What Liberalism Means- Ban Good Stuff, Legalize Deadly Stuff
Jan 5th
Liberalism is all about banning stuff that people like and legalizing stuff that only deviants or criminals like. Smoking? Banned. Transfats? Banned in many cities like New York. BPA is a harmless chemical that hardens plastic and liberals want it banned because they say, it might harm a fetus.
But abortion harms a fetus too, and that’s double-plus good to liberals. Can’t restrict that at all. Marijuana usage has grown exponentially and is now being legalized in liberal states for medicinal usage, while you can’t get baby aspirin or cold medicine that contains ephedrine.
And in New York City, where the government banned smoking in restaurants and eliminated trans-fats, the same government is issuing leaflets that demonstrate proper heroin usage for junkies. Hey, why can’t heroin usage just be “banned?” It worked pretty well for that horrifyingly deadly trans-fat didn’t it?

Jan 5th
Mama went out tonight to pottery class so me and Cartney found something to do. I took a flexible piece of a tent he received for Christmas and used masking tape to fuse it to our Coffee Table. We sat and rolled his monster trucks and hotwheel cars down this ramp for a couple of hours.
We got most of it picked up before Mama got home so we didn’t get into too much trouble.

Jan 4th
Vultures in Africa are quickly being wiped out by “native beliefs.” Those beliefs? If you decapitate a vulture while its alive and take its brain, dry it, then roll it in a joint and smoke it, you will dream of winning lottery numbers. Seriously. African witches practicing some stupidity called “muti” are wiping out hundreds at a whack by poisoning carcasses so the feeding carrion birds will die out all at once.
From a completely non-judgemental Guardian here:
It’s a tiny organ that, the superstition goes, holds the secrets of the future. When smoked and inhaled, the brain of a vulture is said to confer the gift of premonition. To put it bluntly, most users hope to sneak a look at next week’s national lottery numbers.
Such is the demand for vulture brains to use in muti – traditional medicine – that wildlife experts fear the birds could be driven to extinction within two or three decades. They also warn that hunting could intensify as gamblers seek an advantage when betting on the football World Cup in South Africa.
“There is a lot of betting in South Africa. So we may see an increase connected to gambling around the 2010 World Cup.”
A 2007 study found that 160 vultures are sold a year for muti in eastern South Africa, with the total across the region thought to be much higher. About 1,000 are killed every year in Tanzania alone.
The birds are shot, trapped or poisoned by hunters. One tactic is to poison an animal so the vultures that feed on the carcass themselves fall victim. “You can have 300 or 400 converge on a poisoned carcass and all be wiped out,” Botha added. Brains and other body parts are then sold at street markets or shops in Johannesburg and other cities.
Seven of the nine species of vulture are rated endangered. Botha said there was demand for the bearded vulture in Eastern Cape province. Traditional healers prefer that the bird be captured alive as the head needs to be removed while it is still living so that “the brain does not flow down into the spinal cord” and the muti loses its potency.
What is worse? Their idiotic religious beliefs about smoking brains or their complete lack of understaning about avian biology? And betting on soccer? Is this white South Africans doing this, because the article doesn’t say. This story goes on and completely lacks any criticism of the practice whatsoever. Even Mother Nature Network refuses to condemn the practice in their writeup on this story! Now had this been an article on cruelty of turkey farms before Thanksgiving in the US, you could bet that there would be loads of condemnation and quotes from experts extolling the virtues of tofurkey.
Here is a crime report talking about killing 72 birds at once. Barbaric. Cultural beliefs are not all equal and some need to be eliminated for this disgusting behavior.
A lot of this is happening in Tanzania. That’s where they also hunt and kill albinos because they are more magical than leprechauns.

Jan 3rd
She said that she should be able to do whatever she wants cuz “Dang, they are MY KIDS, I have custody and all. I be trippin’ here!”
From WRCBTV.com here:
“We were making it look like it was a cross,” said Jo-Jo Marsh, “so the kids could have something they could say it was.”
The mark is a cross-like symbol left by a home-made tattoo gun with a guitar string as a needle.” We didn’t even break the skin barely,” said Marsh.
Marsh and her husband, Jacob Bartels, face child cruelty charges after detectives found the same mark on six of the couple’s seven children. One of the children is just 10 years-old.
We asked Marsh if she knew it was illegal to tattoo children in the state of Georgia.
“Oh God no,” she responded, “that’s why I was tripping so hard, that’s why I was so upset.”
Marsh defends her actions saying the kids were begging for tattoos like hers.
She made her very own tattoo gun out of a guitar string. She must have learned that in prison, and if not, when she goes to jail for this idiocy, that little trick will earn her a few cigarettes for providing a prison tattoo service for the other inmates.
And if you want to turn your precious little girl into a stripper, be sure to get an early start:

Jan 3rd
As part of NASA’s diversity mission, the space agency assigned an Asian Woman to drive the Spirit Rover on Mars. Now it is stuck in a sand pit spinning it wheels while its solar panels are slowly choked off with dust.
From the Reg here:
NASA’s Spirit Mars rover today passes its sixth anniversary on the Red Planet, albeit bogged down in sandy soil which looks likely to be its final resting place.
Spirit arrived on Mars at 8:35 pm PST on 3 January, 2004 (04:35 GMT on 4 January), followed by its twin Opportunity on 24 January. The pair were intitially expected to last three months, but have proved they have the Right Stuff by surviving “six Earth years, or 3.2 Mars years”, as NASA puts it.
However, Spirit got stuck in a sand trap dubbed “Troy” in Mars’s southern hemisphere back in April. Having already suffered a right-front wheel failure in 2006, its right-rear wheel then succumbed to intermittent failure. NASA explains: “Drives with four or five operating wheels have produced little progress toward escaping the sand trap. The latest attempts resulted in the rover sinking deeper in the soil.”
Lulz in the comments on the article:
Have they tried an inverted tachion pulse? Or failing that a remodulated plasma infusion with a synchronised ion discharge? No, perhaps a more simple approach could work. It could use its robotic arm to dig its way out with a spoon.

Jan 2nd
Obama has already played more golf in the past year than Bush played in the prior eight. After watching these clips I now know why: He needs the practice.
So he shanked at the very least, a drive, hit a tree. A chip out is two. Add a three putt, and that’s a bogey on a par 4. Most likely he hit the tree on his second shot, which would make this a double bogey. Now watch the Pres swing a driver:
Even the photogs think he sucks. Seriously, why doesn’t he just give up the game and stick to basketball? Thanks to RightRant for the clue that Obama was a bad at Golf as he is a Governing.

Jan 1st
My boy loves his DVD movies. He had just finished “Over the Hedge” when he came trotting up to me with a shiny DVD in his hand. I was busy doing adult things and didn’t immediately grasp that he wanted me to change the DVD until he stuck his tongue to the wall and yelled “Stuck!” The DVD? A Christmas Story starring little Peter Billingsly. Cartney was re-enacting his favorite scene of the movie where Flick got his tongue stuck to the ice-cold flagpole.
If you are not familiar with Christmas Story, here is the scene:
And of course, here is my kid’s re-enactment of that momentous scene!
That’s my boy. I’m so proud!
