Yet Another Reason to Love the Aussies...

They definitely know how to stage a good protest. The original news story on the upcoming Australian bikini march is here, but this "augmented" version is a bit easier on the eyes.

Paltrow Opens Mouth, Words Fall Out

Here's an example of an uninformed celebrity, Gwyneth Paltrow, making public comments regarding the U.S. from a closed-minded, egocentric perspective.

From Breitbart.com:

"I love the English lifestyle, it's not as capitalistic as America. People don't talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner," she told "NS," the weekend magazine supplement of daily Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias on Saturday.

"I like living here because I don't fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans," the 34-year-old added.

She added that she loves living in London because Madonna is her neighbor. "She's like an older sister" who gives her "good advice."

But, oops! In another report, Paltrow now denies she said anything anti-American and blames the quotes on poor Spanish language skills she demonstrated during a press conference.

So, who does one believe? As I recall, Paltrow has a history of being quite the liberal elitist. Therefore, I'll believe she did diss the U.S. After all, it is the trendy liberal thing to do.

Study: Women Can't Keep Mouths Shut

(San Francisco, California) A female psychiatrist with the University of California, Dr. Luan Brizendine, has conducted research which found that women talk three times as much as men.

Based on clinical work and analyses of more than 1,000 scientific studies, Dr. Brizendine's research found that "the simple act of talking triggers a flood of brain chemicals which give women a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts when they get a high." It's not that way with us guys.

From TheRegister.co.uk:

Dr Luan Brizendine of the University of California, who's published her shock findings in The Female Brain, says the average woman works her way through 20,000 words per day, compared with just 7,000 for the average bloke. She says "women devote more brain cells to talking than men", and cites fundamental differences between male and female brains as the cause.
According to "self-proclaimed feminist" Dr. Brizendine, the difference is explained by the level of testosterone in a person. The high level of testosterone in males suppresses those areas of the brain which control communication, emotion and memory.

Now, a logical conclusion would be that males have better listening skills than women. After all, if women are yakking most of the time, they can't be talking to other women since they, too, are yakking. Therefore, women must be talking to men and, as a result, men empirically are more adept at listening since they do it three times as much as women.

On the contrary, says Dr. Brizendine who runs a female "mood and hormone" clinic in San Francisco. According to her psychiatric feminist research, the testosterone in the male brain also shrinks the primary hearing cortex which makes them "deaf" to most logical arguments. However, the shrinkage in one area of the brain is compensated for by the expansion of the areas of the brain which control sexual thought processing.

Notably, not everyone concurs with Dr. Brizendine's assertions since there is no common agreement regarding testosterone's effect on the brain. Personally, I view the contention that women talk too much as about right, but it's ludicrous to label men as "deaf" to logic.

In summary, research found that women talk most of the time while men don't and the reason is that women don't have nasty testosterone to make them deaf and fiendish about sex.

Dr. Brizendine is reported to be affiliated with the University of California but in which capacity is unclear. Internet searches under 'psychobabble studies' and 'feminist psychiatric hooey' failed to return any useful results.

World Healing Day

Although it appears that Yusuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens, jumped clean off the peace train, other aging rockers have not.

Beatle John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, has called for December 8, the anniversary of Lennon's death, to be observed as a day of worldwide healing.

According to Ono, the day of healing is "the day to ask for forgiveness from those who suffered the insufferable."

Uh ... does anyone know what the hell that means?

Star Trek is Stupid

It's not just an opinion. According to this encyclopedia, it's a fact:

In general the theme behind the Star Trek movies is the underlying goodness of humanity. This is why it is referred to as science fiction. The Star Trek universe, unlike the gritty Star Wars universe, serves up a vision of a very sanitary, well-vacuumed and quite modular future with cool toys like the holodeck. The holodeck is a large room which can take on the appearance of any time/place imaginable and can be populated with palpable replicas of people, aliens and things for you to interact with. It is obviously a place where your wildest fantasies could come true but is routinely used by the show's characters to play poker with Stephen Hawking.

Yusuf Islam Comes to the US

Yusuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens, has been granted permission to enter the US. Brilliant!

When he gets here, will somebody in the media grow a spine and ask him about allegations levelled by a radical cleric that he once was associated with the jailed Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman?

Jedi's Demand Recognition: 4th Largest 'Religion' in the UK

Geeks, nerds, dweebs, and other social outcasts of the world are demanding that their 'religion' be taken seriously. That religion? Jedi Knight.

I. Kid. You. Freaking. Not.

That, according to an article in the UK's Daily Mail today. It also claims that:

390,000 people in the UK belong to the religion of 'Jedi Knights'. There are also an estimated 70,000 Jedi knights in Australia, 53,000 in New Zealand and 20,000 in Canada.

Numbers for how many Jedi living in the U.S. were not available, but rumor has it that more Americans think of themselves as Sith than Jedi. Hey, we're just trying to bring order to a chaotic universe!

Actual. Freaking. Quote.

We therefore are calling upon the United Nations Association to change November 16 to the UN Interstellar Day of Tolerance, to reflect the religious make-up of our twenty-first century civilisation.

‘Tolerance is about respecting difference where ever it lies, including other galaxies. Please don't exclude us from your important work. May the Force be with you.’

May the Force be with you too. And may it lead you out of your parent's basement and may you finally get laid!

Hat tip Hauke, who also finds this in the comments:

"I would bet there are more TREKKIES out there - what about OUR relgion? What about OUR basic human rights? We've suffered more, and longer, than those Star Wars nerds! We've been Geeky since the 60's! When is OUR day coming?
Star Trek geeks vs. Star Wars geeks? I feel a civil war brewing.......

UPDATE Bonus: Video! Including retard speaking Wookie, and loser 'translating'!!!!!!!

Welcome To Real Life

I alluded to it a few days ago.

It's time for a little R&R from the online propaganda war. Time to take a couple of days away from the worries about jihad, and watching politics and world events.

Jack London said it best in The Call of the Wild:

"He was sounding the deeps of his nature, and of the parts of his nature that were deeper than he, going back into the womb of Time."

Deer season starts tomorrow, the only time of year I get up before 9 a.m. on a day off.

Good luck to my fellow hunters who share this tradition with me.

And to my fellow veterans, since tomorrow is also Veteran's Day, God bless you and thank you.

Oh, and with luck, hopefully I'll be able to post an image of a nice rack that even Oyster would approve of.

More Of That Famed Jawa Election Coverage

Here's how the race tonight is shaping up:

1. Mario Lopez

2. Joey Lawrence

3. Emmitt Smith

The loss of Emmitt would be huge defeat for those of us who have to suffer the fact that our wife is TiVOing two shows at once, and therefore we cannot change the channel.

Weep with me.

Update: Glad that's over.

Goodbye Election Season

Hellooooooooo deer season!

A fatwa:

In the name of Allah the most merciless and uncompassionate.

I call upon my brothers, ye who wear the holy garments of Mossy Oak© and carriers of the mighty compound bow, muzzleloader, shotgun, and centerfire rifle.

Jihad upon the infidel whitetail! Jihad upon the dirty Mule deer! A jihad upon all legal game animals!

"Slay them where ye may find them." (with accordance to local hunting regulations, of course). "Field dress them, butcher them, and serve them at the dinner table." - Sura 9:29 of the Hunter's Holly Quoran.

Gays, Republicans and the MSM

From the MSM's fixation on Republican gayness, it's pretty clear that MSM reporters are convinced that evangelical Republicans hate gays and gayness with a passion. It's funny--I've known a lot of evangelical Christian Republicans over the years, and I can't think of one who met that stereotype. I did know one Republican who was a blatant racist, but she was an atheist lesbian, so she didn't really fit the MSM's "Republican" stereotype either.

Given the MSM's compulsion to mention Republicans, evanglicals and sex scandals in just about every article they write, I'm wondering what headlines might we expect from AP on election eve? Keep an eye out for these:

Labor Crunch at "Crippling" Five-Year High
Church May Resort to Hiring "Suspected Homosexuals" to Meet Staffing Needs

Dallas Cowboys Routed by Washington
More Evidence that Evangelicals are "Sitting This One Out?"

"Doogie Howser, M.D." Announces Gayness
Sen. Bill Frist, M.D. Once Claimed to be "a big fan" of Show About Young Man in Adult Situation

Recent Rise in Saudi "Orgies" Noted
Orgy-Mongers Linked to Premises Once Visited by Former Bush Family Business Partners (Who Might Have Been Gay)

Karl Rove Spotted Buying George Michael Album
Evangelicals Express "Appropriate Concern"

Rumsfeld Under Fire
Reports Surface of "Rampant Butt-Piracy" at Pentagon

Evangelicals Disappointed Again
GOP Accepted Contributions from "Known Pornographer"

Dick Cheney's Daughter: "Yes, I'm STILL a lesbian."

So, I'm reading an article about this Haggard fellow...

...which lays out the story in some detail, talks about how Haggard's congregation was handling the sex scandal, etc. All of that made sense, but then the article wraps up with this:

Haggard's situation is a disappointment to Christian conservatives, whom President Bush and other Republicans are courting heavily in the run-up to Tuesday's election.

Many were already disheartened with the president and the Republican-controlled Congress over their failure to deliver big gains on social issues even before the congressional page scandal involving former Rep. Mark Foley.

Haggard, who had been president of the evangelical association since 2003, has participated in conference calls with White House staffers and lobbied Congress last year on Supreme Court nominees.

I can see no rationale for throwing all this extraneous information into an article on the preacher and his gay lover other than to attempt to drive a wedge between Republicans and evangelicals right before election day.

The Foley comment can perhaps be explained by the fact that it was another recent sex scandal. But what do Bush and the Republicans have to do with Haggard? Nothing, as near as I can tell, other than some telephone conversations with GOP staffers on a few occasions, and some lobbying of Congress. What relevance does any of that have to do with evangelicals being "disappointed" with the Republicans?

None that I can see. This was just a very clumsy way to squeeze in another reference to evangelical "disappointment" with Republicans.
