When Chelsea Clinton was 6 years old, Bill and Hillary took her to the beach. As she walked along the beach, she noticed that some of the ladies had boobs bigger than Hillary’s, so she asked her why.
Hillary told her, “The bigger they are the dumber that person is.” Satisfied with the answer, Chelsea left to play in the ocean, but returned to tell her mother that many of the men appeared to have larger “pee-pees” than her dad.
Hillary explained, “The bigger they are the dumber that person is.” Again, satisfied with the answer, Chelsea returned to the ocean to play.
Shortly after, she returned again, promptly informing her mother, “Daddy is talking to the dumbest girl on the beach, and the longer he talks, the dumber he gets!”
Italy’s Court of Appeal has issued a new hands-off landmark ruling – outlawing men from scratching their crotches in public.
he ruling says that blatant scratching or holding is “an act contrary to decorum and public decency”.
Superstitious Italian men often hold or touch their private parts for good luck when they see a hearse or to ward off bad luck – the equivalent of touching wood in Britain.
Italy’s Court of Appeal in Rome made the judgement after listening to the appeal of a 42-year-old man from Como who had been fined 200 euros for gross indeceny at a hearing in May last year.
His defence lawyer had argued that his client – a mechanic – had been mereley adjusting himself in his overalls and nothing else.
However, the appeal was overturned by the judges who said in their ruling hat: “The touching of genitalia in public is a sign of ill manners and must be considered against public decency.
“The rules of social etiquette require all of us to abstain from what might be considered offensive to public decorum.”
The ruling added that touching or scratching below the belt risked causing “awkwardness, disgust and disapproval in the average man”.
The man’s 200 euro fine was upheld and he was also ordered to pay 1000 euros in costs.
I guess this rules out Major League Baseball ever playing any exhibition games over there.
Barack Hussein Obama has a plan for this great country of ours that should scare the crap out of any sane person who hears it. In a nutshell, he plans to hand this nation over to our enemies on a silver platter.
Considering the current state of the world we live in, to hear this type of rhetoric come out of a Presidential candidate’s mouth is beyond belief.
Watch this video and think about what this man is saying. He will leave us vulnerable to the world. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid….
I wonder if he still watches Barney, singing along, “I love you; you love me…”
Should repeat drunk drivers have to use special license plates?
Maryland lawmakers will begin work today on a proposal to require special tags for people convicted of three cases of impaired driving.
Under the bill, repeat violators would have their regular license tags pulled and replaced with ones that include the letters D-U-I in red. The violators would have to use those tags for one registration period.
The proposal comes as several states try shaming repeat drunk drivers. Tennessee requires convicted drunken drivers to do 24 hours of roadside cleanup while wearing orange vests emblazoned with the phrase, “I am a Drunk Driver.”
Ohio requires yellow license plates with red letters for some convicted drunken drivers. One Arizona county attorney posts the names and faces of drunken drivers on a Web site.
Maryland’s proposal would take effect in October if approved.
The bill is up for debate today in a House committee.
This news brings a few inconvenient questions to mind. Could this be the result of Al Gore’s carbon credits? Will Al Gore be forced to give that Nobel Peace Prize back? Will the tree huggers take credit for this because they drive hybrid cars? Or are the few countries that have signed on to Kyoto the cause?
Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile — the list goes on and on.
No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.
A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year’s time. For all four sources, it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.
Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases. The dramatic cooling seen in just 12 months time seems to bear that out. While the data doesn’t itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it.
Let’s hope those factors stop fast. Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans — and most of the crops and animals we depend on — prefer a temperature closer to 70.
Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.
