Distilling the Tar From Two Cartons of Cigarettes

I smoke. I know it’s bad. I’ve seen many scare tactic advertisements, experiments, watched my grandfather die of emphysema, etc. But I’ve never seen someone distill the tar from two cartons of cigarettes. Nasty! Makes me want to quick, but the addictive nature of cigarettes keeps me smoking, for now.

Most Parents of Today Suck

There are unlimited amounts of proof of poor parenting, this just happens to be one of those pieces that says parents of today suck. The new Book “Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like a Skank” makes some think of beauty pageants for toddlers and Jean Benet Ramsey.

Among pint-sized cheerleaders, itty-bitty beauty queens, and in the malls of America, the sassy-sexy look isn’t just for teens anymore.

Some say younger girls are going shorter and barer — taking their cues from characters like the Cheetah Girls, the Pussycat Dolls and the Bratz dolls — and some observers are saying they’ve had enough.

Celia Rivenbark, a mom who hit her breaking point with the shrinking fashions, wrote a book called, “Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like a Skank.”

“The moms are buying it, the dads are buying and maybe on some level the parents think, ‘Oh that’s cute, that’s harmless, that’s innocent’ — but I don’t think it is,” Rivenbank said. “The children are wearing them down.”

And psychologist Dr. Jeff Gardere warns that how a child dresses as young as age three can have serious consequences.

“You can be doing real damage to your child,” Gardere said. “They are forming their taste at a very young age. They can hurt their futures. They can hurt their reputations, their chances for success.”

You Must Say What We Want

I know there are tons of examples of censorship, but for some reason it’s bugging me today.

The bible thumpers are crying again, this time about Kathy Griffin’s remarks after winning an Emmy. Yea I know, I feel dirty for making a post about Kathy Griffin too.

a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus.

The moral of the story? You cannot say what you wish. You must say what these fucking kooks want you to say. Freedom of Speech is a sham.
