Saturday stuff

Some political & some cultural. Some stupidly funny & some sadly serious.

Oddly they needed to conduct a study to find this out:

The men who were most satisfied with their appearance, and the most appearance-oriented - meaning they were highly invested in their looks and considered appearance to be important - were also the most likely to have sex without condoms and to have sex with multiple partners.

I wonder how much money these idiots spent to figure out that good looking guys were more "successful" with the ladies than average looking guys.

This could come in handy.

LONDON (AFP) - A high-tech alarm audible only to youngsters which has dramatically cut loutish behaviour. The Mosquito emits an irritating high-pitched pulse that most people aged under 20 can hear but almost nobody over 30 can. The Spar grocery shop on Caerlon Road in Newport, south Wales said anti-social behaviour had plunged by 84 percent outside the premises since it was installed earlier this year.

Not only aren't there a lot of Republicans in New York, but the few there who claim to be Republican are pretty goofy.

A Republican challenger to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is bizarrely claiming that the former first lady has been spying in her bedroom window and flying helicopters over her house in the Hamptons, witnesses told The Post yesterday. Former Reagan-era Pentagon official Kathleen "KT" McFarland stunned a crowd of Suffolk County Republicans on Thursday by saying: "Hillary Clinton is really worried about me, and is so worried, in fact, that she had helicopters flying over my house in Southampton today taking pictures," according to a prominent GOP activist who was at the event.

As if bombings and other stupidity wasn't enough, now we find out terrorists considered poisoning beer. That's going too far.

The Toronto Blue Jays pitchers hit five batters from the Indians yesterday. I know it's just Spring training but that's a lot of hit batters. Hey, 8 days to opening night!

Cheney on attack after Dems call Bush 'dangerously incompetent' "Bout time! People wonder about the low poll numbers? Well, if the administration allows the Dems and their accomplices in the media to have complete control of the message that's what you'll get. A VP's job is to say things in a less diplomatic way than a president should. A VP like Cheney with no future ambitions is particularly suited for this role. Get him out speaking more.

Here is something to scare ya.
