News the Media Loses: Maddow Fan Shuts Down 300 FL Schools

Maddow Fan Pleads Guilty to Threats Which Led to School Lockdowns – Big Journalism.

Yup…. it was to prove a point.

Rachel Maddow, enflamed by the right wing support of  second amendment rights, had played  an edited clip of a radio talk show host Joyce Kaufman on her show.

Rachel’s own  fan, Ellisa Martinez caught  the Madcow  fire and decided to send a letter threatening  a shooting at a Broward county school.  She called Kaufman’s show saying her husband was on the rampage and would be visiting a local school with his guns.

Ellisa Martinez has been corralled in her home state of California,  and will be jailed for 1-5 years for the threats.

The media would like to remain silent so as to pretend that the threats were generated by talk radio, rather than the  hate speech of Rachel “Madcow”.

Remember the obstetricians revolting against the crazy malpractice lawsuits and refusing to treat lawyers or their spouses?

Remember when the wrongful life lawsuits drove obstetricians in  France to refuse prenatal ultrasonography?

Report: Doctors Refusing to Treat Overweight Patients | CNSnews.com.

This new trend has a different basis, but  is completely EXPECTED.   The Obstetricians are now turning away overweight patients, citing a lack of equipment to take care of the very huge, and the high risks involved in the care, particularly in managing child birth.

Expect  MORE of the larger ladies  to be denied  prenatal care, and come into the emergency room, with neglected diabetes and other complications, ready to deliver.

On the Pill? Your Partner Might Not be Smelling the Real You

The Tricky Chemistry of Attraction – WSJ.com.

WSJ presents a body of research suggesting that the use of hormonal birth control has affected mate selection in both directions.  Two main factors are possibly  altered.  The natural propensity to select (by smell) more genetically and immunologically different partners is  attenuated by the pill.   Animal studies indicate that signals of female genetic health are possibly attenuated  (and not picked up by males)  in those taking long term progestin birth control.

Females on the pill tend to select more metrosexual men as partners, then tend to feel attractions to OTHER men when they go off the pill and ovulate.    Those not on the pill tend to choose more masculine men as partners, and are less inclined to show an attraction to other men while ovulating.

Bottom line………from data thus far, the use of hormonal contraception  is possibly wussifying humanity, and producing a sort of devolution to a species less genetically diverse and immunologically resilient, by altering the natural chemical bases of attraction.

 

Newt Gingrich Sticks With His Prior Health Insurance Mandate

~ Pharmer

Gingrich Knocks GOP Proposal for Medicare – WSJ.com.

It’s one thing that Gingrich and the Dems seem to  have in common: the idea that people  should be forced to purchase health care insurance.

Some people can afford to be ‘self insured’, and some would agree to take the risk and accept that no one cover them if they have a turn of bad luck.   Others are covered in private, voluntary groups in which people agree to pay for each others illnesses.

What in the U.S. Constitution allows the federal government to force us to purchase something?   Maybe Newt  (the washed up one) can tell us where to find this.

Strauss-Khan, head of International Monetary Fund, Arrested for Rape

Top French politician, International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn charged with attempted rape – NYPOST.com.

Apparently the 62 year old Dominique Strauss-Khan could not control himself.  He is said to have jumped a house keeper in his Manhattan hotel room, and performed an illegal sex act on her.  She has since  been treated  at Roosevelt  Hospital for trauma, and Strauss Kahn was pulled from his flight at the JFK  Airport and arrested.

French President, Nicholas  Sarkozy has one less rival  facing him in the next election cycle.    Expect the Socialist party of France to blame Sarkozy for this scandal in New York,  and call it part of a smear campaign.

Update: The hotel housekeeper picked Strauss-Khan out of a lineup, and more details HERE
