Hillary....running for President or flippin pancakes at the local waffle house.

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."

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.....
