Delta Air Lines charges returning soldiers for checked bags {Gadling}
Jun 8th 2011 4:10AM Regardless of what "arrangement" Delta had with servicemen, I'm appalled that these men could be charged a dime.
Where's the government? Doesn't it realize that this sort of thing can happen? Delta should be required to bill the Defense Department and not the soldiers.
Disgraceful!
Santa Monica Latest City to Fight to Get Circumcision Ban on Ballot {ParentDish}
Jun 6th 2011 3:33PM Female circumcision is the most despicable form of mutilation that can be inflicted on a human being. Male circumcisions is a close second. The foreskin contains millions of nerves that enhance sexual pleasure. For that reason alone, I feel I was robbed when I was circumcised as an infant.
The cancer risk can be eliminated with simple hygiene. However, any ban on the practice should be a state, not a federal, matter. Any ban would be struck down as a violation of the First Amendment.State constitutions are easier to amend. Nevertheless, the 14th Amendment might invalidate any such changes.
I glad to see that the ban on male infant circumcision is picking up steam. but years of legal challenges lie ahead.
The Word 'Retard': Stop Using It {ParentDish}
Mar 6th 2011 8:49PM I see the language police are at it again. The word is not in itself offensive.It's usage is idiomatic. Political Correctness will destroy us yet!
Author of Unauthorized Schwarzenegger Bio: Arnold Was a 'Notorious Sex Addict' and Drug Dealer {Moviefone Blog}
Oct 25th 2010 5:32AM Arnold's remarks are refreshing. What other politician would be so candid? That's why I would vote for him if he were able to run for president. American voters are either to stupid or hypocritical to vote for someone so open. They want only ineffectual phonies like Barak Obama, pseudo-patriotic, manipulated numbskulls like Ronald Reagan, religious-right panderers and ignoramuses like George W. Bush, and liars and crooks like Richard Nixon.
However, Arnold is too real to be elected. So, we'll continue to have presidents who will continue to dig our country's grave. And, frankly, the American people deserve no better!
Female Body Types Determined By Genetics, Study Says {Stylelist}
Oct 11th 2010 3:53PM Most people aren't familiar with the most comprehensive study of body types --the Sheldon Somatatype, which popularized the terms ectomorph (thin), mesomorph (muscular) and endomorph (fat).
Sheldon found that most people are a combination of the three types, and he created a ratings system to describe the various combinations. For example, 4-7-8 (ectomorph-mesomorph-endomorph)indicated the proportion of each of the body type in a particular person.
A rating of 2-9-4 indicated a very muscular man.
He published a book (long out of print) containing photos of males with all the combinations. So, go ahead and rate your friends. Enjoy.
Savings Experiment: How to rent movies, with a very happy ending {WalletPop}
Jun 10th 2010 11:05PM I've been a NETFLIX subscriber for 4 years and I LOVE it. The variety of films is astonishing and the instant view feature gives me umpteen hours of instant gratification. Netflix has plenty of NC-17 films that the prudes at Blockbuster don't carry because it's owned by the straitlaced Mormons (I hate censorship!).
Turn-around time is very fast. Thanks to Starz instant play, I've been able to watch dozens of episodes of "Gunsmoke" that I missed when they were originally broadcast.
Yes, indeed, I am a very happy customer.
Franklin Graham Warns Obama: You May Lose Millions of Evangelical Votes {Politics Daily}

Mel Gibson Takes on Obama in a War of the Words {PopEater}
Jan 30th 2010 6:06PM Bush used 9/11 as an excuse to put on a display of phony, grandstanding patriotics. It was his ignorance of history that led us into the disastrous Iraqi war. He showed his biases by kissing the asses of Evangelical nutcases, holding weekly video meetings with the disgraced Ted Haggard.
Bush stole the 2000 election and barely won re-election in 2004. He's a dangerous reactionary who wanted to junk up the Constitution with that awful marriage amendment.
Even worse, his family has been in bed with the Saudis and bin Ladens (YES, IT'S TRUE).
At least G. W.'s father was a more decent man. The people who defend W. must be stark-raving mad or blind.
Mel Gibson Takes on Obama in a War of the Words {PopEater}
Jan 30th 2010 5:53PM Why should Gibson's opinions matter more than anyone else's? Big deal, he's a film star, but that doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about. He's a hypocritical, ultra-devout (read hateful) Catholic, an anti-Semite and homophobe.
Mel Gibson Interview Turns Nasty {Moviefone Blog}
Jan 29th 2010 4:04PM It's time that this anti-Semetic, homophobic, reactionary, pseudo-patriotic actor went back to Australia's bush country permanently
