It’s every other Sunday in  Old Town Spring, Texas, for women only, and you have to bring a church program to get in.  The women in the class are fully-clothed and pole dance to Christian rock music. 

Gay Caveman?

Kamila Remisova Vesinova and her team of researchers from the Czech Archeological Society believe they have unearthed the remains of an early homosexual man. The remains date from around 2900-2500 B.C., on the outskirts of Prague.

That claim stems from the fact the 5,000-year-old skeleton was buried in a manner reserved for women in the Corded Ware culture: its head was pointed east rather than west, and its remains were surrounded by domestic jugs rather than by hammers, flint knives and weapons that typically accompany male remains.

Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul agree that Obama has Violated the Constitution

On By A.P.In Government, Libya, Violence, WarLeave a comment

It’s hard to imagine two congresspeople at more opposite ends of the spectrum than Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. 

Now, they have both formally stated that Obama’s executive decision illegally violated our Constitution.

O’Reilly’s interview with Dennis Kucinich is interesting in and of itself – O’Reilly standing up in strong support of Obama, and Kucinich taking the opposite stance.

Less serotonin makes male mice less choosy about their sexual preference.

Yan Liu and Yun’ai Jiang at Beijing’s National Institute of Biological Sciences found that when male mice have low levels of serotonin in their brains they lose their normal preference for female mice and try to mate equally with both sexes.  When injected with more serotonin, their preference for females is restored.

Deathbed Confession

On her deathbed dying from breast cancer, Geraldine E. Kelley, 54, told her daughter the grisly tale of how she shot her husband 14 years earlier and stored his body in her freezer, actually shipping it with her when she moved from California to the Boston area.

2 Kids Decided To Become Arms Dealers to the US Military…..

On By A.P.In Human Behavior, Violence, Wealth and PowerLeave a comment

To fight simultaneous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (and now Libya), our government has outsourced a tremendous portion of America’s military operations.

Inexperienced newcomers Packouz and Diveroli picked the perfect moment to get into the arms business. 

“I was going to make millions,” Packouz says. “I didn’t plan on being an arms dealer forever — I was going to use the money to start a music career. I had never even owned a gun. But it was thrilling and fascinating to be in a business that decided the fate of nations. Nobody else our age was dealing weapons on an international level.”

You really just have to read it to believe it:  http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-stoner-arms-dealers-20110316
