'Boobquake' 2010: 90,000+ women to bare cleavage, protest Iranian cleric's promiscuity claim
Tinamarie Bernard

A cleavage barring movement is underway in a valley near you. 'Boobquake' already has 90,000 women across the globe committed to showing part of their own in an effort to ‘help stop supernatural thinking and oppression of women.”

Boobquake is the brain child of Purdue University student, Jennifer McCreight. The self described "liberal, geeky, nerdy, scientific, perverted atheist feminist" decided to donate her D-cups for political and scientific reasons: The event is a direct response to the recent Iranian clerical claim that promiscuous women cause natural disasters.

"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupting their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media.

they ARE going to turn into a militant militia. all the milquetoasts (you know, those with souls) will be weeded out and the gun toting thugs with no brains, no hearts and no compassion will be left. yes, they WILL arm themselves (which actually they've already done) and they WILL attack. there is NO doubt in my mind.

Gingrich: Tea Party will become ‘militant wing’ of GOP
By David Edwards

Former President Bill Clinton got into trouble with conservatives after he compared today's political climate with the climate preceding the Oklahoma City bombing. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich seems to be having a moment of his own: in a little-noticed appearance Wednesday, he suggested that the Tea Party will become the "militant wing of the Republican Party."

But this time, conservatives aren't up in arms.

While speaking at an event in York County, Pennsylvania Wednesday, Gingrich left some in the audience scratching their heads. According to the The York Dispatch, Gingrich said the movement is a "natural expression of frustration with Republicans and anger at Democrats," which is "more likely to end up as the militant wing of the Republican Party" than a third party.

A resident who attended the speech disagreed. "I wouldn't use the word 'militant," she said.........

Jon Stewart’s Punching Bag, Fox News

By BRIAN STELTER

George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are long gone. Fox News Channel is Jon Stewart’s new enemy No. 1.

Last week that comedian did something that the hosts of “Fox & Friends,” the morning show on Fox News, did not do: he had his staff members call the White House and ask a question.

It may have been in pursuit of farce, not fact, but it gave credence to the people who say “The Daily Show” is journalistic, not just satiric. “Fox & Friends” had repeatedly asked whether the crescent-shaped logo of the nuclear security summit was an “Islamic image,” one selected by President Obama in his outreach to the Muslim world. The White House told “The Daily Show” that the logo was actually based on the Rutherford-Bohr model of the atom.

“This is how relentless Fox is” in savaging President Obama, Mr. Stewart said.............

‘Resurrection clause’ mom gets probation for starving son

By Raw Story
One year ago, a US judge agreed to drop murder charges against a woman accused of starving her one-year-old son to death if the little boy is resurrected. Wednesday morning, the woman was "given a sentence that won't require her to serve any more jail time."

Ria Ramkissoon, "who pleaded guilty to child abuse resulting in the death of her son, Javon Thompson, and has been in jail since her 2008 arrest, was given a suspended sentence and five years of probation on Wednesday," the Associated Press reports. "She will be committed to a residential treatment facility."........................

Under God: Palin's Christian Nation

By David Waters

In a speech last week, Sarah Palin promoted belief in God as a form of patriotism, dismissed notions that "America isn't a Christian nation," and denounced a federal judge's ruling that it's unconstitutional for government to declare a National Day of Prayer.

"God truly has shed his grace on thee -- on this country. He's blessed us, and we better not blow it. And that's why I talk about politics," Palin told the 16,000-member choir at a Women of Joy conference in Louisville, Ky., last Friday.

"Lest anyone try to convince you that God should be separated from the state, our founding fathers, they were believers," she continued. "Hearing any leader declare that America isn't a Christian nation . . . It's mind-boggling to see some of our nation's actions recently, but politics truly is a topic for another day."

Here at Under God, politics is a topic for any day, especially when it's mixed with religion................

Early Animal Rights Poem Discovered: A Mouse's Plea
by Robert Krulwich

There were lots of mice in Priestley's lab. He had made his reputation as one of the first scientists to identify oxygen. He studied mice to figure out what happens inside animals as they breathe. This meant he regularly opened them to examine lungs, veins, arteries, to see that blood changed color when it moved through lungs. And since tuberculosis -- or "consumption" -- was the scourge of that era, lung research seemed like a valuable thing to do.

But animals didn't last long in Priestley's lab, especially mice. So many died that his lab assistant, a young woman named Anna Barbauld, decided that Priestley should give his lab animals a little more respect. It was, after all, 1773, just a few years before Lexington, Concord and the Declaration of Independence. On both sides of the Atlantic, "inalienable rights" were a rallying cry, and Anna, a young wife and poet, decided to write a protest poem. She called it "The Mouse's Petition to Dr. Priestley, Found in the Trap where he had been Confined all Night."............

Former Soldier Helps Others Fight Army for Help

by Daniel Zwerdling

When Jason Harvey came back from Iraq to Fort Carson, Colo., two years ago, he started having screaming nightmares. His records show he told the medical unit he thought about killing himself.

Doctors diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. But instead of sending him to intensive therapy, his Army commanders kept punishing him, saying he was messing up on the job. Harvey's mother, Amy Harvey, says she called officials at Fort Carson and begged them to help.

"No one at Fort Carson was there for Jason," she recalls. "They take children and they send them to war. And then they don't take care of them."

One night last year, Harvey slashed his arms and wrists and was rushed to the hospital. Today, both he and his mother will tell you there's one main reason he's still alive: Andrew Pogany.

The 36-year-old former soldier has become a driving force behind efforts to force the Army to revise its response to soldiers suffering from PTSD. Pogany's saga shows how an advocate can overcome enormous obstacles and battle a powerful institution — and help shine the national spotlight on what had largely been a hidden problem.

As NPR reported last year, numerous soldiers from Fort Carson who have come back from Iraq and Afghanistan with serious mental health problems have been kicked out of the Army with few or no benefits. Those reports prompted a bipartisan group of U.S. senators, as well as officials at the Pentagon, to investigate Fort Carson. In turn, the public attention pressured commanders to pledge that returning soldiers would get better treatment..................



if i've said it once, i've said it hundreds of times. we all know how i personally feel about war (especially UNJUST, IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL ONES) but that is neither here nor there. we all know how i feel about the brave and true women and men who serve our great nation in the military. they are heroes and at times, we treat them like dirt. it is not only our responsibility to honor and care for them, it is our MORAL DUTY to do so. we cannot train them to do goddess only knows what, send them into a strange and foreign land AND cultures and expect them to come back (if they do at all that is) unscathed. WE OWE THEM. end of story oh and here's a link to a story i posted in dec of 2007 regarding sgt darren mischke (i am told he "was given a full medical retirement from the Army, at 100% permanent disability" BUT NOT WITHOUT A THREE YEAR FIGHT)

The Good Soldier
By Joel Warner
Do you like green eggs and ham?

I do not like them, Sam-I-am. I do not like green eggs and ham!

It was September 28, 2003, Andrew Pogany's second day in Iraq, and he was steering a Land Rover through the night toward Samarra with another Special Forces soldier on board and an M4 rifle in his lap. This stretch of road, which ran through the especially nasty enclave of insurgent strongholds called the Sunni Triangle, was known for ambushes of Army convoys just like his. "This is Indian country down here," a Green Beret had told him earlier in the day. "You'll be lucky to make it out alive." Pogany should have been completely focused on the road, scanning the surroundings for signs of trouble, but he was a little distracted.

Would you like them in a house?

Would you like them with a mouse?

A 32-year-old staff sergeant stationed at Fort Carson, Pogany been assigned to fill a vacancy in a highly trained, twelve-man Special Forces A Team just two weeks before they shipped out to fight in the still-young war. And now he was learning something about one of them. Sitting next to Pogany, gripping his own rifle, medic Ken Lehman had decided it was the perfect time to recite lines from Dr. Seuss. Over and over again..................

................

It's a beautiful day," Teresa Mischke tells Pogany as he pulls into her driveway, greeting him like an old war buddy. They've been through a lot together.

Her husband Darren's story is so long, so convoluted, it's sometimes hard for her to know where to begin. There was his first deployment to Iraq in 2003, before he met Teresa, when his soft-skin Humvee was rammed by an Iraqi truck. There was no blood, no obvious damage, so he went right back to work. Sure, when he got home and met Teresa, there were some headaches, but nothing to be concerned about. Then, during his second deployment in 2005, a mortar hit his vehicle, blowing a hole in the turret right by his head. At the time, Darren considered himself lucky to be alive. But back in Colorado Springs in December 2006, right around the time the two got married, he stopped acting like himself. He'd get real quiet, lash out at unexpected moments and forget the most basic things. Training simulators became impossibly mystifying, his hands and mind rebelling against him, and bright flashes plagued his vision................

I'm not quite sure what to make of this. A couple weeks ago our Eric Kleefeld came up with video showing Nevada Senate candidate Sue Lowden suggesting that "bartering" for medical care would be a good way to rein in spiraling health care costs.

I mocked her with the headline: "I bid three chickens for that MRI!" But I sort of figured she'd rethink that plan after her advisors sat her down for a moment and explained the concept of a cash economy or maybe if she found out what 'barter' meant. But it turns out that she was serious. Not just serious. She was actually thinking about payment in chickens too.

Yesterday she told a local news program: "I'm telling you that this works. You know, before we all started having health care, in the olden days, our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor."..........

Girls accused of killing gay man in attack like Clockwork Orange

Two drunken teenage girls kicked a man so badly as he lay unconscious during their homophobic attack that he later died, a court heard.

Ruby Thomas and Rachel Burke, both 18, stamped on Ian Baynham’s chest and kicked him in the head after their friend Joel Alexander, 19, had punched him to the ground, knocking him unconscious, the Old Bailey was told.

As Mr Baynham lay bleeding the teenagers continued to assault him, it was said, causing him to suffer a fit from brain damage after his skull had been fractured.

When Mr Baynham’s friend stepped in to try to save him, Ms Burke attacked him too, punching him in the face, the jury was told.............

And all that vajazz!
Posted by Chloe -


So vajazzling is apparently a thing now. Vajazzling, for those of you who aren't aware, is the practice of affixing small shiny things, usually crystals, to your otherwise bare vulva. It first entered the lexicon a few months ago when actress Jennifer Love Hewitt revealed on late night TV that she had coped with a particularly bad breakup by having one of her friends bedazzle her "precious lady" until it looked like a "disco ball."

When I first heard about vajazzling, I thought that it was totally absurd. Little did I know, the disco-themed pubis party was just getting started.

Last week, The Frisky noted that there is a new totally absurd pube region trend in town. It is called "penazzling" and it is exactly what it sounds like. As Frisky blogger Jessica Wakeman noted, that penazzling isn't entirely comparable to vajazzling because the crystals are applied to a man's lower pelvis, far from his actual genitalia. ..........

Cosmo Fixes Your Sex Glitches


The May issue of Cosmo features an article called "When You Have to Fix a Sex Glitch - Fast!" This is the Sexy Issue, which as we all know is the only issue of the year that tackles sex-related topics.

When you and your guy get going, there's not much - short of a natural disaster or your grandma walking in - that's going to stop you. So if a pesky snag threatens to mess with a sack session, get crafty. We have solutions to try in the heat of the moment to circumvent any roadblock (think MacGyver) while keeping the mood sexy.
As always, Cosmo is there for you in your hour of need.
Oops, you're out of lube! Mix 1 tablespoon of saliva (the thick kind deep in your throat works best - its viscosity makes it a good substitute for lube) with 1 tablespoon of water (to stretch out the spit). Swish it in your mouth to blend. If you're not using condoms, you can also apply a plant-based oil, like olive oil or almond oil. Both are slippery but won't irritate your skin...................

Breastfeeding On Ohio Billboard Shocks

GOP Rep. Broun: Beware "Tyrannical" Gov't
By Andy Kroll

At a Second Amendment rally in the shadow of the Washington Monument, Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) fired up an already boisterous crowd of gun lovers, sign toters, and self-proclaimed Constitutional defenders by railing against his "socialist" colleagues on Capitol Hill and demanding a ballot-box revolution this fall. In doing so, Broun gave the event's organizers—like Skip Coryell, a anti-government gun rights advocate from Michigan—and attending groups like the Oath Keepers just what they wanted to hear.

Echoing a controversial remark made last fall aimed at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Broun told the crowd, "We have a lot of domestic enemies in the United States, and they work down the Mall," referring to certain members of Congress. Soon after, Broun added that Second Amendment defenders like himself and those in the crowd—many of them sporting bright orange stickers saying "Guns Save Lives"—needed to protect themselves from "the tyrannical government of the United States" and fight back against the "socialists that are running Congress."........................

Limbaugh Lies About Big Branch Mine: No, Rush, It Wasn’t Union
by Mike Hall

It was Sen. Al Franken (D- Minn.) in his previous incarnation as an author and comedian who called Rush Limbaugh “A big fat liar.” Well, others can address the first part, but Limbaugh himself has again offered solid evidence about the liar part.

Last week, Limbaugh lambasted the Mine Workers (UMWA) for not protecting their members who, he claimed worked at the Upper Big Branch mine in Raleigh County, W.Va., where 29 coal miners were killed when the Massey Energy Co. mine exploded.

Of course as we all know, and has been widely reported in mainstream media–and even on Fox News–Upper Big Branch was non-union coal mine. While he never acknowledged his mistake, at least he piped down for a few days.

But yesterday, with a full bag of gas at the ready, Rush claimed he had irrefutable facts to back him up, that UMWA did certainly represent the miners at Upper Big Branch. He said the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) had ordered Massey to hire union coal miners.

There were union workers at this mine…You people, it’s been 21 years. At some point you are going to learn: If you go up against me on a challenge of fact, you are going to be wrong. It’s just that simple..........

no, it's not funny

i CAN (and do) take a joke. i CAN laugh at 'women' jokes. a couple of things aren't really funny to me at all though.

RAPE isn't funny and in this case, women's hard work and heroism TO BE TREATED EQUALLY (which by the way, isn't FULLY happening) should NOT be taken lightly.

End women’s right to vote, Nevada’s largest newspaper says
By Daniel Tencer

The editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal says he was kidding when he penned an editorial calling for women's right to vote to be repealed, but plenty of people aren't laughing.

Thomas Mitchell has found himself defending his "satirical" look at the differences in the voting patterns of men and women after receiving a "swift and voluble" public reaction to his column on Friday, which was entitled "Time to repeal the 19th amendment?"

"People and candidates for public office should be judged on the basis of their ideas, stance on the issues, character, experience and integrity, not on the basis of age, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion or disability," Mitchell wrote. "Therefore, we must repeal the 19th Amendment. Yes, the one granting suffrage to women. Because? Well, women are biased."...............

just so you know

leaving a cell phone in a bar is NOT a rare occurrence. i've mentioned before, my friends own a local pub. cell phones are left there almost daily. what gets me is; they have a STACK of credit cards people leave. some come back and get them, but lots and lots and lots don't. it would blow you away what's left there. once, someone LEFT AN ANCHOR on a barstool (by mistake).

thankfully, if a staff member or even the cleaning crew finds a lost item, it WILL be kept for return to the owner. i can personally attest to that.

moral of the story, don't go drinking unless you're nude and unencumbered with ANY item except for a wad of cash

Corporate Front Group Funded By Coal Industry Scorns Widow Of Mine Disaster: ‘Everyone Wants Free Money’

Yesterday, the AP reported that Marlene Griffith, a widow of William Griffith, one of the 29 men killed in last week’s explosion at a coal mine in West Virginia, is suing Massey Energy, the owner of the mine. Griffith filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Raleigh County Circuit Court, arguing that Massey’s handling of work conditions at the mine plus its history of safety violations amounted to aggravated conduct that rises above the level of ordinary negligence. Marlene and here husband were to celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary weeks after the deadly blast on April 5........................................
