Face it: The Stock Market is the Evillest Gambling In the World

 
Keep on a'walkin', keep on a'talkin'; carry it on.  On to victory!

Supernatural Bernadette Peters

Hey!  I'm saying something nice, for a change!: BERNADETTE PETERS!!!  What  great person she is!  Take a look:
 
What the article doesn't say (but pictures tend to confirm) was what prompted me to look her up:  I saw her recently, and again thought as I have over many years, she hasn't aged since she was eighteen!  Live as long as you want to, wondrous B, and age only in refinement of perfection!

Bachmann: Mandate Sonograms for Abortion-Hunters

Points:


1. Who gonna PAY, for it, Mitch? Socialized medicine? If not, how can it be Constitutionally mandated? ...Among other problems of Constitutionality...

2. If (it's paid for by public revenue, and) it's only going to be mandated 'for those thinking of having abortions', it would sorely tempt pregnant women who intend to give birth, and want ultrasound (perhaps also urged by physicians, kin, friends, etc.) to take the no-cost-to-themselves route and pretend that they sought abortion but changed their minds.

3. What of those who, by the process, discovered significant health defects in the child and decided against keeping it alive?

4. In India and China, ultrasound is commonly used to discover the sex of the child, so that females can be aborted. In India, especially Rajasthan, breeding females has blamed on wives - often child brides - and used as an excuse to murder mothers and girl-children, often with particularly deliberate vengeful cruelty. What is to stop state-mandated ultrasound from being misused for vain and bigoted purposes?

5. The process is not nearly as invasive or painful as abortion... Probably no more than any one of the number of pelvic exams gynecologists consider a necessary part of PRE-NATAL CARE. How 'bout them healthy babies? How 'bout taking care of them in womb and out? Who should pay for 'em? If parents can't, should the state, or should they be aborted?

World's Most Beautiful and Romantic Building

How symbolic can you get!?

Click here: India's Taj Mahal In Danger Of Collapsing


India's iconic Taj Mahal is in danger of collapsing within five years if the issue of its rotting wooden foundation isn't addressed.

The 358-year-old-structure is located in the city of Agra, and serves as a mausoleum in memory of the wife of an emperor. As the most famous of India's tourist attractions, it draws four million visitors annually.

Campaigners exist to protect the Taj Mahal, and according to the Daily Mail, they believe its foundations are compromised, having become brittle over the centuries. Evidence of structural problems include cracks that appeared in the structure last year, and signs that its four minarets are tilting.

Apparently the Taj Mahal stands on the edge of a now dried-up river, and the foundations are rotting due to lack of water.

"This was never anticipated by its builders," Professor Ram Nath, a historian and leading Taj Mahal authority told the Daily Mail. "The river is a constituent of its architectural design and if the river dies, the Taj cannot survive."

The Indian government has set up a body to deal with the preservation of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Gee, Oh Pee! Candidate Shuffle

I've been late in posting; just as well when I can't keep up with the hoof-in-mouth adventures of politicos out there. Lots of reshuffling of players, lately.


Some will remember the manipulative games the media played during the last few months of Bush (Sr.) - Clinton - Perot. The pundits, publishers and poll-controllers would give each candidate turns of ascendancy for about 3 weeks, musical-chairs switcheroo & over again. Was That Agency or Something Like It really after Perot's daughter? Nuff to have him say so and sound dippy, and hero Stockdale to be incoherent... Like Nixon's enemies back-when:  Really more subtle than what happened to Bobby Kennedy and George Wallace and Wallace's wives. A pure repetition of the Wallace woes on another too-warm 3rd-party contender and people might get suspicious. But the R-D Bank Party cloven hoof must not stumble, nor the Cassandra who warned against NAFTA and the burgeoning slag-mountain of debt go unsacrificed!

Games are still being played, but it may be that there is no longer any need for sudden mindforks... When so much of both the electorate and their candidates are zomboid, schizoid and as ready to render and accept the grossest hypocrisies as certifiable pathological liars. Here are some searches. I started with Ms Entertainment Misinformation, then the Globalist Opportunist Pimps:

Click here: "Bachmann watch" - Google Search

Click here: "GOP candidates watch" - Google Search

But the most fun of all - in the last few days, anyway - has been the GOP Back Room Boys' hysterical scramble to try to run Chris Christie up their flagpole the moment Herman Cain won a Florida poll.  And now the fat man* won't sing, and erstwhile saint Sarah's said no, too.  Hey, what if it's true:  Once they've had black (even with a lot of cream, apparently!) they won't go back... Or maybe America is gonna just keep on tryin' till we get DENNIS HAYSBERT or MORGAN FREEMAN.  You know they're what we really want!
*There is nothing wrong with cuddly!!!

What F-Word?

Click here: Bono: The F Word

Bono argues that the truly obscene F-word is FAMINE, and no decent being could argue that, but let's consider the eFFing traditional word, and its original meaning: FOLKing, that which tends to produce more folk.  People in a situation (which, arguably, is the whole WORLD right now, need to not produce folk - little, tender, helpless, innocent folk whom the wretched present situation is likely to lead into desperate, tormenting need, innumerable brutalities and corruption.  The times are so bad, it's a bad time to bring a little trustafarian into the world at the family estate on a lovely private lake in the 'First World'; it's sheer horror guaranteed to bring one into Somalia.

Why do 'they' do it?  It's a biological imperative:  Sexual desire is a delirious fever that makes almost everyone crazed, heedless, stupid; compulsively overridden.  Who has not given in when their better selves have said NO?  And all it takes is once.  If it's unbearable to the advantaged, how much more to those who have no other comfort?   And, in Somalia and so much of the EFFING WORLD, men define themselves by sex-act dominance and begetting, forcing women...

In times like these, perhaps we should ask if FAITH, as the holiest F-word, ought rather to come behind FOOD and even FIX, as in 'have your pets FIXED!!!

Al-Awlaki Shot Down (with the whine against his hit)

Click here: Anwar Al-Awlaki Dead: U.S.-Born Al Qaeda Cleric Killed In Yemen


To which commenter the crustybastard wrote, which should settle the fatuous arguments* that Al-Awlaki ought to have been given all the legal protections ideally due to American citizens:

'Anwar Al-Awlaka was born a US citizen, but he didn't die one.

"America was my home. I was a preacher of Islam involved in non-violen­t Islamic activism..­.eventuall­y came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself just as it is binding on every other able Muslim...T­he operation of our brother Umar Farouk [the underpants bomber] was in retaliatio­n to American cruise missiles and cluster bombs...Vi­ctory is on our side because there is a difference between us and you....You have your B52's, your Apaches, your Abrahams, and your cruise missiles and we have small arms and simple IED's but we have men who are dedicated and sincere with hearts of lions and blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the world."

"The American Muslim’s loyalty is to the Muslim Nation and not to America, and brother Nidal [Hassan] is a proof on that through his blessed operation [the Ft. Hood mass murder] so may Allah reward him the best of the rewards for that."

8 U.S.C. §1481(a)(7­) A person who is a national of the United States whether by birth or naturaliza­tion, shall lose his nationalit­y by voluntaril­y performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquish­ing United States nationalit­y...commit­ting any act of treason against, or attempting by force to overthrow, or bearing arms against, the United States.'
