Early in life there are Little Girls.
And there are Little Boys

Later on the Little Girls grow UP
And the Little Boys grow BIGGER

You now know everything that you need to know about Men.
Men,of course,have never learned to know any thing about Women.
Does anyone agree with me?

Just watch your Boss, or your Boyfriend and imagine all his actions as those of a little boy.
You won't go far wrong!!

If they were really concerned they would not be multi-millionaires they would live modestly and use the rest to further social causes instead of confiscating the dollars of the middle class.

Winter Soldier Syndrome
It only be cured when the costs of slandering the troops outweigh the benefits.

By Michelle Malkin


The tale of Army Private Scott Thomas Beauchamp, the discredited “Baghdad Diarist” for the discredited New Republic magazine, is an old tale: Self-aggrandizing soldier recounts war atrocities. Media outlets disseminate soldier’s tales uncritically. Military folks smell a rat and poke holes in tales too good (or rather, bad) to be true. Soldier’s ideological sponsors blame the messengers for exposing anti-war fraud.

Beauchamp belongs in the same ward as John F. Kerry, the original infectious agent of the toxic American disease known as Winter Soldier Syndrome. The ward is filling up.

U.S. military investigators concluded this week that Beauchamp concocted allegations of troop misconduct in a series of essays for The New Republic. “The investigation is complete and the allegations from PVT Beauchamp are false,” Major Steven Lamb, a spokesman for Multi National Division-Baghdad, told USA Today. The New Republic is standing by Beauchamp’s work. But Michael Goldfarb, online editor and blogger at The Weekly Standard who first challenged Beauchamp’s writing, reported Monday that Beauchamp had “signed a sworn statement admitting that all three articles he published in The New Republic were exaggerations and falsehoods — fabrications containing only ‘a smidgen of truth,’ in the words of our source.”

To illustrate the soul-deadening impact of war, Beauchamp had described sitting in a mess hall in Iraq mocking a female civilian contractor whose face had “melted” after an IED explosion. “I love chicks that have been intimate — with IEDs,” Pvt. Beauchamp claimed he said out loud in her earshot. “It really turns me on — melted skin, missing limbs, plastic noses.” Beauchamp recounted vividly: “My friend was practically falling out of his chair laughing. The disfigured woman slammed her cup down and ran out of the chow hall.”

It wasn’t true. After active-duty troops, veterans, embedded journalists, and bloggers raised pointed questions about the veracity of the anecdote, Beauchamp confessed to The New Republic’s meticulous fact-checkers that the mocking had taken place in Kuwait — before he had set foot in Iraq to experience the soul-deadening impact of war.

Military officials in Kuwait tried to verify the incident and called it an “urban legend or myth.” Beauchamp’s essays are filled with similarly spun tales. How much of a bull-slinger was Beauchamp, an aspiring creative writer who crowed on his personal blog that he would “return to America an author” after serving (which he told friends and family would “add a legitimacy to EVERYTHING I do afterwards”)? The very first line of his essay “Shock Troops,” which opened with the melted-face mockery, was this: “I saw her nearly every time I went to dinner in the chow hall at my base in Iraq.”

“Nearly every time.” At “my base in Iraq.” Complete and utter bull.

Defenders of The New Republic, a left-leaning magazine infamously duped by another young and ambitious fabulist, Stephen Glass, say the Beauchamp saga has been 1) blown out of proportion; 2) perpetuated by sloppy, rumor-mongering bloggers; 3) used as a distraction from the troubles in Iraq; and 4) exploited by “chickenhawks” who deny that war atrocities happen.

But the truth is, you won’t find a single Bush Kool-Aid drinker among the military bloggers, embedded independent journalists, and active-duty troops who prominently questioned the Beauchamp sham. They know it ain’t all going swimmingly overseas. But unlike Pvt. Beauchamp, they’re committed to telling the whole truth about the war, not just approximations and embellishments that will score easy magazine gigs and future book deals with elite New York City publishers. The doubters of Scott Thomas know atrocities when they see them. But, unlike the TNR editors, they know steaming bull dung when they smell it.

Ever since John Kerry sat in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and accused American soldiers of wantonly razing villages “in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan,” the Left has embraced a small cadre of self-loathing soldiers and soldier wannabes willing to sell their deadened souls for the anti-war cause. Think Jimmy Massey, the unhinged Marine who falsely accused his unit of engaging in mass genocide against Iraqis. Think Jesse MacBeth and Micah Wright, anti-war Army Rangers who weren’t Army Rangers.

Winter Soldier Syndrome will only be cured when the costs of slandering the troops outweigh the benefits. Exposing Scott Thomas Beauchamp and his brethren matters because the truth matters. The honor of the military matters. The credibility of the media matters. Think it doesn’t make a difference? Imagine where Sen. John Kerry would be now if the Internet had been around in 1971.

About 4 or 5 years ago, I saw an advert at the cinema. A cheesey american mom calls her two kids in from playing outside to drink some fruit juice. Smiling, they drink their juice. The cartoon, sunshine logo on the bottle comes to like and starts dancing on the kitchen table. Suddenly, the mom and two kids scream as they are terrified at the fact taht a cartoon picture has come to life. They run away from it as it chases them through the house not understanding why they are so scared of it.

It is without doubt the funniest thing I have ever seen, but I can't remember what it was advertising and therfore can't find it. Does anyone know?

Ok well my friends are all going off to college this year. And I was out sick for a few years, so I decided to do an extra year at a prep school. And they're all saying I'm stupid for doing that and I should have just gotten a ged. And they never congratulated me on getting into a school or anything.. they make me feel like I dumb for not going to college this year. Am I just being to sensitive? Because I mean they're not saying it in a mean way, just sort of backhanded like.. we'll have to go hang out before I go to COLLEGE.

The Monsters in the Back Room
Sittin there singing their own tune
Discussing politcs in a special way
important issues attepting to sway
all those problems we see all day

But most of all They don't know
and after I Don't care
Yet once in for all I just say no
so don't fall now
Just welcome the crow

Those Dreams you had all flew away
only to come back to a better day
if the fields could talk we'd hear them say
Build me an arc to preserve our way

Dodging class to play in the rain
but Shooting stars were never filled the pain
Subdividing atoms up in space
simply confiding in the the winner of the race

The Dove is such a poetic creature
but can anyone ever truely reach her
speaking out for social morality
and justice for all or is that just insanity

Feed your drivel to the dogs
can't tell what's right or wrong
Incredible accounts of vivid distortion
or are you just trying to get a reaction

Toys for purposeful wrath of destruction

I know that marriage custody says you can not leave the state with out the fathers permission, but do the same rules apply if you were never married? BTW yes his name is on the childs Birth Certificate!
