Hasty Ruminations

WJLA, an ABC news affiliate in Washington, DC, has put together a four part series showing women how to do a self breast exam for cancer. The women do the exams on themselves, and they are not wearing a shirt or a bra, which I understand are not to be worn during a self breast examination. So the people watching the video will see how it’s done.

Don’t bother going to WJLA or ABC’s web sites to see the video; they talk about it, but the prudes won’t show it. Neither will You Tube. One You Tube video refers us to a different web site, but that one is just trying to get money and they don’t show it, either.

I think that some ayatollahs and mullahs have taken over our airwaves, and are preventing people from seeing something that can SAVE THEIR LIVES. Tell me this puritanical approach is not Sharia law all over again. One gal said, “They shouldn’t show it; you don’t know how many young children may see it.” What a dunce! Young children who have NOT seen a breast are to be pitied.

When I was growing up, women outnumbered men in the U.S. Now, read this from the 2000 census: “The female population exceeded the male population at older ages, but the reverse was true at younger ages. Women aged 85 and over outnumbered men about 2.5 to 1 (3.0 million compared with 1.2 million). In contrast, the population under 18 consisted of 37.0 million males and 35.1 million females.”

So, the prudes are winning: they are killing off the women by these stupid, stupid policies of protecting us from seeing breasts to learn how to find cancer, while the women die.

Talk about a great performance!

My sister found this 8 minute video. These girls are 4th to 8th graders – 9 to 12 years old. My alma mater, too!

Word is that 210 voting stations had fraud in the recent elections in Afghanistan, and 1.3 million ballots were thrown out.

It instantly brings to mind the city which really set the standard for voter fraud: Chicago.

And I had no idea that Rod Blagojevich was moonlilghting in Afghanistan…

Famous Elk Found Dead Just North of Yellowstone

A sad day, I think.

“CHEYENNE – His name was just a numeral, yet he had legions of human admirers and few rivals among his own species.

“Mighty bull elk No. 6 has died, victim of a freak accident just north of Yellowstone National Park.

“He tripped while trying to cross a fence and somersaulted onto his back. Pinned between large rocks with his antlers beneath him, No. 6 [couldn't breathe]. He was found dead Sunday.

“Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash said No. 6 impressed everyone who saw him. He had a trophy-sized rack and weighed an unusually hefty 725 pounds.

“I certainly understand why he was a favorite of visitors. It’s very impressive watching a big, powerful animal like that,” Nash said Wednesday.

“Each fall, more than 100 cow and bull elk congregate around Yellowstone headquarters at Mammoth Hot Springs to graze and mate. Biggest and baddest of all was No. 6.

“No. 6 was famous for venting his sexual frustration on rival bull elk and cars. He was responsible for many thousands of dollars in damage to tourists’ cars over the years.

Associated Press: “President Barack Obama reaffirmed his campaign pledge to end the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military in a speech Saturday, but offered no timetable or specifics for acting on that promise.”

What he meant to say is “Don’t ask when I’ll end it, and I won’t tell.”

Be wary of crystal ball seers. Two recent examples: Saturn and Palin.

You just KNOW it’s coming back! Hahahahaha!

I was watching an old episode of a TV show, and a reference was made to Francisco Pizarro, and one person said, “Well, if you’re gonna throw the Swiss into it.” That didn’t sound right, so I looked him up on Wikipedia:

OK, so this is a good news – bad news thing.

The good news? I finally got a job. It took only 13 weeks, excessive borrowing from my family, and living in Wal-Mart parking lots in Big Easy, my 5th wheel trailer, for two and a half months.
