AFA Stings KMart-Sears

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Sears admits they were wrong; finally pulls website materials.

Sears has pretty much gone down the tubes after KMart bought them out in 2004.

The American Family Association  has been hounding  Sears during a nine month period  for selling pornographic materials on its website.   This stuff was also being made freely available to kids, with no form of age check before purchase.

After a hailstorm of complaints from customers spurred on by the AFA,  Sears has relented and is pulling the stuff  from its website.

 

Daily Mail – the National Geographic of News on Bin Laden

~ Pharmer

Daily Mail provides the random, close up, slices of life at the Bin Laden Mansion.

Kids are said to have been  renumerated, rather than allowed to go in the compound to retrieve a lost soccer ball or whatever other sports equipment might have been lost on the other side of the 7 foot wall around the compound.

One 12 year old claimed  that he was given a pair of rabbits as a present by the Bin Laden family.

These  juicy tidbits (and why is it news?) were met with a good deal of amusement by Pharmer et al.

“Another youngster, named Daniel Alvi, revealed that he regularly saw a man in a red Suzuki van drive into the compound with a live goat, while the milkman only delivered outside the security gate and never rang the doorbell.”

Pharmer had always wondered why Osama looked like such a STONER .

 

stoner

 

CNN reporter Nic Robertson reported that Osama was growing POT inside his compound.

Maybe that’s the answer…. 😉

Money Talks .. Notre Dame Drops Charges against Pro-life Protesters

~ Pharmer

Charges dropped against anti-abortion Notre Dame commencement protesters – WSBT-TV.

It was a significant problem in the funding department for Notre Dame to be criminally prosecuting pro-life protesters who objected to the Pro-Abortion Extremist, Obama being honored at Notre Dame and giving a commencement speech.

It seems that efforts such as the one to Replace Jenkins have had their effect on funding for the university.

The Dangers of Bath Salts – to Goats!

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Ever heard of Khat? A natural product for dopers, it contains cathinone, a whacky drug, of the chemical name: S-2-amino-phenyl-l-propanone. People who are accustomed to looking at these drug names see stimulant, upper, speed-like, written all over this one, and it elicits effects similar to ephedrine and amphetamines.

There are always more designer drugs being produced, to the extent that the law can’t keep pace regulating the doper chemists. The name Bath Salts is used to describe a class of drugs containing cathinone and analogs thereof, for example:
3,4 – Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV)
4 – Methylmethcathinone (Mephedrone, 4-MMC)
3,4 – Methylenedioxymethcathinone (Methylone, MDMC)
4 – Fluoromethcathinone (Flephedrone, 4-FMC)
3 – Fluoromethcathinone (3-FMC)
4 – Methoxymethcathinone (Methedrone, bk-PMMA, PMMC)
among others…

Any combination of these analogs could send the user into a wild state of agitation, perhaps with hallucinations, and even lust for goats!
Such is the sad end for a cute little pygmy goat in South Charleston, West Virginia, who was attacked by one Mark Thompson, killed and possibly sexually assaulted, (given the presence of porn, and the partially unclothed state of the attacker).

Thompson, now of international notoriety, is bound for a life of ill treatment in prison after this escapade, which is said to be fueled by a three day jag on “bath salts”.

Don’t do bath salts.

Aravan, Hindu God of the Sexually Ambiguous

~ Pharmer ~ 3 Comments

Joy and pain as transgender Indians ‘wed’ Hindu god.

There’s a yearly ceremony to comfort those who are born sexually ambiguous or are transgendered, in India.

According to Hindu mythology, Aravan was expected to die in battle, and asked the god Krishna for one night with a woman.   Apparently none were found who wanted to be a widow the next day, so Krishna changed to a woman and got the job done.  This has resulted in a concept of Aravan as the patron of  the sexually ambiguous.

Yearly ceremonies marrying these people for one night to Aravan provide comfort for those who have had a rough life as a result of their condition.

There’s  apparently something to be found  for everyone in the Hindu Pantheon.

 

He’s Soooo Complex

Osama Bin Laden dead: Obama took 16 hours to make up his mind | Mail Online.

The situation was presented to Obama on Thursday, but he said that he wanted to “sleep on it”.

The decision was delivered on Friday morning,  April 30.

Then it took an extra day of waiting through the weather to get it done.

The story as to whether Pakistan was involved, or unaware of the mission continues to change back and forth.

Politico notes that the stories as to whether a wife of Osama was used as a shield and whether she was killed have changed in the white house account.

The story as to whether or not Osama was armed and returning fire has also changed.

The new nature of news by hearsay, from people with attention deficit disorder, will ensure  continuing flux.
