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!
