Another Reason Why Obama Is Not Worthy Of The White House
2008-07-14 17:39:00
So enforcement of US immigration laws is terrorism to Mr. Obama? Oh my. Such an audacious display of shameless pandering could be admirable, as far as practical politics go, if it didn’t betray the utter cluelessness of the man. Ed Morrissey from Hot Air asks a very pertinent question that the Obamessiah ...
Another Reason To Stand Tall on FISA
2008-07-03 16:02:00
Last November (as noted here) a federal appeals court ruled that a branch of the al-Haramain Islamic charity in Oregon could not use a call log that it had accidentally received from the Treasury Department as evidence in a lawsuit that it had been illegally wiretapped by our government (al-Haramain had been officially designated as a terrorist organization with links to al Qaeda). The ?state secrets? privilege was used as a Bushco defense at the time.Even though this ruling basically torpedoed the case of the charity against our government, al-Haramain challenged the so-called ?state secrets? privilege, and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals asked U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker to determine the technical question of whether the state secrets privilege conflicts with FISA (noted here).Well today, we have our answer (here)?WASHINGTON ? A federal judge in California said Wednesday that the wiretapping law established by Congress was the ?exclusive? means for the president to ea...
I've Got Reason Why I Tease and Boys Just Come and Go Like Seasons
2008-06-30 06:08:00
"... You've gotta have a brain, its just really important. You have to know what to say, and have something interesting to say. Guys do not find idiots and ditzy girls atrractive, because, well their not. You have to have a purpose in life, you gotta be driven.So while sex appeal is largely based on looks, while it is unfair measuring stick, while it is what guys think about constantly, I say embrace it. Flaunt those curves as you shimmy across the room, wear that dress that shows off your cleavage, legs, and bsilky smooth back. Don't hide what was given to you to expose. Its the tools that gives us the upper hand over guys. They be stronger or get paid more....but we know how to get them to use that money and strength on us, and its called a little peek of skin.This first thing that crosssed my screen was this post by fabulously classic. It reminds me of Madam Bovary, and a case that was filed in French court against the auhor. I dont agree with this. Do you? {GAZM.org)

Reason Is A Religion?
2008-06-24 12:51:00
…with none of the defining characteristics of a religion. It is because Vox Day says so in Chapter 4, entitled “The Religion of Reason.” Aside from the humorous comparison between an atheist politician and a “toothless, illiterate, homosexual Afro-Hispanic crack whore with a peg-leg,” his opening salvo misses the point when he adds in the footnote that “it appears that telling people how evil and stupid they are may not be the best way of convincing them….” (p. 61) The reason that atheists are distrusted and, in some cases, despised is not because of intellectual elitism and snobbery—it’s because atheism has been caricatured and stigmatized as a pseudo-Satanic cult in most popular media. It is still not socially acceptable to be as open with one’s non-belief as those who believe are. Walking or driving around with merchandise that announces one’s lack of superstitious belief still draws glares or snide remarks...

The Real Reason You Overeat, And How It Affects Your Weight Loss Strategy
2008-06-05 11:33:00
Reason, singular, as in: one? Ha! I eat because:- I love food- I?m always hungry- It?s just who I am- It?s a habit- I can?t seem to help it- I have self-esteem issues- I am a carb addict- I have no willpower- I love chips (or cookies, or?.)- I?m not even aware that I do it- It?s just something I do while watching TV- It?s too hard to give up the foods I like- Besides, I?ll just gain it back anyway- So I may as well comfort myselfHow can we boil down a complex issue to one reason?Yes, it is complex, which is why a diet is rarely the answer. Not for people who have a real food problem.In my experience, we eat for the same reason that all mammal babies eat: because we are hungry of course, and, because we want to be reassured. We want to be made to feel like everything is going to be OK. And we want that at both a conscious and sub-conscious level.How does it relate to loving chips, or not being able to stop at one cookie?

Lack of quality the reason for more broken bats?
2008-06-03 13:09:00
With a rash of shattered maple bats stirring safety concerns within baseball, the most prominent manufacturer said today that the problem might rest more with how the bats are made than with the wood. "I see a lack of quality," said Sam Holman, inventor of the "Sam Bat" popularized by Barry Bonds. The broken-bat crisis spurred owners and players to set a June 24 safety committee meeting. Among reforms expected to be discussed are a ban of maple bats, thickening the handles of all bats to make them less prone to breakage and extending protective netting to keep bat fragments from spinning into the stands. Holman said he has not been invited to the meeting but would welcome the chance to discuss the issue with baseball officials. Major League Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney said he expected the committee to consult with bat manufacturers before making recommendations.In April, a jagged piece of a broken bat slammed into the cheek of Pittsburgh Pirates hitting coach Don Long. Later tha...

One More Reason To Bet Against Financial Firms
2008-06-02 22:06:00
If you follow the markets at all you are probably familiar with the current debate over the financial firms, like Lehman Brothers and others. The two camps line up roughly like this: the bulls say that all the bad news is behind us, The Fed has pretty much guaranteed that they will bail out a bank rather than let it fail and they still have ways to make money. The bears say that the financials are full of shit, that you can't believe anything they say when it comes to their finacial positions and that any single one of them is liable to go out of business overnight, or at least fall 90% before someone steps in to try and save them.I think you know where I sit; firmly in the camp of the bears. Why? Because when I read articles like this I just know, for sure, that there are losses being hidden and we are nowhere near the end of the credit crisis.From the story:Merrill Lynch & Co., Citigroup Inc. and four other U.S. financial companies have used an accounting rule adopted last year t...

Want A Reason To Leave Work Early? Here?s One.

I have met very few people who actually enjoy going back to work on Mondays. Truth be told, when I have, I ignore them or point and scream. I am definitely one of the Monday haters. Sometimes though, all the moons line up just right and you get a Monday that is actually a holiday. Now granted it?s not one of those fancy schmancy Mondays where you don?t have to go to work like Memorial Day or Labor Day or whenever Fred Willard?s birthday falls on a Monday, but it?s close.Why is it close? Well, Monday is ?Leave Work Early Day.? As soon as I learned of this blessed day, I knew immediately that I needed to blog about it.

Lane Splitting 101 - A Reason to Envy Californians
2008-05-29 16:01:00
The Breakin' the Law crew have been sprung from jail and are at it once again: The latest installment -- Lane Splitting 101 -- carries on the quest to bring you the finest in immoral, unlawful (in most states) and idiotic motorcycle entertainment.   As always children, don't try this at home (even if you do live in California) or at least don't do it because you saw it here. We have good lawyers and we'll chain whip you if you sue us because you got hurt doing something stupid. It wasn't our fault, you were an abused child or something. Basically, the voices in your head aren't ours. What follows is a work of fiction, and all visual representations were rendered using our really big, air-cooled SGI computer that makes a scary humming noise like the ones they used to make dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park".

If You know the reason

Q : why had the Egyptian government renewed the activation of the Emergency laws for another two years ?? A: Because the future terrorism law does not include any protection to the regime for the strikes, it does not recognize strikes as an act from terrorism banned by law where as under emergency laws it can be banned by the orders of the President "Despite the fact it will be illegal " Q : what is the significance of the two years period ?? A: After two years ,we will be in 2010 , the end of president's Mubarak presidential period ,where it is expected than he will not renew and will abdicate and his son Gamal will take over It seems that the strikes are now the new threat facing the Mubarak regime scaring them after the success of the 6th April strike "this is a success, this fear". Now on a daily basis in Egypt there are strikes across the nation mainly in the factories and there are protests some where in front of something. The culture of Strikes ...

Reason to rejoice for Indian Bloggers

The great news is ... that there is now another blogging platform where you can get a blog for free and even put up Google Adsense on your blog. Yes, I can hear you; blogger already has this and places to get free blogs are launched a dozen a day, but there are a few crucial differences between having a blog with ?????.blogspot.com & ?????.blog.co.in: The site has a co.in domain. So, if you blog about stuff that is relevant to India or Indians, the chances of you getting more targeted readers increases greatly because of this. (Also blog.co.in is an easy suffix to remember)More importantly, blog.co.in uses the most popular open-source blogging software; WordPress Multi-User edition. Don't get me wrong, I love blogger myself (on which this blog is hosted) because of its ease of use, but the trouble with blogger is that there are severe limitations as compared to other platforms such as Wordpress or Typepad.Having said that, installing and running a blog/website on your own domai...

Reason #152 Why I?m Gay: Dead Or Alive
2008-05-21 22:06:00
One would think that it was “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)”. On, no. The video that I was mesmerized by was the second single “Love Come Back To Me”. Maybe it’s the Eyptian theme or the movie theater motif or Pete Burns lying on his stomach with his legs in the air. No clue. However, this was the video that made me think, “Hmmm, Pete Burns might be *gasp* GAY!”. Lover Come Back To Me Pete always claimed he was straight and was indeed married to the same woman for over 25 years, but in 2006 he and his boyfriend, Michael Simpson, announced their engagement. I’ve no idea what took so long, but if I had ever seen the video for “I’ll Save You All My Kisses” when it came out, I would have called you a liar for proclaiming Burns as heterosexual. This video was actually banned from MTV due to its overtly gay overtones. Noooo! Really? I never saw it because I was in the Navy and they didn’t send us things like this....
