Two Raving Hysteric Women With Nothing But Too Much Time On Their Hands...

Dallas Woman Fuming Over Smoking Neighbor At Complex

A manager and attorney for Estancia Townhomes, a 52-building community near Prestonwood Country Club in North Dallas, said it's unlikely the Daniels sustained any smoke damage. There is a solid, two-hour fire wall from the foundation to the roof between each of the homes.



And even if some smell did seep through, the Daniels renewed their lease at Estancia – where smoking is permitted – six months after they say the problem began.

The only thing that stinks is whatever their ulterior motive is. But kudos on the gas masks! Nice touch! Loser pays anyone?

Walking While Texting? Don't Bitch When You Trip

Texting Teen Falls Down Open Manhole on Staten Island

One second a Staten Island teenager was walking down the street, the next second she was gone.

Alexa Longueira was walking down Victory Boulevard and getting ready to text-message when she fell into an open sewer manhole. Now the city is trying to figure out why the manhole was left open and unblocked.

Alexa suffered some cuts and scrapes but is otherwise OK.

He mother says workers told her they left the manhole open and unattended for just seconds while they went to fetch some cones from their truck. [...]

Alexa's mom says it doesn't matter that her daughter was text-messaging, the manhole should not have been left open. The family plans to file as lawsuit.

Apparently in New York you can sue yourself for being an idiot. Who knew?

Obama: Iran Has Right To Nuclear Power

President Barack Obama reiterated that Iran may have some right to nuclear energy _ provided it takes steps to prove its aspirations are peaceful.

In a BBC interview broadcast Tuesday, Obama also restated plans to pursue direct diplomacy with Tehran to encourage it to set aside any ambitions for nuclear weapons it might harbor.

Iran has insisted its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity. But the U.S. and other Western governments accuse Tehran of seeking atomic weapons.

"Without going into specifics, what I do believe is that Iran has legitimate energy concerns, legitimate aspirations. On the other hand, the international community has a very real interest in preventing a nuclear arms race in the region," Obama said.

The comments echo remarks Obama made in Prague last month in which he said his administration would "support Iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy with rigorous inspections" if Iran proves it is no longer a nuclear threat.

Iranian state television described the news as Obama recognizing the "rights of the Iranian nation," a phrase typically used to refer to Iran's nuclear program.

Dear God protect us from ourselves and the children that were elected to lead us.

The Gheys Are Separate... But Are They Equal?

Texas Christian University to Offer Separate Housing for Gay Students

Eight students have signed up for Texas Christian University's designated on-campus housing for gay students and their supporters, in what may be the only such college housing in North Texas.

The DiversCity Q community will open in the fall in a section of the Tom Brown-Pete Wright apartments. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender students and allies — heterosexual classmates who support them — will have the chance to live together, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in a story posted Tuesday on its Web site.

"It's a chance for students to be part of a unique experience," said David Cooper, TCU associate director for residential life.

Yes... apparently the "unique experience" they're talking about is better known as "segregation". So all this brouhaha about equality is just so gays can move into a residence hall ghetto. Yeah that make sense... No, no it doesn't.

Paltrow Seized With Stupidity

Gwyneth is worried. Apparently your shampoo will kill you and your children:

Gwyneth Paltrow has been branded ‘loopy’ by scientists after warning that products such as shampoo could be linked to cancer.

The actress and wife of Coldplay singer Chris Martin says she was ‘seized with fear’ after reading research about what she calls ‘environmental toxins’ – chemicals which are present in everyday items. [...]

She made the claims on her website goop.com, where she usually airs her views on her favourite restaurants and organic food recipes.

She said: "A couple of years ago I was asked to give a quote for a book concerning environmental toxins and their effects on our children. While reading up on the subject, I was seized with fear about what the research said. Foetuses, infants and toddlers are basically unable to metabolize toxins the way that adults are, and we are constantly filling our environments with chemicals that may or may not be safe."

Unfortunately not everyone (and by everyone I mean knowledgeable people) agree with her. Loopy Goopy Gwyneth's warnings are "rubbish" say scientists:

"It does annoy me when celebrities use their position to spout nonsense. They have a perfect right to their views, even if they are loopy, but they do hold a position of influence. You may as well ask someone on the Underground."

So said Dr. Hugh Pennington, emeritus professor of bacteriology at Aberdeen University.

Oh, and Gwyneth? Dear, if you plan to continue this affected "British-ness" with your speech and spelling at least be consistent. If you spell "fetus" as "foetus" - then spell "metabolize" as "metabolise". The expert conclusion? Don't drink your shampoo by the gallon (sorry - "litre") and you'll be fine, Gwyneth.

I'd Watch

Via Agent Bedhead

Hugh Jackman, the very cool actor whose name always sounds like the third line in a really filthy knock-knock joke, has dropped a few hints about his plans for MCing the Academy Awards this Sunday. No question, if he follows through with this then Jackman will deliver a dramatic change of pace from that Chris Rock disappointment a few years back:

CNN: The sexiest man alive” [is] going to be up there nude?
Jackman: Drunk and nude, yes. So that’s our new fresh approach. It’s the Australian way.

Let's face it, there's not much other reason to spend forty-eight hours of your life on what has become a boring celebutard spectacle of political posturing and meaningless self-congratulation that has little to do with its original purpose. I could do without the interpretive dance though, and I'm sure I don't want to hear Sean Penn sing a love song to his boyfriend-for-life Hugo...

Vacation Spot? Not...

Al Qaeda Claims to Have Taken 2 U.N. Diplomats, 4 Tourists Hostage

Al Qaeda's North Africa branch claimed Wednesday it is holding hostage a senior U.N. peace envoy, his aide and four tourists kidnapped in the Sahara Desert in recent weeks.

The United Nations special envoy for Niger, Robert Fowler, and his aide Louis Guay, both Canadian diplomats, were kidnapped Dec. 14 in the southern Sahara country.

Four tourists, including two Swiss, a German woman and a British man, were kidnapped by gunmen Jan. 22 near the border in neighboring Mali, their tour operator said.

"We announce to the general public that the mujahideen (holy warriors) reserve the right to deal with the six kidnapped according to Islamic Shariah law," Al Qaeda in North Africa's purported spokesman, Salah Abu Mohammed, told the pan-Arab TV station Al-Jazeera overnight Wednesday.

Tourists? Seriously? What the f-ck is there to "tour" in the middle of the desert on the Algeria/Mali border? I know Europeans have a liberal definition of what constitutes an acceptable "vacation" but you'd think even they might not be intrigued by sand, rock, and camel shit. Here's a pic from Google:


There, you've seen the middle of nowhere and didn't have to risk being kidnapped and beheaded by barbarians.

Authorities Take Adolf Hitler, Young Sisters From Parents

Authorities in New Jersey removed 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell and his two young siblings from the care of their parents, according to a published report Tuesday.

The state's Division of Youth and Family Services took the boy, as well as his sisters -- JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, 1, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, 9 months -- from Heath and Deborah Campbell, according to LehighValleyOnline.com.

The parents were scheduled to make a court visit Tuesday, but the appearance was postponed.

Holland Township Police Chief David van Gilson told LehighValleyOnline.com that he didn't know why the children were taken, but added that his office had not received any complaints of abuse.

The family made national headlines last year when a cakemaker refused to add the boy's name to a cake.

Not to defend these nimrods, but there better be a good reason for removing the children from their parents' custody. Otherwise the state is the one acting Nazi-ish.

As A "Friend To Gays" Sean Penn Is Milk-toast

A Friend to Gays and Antigay Dictators Alike

It’s not surprising that Sean Penn, thanks to his star turn as Harvey Milk, is becoming a hero of the gay community -- likely to be showered with acting prizes, and deservedly so. But his outspoken admiration for the Castro and Chavez regimes should make everyone think twice. [...]

“There isn’t a single individual that is taken seriously in the human rights community -- whether you’re talking about Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, or Freedom House -- that would describe the Castro brothers and their regime as anything other than a police state run by thugs and murderers,” says Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation, which focuses on Latin America. “That Sean Penn would be honored by anyone, let alone the gay community, for having stood by a dictator that put gays into concentration camps is mind-boggling.” [...]

Why should anyone care about an actor’s politics? The bloviations of Hollywood stars tend to be ignorant and irrelevant to those interested in serious debate about the issues of the day, but Penn’s grandstanding matters due to both his role in Milk and the film’s political relevance in the context of Proposition 8 and the nationwide campaign for gay rights. Gay rights are human rights, as Milk said, and Penn discredits both when he rationalizes illiberal ideologies as “anti-imperialist” and rushes to the defense of thugs who posture as victims of the West. Penn’s ignoble political side projects taint a noble cause.

Ignoble and mind-boggling doesn't even begin to describe it. Penn is a perfect example of Lenin's "useful idiot" - willing to excoriate the very nation that gives him voice in order to defend people that would at best lock him up, at worst use him and then dispose of him.

Stupid Hippies

English Hippies Want Local Wi-Fi Network Turned Off

Turn off that Wi-Fi network — it's disturbing our chakras.

That's what many residents of Glastonbury, a lovely medieval town turned New Age hub in southwestern England, are demanding the local government do.

Ever since the town's free municipal wireless broadband network went online in May, people have been complaining of, as an online petition puts it, "headaches, dizziness, nausea, severe tiredness, brain fog, disorientation and loss of appetite, loss of balance, inability to concentrate, loss of creativity" — all ailments an examining physician would find it difficult to prove or disprove.

"This place is not appropriate for a Wi-Fi trial," resident Linda Taylor tells the local Fosse Way magazine. "People are complaining of headaches, tingling skin among other symptoms. This makes me wonder what is it doing to the children." [...]

One man has even begun making orgone generators, which use crystals, semi-precious stones and gold to purportedly put out positive energy to combat the negative vibes flooding the town from the Wi-Fi base stations.

"I have given a number of generators to shops in the High Street and hidden others in bushes in the immediate vicinity of the antennae. That way you can bring back the balance," Matt Todd told the Telegraph. "The science hasn't really got into the mainstream because the government won't make decisions which will affect big business, even if it concerns everyone's health."

I'll tell you what's it doing to the children, it's giving them a chance to access real health and science information that might be able to counteract some of the bullsh-t you're feeding into their soft little brains. If the wi-fi network isn't being used then take it down; but please don't turn it off just because these jello brained loonies think it's messing up their chakras. Sheesh!

Eh What The Huh?!

Man Poses As Underwear Market Researcher, Pleads Guilty To Child Molestation Charges

Ben Hawkins pleaded guilty Wednesday to nine charges of importuning and three counts of gross sexual imposition.

Prosecutors in Hamilton County say Hawkins looked for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 16. They say he arranged to meet parents and children at schools, hospitals or at their homes and told parents he needed to measure their children's underwear for research.

Okay, the "underwear market researcher" should be punished, but seriously who are these parents? Why are they allowed to still have custody of their children? At the very least they should be kicked in the head repeatedly.

Global Warming Bullsh-t

NASA Admits It "Blundered" By Declaring "Hottest October On Record"

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.

This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China's official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its "worst snowstorm ever". In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years. [...]

The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running. [...]

A GISS spokesman lamely explained that the reason for the error in the Russian figures was that they were obtained from another body, and that GISS did not have resources to exercise proper quality control over the data it was supplied with. This is an astonishing admission: the figures published by Dr Hansen's institute are not only one of the four data sets that the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) relies on to promote its case for global warming, but they are the most widely quoted, since they consistently show higher temperatures than the others.

Blundered? That's such a kind word... Once is blundered. Twice is bullshit.

If there is one scientist more responsible than any other for the alarm over global warming it is Dr Hansen, who set the whole scare in train back in 1988 with his testimony to a US Senate committee chaired by Al Gore. Again and again, Dr Hansen has been to the fore in making extreme claims over the dangers of climate change. [...]

Yet last week's latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen's methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced by Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s.

Sing Along! (to the tune of Oh! Susanna)

Oh he came from down in Nashville, in a big stretch limousine,
He's going to the arctic, the melting ice to see
It rained all night the day he left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot he froze to death; oh Algore, don't you cry.

We Shall Overcome! Stomp On Your Face!

Phyllis Burgess learned first hand that the left's tolerance extends only so far as you agree with them. Go beyond that and you're open to being physically attacked:

The woman at the center of a disturbance that erupted on Friday at a protest against the gay marriage ban says she plans to press charges.

Phyllis Burgess alleges that she was assaulted as she carried a Styrofoam cross through the crowd at a No on Proposition 8 rally in front of Palm Springs City Hall.

As reported on mydesert.com, the 69-year-old Palm Springs resident originally declined to press charges when asked by police and joked that she felt lucky — that at least she didn't lose her wig in the tussle like Cloris Leachman did on “Dancing with the Stars.”

“I guess I didn't see the gravity of the whole thing and how it was being portrayed to the public,” Burgess said. “People are incensed. They seem to want some kind of justice.”

What was planned as a peaceful candlelight service took a hostile turn when the crowd began pushing and a cross was torn from Burgess' arms. The cross ended up in pieces on the ground.

The crowd chanted, “Go home!” “Nazi!” and “Shame on you!” as organizers pleaded with the crowd to ignore the woman. About 500 protesters attended the event, the largest in the county since 52 percent of voters approved Proposition 8, an amendment that banned same-sex marriage.

Don't you just love the lost irony? They were calling her a "Nazi" while they behaved like... well... Nazis. What part of "peaceably to assemble" don't they get? Here's the video:



Yes that's right. The gays aren't going to be bullied by ferocious little old Christian women anymore! Take that you elderly thug! It didn't end there either. When a reporter tried to interview Ms. Burgess later the same queens who attacked her earlier gave a repeat performance and they both had to flee for safety:


Oh those courageous homos! Stomping on crosses for equal rights! What also gets my dander up is that I know that 99.9% of the people protesting didn't take advantage of the right to marry and have no intention of doing so even if Prop 8 is overturned; including that charming gentleman in the white shirt. Here's a hint, a black shirt would be more slimming.

Now don't get me wrong, this is a contentious issue. After all, we're talking about changes to millennia of cultural tradition. I disagree with Ms. Burgess. I think think that people who want to get married should be able too; it's a matter of equal rights plain and simple. Personally I think the whole argument boils down to semantics, i.e. the word "marriage." Well fine, don't call it marriage. Exempt religious institutions from having to recognize it. As long as the rights, privileges, and duties are the same I don't care if we call it Blueberry Sherbet.

I wonder if Joe.My.God will share the outrage? No, no, of course not. He only gets his tits in a twist if someone says boo! to a gehy. Oh and circuit parties; he gets them twisted at circuit parties too.

The people responsible for this insanity do not speak for me, and the rest of you have my sincere apologies for my fellow gays' stupidity.

Nudist group wants clothing-optional polling site

A nudist community on Florida's west coast wants to establish the first clothing-optional polling site. The Caliente Resorts, located in Pasco County north of Tampa, has approached election officials about the idea.

Nothing in state law would prohibit it, but the supervisor of elections says he is opposed to creating any new precincts before redistricting in 2010.
