Stupid Women Roundup

Was she vulnerable, as Ann suggests?  No, she is an attention whore.  Now that her seducing of Mel did not end in a lucrative Hollywood career, she does her next stupid act which is to appear on Howard Stern.  Obviously unprepared.

So when a man enlightens her (in a brief conversation) she wants  him banned from the library.  For verbal abuse.  Get a backbone.

Actually it is her parents that are clueless here
The parents are completely irresponsible.
Playing with diversity isn't a good idea
It is tragic that she was murdered by her husband, but what did she really grok about the Indian culture to make such a fatal mistake?
both stories from the the daily mail

And then RSM has been very good at reporting the latest feminist claptrap that heterosexual sex is rape.  Oh good grief.

I really HATE stupid people.  Unfortunately the world just teems with them.  Sometimes I can laugh but usually I react with the shaking of the head.  That can lead to brain damage so I better stop!

Now, back to bed for me.  Been dreadfully ill these past few days.

Quote(s) of the Day

Being told what to think has never been my idea of freedom, however, and my habitual skepticism is aroused by mobs chanting in unison. Somehow, totalitarian groupthink always reminds me of the sound of hobnailed boots marching over broken glass.
The Other McCain

Update:
The EU is basically a false intellectual construction. Why is it wrong? The countries are all different mentalities, different languages, economic levels and so on. One system with the same rules cannot function.

The Real Afganistan

Excellent writing from a recon Marine.  Probably the best I have ever read to describe what is really going on in that hell hole.

This country blows, man. It's not even a country. There are no roads, there's no infrastructure, there's no government. This is an inhospitable, rock pit shit hole ruled by eleventh century warring tribes. There are no jobs here like we know jobs.
They have no respect for anything, not for their families, nor for each other, nor for themselves. They claw at one another as a way of life.
They play polo with dead calves and force their five-year-old sons into human cockfights to defend the family honor.
Huns, roaming packs of savage, heartless beasts who feed on each other's barbarism. Cavemen with AK-47's.

This just affirms my belief that nuking the region into uninhabitable acreage is the only way to save this planet from this filthy scourge of Satan.

my toes are cold

Freedoms

Over at Crusader Rabbit is a link to a story of a childhood in the 50s/60s.  At least I am assuming that is the time period.  Such freedoms we had as children. My shoes came off in summer - every year until I was in my 20s.  I never hurt my feet, with the exception of one bee sting.  Since my Dad was military, we moved pretty much every summer.  When we arrived at our new posting, we would spend the time exploring our new surroundings.  I believe that is one reason why I have an excellent sense of direction, and why I get great comfort from a walk in the woods.  My mother never drove us any where - we walked.   In fact, I don't think we saw our parents in the summer, except at dinner.
I have often thought how sorry it was that my daughter could never know such unbridled freedom growing up.
