Circumcision changes penis biology
Yuck:
To measure these changes, the researchers enlisted 156 uncircumcised, married men in Uganda and obtained swabs from under each manÂ’s foreskin. Roughly half of the men were then randomly assigned to get circumcised. A year later, researchers again took swabs.
Which would be worse: getting the circumcision, or acquiring 2x156 penis swabs? Discuss.

speaking of cthulhu, I am reading a collection of HP Lovecraft stories, "Necronomican" I like the stories individually but they become tedious when read one right after another. If I have to see the word "eldritch" one more time, I mean come on, there's like a bazillion synonyms, couldn't somebody have spotted him a thesaraus?

So what is this obsession with the penises of African men? If scientists aren't teaching them how to wash their junk after sex they're swabbing under their foreskins and then shoving them off to get circumsized.

Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a next generation user interface which can accurately detect the users finger and what it is touching, creating an interactive touchscreen-like system, using objects in the real word.
"We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn't use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology."

"The cost has gone from $143 million a few years ago to $2.2 billion today," Republican Louisiana Sen. David Vitter said, noting that today's cost is 15 times what it was. The cost of the program increased dramatically after cellphones were added in 2008. Only low-income people on welfare and food stamps legally qualify, but some lawmakers say the program is out of control.
This is the problem we face. Whatever the merits of the original program, it is now just a phone giveaway. Cell phones are useful and fun certainly, but by any stretch this is the kind of thing you are supposed to get when you have a job and pay your own bills.
But now we have a clientele for this program that will fight hard for it. And with ~100M taxpayers, it is 'only' costing us $20 each. Are we going to push as hard to save $20 as the Obamaphonics will fight to save there $200+/year? Probably not.

Goddamned Obama and his constant giveaway bullshit.
What? What's that you say?
Cell phones were added in 2008 and Obama didn't take office till 2009?
Why yes. Yes, you're right. The guy who was in charge when this bullshit free cell phone business got going was that utterly worthless sack of shit George W. Bush, the "compassionate conservative".
Meanwhile, there was a Politico piece this week saying about GWB in post-Presidential retirement, "'You have no idea how relieved he is to be out of the game,' one of his oldest friends said. 'He doesnÂ’t miss politics even a little.'"
You have no idea how relieved I am to have Bush out of the game. I don't miss him even a little.
His endless disastrous fuckups ruined the GOP brand and paved the way for the ascent of Obama. But, hey, family tradition. GWB was just building on his father's work of trashing the Reagan legacy. Bushes delenda est.

I'd cook 2-3 egg omelettes full of bacon and cheese, and wonder why the "pretty girls" wouldn't eat them. My somewhat fat ass knows why now, 30 years later.

I got him a job in a field which is related to his old field - peripherally. anyway, he is working for me now. I sent him a file with a bunch of stuff he needs to know for his job - took him a week to open the file. After he opened the file it took him a week to get started on the contents. week after he got "started" he had done about five hours of work. we usually work one weekend day because we are busy on some new stuff - he has missed every weekend day because it is "family day." we had our monday morning meeting today and he asked me if I needed any help with anything - I assume he means besides the work he should have handed off two weeks ago.
I am starting worry he is broken.

Yuck:
To measure these changes, the researchers enlisted 156 uncircumcised, married men in Uganda and obtained swabs from under each manÂ’s foreskin. Roughly half of the men were then randomly assigned to get circumcised. A year later, researchers again took swabs.
Which would be worse: getting the circumcision, or acquiring 2x156 penis swabs? Discuss.

Pretty obvious the elder Tsarnaev was an at least occasional pot dealer. Probably also having pulled some cash from his nitwit white liberal wife's family (her dad is an MD).
As for the Mercedes, take a look at the immigrant friends at UMass of the younger Tsarnaev, one of whom drives a shiny spiffy late model BMW. Seems from what I've read that they were leasing it but not making the lease payments. A lot of that about in the Obamaconomy.

In the real wold most people would rather sit at home watching TV, or whatever, instead of doing work.
So you have this laughable situation where the economy keeps having to be project down as more and more people get corrupted by the ease of the easy life in the socialist system.
Eventually though the powers that be figure out that while socialism is a great system, they unfortunately have inherited the most slothful, pathetic subjects imaginable, so they have to turn to force, and therein exhibits the socialism that we see in the Soviet Union...
I saw a Democrat pol recently opining that we should let unemployment insurance last indefinitely. He wasn't a complete fool though and added that if you were unemployed for some period of time the government would force you to take a job that they would find/create for you. Exactly how this forcing would work wasn't clear. Would they cut you off? What if you showed up as work...and slacked off?
Still, I would have loved to see the Rs give this commentary a wider audience, because this reflects the reality we face.
The choice isn't between conservative "austerity" and liberal...uh...whatever the hell liberals think they are doing. The choice is between doing something about the graft that underlies the whole system now, when it will be easier, or later, when it will be harder.
Do you want to have to go get a real job now, or have the government put you in one with some kind of criminal punishment in the offing if you don't do it well?

Linked an article on Facebook on how Evil Makes Liberals Stupid, which is a Powerline article critiquing how various liberals have reacted with "integrative complexity" to the Boston bombings.
A reliably liberal Canadian attacked the article as a strawman, then shifted to a personal attack, "gee, why don't you care to understand why the bombing happened?", and when pressed further, threw out the Crusades.
I find it confusing as he is surrendering the argument in a way that would make me ashamed, but I guess I lack the complexity to be a "liberal".

from My Pet Jawa. FBI did not so anything about shitbag number 2 visiting Chechen terrorists six (6) times because the State department WILL NOT classify Chechen Islamic extremists as terrorists. Read it and weep
But if the FBI was notified late last year that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had visited a known extremist mosque in Dagestan and then the FBI did nothing? Didn't investigate. Let him off the hook because he had been cleared the year before?
Well, somebody definitely needs to be fired then.
People are dead. And why?
Was it laziness? He'd been cleared and therefore no need to re-investigate him. Earth to whoever: people change. And not always for the better.
Or was it an insidious PC that the FBI didn't want to offend the sensibilities of Muslims? Our government wouldn't want to appear to be "Islamophobic" now, would it?
Or maybe we have the State Department to blame here? To this day, the State Department refuses to designate the Islamic Emirate of the Caucuses, it's emirs, and it's related branches as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
And we're not just talking about Obama's State Department, this goes back to the Bush years too.
This despite clear acts of terror by the group and clear ties to al Qaeda.
So, assume the Russians report that Tamerlan Tsarnaev is meeting with terrorists. But the terrorists aren't considered terrorists by the State Department. Would an FBI agent have to pass on investigating further since there was "no relationships with terrorists"?
Simply because the cowards in State refuse to designate a group as "terrorists" doesn't make them any less so. And if federal agents are constrained from doing their jobs because of this, then whoever continues to make the decision to keep the Chechen jihadis off the terror list has blood on their hands.
I know that's a lot of ifs, but isn't it about time to designate the Islamist jihadis fighting in Russia terrorists?

I just watched a clip of The McLaughlin Group where McLaughlin suggested Michael Bloomberg as a good choice for the 2016 GOP Presidential nomination, saying he had done a fabulous job balancing New York's budget. Pat Buchanan basically said that there was no way in hell the Republicans would vote for a left wing nanny statist and JM dismissed his point out of hand. He said the "Coca-Cola" thing wasn't a big deal.

(AP) SYDNEY--Chrissy Amphlett, the raunchy lead singer of the Australian rock band Divinyls whose hit "I Touch Myself" brought her international fame in the early 1990s, died at her home in New York City on Sunday. She was 53 years old.
"Christine Joy Amphlett succumbed to the effects of breast cancer and multiple sclerosis, diseases she vigorously fought with exceptional bravery and dignity," her musician husband Charley Drayton said in a statement.
RIP Chrissy.

If these people are so hard working and capitalistic, why do their countries of origin suck so horribly?
Hard working I get. Peasants work their asses off everywhere. But why do we need peasants here? Part of what this country was founded around was doing away with the concept of peasantry, for a man to no longer be bound to a lord and land.
Illegal alien labor disrupts the feedback system that lets us know when we need to increase or decrease our rate of admission of new immigrants. Instead, illegal labor provides a substitute for slavery, providing an underclass that can be exploited. Actually, illegal alien laborers can be worse off than slaves. Slaves were a capital investment. Costly and not disposable. You had to feed and maintain them.
Illegals are entirely disposable. Juan takes ill and doesn't show up for work? Just get another Juan. Got a task to be done that is a bit dangerous and maybe illegal itself? Just get some illegals. If one of them gets killed it isn't like they can go to the police to report you, especially if you transport them to and from the place you found them in a windowless van. They're disposal!

Another reason to not have government welfare systems. A private charity is free to ignore people it determines are simply unwilling to work for their keep. At least in a rational nation where lawyers fear the results if they hassle a group of private citizens for playing favorites.

When I was a landlord, the minority status of some prospective renter wasn't a good predictor of their future skellishness.
A Section 8 was almost always a disaster though. You'd never get the 20% they were supposed to kick in, so you'd wind up jacking the rent accordingly so the voucher amount was inflated enough to make up the loss. Invariably the Section 8's caused huge damage to the property too.
If I were building new Section 8 housing, there'd be no normal frame/drywall walls - I go with that 5/8" high abuse drywall they use in schools. Some asshole wants to punch or body slam that stuff? they're gonna break bones. No carpets - they won't maintain them, and will sneak in animals that'll piss on them and wreck'em. Cheap linoleum and peel/sticks. Paint the subfloor with poly before putting the linoleum down to seal it against animal piss.
Receptacles/switches -- all commercial grade. They'd destroy the residential crap in a year or two. Put in more receptacles and circuits than code minimums to keep them from having to run extension cords. They'll overload shit otherwise and they'll be wearing out breakers from resetting them 50 times a day.
I will never be a landlord again.

Section 8 construction would be like a penitentiary. Cinder block walls or just cement slabs. If they want to body slam that it'll just be hosed off and rented to someone else.
Section 8 housing should say in no uncertain terms: You do not want to live here. If you have no better choice than here it is time to get your life in order.
