OT: Peroxide Perino stomps her feet in writing:
Budgeting is about making difficult choices and setting priorities. Always deciding to spend more and raising taxes isn't a difficult choice, and isn't responsible. We encourage Congress to work quickly to send the remaining appropriations bills one at a time -- as they promised the American people -- and within the reasonable spending limits recommended by the President.
The failure of Congress to carry out its basic responsibility to fund the government cannot be resolved with letters. It can only be resolved by Congress getting its work done, and not wasting dwindling legislative days on political statements and legislation that wil never become law.

OT: Western documentary makers should think twice about making films about Islam because they do not understand the issues as well as their Muslim counterparts, a leading Muslim film-maker has said.
Parvez Sharma, whose documentary about what it means to be gay and Muslim had its European premiere at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival last night, said Western non-Muslim film makers were jumping on the "Islamic bandwagon".
Sharma added: "Post 11 September, [Islam] is suddenly very hot", and he cited the "plane-loads" of documentary makers who flew from New York to Afghanistan after the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
"For many documentary film-makers there's very little understanding of the complexities. Everyone has been jumping on the Islamic bandwagon. Very few of those films do justice [to Islam]. They suffer from a lack of comprehension. There's this need to cash in on the Islamic theme."
Sharma, whose documentary, A Jihad For Love includes emotional interviews with gay Muslims from around the world, torn between their homosexuality and their faith, said there was a "paucity" of Muslim film-makers and called on Islamic documentary producers to make their own voices heard to combat Islamaphobia. His Jihad, filmed over six years, reveals the often shocking treatment meted out to homosexuals in Islamic states such as Iran, where one of the men featured was flogged for attending a gay party, and in Egypt, where another interviewee was thrown into prison, where he was raped, then fled to France.

This quote is from John at Americablog, "Just add it to the litany of issues - from privacy to Osama - that the Dems have repeatedly dropped the ball on.
I swear, the Democrats deserve every single bit of pain they get. They're absolutely useless. Heads need to roll in this party, bad. The current crop of members, leaders, and consultants have no idea, nor desire, to fight back. They deserve to lose. A serious, serious bloodletting is needed in our party. Now."

When it comes to debating RWAs you don't fight lies with the truth. You fight it with derision. Just laugh in their faces, say something like you poor stupid tool and walk. Drives them nuts. The implication that you know something they don't and you don't care what they have to say hurts. But debating these people when they lie or repeat lies is pointless.
Neponset | 11.10.07 - 4:27 pm | #
There are two tactics, one of which will always work:
1. Neponset's derision. I find telling them that the Iranian Secret Service really enjoys working with wingers, drives them nuts. You can ask when they want to sent Ollie North back to Iran with more cakes and stingers.
2. Ask them to try to separate their personal, obsessive, interest in glorifying tough sweaty men with guns and uniforms, from their political discussion. This can reduce them to sputtering rapidly, but one should be aware of the potential for violence. "Obviously, you are attracted to these policies because you are sexually turned on by men in uniform, but as a policy, it makes no sense."

Jonathan Aitken, the disgraced former Tory cabinet minister who was jailed for perjury, will be rehabilitated into the political frontline when he takes charge of a task force on prison reform that will help formulate Conservative policy.
In one of the most spectacular comebacks in recent British political history, which meets with the approval of senior members of the shadow cabinet, Aitken is to chair a high-powered group of criminal justice experts that will examine the crisis in Britain's prisons.

Bet he writes an article for Playboy about it.
Ever since he first entered Parliament Lembit has been banging on about the threat posed to the planet by near-earth objects, an obsession that may well have something to do with the fact that his grandfather was an astronomer and even has an asteroid 2099 Opik named in his honour. Lembit got very excited when it was repported that the near-Earth object 2002 NT7 might well be on a collision course and strike the planet on the 1st February 2019. "I have said for years that the chances of this asteroid having an impact which could wipe out most of the human race is 100%" he informed a reporter before admitting that actually near-Earth object 2002 NT7 would miss the Earth by a good 600,000 miles or so.
He has however faced accusations that he has a tendency to sensationalise the issue and is believed to have an arrangement with the journalist Nigel Nelson of the Sunday tabloid The People, by which they regularly collaborate on an asteroid-threat story every month or so, which no doubt helps Lembit raise his public profile. Neverthless his tireless campaigning was partially responsible for the government's decision, announced on the 4th January 2000, to establish a Task Force on Near-Earth Objects to assess the threat posed by orbiting rocks. It was presumably a disappointment to him that the Task force recommended that the proposed Near Earth Objects Information Centre be established at the National Space Science Centre in Leicester rather than the Spaceguard UK facility which is conveniently (and entirely coincidentally) located near the town of Knighton in his own constituency.

Brazilian energy ministers have announced the second largest discovery of new oil reserves in the past 20 years in a find that could transform the country into one of the world's largest producers.
The Brazilian government said tests on the Tupi oilfield, in the Atlantic Ocean 160 miles off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, showed it could eventually produce up to 8 billion barrels of light oil and natural gas, increasing the country's reserves by more than 60 per cent. That would make Brazil the world's eighth biggest oil producer, ahead of Nigeria and not far behind its Latin American neighbour Venezuela.
The find, the largest new oil discovery since the 12-billion barrel Kashagan field found in Kazakhstan in 2000, also enabled BG, the British gas group, to defy the falling stock market yesterday. BG, which posted a 1.6 per cent share price rise to 1,005p, has a 25 per cent stake in the Tupi venture, which is 65 per cent owned by Petrobras, the Brazilian oil giant. The final 10 per cent of the operation is held by Galp, a Portuguese exploration company.

Do you need one from Arcosanti? Some neighbors of mine have them and I could easily dispatch them for you.

Hundreds of protesters staged a noisy demonstration outside Downing Street, calling for the restoration of democracy in Pakistan.
Led by Jemima Khan, the ex-wife of Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, the demonstrators chanted slogans and waved banners, calling Pakistani president General Pervez Musharraf a "butcher" and a "terrorist".
Pakistani lawyers, students and journalists turned out for the protest, which was organised by a disparate group of political parties and human rights groups.
Hina Jilani, a Supreme Court lawyer, said: "We want to show everyone inside Downing Street that every section of Pakistani society is now opposed to Musharraf.

The bell is actually a Christmas tree ornament, but it is a beautiful cobalt blue with gold decoration (abtract of the Holy Family) -- of course she would like it since it was a gift from me no matter what.
BTW -- the turnout for the Priors Workshop was very low this year & we are discussing whether or not to try to keep it going it -- we are sending out questionnnaires to all those who did not attend & asking what we can do to attract more participants -- changing the time of year, etc., etc. -- it gets too expensive to keep going if we fly in name speakers & only have ten or so of the 40 priors show up to share the cost!

Norman Mailer:
...“Democracy, more than any other political system, depends on a modicum of honesty. Ultimately, it is much at the mercy of a leader who has never been embarrassed by himself,” Mailer, who as a young Harvard graduate had served in the South Pacific during World War II, wrote of Bush at the close of a brilliant piece for The New York Review of Books.
~~~“What is to be said of a man who spent two years in the Air Force of the National Guard (as a way of not having to go to Vietnam) and proceeded–like many another spoiled and wealthy father’s son–not to bother to show up for duty in his second year of service? Most of us have episodes in our youth that can cause us shame on reflection. It is a mark of maturation that we do not try to profit from our early lacks and vices but do our best to learn from them. Bush proceeded, however, to turn his declaration of the Iraqi campaign’s end into a mighty fashion show. He chose–this overnight clone of Honest Abe–to arrive on the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln on an S-3B Viking jet that came in with a dramatic tail-hook landing. The carrier was easily within helicopter range of San Diego but G.W. would not have been able to show himself in flight regalia, and so would not have been able to demonstrate how well he wore the uniform he had not honored. Jack Kennedy, a war hero, was always in civvies while he was commander in chief. So was General Eisenhower. George W. Bush, who might, if he had been entirely on his own, have made a world-class male model (since he never takes an awkward photograph), proceeded to tote the flight helmet and sport the flight suit. There he was for the photo-op looking like one more great guy among the great guys. Let us hope that our democracy will survive these nonstop foulings of the nest.”
The UK must be careful how it tackles terrorism and treats Islamic culture if it is to avoid recreating a society reminiscent of Nazi Germany, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain has warned.
Muhammad Abdul Bari, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, criticised the Government for fuelling tensions in the Muslim community rather than dissipating them.
He told the paper: "There is a disproportionate amount of discussion surrounding us. The air is thick with suspicion and unease. It is not good for the Muslim community, it is not good for society."
The Muslim leader continued: "Every society has to be really careful so that situation does not lead us to a time when people's minds can be poisoned as they were in the 1930s.
"If your community is perceived in a very negative manner and poll after poll says that we are alienated then Muslims begin to feel very vulnerable.
"We are seen as creating problems, not as bringing anything, and that is not good for society."

The CodePink women at the DC CodePink house have been doing a v. good job of keeping the pressure on DiFi. Course, she's a Repuke in all but name who ignores it.
The pressure on Sir Ian Blair has intensified after it emerged that Scotland Yard was probing allegations that millions of pounds in "expenses" had gone missing.
The Met's professional standards watchdog has launched a review of spending on American Express cards issued to staff.
According to the News of the World, up to £6 million is unaccounted for and anti-corruption officers are preparing to interview hundreds of detectives.
There are claims that cash has been lavished on luxury watches, flatscreen TVs and holidays.
A spokesman for the Yard confirmed that two of the force's detectives had been arrested last month on suspicion of theft in connection to the probe.

Mailer, NYTRB, 2003
.
...It was a political bonanza for Bush provided he could deliver an appropriate sense of revenge to the millions-or is it the tens of millions?-who identified directly with those incinerated in the Twin Towers. When Osama bin Laden failed to be captured by the posses we sent to Afghanistan, Bush was thrust back to ongoing domestic problems that did not give any immediate suggestion that they could prove solution-friendly. The economy was sinking, the market was down, and some classic bastions of American faith (corporate integrity, the FBI, and the Catholic Church-to cite but three) had each suffered a separate and grievous loss of face. Increasing joblessness was undermining national morale. Since our administration was conceivably not ready to tackle any one of the serious problems looming before them that did not involve enriching the top, it was natural for the administration to feel an impulse to move into larger ventures, thrusts into the empyrean-war! We could say we went to war because we very much needed a successful war as a species of psychic rejuvenation. Any major excuse would do-nuclear threat, terrorist nests, weapons of mass destruction-we could always make the final claim that we were liberating the Iraqis. Who could argue with that? One could not. One could only ask: What will the cost be to our democracy?
Be it said that the administration knew something a good many of us did not-it knew that we had a very good, perhaps even an extraordinarily good, if essentially untested, group of armed forces, a skilled, disciplined, well-motivated military, career-focused and run by a field-rank and general staff who were intelligent, articulate, and considerably less corrupt than any other power cohort in America.
In such a pass, how could the White House fail to use them? They would prove quintessential morale-builders to a core element of American life-those tens of millions of Americans who had been spiritually wounded by 9/11. They could also serve an even larger group, which had once been near to 50 percent of the population, and remained key to the President’s political footing. This group had taken a real beating. As a matter of collective ego, the good average white American male had had very little to nourish his morale since the job market had gone bad, nothing, in fact, unless he happened to be a member of the armed forces. There, it was certainly different. The armed forces had become the paradigmatic equal of a great young athlete looking to test his true size. Could it be that there was a bozo out in the boondocks who was made to order, and his name was Iraq? Iraq had a tough rep, but not much was left to him inside. A dream opponent. A desert war is designed for an air force whose state-of-the-art is comparable in perfection to a top-flight fashion model on a runway. Yes, we would liberate the Iraqis....

Gordon Brown is planning a radical scheme to subsidise farmers in Afghanistan to persuade them to stop producing heroin, as part of a wide-ranging drive to re-energise policy in the conflict the prime minister now regards as the front line in the fight against terrorism.
The Foreign Office minister Lord Malloch-Brown has admitted that the rise in opium production in the country means Britain "cannot just muddle along in the middle" and must come up with more imaginative ideas on opium eradication.
Ministers are looking at what Lord Malloch-Brown describes as a system of payments loosely along the lines of the common agricultural policy to woo the Afghan farmers off opium production. The government is conducting joint research on suitable economic incentives with the World Bank.

I went yesterday to a gathering of Lutheran deaconesses, to honor one who was retiring.

Hey, I told that joke here about a year ago.
Why are they bothering to cut down of the Afghani poppy production? There is such a backlog that it will make no difference & if it did it would only increase the price & therefore the violent crime involved in getting the money to buy heroin (benefitting the mob in both cases) - US drug policy is insane!

The suitcase nukes that the administration has been using to scare the bejebus out of everyone. Well, they turn out not to be such a big worry after all.
"The suitcase nuke is an exciting topic that really lends itself to movies," said Vahid Majidi, the assistant director of the FBI's Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate. "No one has been able to truly identify the existence of these devices."
The Archbishop of Canterbury is facing renewed pressure to postpone the 2008 Lambeth conference of the world's Anglican bishops because of the unresolved row over gay clergy. This week nine primates, including Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria, demanded its delay until all bishops could meet "in a spirit of true collegiality and unity in the faith".
In a letter they said: "What is at stake is the very nature of Anglicanism - not just about sexuality but also about the nature of Christ, the truth of the Gospel and the authority of the Bible. We reject the religion of accommodation and cultural conformity that offers neither transforming power nor eternal hope."

The outburst came after Mr Chavez called former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a "fascist".
Mr Chavez then interrupted Spanish PM Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's calls for him to be more diplomatic, prompting the king's outburst.
Latin American, Portuguese, Spanish and Andorran leaders were meeting in Chile.

Tajikistan's Communist Party has asked the authorities for permission to preserve the capital's last remaining statue of Lenin.
The communists want to move the statue to their party headquarters when the park in which it stands is redesigned.
It will be replaced by a statue of the ninth-century Tajik poet, Rudaki.
The BBC's Tajik section says the authorities hope to promote nationalism but that the move could prompt debate about ownership of old communist items.
Dushanbe's last remaining statue of Lenin has been standing in the central park since 1926 when it was brought from the Russian city of St Petersburg.

They really embodied Benedictine hospitality -- they were wonderful. And they have a lovely little bookstore & cafe on the corner by their big ol' monumental church, too. Some more Benedictines (Catholic ones this time) run the Kloster Helfta outside Halle -- now that's a four-star guest house if ever I saw one. They brew their own beer, and darn fine beer it is, too.

Seven human rights groups including Amnesty International have urged Iran to set aside a prison sentence for women's rights activist Delaram Ali.
She has been ordered to begin her sentence of two-and-a-half years in prison and a flogging on Saturday.
Ms Ali, 24, joined a protest last year calling for greater legal rights for Iranian women.
Dozens of journalists and activists have been detained or jailed recently, accused of acting against the state.
Police broke up the demonstration Ms Ali was part of last year which called for greater rights for women in Iran's Islamic legal system.
Ms Ali says the security forces broke her left hand when they beat up the demonstrators.

Same thing happened with Lieberman/Lamont, except for the fact that Lieberman thought rape victims should have to take a taxi to the nearest hospital that would treat their needs.
He is "pro-choice" though. Fuckers. Lieberman, Wynn, and NARAL.

There have been clashes in Prague between neo-Nazis and protesters trying to block their right-wing march.
More than 1,000 people rallied in the Czech capital's old Jewish quarter to try to stop the march by members of the Young Nationalist Democrats (MND).
The march was planned for the anniversary of the 1938 anti-Jewish purge known as Kristallnacht.
Police managed keep most of the 400 right-wing marchers and the anti-Nazi demonstrators separate.
But there were scuffles in side streets near the Jewish quarter and at least one person was injured, witnesses said. Police arrested several of the right-wing marchers.

Seriously, dispersing enough highly radioactive material to poison a large number of people with a conventional explosive is not an easy thing to do, even in a place as crowded as Manhattan.
When they led their campaign for equal pay in the 1970s, campaigners predicted that the glass ceiling that had hung over women would soon be smashed. More than 30 years on, a deluge of statistics has proved how premature those hopes were.
Equality activists have reacted with horror to a string of reports released this week which revealed the extent of Britain's gender pay gap, showing that women's salaries languish way behind their male counterparts – and that female workers suffer from endemic prejudice as soon as they start their careers.
The research showed that the salary split begins at graduate level, with three times as many male as female graduates earning top salaries within three years of leaving universities.
A report from the Higher Education Statistics Agency showed that 3 per cent of men would earn £50,000 or more within three years of graduating, compared with 1 per cent of women. On average, female graduates would also earn £1,000 less than their male peers in that time.

Moi, aussi. Abortion allows women to compete on a somewhat more equal playing field at work and in academia. It allows women to space their chidren, plan their families, be better mothers. It helps to control an already-way-too-high population. Abortion is a good thing.

MPs are to be given a free vote on lowering the time limit for abortions.
As The Daily Telegraph disclosed on Friday, a cross-party group is planning to table amendments to the Human Tissues and Embryos Bill when it reaches the Commons next year, proposing lowering the time limit from 24 to 20 weeks.
Government sources have now confirmed that Labour whips would follow the tradition of treating abortion as a "conscience issue" and allow a free vote on amendments proposing changes to abortion laws.

A major insurer has started varying the pension it pays depending on where you live.
Legal & General says it will now pay higher pensions to people who live in areas where life expectancy is short.
But it denies it will cut pensions paid in areas where people can expect a longer life.
In future, the insurer says it may pay pensions relating to other factors such as obesity and lifestyle.

I find it hard to get behind the idea that surgical abortion is a good thing. If for no other reason, because it is a highly unpleasant procedure to undergo. I'd prefer to say that abortion is sometimes a necessary thing. If we had a reasonable commitment to providing access to family planning services to women in this country, it would almost never even be that. Between RU486 and the morning after pill, almost every surgical abortion should be preventable.

Oh, sure. Even the pill,and not the morning after variety either, is abortion in their worldview, since it prevents implantation of an already-fertilized egg. If you include everything that falls under the winger definition, then I suppose I'd say abortion is a good thing too.

Echidne,
Olvlzl is a great guest blogger, almost worthy of you.
In case I haven't mentioned it.
Please let me make clear that I never said that nobody should get a surgical abortion. I just don't think it's any more a good thing to get one than it is a good thing to get a root canal. Both are unpleasant procedures that are done to avoid even worse things happening.
Well, they were asking for it.
Feminists a better rate than GEICO.
The one good thing is that my mom and I became good friends before she died. Going on 20 years, but I still miss her.
But the family dynamics set up with me being the first unwanted kid still echo in the and are much of the reason most of them don't speak to me anymore - not a huge loss, actually.
If I woman isn't in a position where she can handle kids, she shouldn't have them, plain and simple.
If society really wants those kids, they'd set up support systems for the moms, especially where the decision to abort is made for financial reasons. But TPTB forbid that fundies should actually spend their money to support people uncritically, instead of trying to control their intimate decisions.
Molly Ivors, he is an absolute sweeting. I like the idea of a Maine farmer doing it. And thanks for your kind words.

I repaet, I am not one tiny bit arguing that access to surgical abortions should ever be restricted in any way.

Obviously there are some cases where those interventions would not work.

Disney ride founders under weight of obese passengers
By Andrew Gumbel in Los Angeles
Published: 10 November 2007
For 43 years, the happy smiley people at Disneyland have been telling us it's a small world after all. But now, finally, reality has set in.
In January, Southern California's signature theme park will be closing its most famous ride – the one where visitors pile into flat-bottomed boats and go on a shiny plastic water tour of Planet Earth to the strains of that supremely irritating song. The ride has to undergo some renovation.
The reason? Disneyland's visitors have been getting not smaller but bigger, wider and fatter, and the boats on the "It's a Small World" ride have developed an annoying habit of running aground under all the extra weight.
The company itself denies that obesity has anything to do with it: it says the renovation is necessary because a series of fibreglass patches on the bottom of the waterway have created obstacles that need to be cleared.
But visitors, former employees and self-appointed Disney watchers all attest to the frequent occasions on which the boats on "It's a Small World" back up because a vessel carrying more pounds per square inch than anyone could have reasonably envisaged back in 1964 has ground to a halt.
how is your lovely crystal bowl from Arthur?
And how does Arthur feel about chipotle lime roast chicken?
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
Oh it is LOVELY! A little Waterford tulip bowl - a little bit too little, but otherwise, adorable. Such a good boy, my Arthur. I finished off the pickled onions this afternoon, and tomorrow intend to move on to a nice pepper and onion relish pickle to use up the rest of the vinaigre mixture - so that's good too. Either that or we're preserving pomegranate cranberry relish.
But as it happens, we have a nice bit of lemon chicken in the oven right this minute!

.RU486 isn't going to help them. What they are supposed to take a dose every night?
trifecta
No, only when they discover they are pregnant. RU-486 works late enough in gestation that you can take it for several weeks after you miss a period and get a positive urine test. If it were available free of charge to any woman who requested it at any pharmacy, it could be used in essentially all such cases. But see, you didn't know that. If our society were less stupid, everybody would know that.
D'ough!

A lot more has to be done than simply making contraception free and available. Males of all ages have to get it through their heads that they don't have a right to female bodies.

From last year...
Humans and Neanderthals interbred
http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/node/814
SYDNEY: Modern humans contain a little bit of Neanderthal, according to a new theory, because the two interbred and became one species.
The theory is the latest addition to the ongoing debate about what happened to this early species of human.
In a paper published this week in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of European researchers report a "mosaic of modern human and archaic Neanderthal features" in 30,000 -year-old human fossils from Romania.
Co-author Erik Trinkaus from Washington University explains: "[Some] closely related species of mammals freely interbreed, produce fertile viable offspring, and blend populations." This is what appears to have happened with Neanderthals and modern humans, he says.
"Its bizzzniss timmme..."
(Weeps.)
If feminists killed off Neanderthals,
Could we break down some inter-species walls
And maybe clone some women of that clime
From DNA and bring them to our time?
Perhaps they'll show us methods never inked
And made a few Republicans extinct.

Blerb, there's nothing inherently evil about surgical abortion. It's actually fairly low risk compared to many procedures.
And when you're dealing with very young girls, they may not even realize they're pregnant until it's way, way too late to contemplate anything else.
Wow. Rudy really IS an assface.

Also from last year, but with a difference conclusion
Scientists decode Neanderthal genes
Material from 38,000-year-old bone fragment being analyzed
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15732243/
No evidence of interbreeding
In popular imagination, Neanderthals are often portrayed as prehistoric brutes who became outsmarted by a more advanced species, humans, emerging from Africa. But excavations and anatomical studies have shown that Neanderthals used tools, wore jewelry, buried their dead, cared for their sick, and possibly sang or even spoke in much the same way that we do. Even more humbling, perhaps, their brains were slightly larger than ours.
The results from the new studies confirm the Neanderthal's humanity, and show that their genomes and ours are more than 99.5 percent identical, differing by only about 3 million bases.
"This is a drop in the bucket if you consider that the human genome is 3 billion bases," said Edward Rubin of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who led one of the research teams.
For comparison, the genomes of chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, differ from humans by about 30 million to 50 million base pairs.
The findings also appear to argue against speculations by some scientists that Neanderthals and humans interbred in more recent times. "We see no evidence of mixing 30,000 to 40,000 years ago in Europe," Rubin said. "We don't exclude it, but from the data that we have, we have no evidence that pages were ripped from one genome and put in the other."
I have no problem with that either. But permanent sterilization is not an appealing option to many people, especially the ones who are most likely to find themselves dealing with or responsible for an unwanted pregnancy. How many men are going to get a vasectomy at 19?
why not make vasectomies more affordable and add insensitives to get men to go for them?
Thanks, but no thanks....my wife thinks I'm insensitive enough.
Blerb, I wouldn't advocate for 19 year old males to have vasectomies.
Those that are older and are certain they don't want more kids, sure.
any kind of incentive. i had mine when i was 36, and wish i had done it at 12 yrso.
That picture is why Rudy can't win.
Too uglee.
Also from last year, but with a difference conclusion
Yes. But the conclusions that get the most attention are about feminism killing the Neanderthals. Just wait.
I hate the speculations without evidence, but that's what makes it fun for so many. Like we can all be scientists without bothering to read all those dusty books.
any kind of incentive.

No 18 years of child support payments and wage garnishments for men who adamantly don't want to be "daddy" seems like a pretty good deal to me.

The Russians are doing this in reverse. If you get pregnant you can be in a big lottery with prizes such as refrigerators and cars.
If feminism killed the neanderthals, why are there still republicans?

I'm not trying to shirk the male responsibility in the matter of unwanted pregnancies either. Obviously, more action in that quarter would also reduce the number of cases where surgical abortion is the endpoint.
What is your hangup with surgicial abortions? It's a safe medical procedure. There is nothing morally or ethically wrong with it. Demonizing abortions seems to me to show a willingness to demonize women's bodies. Men are willing to ejaculate a bunch of cells into a vagina and then get all up on two legs and make odd hooting noises when women say they want to have some unwanted set of cells ejaculated out of their bodies.

Actually had a vasectomy in 1985. The incentive was that my wife was pregnant with our third child in less than three years. I felt it was my responsibility to take care of it. I did not want her to use the pill for health reasons. Later, when we decided we wanted another child, we chose to adopt.
But permanent sterilization is not an appealing option to many people
Vasectomies can be reversed.

What comes to mind is that story a few weeks back about some idiot speculating that the human race was going to diverge into two species, one pretty, one ugly.
How the fuck can you know that?
There is a reversable vasectomy in the works that doesn't involve all that scary cutting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IVD
The intra vas device, analogous to the intrauterine device (IUD) for women, is meant to be a reversible alternative to a vasectomy. The device consists of a set of flexible, hollow silicone plugs, each about a millimetre in diameter and 2.5 cm long. The IVDs are inserted into the vas deferens and block the flow of sperm from the testes to the seminal glands.
Doesn't sounds too bad. I'd be up for one of them if I had any need for it.
Even my wingnut brother had a vasectomy after two kids.

Geesh, I make odd hooting noises all the time...

The too many kids thing decides it pretty quickly.
currently the book I'm reading is titled Bitches, Bimbos and Virgins: Women in the Horror Film by Gary J Svehla and Susan Svehla
To give my six brothers credit, several of them have had vasectomies. Being part of a family of 10 kids shows you the benefits of family planning.
I really do think that if the Pill had come along a few years earlier, there would've been a few less of us, the Pope bedamned.

Seems to me the man's choices are pretty damn simple. 1) use condoms faithfully or 2) have a vasectomy and 3) choose a romantic partner among the tens of millions of women in America who are at a place in their lives where they don't want to get pregnant and have a baby.

Why don't you try reading what I actually wrote before you make a comment like that? I don't have any kind of hangup about surgical abortions. My own wife has had one, with my whole-hearted concurrence in the matter. I'm demonizing them? Where the hell did you get that from? Sure, it's a relatively safe surgical procedure, but it still sucks to have to get one. herefore, it would be good to make a real effort as a society to increase the availability of other, less unpleasant options, like free RU-486 or maybe for some of us castrating all the males at birth. That. Is. All. I. Am. Saying. Sheesh!

I've winterized my house here in the San Fernando Valley -- the air conditioner is turned off and the sliding door to the patio is open.
Well, the baby of my family (God rest her soul) gave birth to the niece that is currently living with me, so that is good. Great kid, and doesn't seem to mind sleeping on my couch too much.
Though calling her a kid is probably patronizing (she's 22), but at 52 it does seem young.
It's the farting in bed that kills it for her.
I generally avoid that. Kayla, on the other hand...
Anti-arms campaigners have won a judicial review of last year's decision by the Serious Fraud Office to end its investigations into the defence company BAE's contracts with Saudi Arabia.
The judgment will be hugely embarrassing to the Government, which opposed the review and has consistently backed the SFO's decision to drop the case.
Yesterday two High Court judges granted an application from the Campaign Against the Arms Trade and Corner House for the right to mount a full challenge to the SFO, which in December last year dropped an inquiry into allegations that BAE had made secret payments to Saudi officials in order to secure a series of massive contracts.

Shoppers eager to buy goods on sale stampeded at a Carrefour supermarket in southwestern China on Saturday, trampling three people to death and injuring at least 31, state media reported.
Shoppers slipped as they rushed through a door at the Carrefour in Chongqing city at 8:30 a.m. to snap up sale items, and those that fell were then crushed by other shoppers, the Web sites of the Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily reported.
The People's Daily said the shoppers had lined up outside the store since 4 a.m. to buy discounted rapeseed oil used for cooking.

All I've heard is the warning to use condoms while on antibiotics.
Sallyh-So antibiotics can also possibly interfere with menstrual cycles? If so I would love to know if there is comparative research. Antibiotics on cows and chickens could inhibit fertilization. And antibiotics that get out into the wild could disrupt seasonal breeding cycles.

Salah al-Din, Nov 10, (VOI) – Twenty-three gunmen were killed in violent clashes between warring armed factions east and south of the city of Samarra, an official security source in Salah al-Din province said on Saturday.
"Gunmen from the Islamic Army Organization attacked positions of the al-Qaeda Organization in Iraq in the villages of Banat al-Hassan, al-Mutasem and al-Jalam, south and east of Samarra, on Friday evening and Saturday morning," the source told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI) on condition of anonymity.
"According to information available so far, 18 gunmen of al-Qaeda were killed and 16 others arrested by fighters of the Islamic Army Organization," the source said.

Now the vasectomy itself..that was another story....we were recommended a doctor by my wifes midwife as she was preparing to deliver our third. I went in for a consult to discover that the doctor was a woman. That's OK I thought (She had chosen this calling because she felt theat men should shoulder some of the responsibility and she had performed more than 10,000 vasectomies.) Good very experienced. As I sat in her office I noticed some odd collages of photos on her office walls of people that appeared naked.
Flash forward to the day of the outpatient procedure. Her assistant was a very Gay male. Again, no problem I'm liberal and tolerant. They asked if I wanted to watch and I said no. Throughout the surgery they made little jokes about slipping etc.
My recovery was difficult. I had extreme bleeding and swelling (they were the size of grapefruit). It took weeks to fully recover. When comparing notes with friends and aquaintences, mine seemed far worse than anyone elses experience.
Flash forward six months....my wife calls me at work and says that I will never guess who is on Oprah. Needless to say I can't and she chimes in that it is the doctor who performed my vasectomy. (Makes sense, talking about birth control no doubt.)
"No" she says, "the topic is about radical feminist lesbian nudist lifestyles."
To this day I think the two of them had been beating on my manhood. I only recommend her to people I don't like.

Another story re my niece (not my only niece, but the one I'm closest to) -- her boyfriend was taking steroids for a blood disorder, and my sister said they assumed it had affected his fertility. Of course, she also said they only had sex once, not totally impossible when you come from a family of 10 kids, but unlikely.
