewing the information, intelligence that I had available, talking with people whose opinions I trusted, trying to discount the political or other factors that I didn't believe should be in any way part of this decision."
Sen. Clinton also told the Code Pink women that sometimes the United States has to go it alone and she specifically compared Iraq with Bosnia and Kosovo "where my husband could not get a Security Council resolution to save the Kosovar Albanians from ethnic cleansing. And we did it alone as the United States, and we had to do it alone."
See it all here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYATbsu2cP8
She also has some comments about Bush going to war offering tax cuts and what a mistake that will be. Perhaps her little crystal ball was a little foggy that day. Has she check the papers lately?
This election is going to be so much fun. With Hillary and Obama trading shots, the Dems scampering to come up with one good plan to implement that will make a difference, the Repubs fighting to get back on top and find a candidate that can over come the downfalls of Bush....yep, looks like I will have plenty to do in the coming year.

They might be wrong? Surely you jest....
I came across this article written by the former editor of New Scientist. The part that stuck out to me the most was the reference to the warnings given way back when of the evil acid rain that was coming, and that would melt all the skin of anyone caught out in it. Hey, I was but a wee child so stuff like that scared the hell out of me! Anyway, acid rain is real and its out there, but it didn't live up to the hype...perhaps the same can be said of the climate change.

Virginity, the greatest gift a bride can give to a husband....
Recently, a friend of mine wrote a nice blog on virginity and how it is viewed in her home country, which by the way, is very similar to the way county folk see it still today. That is....a wife should come in to a marriage untouched...pure as the driven snow...she should be able to wear a white dress with out the old ladies in the back of the Church whispering as she walks by that it should have been flaming red....you know...she should be a virgin.
Now I am not real sure where this custom of the brides purity came from but I imagine that it was either made up by some real insecure men way back or by the puritanical views of the old churchs. Don't really know, don't really care. But for as long as I can remember, its always been expected that the woman be untouched "there" for her to be able to land a good, respectable fellow. Well, I hate to break it to you but well.....thats just Bull shit!
Allow me to explain....
Myth 1:
Men want to marry a woman that is a virgin.
Fact 1:
Men want to marry a woman that will rock his world! Yeah, all that crap about men wanting to be Captain Kirk and go where no man has gone before lasts about as long as it takes to get naked...if that long. I mean think about it for a second. Most men spend a significant amount of time watching porn, reading porn and then watching some more porn. Not me of course, I have too much research to do..but I digress. So, given the choice between a wife that is well versed in all the latest positions, multi talented and a porn star wanna be or a hymen....which do you think we really want as a wedding present?
Myth 2:
Women should wait and share that first moment of love making with the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
Fact 2:
The first time (aka deflowering) is going to awkward, painful, uncomfortable, messy, scary and probably one if not the worst sex you will ever have. (I remember my first time just like that..and she laughed at me! but thats another story lol). Does a woman really want that memory etched into her mind as being caused by the man she loves? Not a good way to start things off in my opinion.
So ladies, the bottom line is that if you are saving yourself because of a personal conviction or cause you just aren't ready, then more power to you. If you have strong religious beliefs and thats the way you feel, I don't blame you a bit. But ladies, if you are only saving it as a gift to your fellow on that special honeymoon night so he can feel like Christopher Columbus, forget about it. Instead, go out and hook up a time or two to see what goes where and watch some good net porn (google has save many a relationship I bet). Then, on that special night, start with a shy "oh my, thats not gonna fit" then a obligatory "ouch" delivered with precision timing and whisper in his ear "I am so glad I waited for you". Then, with a wicked grin, roll over on him and ride him until his eyes roll back in his head and he passes out gasping for air.
Then and only then will you have given him the greatest gift a bride can give a husband.....

Saddam..revisited one last time...
For those of you (myself included) that had some reservations about Saddam's trail and execution, I suggest that you watch "Inside Saddam's Reign of Terror" on the National Geographic Channel. It chronicles his rise to power from a child up to his execution and how he created a nation living in fear of his methods of control. I will say, that it is graphic. Apparently to keep the masses under control, torture, maiming, executions and beheadings were all filmed and released on public stations to let those who appose him know their fate if discovered.
"For 24 years, Saddam Hussein and his Baath Party executed political rivals, Shias, Kurds and anyone else who dared disagree - or even tell a joke about the dictator. A chorus of testimonials, unearthed mass graves and discovered documents now reveal the extent to which Saddam and his Baath Party tortured, maimed, raped and murdered Iraqi citizens. As he faces trial for his crimes, NGC goes inside his reign of terror - with rare videotape that shows Baath Party members carrying out Saddam's brutal laws. "
It also shows a scene that I had seen before and always was amazed by. On his 5th day as president of Iraq, he called a meeting of the Baath party congress (or what ever their term is), walked up to the podium and began reading names of those he accused of being tratiors. 66 men were led out of the room and held. Then days later, some of those remaining were given a pistol and forced to execute these alleged tratiors to show loyality to Saddam. Amazing..
Anyway, any doubts I had about the treatment and hanging of Saddam were quickly erased after watching the first 15 minutes of this show. He was an evil man, plain and simple. And while the nation of Iraq is going through a bad time at the moment, it is nothing compared to what they went through during Saddam's reign of Terror that lasted over 30 years.
I highly recommend watching this program.

The Mile High Club....
I had a recent conversation with a very good friend and in the course of it, a reference to the "Mile High Club" came up. Now I have heard about this elusive club for years (mainly in the text of the the literary works published in Penthouse Forum, Hustler's Hot Letters or on Literotica, but I never really thought it through.
Having flown a few times, I just don't see how it would be possible, let alone comfortable, to get all funky on an airplane. Granted, I am sure that a bit of heavy petting with a happy ending could and has happened with some frequency (by the way, do they reuse those little blankets or toss them after each flight? ewwwww), I just don't see how bumping uglies would be A) enjoyable and B) possible.
Since most describe an encounter in the airplane rest room, I considered that first. Now I am a decent sized fellow and its all I can do get in one, let alone be joined by sex-crazed nympho to complete the deed. Considering the logistics involved and the necessary configurations available, I just don't see it happening. It could...I will admit, but still I am skeptical. Ok, how about the back row on a relatively empty plane? Hmmm, again possible but with the attentive flight crew, and the size of the seats and leg room...I am having my doubts. Perhaps if the two were crazed exhibitionists and just stood up in a roomy exit row and went at it, it could happen there (careful of flying arms, legs or other body parts mind you, the door could fly out and you, the partner in crime and the adjacent 3 rows would be sucked out in to the night sky.
So I was perplexed for a moment then voila', it hit me! First class! Thats why the freaking tickets cost so much! Explains the little curtain, the leather seats and the champagne too. As soon as the rest of us poor people are seated, a full blown orgy takes place up there! Damn, all this time I have been missing out on all the fun. Instead of flying the friendly skys as the ads say, I have been stuck in a seat made for a midget, next to a screaming child behind me and a huge smelly fellow that snores beside me.
Looks like its time for me to start upgrading my seat!
There you go folks, another mystery solved.
FYI. There is actually a Mile High Club and if you are interested, check it out here:
Arlynn McMahon is the operations director and a pilot for Aero-Tech, a Kentucky-based company that has operated a Mile High service for 30 years. The company uses a single-engine Cessna with a two-seat cabin that hasn't been altered at all. "You have the same amount of room as in the back of a car," McMahon said. "That's part of the fun, figuring out where the body parts will go." The flights are priced in 15-minute increments at a $160-per-hour rate. "The pilot can usually tell when the festivities are done," McMahon said. "And the stability of the plane is excellent. It can handle any kind of turbulence, whether inside or outside of the plane."

For my science geeks...er....friends....
I ran across a neat list of the top 20 science myths and the explanations behind them. Most I knew the answer to (like the chicken with its head cut off...oh the wonderful days in my childhood at granny's Sunday dinner) and others I didn't. Anyway, take a few minutes out of your busy life and explore the really important things in life....like how long it takes bubble gum to digest when you swallow it.
PS. the answer to the one myth on there is every 3 seconds.....trust me.

People in California never cease to amaze me...
I heard about this yesterday on the news and although I haven't had time to read the actual bill , I wanted to post it so I would remember to come back to it. More from me on this a little later.
Ok, have a bit more time now. While I will be the first one to want to kick the living shit out of someone for abusing a child, a woman, hell, even some guy, this law that they are trying to pass aggrevates the hell out of me. No one should have to suffer abuse, plain and simple.
But what this lady is asking for, would in essence, make it a crime to swat your child on the butt if they were acting up. Yes, a crime for trying to get the attention of a unruly child. The penality would be up to a year in jail. Makes sense....kid acts up at the grocery, you spank them, you get hauled off to jail for a year. Doesn't matter that the child would lose a parent for a year, would never know what discipline is, and would probably grow up to be a mal adjusted thug...ignore that part and be happy knowing that this evil parent is being taught a lesson.
In an interview with the sponsor of the bill, she was asked what evidence she was baseing her need to push this bill forward. She had none. What research was there that spanking a child at that age was detrimental to there mental health. She could provide none.
While I do not have children, I do believe that a smack on the tush is a acceptable way to get there attention. When all this time-out bull shit came around, I had to roll my eyes. Yeah, thats gonna work. And now, as this timeout generation is coming of age, what do we see? A bunch of smart assed kids, that have no idea of how the world works, and are mainly a bunch of punks. Yeah, thats what we need to be planning the future.....

Finally, the weather man gets it right...
I happened across this interesting blog posted by what I assume is by some ABC weather man. Seems that there has been a call to revoke the AMS certification of those that don't fall into line with the "global warming" crowd. That in its self is not that far fetched, many people will try to use strong arm tactics to get their point across. What I found interesting was this guys response and reply.....
"...Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story. Even the lady at “The Weather Channel” probably gets paid good money for a prime time show on climate change. No man-made global warming, no show, and no salary. Nothing wrong with making money at all, but when money becomes the motivation for a scientific conclusion, then we have a problem. For many, global warming is a big cash grab."
The whole story can be read here .
Personally, I do think that it might be getting warmer. Heck, back when I was just a wee lad, I can remember that it usually started snowing in December and didn't stop until March. So yes, there has been a shift in the weather. I started getting warm in April and stayed that way until early October. Now, it warms up in May and gets cold in December. Seems everything has just shifted a bit. I can live with that. The older I get, the more I dislike the cold weather.
What I don't understand is why everyone seems to think that a shift in the climate is all man-made. Although I haven't pondered on it a lot, I do seem to remember learning about many ice ages, warming ages, again more ice ages and finaly, a nice warm one that we are in right now. This has been going on since the formation of the earth. Who's fault was it back then? Why do we all the sudden think that we can control it? Sure we are affecting it, but that is unavoidable. The only was that we could truly not contribute to the effects of green house gases would be to kill everyone one off....period.

Finally, an invention worthy of my attention.....
I saw this posted on Drudge and I decided I just had to have it. It has to be the greatest thing since indoor plumbing and Hi-def TV.
Wonder if the woman costs extra or is included in the package?

Everything happens for a reason...
Talk about a New Years eve treat. After something like 20 years or so, I happened to see my first serious girlfriend yesterday. Yes, the one that I spent my high school years with, the first one to ever really steal my heart, and of course the first one to ever rip it out of my body and stomp on it. We were together for about 5 years through high school and afterwards.
She was a cheerleader, I was the quarterback, life was perfect. She came from a well to do family, drove a really nice car, was in my opinion at the time, the perfect girl. Then of course, she went off to college (I opted to go to work so that I could make some money to support her) and while away, found another fellow to cast her charm on. He was an old friend of the family, drove a corvette and had a good job as an engineer. I guess a redneck working in the coal mines no longer held the appeal to her.
Needless to say, I was pretty torn up over it all. She was my first love and it hurt with she was gone. Okay, I will admit, I was not exactly faithful to her during our time together but this is about her, not me :-).
Anyway, I passed a lady yesterday in a store that for some reason caught my eye. Actually, it was her eyes that caught my eye. No matter how old you get or how much you change, the eyes always stay the same. I didn't immediately recognize her but there was something familiar about her. Then it hit me..it was her! Boy did it ever hit me. A sudden feeling of happiness washed over me.
The sweet young girl I had loved in high school was now a total mess. Back then, she was about 5' 100 lbs soaking wet, had beautiful long hair, a wonderful smile and was in my opinion, a hotty. What I saw yesterday, was an old woman, still 5' tall but now weighing 250 plus (conservative guess). Her hair was chopped off in a very unflattering style, her face swollen to the point that I hardly knew her. No ladies and gentleman, the years had not been kind to her at all.
It was at that very moment I realized....Things do happen for a reason!
She was a cheerleader, I was the quarterback, life was perfect. She came from a well to do family, drove a really nice car, was in my opinion at the time, the perfect girl. Then of course, she went off to college (I opted to go to work so that I could make some money to support her) and while away, found another fellow to cast her charm on. He was an old friend of the family, drove a corvette and had a good job as an engineer. I guess a redneck working in the coal mines no longer held the appeal to her.
Needless to say, I was pretty torn up over it all. She was my first love and it hurt with she was gone. Okay, I will admit, I was not exactly faithful to her during our time together but this is about her, not me :-).
Anyway, I passed a lady yesterday in a store that for some reason caught my eye. Actually, it was her eyes that caught my eye. No matter how old you get or how much you change, the eyes always stay the same. I didn't immediately recognize her but there was something familiar about her. Then it hit me..it was her! Boy did it ever hit me. A sudden feeling of happiness washed over me.
