News From Around the World…

News from Around the World:

:: Minnesota Man Declares Land a Sovereign Indian Nation and puts a Strip Club on It. Hmmm… well, it’s better than when he offered to sell a third of North Dakota to the Soviet Union back in 1959.

:: Law will Create ‘Playground’ for Children on the Internet They’ve approved the “Dot-Kids Implementation and Efficiency Act”, creating the .kids.us domain. They think it will help protect children from online predators. I think that’s up to parents, not the government. Should we place bets on how fast the predators and the pr0n infiltrate it?

:: A Feminist’s Barbie Conundrums – Barbie reflects our confusion about feminism in some pretty interesting ways.

:: Nuts Can Help Protect Women from Diabetes – considering the history of diabetes in my family, I think I need to start eating five or more servings of nuts or peanut butter a week! Learn more about diabetes at https://neuropathycure.org/nerve-shield-review/

:: Appeals Court Upholds Louisiana’s Sodomy Law – I wonder if the law is still on the books in Texas, and how it would hold up in court. I really don’t think it’s the government’s right to snoop around in our bedrooms, do you?

:: Speaking of Texas, porn showed up in a Ft. Worth businessman’s slide show and he was jailed because of it – somehow, it’s odd that child pornography just showed up in his slideshow. He claimed it was a virus on his computer; interesting, since they found he had e-mailed pictures to others and the virus placed a folder of printed pictures in his desk too. Nice to know he’s a pastor at a Baptist Church too.

:: Birth Control Pill for Men for Sale in 5 Years – well, it’s about friggin’ time!

Chim-Chimney… Chim-Chimney..

Oh my. Now I can’t stop singing the “Chim-Chimney” song from Mary Poppins. Yes, some brilliant Texan thought that he could get in to his locked house if he slid down his chimney. When he ended up wedged in the chimney in the country where most people refuse to take the blame for their own mistakes, what did he do? He blamed Mary Poppins, of course! Damn that Mary Poppins! Practically perfect in every way, my ass! (Uh oh. I think all this work today is making me punchy!) [via Minnesota Gardener]
