Obama is intellectually dishonest regarding women's health

I'm a big fan of contraception. Frankly I feel people who choose to have a child of their own instead of adopting one of the thousands of starving uneducated kids living in filth out there in the world are making a selfish choice (Being adopted permits me to have high horsed opinions like that btw) The Federal Deptartment of Health and Human services director Kathleen Sebelius (who has a degree in public manangement not medicine or science) recently vetoed plans by the FDA to allow Plan B, "the morning after bill", to be sold over the counter. Obama supported this decision 

“The reason Kathleen made this decision is that she could not be confident that a 10-year-old or an 11-year-old going into a drugstore, should be able — alongside bubble gum and batteries — be able to buy a medication that potentially, if not used properly, could end up having an adverse effect.”

Others did not.

Solar flare hits Mercury; reveals UFO

Two nifty videos of a solar flare blasting the planet Mercury. The blasts appear to "decloak" a VERY large...something which NASA is saying is just a error in the video..both videos. Check it out and decide for yourself.

Airforce dumps the remains of 274 US soldiers in landfill

What kind of broken, inhuman people approves and go along with this sort of thing? I jsut cant get my brain around the idea someone thought this was a feasible cost cutting measure or whatever so I'm dawning the tin foil hat and guessing there is something fishy with these dead soldiers that the military doesnt want us to know.

It showed that 976 fragments from 274 military personnel were cremated, incinerated and taken to the landfill between 2004 and 2008.An additional group of 1,762 unidentified remains were collected from the battlefield and disposed of in the same manner, the Air Force said.

Bad Schools : Bad Reporting

I posted a story in a news posts about a 9yo who was suspended from school for being overheard calling his teacher cute. Fox News is reporting that the Principle who made that decision has been forced into retirement. However a little more digging from other news sources show that the principle actually chose to retire rather than accept accountability. Shocking that a public employee would choose to collect all his benefits and not have to work rather than face the music isnt it?
As far as I can tell the whole situation is a charlie foxtrot. The kids should not have been punished and the Principle, unless there a whole lot that we dont know about him, should not have been given the ultimatum of demotion or retirement over this small issue. but it got me thinking - really why is this National News? I'm sure lots of good things happen at this school that dont make Fox News or my blog. Am I as guilty as Fox News for sensationalist journalism? Are we "down" on the public school system because all we hear is the negatives? We know Public Schools arnt doing well but unlike the foster care system as far as I know they arnt killing kids or permanently scarring their mental health.

Good Charlotte The Anthem (MOTW)

Heard this one the radio on the way home. Lots of teen angst and the final few stanza make no sense but a good song none the less.

State treasure just rotting away

This to me is really sad. Obviously this is a time for government to tighten its belt but why do we have money for a $500,000 museum about the Viaduct but not any to treat this beautiful ship with some dignity.

Bill passed legalizing sodomy and bestiality in military

Hmmm anyone ever read the bills they are voting on??

On Nov. 15, the Senate Armed Services Committee had unanimously approved S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision to repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

Article 125 of the UCMJ makes it illegal to engage in both sodomy with humans and sex with animals.
It states: "(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Read more about the National Defense Authorization Act if you have the stomach.   

Herman Cain bows out with a quote from "Pokemon" ???

For the record I dislike this guy from his first interview on CNN where he couldnt answer any questions put to him. I'm going to guess this quote was thrown in to sabotage him by a disgruntled writer since everyone knows "Digimon" was the superior monster capture show and had much better music. I have 2 songs from The Digimon Movie in my collection :: Lets Kick it Up and Kids in America

I, for one, welcome our Dolphin Overlords

Kepler (NASA's special telescope designed to find out where in the Galaxy we are) has spotted another planet within the life-habitable zone of its star. 600 years away if traveling at the speed of light, word is this planet is large enough to be gaseous but small enough to have major liquid bodies and a solid core..Its surface is also a lovely ~72 degrees F. That's like Florida weather!

Time to stop wasting money on wars and invest in breaking/circumventing that light speed barrier so we can visit? 

I think "news" posts make me lazy

But here is another one. A couple of these come off Fark

Bad School : 9yo suspend from school for telling friend his teacher was cute
3 part video on the history of online multiplayer games

I think we need a right to education amendment that prohibits schools from suspending kids unless they are an immediate threat to themselves or others. Sending them home to play x-box is not a punishment but can be destabilizing to the parents job and family stability.

25 demands of the Nazi Party

Gotta say, if you strip this list of its historical/cultural conflicts I agree agree with alot of these. Such as ::
11. That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.
14. We demand profit-sharing in large industries.
21. The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young.
24. We demand freedom for all religious faiths in the state, insofar as they do not endanger its existence or offend the moral and ethical sense of the Germanic race.
The party as such represents the point of view of a positive Christianity without binding itself to any one particular confession. It fights against the Jewish materialist spirit within and without, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our folk can only come about from within on the pinciple:

COMMON GOOD BEFORE INDIVIDUAL GOOD
