Vicar hospitalised with potato up his bum
Friday, October 31, 2008
A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.
The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex game.
He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his backside, according to The Sun.
A&E nurse Trudi Watson told the paper: “He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.
“But it’s not for me to question his story.”
She went on to reveal other objects removed from people’s derriére, including a cucumber, a Russian doll and a carnation.

Freaky Sex Friday: (InSpot) Internet Notification Service for Partners or Tricks
Posted by BuelahMan on October 31, 2008
Just what we need. An internet connection service that gives people a place to let their partner or trick know they gave them a ‘present’.
Nothing like up close and personal service AFTER the up close and personal service.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are more common than you know. In the U.S. alone, there are 15 million new cases each year. Talking to your sex partners, even virtually, helps take away the stigma associated with STDs. AND it’s scientifically proven to reduce transmission.** Did you know that some of these STDs make it 6-10 times more likely to transmit HIV from an infected person to his or her sex partner – no matter who has the STD first?TIPS ABOUT THE SITE
- Notify everyone you’ve had sex with in the past six months. Oral sex counts, too.
- Try looking through your old emails and your online address book to complete the list.
- If you decide to compose a personal message, put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Think about how you were told—what you liked and what you didn’t—and put the best of it into words.
- You don’t have to provide detailed medical info—this email card will automatically provide links to what they need to know.
- You can send postcards anonymously or from your email address. Historically, when you tell a sex partner(s) yourself, it’s more likely s.he will “hear” the message and get tested.
- No information will be collected or shared with any public or private agency.
The site was developed by Internet Sexuality Information Services, Inc. (I.S.I.S). We would especially like to thank our community advisory board for this project.I.S.I.S., Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to developing and using Internet technologies to prevent disease transmission and enhance the sexual well-being of individuals and communities. Our mission is to provide leadership, innovation, educational resources and research in online sexual health promotion.

War For The Whitehouse: Struggling Lower-Class

Still Unsure How Best To Fuck Selves With Vote
October 30, 2008
WASHINGTON—As election day nears, millions of the nation’s poorest voters have reportedly yet to settle on the most profound and enduring way to completely fuck themselves over when they head to the polls this year.
“On the one hand, I’m pretty sure Barack Obama will undermine my best interests by maintaining the same centrist, pro-corporate policies of previous Democratic administrations,” said Jim Estey, 34, a recently laid-off assembly-line worker. “Conversely, I agree with McCain and Palin on abortion, which might just balance out the fact that they’ll further marginalize people like me by supporting deregulation and slashing social programs. So it’s pretty much a toss-up at this point.”
Though such behavior appears to directly undermine their own well-being, lower-income voters have historically supported candidates determined to screw them six ways to Sunday, including Bill Clinton, who incarcerated them in record numbers and cut the welfare benefits many depended on for day-to-day sustenance, and George W. Bush, who widened the gap between them and the rich and sent thousands of them to die in Iraq. This year’s election is reportedly unique in that the nation’s poor must not only weigh how deeply and painfully their chosen candidate will penetrate their rectums, but must also consider unforeseen outside circumstances—such as economic collapse and terrorism—that might allow the next president to bend them over and brutally rape them in ways they never thought possible.
The latest polls indicate that a majority of lower-class citizens might choose not to vote at all Nov. 4, preferring instead to leave the details of how they get fucked to the moneyed classes.

Why Is Capable Government Required In America?
Posted by BuelahMan on October 30, 2008
The right-wing ideologues have been preying on Americans for so long we have become brainwashed by their incessant lies and enuendo. We have become complacent, believeing that these fools who call Government overbloated and too big or too much in American’s lives as truth, when, in fact, it is the very people (adequate people, I should say) who are to protect us from all enemies (even those found in food products from overseas, especially China).
But what does Bush and his corrupt clan do to protect us?
NOTHING.
Please view this BrassCheckTV video (at least the first 5 minutes) to see how the US government is complicit in allowing Chinese melamine tainted food onto our shelves at stores. We are the ONLY country that hasn’t banned these food stuffs from China.
Very telling, indeed.
Take this seriously and pass it along
In China, ANYTHING made with Chinese-manufactured milk powder before September 14th was PULLED from their store shelves.
In the US, this garbage is still being sold!
Note: Brasscheck TV has found independent verification of all the claims in this video.
Source: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/462.html
Foods at risk: ANY food manufactured in China and potentially any food containing milk powder. US food manufacturers imported millions of pounds of milk powder from China before September 14th. The FDA continues to allow to be sold.
This includes chocolate, cookies, cakes, and even things like packaged macaroni and cheese.
Background
Mike Mozart is a product designer who also runs a video blog about new developments in the toy industry.
His reviews are normally light, cheerful affairs and completely apolitical.
If he appears distraught, it’s because he is. This is serious.
Mozart has discovered that the US is the ONLY country that still permits potentially melamine-contaminated food on its shelves. Even China has removed these products from its stores.
That’s right. This poison that killed and injured thousands of people, mainly children, may be in US food. We’re the only country that hasn’t pulled it from its shelves.
There is a lot of background information on the melamine contamination issue found here. This is bigger than anyone is letting on and since every other industrialized country, including China, have taken the precautions to protect the people, is there any reason whatsoever that our fools in charge are NOT pulling this shit from our shelves?
Here’s what you need to know
Here are the indisputable facts of this case:
1. Chinese manufacturers are known to have added melamine to powdered milk products including baby food.
2. Melamine is not a permitted food additive in any country. It is an industrial product and is often contaminated with other toxins.
It damages the kidneys and is particularly dangerous, even fatal, to small children and infants.
3. Every other country on earth – including China – has removed all products made with Chinese-manufactured milk powder from their stores.
4. The FDA and the Bush Administration has made the US the only country on earth to have opted to leave these potentially tainted products on store shelves.
5. The FDA and the Bush administration knows that millions of pounds of Chinese-manufactured milk powder was imported into the US in the last twelve months.
6. It knows exactly what companies imported this material and the food manufacturers that used it know exactly what batches of their products this material is in.
7. The FDA and the Bush Administration further knows that:
a) injury and death associated with consumption of products containing melamine will not take place immediately (except perhaps in the case of infants) and
b) it will be practically impossible for sufferers of this tainted food to attribute their injuries to specific products since weeks, months or even years might pass between ingestion and symptoms.
Summary
By leaving these food products on store shelves, the FDA and the Bush Administration is deliberately risking serious harm to US consumers, no doubt hoping that because of the nature of the poisoning that they will be able get away with it and thus avoid the political consequences of a mass nationwide recall.
Please share this information with friends, family members and colleagues so they can make an informed decision about what they eat.
Knowing the parties involved – the Chinese government, the FDA, the Bush administration, the US news media, and corporate America – you can be sure that none of them can be trusted to look out for your welfare.
Avoid ALL food products manufactured in China and any product that contains milk powder that does not disclose its source. (Egg powder is also being identified as a potential source of this contamination.)

WTF Thursday: In Palin We Trust
Posted by BuelahMan on October 30, 2008
Linked by Alternet, I read this blog post at Socialogical Images about a Palin Look-alike contest at a Nevada Strip Club. Funny and the ladies aren’t too bad.
There will be those who consider this sexist or whatever, but I believe all is fair in love and politics. The fact is that this woman has made her entire career using this very same sexual exploitation and you women know it. So don’t go there to defend her.
Speaking for myself, I do not think the woman is all that attractive. She is pretty, yes, but being attractive means more to me. Being “attractive” means that people want to be around or close to you. I wouldn’t spend 2 minutes with this maniac, Palin. And even if she isn’t a maniac, she is a calculating scurge that is simply playing a role that was thrust upon her. Her entire career, from what I have read has been nothing but lies and using other’s power and influence to go places (like the Governor’s mansion).
I am not fooled by it. I am not fooled into thinking that her hunting makes her anything special. An ability to shoot animals from a helicopter doesn’t show me anything attractive, but causes me to want to run the other way.
Yet, there are men who want to spend time with her (for whatever reason). I don’t get it, because I have had the luxury (if we could call it that) of spending ‘time’ with some of the most beautiful women around (there was a time I was considered a “catch”, myself) and what I inevitably found out is that they use whatever beauty they have to cover up shortfalls in other areas (usually intellect or passion).
To this old man, attractiveness is so much more than a pretty body and face. It is the actual desire to want to spend other, less physical time with the person that means more to me.
Grudge-f*cking is no longer a worthy goal for this old man. But it appears McBush has no qualms with it. Must be that 24 hour Levitra.

Mississippi and Tennessee Taking More Job Loses

Whirlpool to lay off 5,000 workers as profit declines
The Wall Street Journal (10/29, Cameron, Brat) reports, “Whirlpool Corp. more than doubled its planned layoffs through next year to about 5,000 people as its profit fell 6.9 percent in the third quarter.” The manufacturer “also cut its earnings outlook, suspended its stock-buyback program and said it would raise prices further.” Company officials noted that “some consumers are delaying replacing appliances that are beyond repair” because of current economic conditions, but added that “such consumers eventually will buy the company’s [wares] because they are critical for maintaining a modern standard of living in the US.” Even so, Whirlpool “is uncertain enough about the global economy that it delayed forecasting its 2009 profit until early next year.” The Journal notes the company “is cutting production in the US and Europe by 20 percent in the fourth quarter and shutting plants in those two markets as well as Mexico.
Regarding the job cuts, the AP (10/29) notes that “about 500 are salaried and contract positions throughout North America, including approximately 300 in or near its corporate home of Benton Harbor, Mich. Another 1,900 overseas jobs are being trimmed, mostly in Europe.” Whirlpool will also “close a dishwasher plant in Jackson, Tenn., probably during the third quarter of 2009, and move production to a larger Whirlpool dishwasher factory in Findlay, Ohio. About 500 workers in Jackson will lose their jobs.” The announcement follows previous initiatives to “close four other plants, two in the United States and two in Mexico, displacing about 2,000 employees.”
Bloomberg News (10/29, Wolf) adds, “The global financial crisis, declining home values, rising unemployment and lower consumer confidence will keep appliance sales from rebounding anytime soon,” according to Chief Executive Officer Jeff Fettig. Analyst David MacGregor agreed, saying, “The outlook for any company that is selling products to the consumer right now is pretty bleak. … There is no sign of relief anytime soon.” MacGregor added, “Whirlpool appears to be” cutting costs and preparing for a downturn, “and management deserves credit for it.” The article notes, “In July, the company raised its 2008 projection for the increase in the cost of steel, copper and other raw materials used to make appliances to as much as $650 million.”
Forbes (10/29) reports that Whirlpool “slashed its forecast for free-cash flow to a range of zero to $50.0 million this year from an earlier view of up to $550.0 million.” The company “posted earnings of $163.0 million, or $2.15 per share, on sales of $4.9 billion, in the latest period, compared with profits of $175.0 million, or $2.20 per share, on sales of $4.8 billion, in the year-earlier quarter. AFP (10/28) also covered the story.

CNN reports on homeboys outrage!$$$$

Writer imagines other ways to spend war’s $1 trillion
CNN EDT Mon Oct 27th 2008
KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — When the Sunday morning political pundits began talking last year about the tab for the war in Iraq hitting $1 trillion, Rob Simpson sprang from his sofa in indignation.
“Why aren’t people outraged about this? Why aren’t we hearing about it?” Simpson said. And then it came to him: “Nobody knows what a trillion dollars is.”
The amount — $1,000,000,000,000 — was just too big to comprehend.
So Simpson, 51, decided to embark “on an unusual but intriguing research project” to put the dollars and cents of the war into perspective. He hired some assistants and spent 12 months immersed in economic data and crunching numbers.
The result: a slim but heavily annotated paperback released, “What We Could Have Done With the Money: 50 Ways to Spend the Trillion Dollars We’ve Spent on Iraq.”
Simpson is no geopolitical, macro-economic, inside-the-Beltway expert. He’s an armchair analyst and creative director for an advertising agency, a former radio announcer and music critic in Ontario and a one-time voiceover actor.
His alternative spending choices reflect his curiosity and wit.
He calculates $1 trillion could pave the entire U.S. interstate highway system with gold — 23.5-karat gold leaf. It could buy every person on the planet an iPod. It could give every high school student in the United States a free college education. It could pay off every American’s credit card. It could buy a Buick for every senior citizen still driving in the United States.
“As I started exploring, I was really taken aback by some of the things that can be done, both the absurd and the practical,” Simpson said.
America could double the 663,000 cops on the beat for 32 years. It could buy 16.6 million Habitat for Humanity houses, enough for 43 million Americans.
Now imagine investing that $1 trillion in the stock market — perhaps a riskier proposition today than when Simpson finished the book — to make it grow and last longer. He used an accepted long-term return on investment of 9 percent annually, with compounding interest.
The investment approach could pay for 1.9 million additional teachers for America’s classrooms, retrain 4 million workers a year or lay a foundation for paying Social Security benefits in 65 years to every child born in the United States, beginning today.
It’s too recent to make Simpson’s list, but that $1 trillion could also have paid for the Bush administration’s financial bailout plan, with $300 billion to spare. It might not be enough, however, to pay for the war in Iraq. Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz has recently upped his estimate of the war’s cost to $3 trillion.
Simpson created a Web site companion to his book that lets you go virtual shopping with a $1 trillion credit card. Choices range from buying sports franchises to theme parks, from helping disabled veterans to polar bears.
Click on Air Force One, the president’s $325 million airplane. The program asks: “Quantity?”
“At one point we couldn’t find anybody who actually stuck with it long enough to spend $1 trillion,” Simpson said. “It will wear you out.”

Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader Endorses John Murphy For Congress
Posted by BuelahMan on October 28, 2008
This says much about Murphy’s character, but even more about Nader’s. What I like the most is the annihilation of the idea that Nader caused Gore to lose in 2000. The article points out the issues that truly lost Gore the election (for even Gore doesn’t make the claim that Nader cost him anything). Hell, Gore didn’t even carry Tennessee (his own state). Had he done that, he would have won.
This sentence says it all:
But the Democrats and the MSM never let the facts get in the way of a good lie if it gets votes or sells media ads.
Nader’s reputation as a truthful, hard-working citizen representative (you don’t know how much you owe to this man’s efforts) is one thing. But I challenge anyone to show me where he has been incorrect on any subject. Economy, Safety, Iraq war, Military Industrial Complex… every issue. He has foresight and intellect the others can only dream about.
He is so much more than wishing that we “hope” for “change”. He has the answers that will bring the change that will make us respected and powerful (economically and socially). For, the answer is as clear as the nose on my face… we MUST shrink the over-bloated and unnecessary military, if we are ever going to come back financially. Barney Franks was brave enough to say it. It is time for the “Change and Hope” guy to admit it (but he won’t, for he is afraid it will lose him votes). McCain never will. His entire persona rides on unending war. Obama’s is a quiet, misleading rhetoric that is fooling a lot of people. People “hoping” that he will become the Progressive he first eluded to to win the Primaries, then “changed” to the war monger in the main election cycle.
“Change”? Hell, no. He has become one of them.
Just look at who he has chosen as advisors (many of the Clinton regime).
“Hope”? For what? The miracle that he isn’t lying and has some grand scheme to be presented after the election?
Hope on, sheople. Just like usual. Just like it always is.

NATION’S FOREMOST PROPONENT FOR POLITICAL CHANGE SAYS MURPHY BELIEVES THAT CORPORATIONS SHOULD BE OUR SERVANTS, NOT OUR MASTERS
For Immediate Release: October 28, 2008
For Further Information: John Murphy (610) 384-4460
EAST FALLOWFIELD, PA – The John Murphy for Congress Campaign is extremely happy to announce that Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader has endorsed Independent Congressional Candidate John Murphy for House of Representatives in the 16th district.
According to Ralph Nader, “John Murphy is as rugged as a buffalo and keeps his eye on the horizons of justice. He believes that corporations should be our servants, not our masters, and works hard to get them off our back. So the government can serve the people, as the framers of the constitution intended.”
John Murphy said that “Ralph has been one of my mentors since the 1960s. His endorsement is one of the highest honors that I have ever received. But I have been honored by him in the past. In 2004 I represented Ralph in a series of debate-like forums all throughout southeastern Pennsylvania and since that time I have represented him in the Pennsylvania Ballot Access Coalition. The PBAC is an organization dedicated to enacting fair ballot access laws in Pennsylvania. It is composed of the leaders of all of the newer parties and I am pleased to be Ralph’s representative”.
One of the big lies told by the Democrat Party and the MSM (mainstream media) is that Ralph caused Al Gore to lose in Florida in 2000 even though exit polls showed that the reason for Gore’s loss was that 250,000 registered Democrats voted for George Bush. There were also several other factors that accounted for Gore’s loss including the removal of 80,000 Florida citizens from the voters list by Katherine Harris and the unprecedented decision by the Supreme Court to stop the recount. But the Democrats and the MSM never let the facts get in the way of a good lie if it gets votes or sells media ads.
John Murphy said “the Democrat Party leaders like to say that Ralph took votes from Gore but of course that would imply that Democrat Party owned them in the first place. Votes cannot be owned” continued Murphy, “votes must be earned. As if in retaliation, the Democrat Party removed Ralph from the ballot in Pennsylvania in 2004 yet only 4% of his over 50,000 signatures were found to be not authentic. Democrat Party leaders in Pennsylvania are now being prosecuted because they used state employees to pull off this travesty. And paid them bonuses to boot! This is what ‘bonusgate’ is all about”.
Murphy concluded “there are two ways you can defeat democracy; one way is by preventing people from voting, the other is by preventing worthy candidates from ever appearing on the ballot. Here in Pennsylvania, in 2004 the Democrat Party chose the latter”.
