whatever it takes

including 'pharmaceutical enhancements for aging patriarchs with slumping libidos'

well normally i wouldn't care about such things EXCEPT
isn't almost all intelligence coming out of afghanistan saying WE ARE UP SHITE'S CREEK?
don't most of the people that support this king and all he has done under his reign believe not only should a woman's choice be abolished BUT THERE SHOULD BE NO CONTRACEPTION? so women can't choose regarding THEIR bodies, but MEN GET ENHANCEMENTS LEFT AND RIGHT.

the story mentions a 60 something year old tribal chief with four younger wives. the cia tosses viagra at him so he can get it up. yet it says NOTHING about how the wives feel or for that matter are treated (then again i think we all know how women and grrrls are treated in afghanistan)

hmmmmmmmmmm
Little Blue Pills Among the Ways CIA Wins Friends in Afghanistan
By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached into his bag for a small gift.

Four blue pills. Viagra.

"Take one of these. You'll love it," the officer said. Compliments of Uncle Sam.

The enticement worked. The officer, who described the encounter, returned four days later to an enthusiastic reception. The grinning chief offered up a bonanza of information about Taliban movements and supply routes -- followed by a request for more pills.

For U.S. intelligence officials, this is how some crucial battles in Afghanistan are fought and won. While the CIA has a long history of buying information with cash, the growing Taliban insurgency has prompted the use of novel incentives and creative bargaining to gain support in some of the country's roughest neighborhoods, according to officials directly involved in such operations. ...........

i think someone over at msnbc must have read my blog.......

naw, i know it's just a coincidence.

yesterday, i posted my shock at seeing a commercial entitled viva viagra. well i'm not the only one who was taken aback

VIVA VIAGRA?

by Allison Linn

The setting is a folksy bar off a dusty highway. The scene: a group of guys who have gotten together for a jam session, to sing about ... the wonders of erectile dysfunction medication.
The new commercial for Pfizer Inc.’s Viagra is striking for a few reasons.
For one thing, there are no women in it -- this is a commercial all about guys bonding with other guys over the good times this medication has brought them, not sharing an intimate moment with their female partner. And secondly, some of the guys here strike the viewer as pretty young for erectile dysfunction. ........

late night observation

actually VERY early morning

the other morning i was watching television. on some channel (i think it was amc but i'm not sure), there was a commercial for a male 'enhancement' product. i forgot the name, doesn't matter. all it talked about was having that certain male part (and those are the words they used) GROW BIGGER. they had some skanky women saying it then some even skankier men. THEN they had the doctor who invented it AND a picture of his 'clinic'. you just had to see it to believe it. i was left (almost) speechless (it's called ExtenZe. i just looked it up on the net)

UNTIL

just now, when on regular television within the span of ten minutes i saw the SAME viagra commercial twice. a bunch o' dudes (about six of 'em) AND a dog. they (all but the dog) had instruments and were playing in some kind of roadhouse. what were they singing? VIVA VIAGRA (to the tune of viva las vegas)
NOTE: the piano player was ESPECIALLY happy about something or other......(could it be he had a 'thing' for the guitarist?)
now i really AM speechless
