How 'bout this one?

Remember watching her get out of the pool? Those were some fast times.

Know who this is?

Remember "Ferris Bueller?" The young lady who played his girlfriend was 19 years old when the movie was shot. Guess what: she's almost 42, now. Still not too bad, Ms. Mia Sara.

Last weekend of August...

...so lie back and get some rest.

Islam and Women

Judy Bachrach with a brilliant piece http://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/2009%20-%20Summer/full-Bachrach.html describing life for women under Islam, as well as how foreign women are treated in Muslim countries. None of this comes as a surprise to me, however, Bachrach pulls together the entire phenomena of Islam's treatment of women as cattle. In fact this article should be required reading for women, especially any Western woman silly enough to be currently considering marriage to a Muslim and living in his country. Scary stuff.

I spent a brief few months in the middle east long ago and saw life in a Muslim country first hand. Most impressive were the facial tattoos on Bedouin women--outward signs of ownership by their goat molesting husbands. I don't have time at the moment to go further into this--we'll save it for a future post.

Soccer Moms on the March

This is true: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/04/04/94-free-healthcare/.

It's been a while since I looked at this site and they've added some new stuff including this piece. Apparently, the guy who writes it is a lib, but he's got a good enough sense of humor to poke fun at his fellow travellers. Good stuff.

President Obama: Help Us!

Greedy beer companies are raising prices http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/Dispatch/market-dispatches.aspx?post=1236196&_blg=1,1236196 apparently in a dastardly attempt to make more money. It's high time that the government nationalizes the production and sale of beer in order that no one in our society is left without access to malted beverages. The Unites States is the only civilized nation without universal access and it's high time we end this travesty and send a message to these profit driven monsters that justice knows no income level.
