Mitt’s Income vs Your Income

duncanr — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:23:50 +0000

Just to give you an idea of the gap that separates the small number of very rich folk in the USA and the much larger number of americans forced to make do on not very much money at all, “Slate.com” has a nifty wee income calculator where you can find out how long Mitt Romney would need to work to earn as much as you do in a year. Or, alternatively, how long you would need to work, at your current level of pay, before your earnings match what Romney makes in a year

G’Day Mate : Happy Australian Day

I love a sunburnt country
With Chops-n Snags-n Chips
Kangaroos and Holden cars
I love this place to bits
Campin’ on the river
Or Swimmin’ by the sea
“Aussie, Aussie, Aussie”
It’s a wide brown land for me
So c’mon mates and grab a beer
A Rum or Bourbon an’ raise your glasses high
And get . . .someone who Dogs us
And punch them in the eye
Coz I’m a flamin’ Aussie
I’ll take it in me stride
Don’t like it here then ‘Bugger Off’
Cause I have Australian pride

Tea Spices up Sex Life

duncanr — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:12:13 +0000

Sex with your long-term partner not as frequent or as enjoyable as it was when you first got together?

Want to spice up your sex life?

Forget sex toys and contorted positions (you’ll only do yourself an injury)

What you need is . . . a nice cup of tea !

Yup, according to marital therapist Andrew G Marshall, the key to an improved, more enjoyable sex life is a bit of coitus interruptus for a nice cuppa and a chat before getting back in the saddle again

“If you stop in the middle of love-making to have tea and talk to each other, it shows how desire comes and goes – that sex isn’t just a race to the end. It allows you time to be intimate with each other. Sex which used to last 15 minutes suddenly lasts an hour and a half”

American ‘Justice’ is a Joke

duncanr — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:58:01 +0000

Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich

In 2005, 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians were executed by US Marines

The soldiers burst into their homes and, following orders to shoot first ask questions later, they killed the occupants – including women, children, and a disabled man in a wheelchair. Many died from bullets in the head. No weapons were found on the Iraqis or in their houses

The Marines were charged with murder. This was downgraded to manslaughter. And then to ‘dereliction of duty’

7 were acquitted. The marine in charge, Frank Wuterich, has been . . .demoted from sergeant to private, but will serve no time behind bars, nor will his pay be docked

This example of american ‘justice’ has understandably not been well received amongst Iraqis. It seems an Iraqi live is of little value when compared to that of an american. Can you imagine the outrage if the boot had been on the other foot and 24 unarmed american citizens had been murdered by Iraqi soldiers?

Are Rapists Angels?

Rick Santorum is one of the candidates vying for the opportunity to become the next President of the USA

A man of strong religious beliefs (almost a pre-requisite if you are applying for the job) he is fervently against abortion – even if the woman is ‘with child’ as a result of being raped.

His position is that life is sacred – that children are a ‘gift’ from God, and that includes those fathered by a rapist

Which begs the question . . . are rapists actually ‘angels’ doing God’s work?

Are they God’s ‘mailmen’ – delivering his gift of a child to unsuspecting women?

Interestingly, while Santorum is against killing god’s gift when it’s in the womb (anti-abortion stance), he is apparently comfortable killing god’s gift once it is out of the womb (his pro capital punishment stance)

Perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised at God using rapists to present the gift of a child to a woman. After all, they do say he moves in mysterious ways. Equally, it seems his followers, who see no contradiction in being anti-abortion but pro capital punishment, also move in mysterious ways!

Girl Calls Cops Because Mother Having Sex

duncanr — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:46:20 +0000

A precious teen in Florida called the cops at 4am because she could hear her mother and her boyfriend making love in their bedroom next door.

She demanded the police remove her from the house and take her to a Christian shelter because she felt she was being dis-respected

After a bit of chit-chat, the ~~little prick~~ girl decided to stay with her mom after all
