Phi Kappa Alpha Fraternity Adds New Line to Eddie Murphy song

~ Pharmer

They’re REALLY bored at the University of Tennessee. Here’s the latest addition to the compendium of gross medical stories.

Police: Student Suffers Alcohol Poisoning After Frat Hands Out Alcoholic ENEMAS « CBS Atlanta.

That classic Eddie Murphy song has been inspiring trips to hospital emergency rooms since 1982.

Don’t put TeQUILA in the butt
That’s Southern DIS-Comfort in your butt

Phi Kappa Alpha is one sicko Boy’s Club, and it might be booted from University of Tennesee, Knoxville, for sending a student to the ER with alcohol poisoning via the rectal route.

Testosterone is a POISON?

~ Pharmer

Scientists in Korea claim to have data indicating that the lifespan of Eunuchs was significantly longer than un-altered males in times past. They found unusually numerous reports of centenarians existing among the castrated men centuries ago. They could not attribute the longevity to the rarified existence among the royals of Korea, since the kings and their family members did not share this benefit of long life.

The scientists suggested that testosterone might be the culprit that shortens men’s lives. It’s a POISON! 😉

The comments appended to this speculative article, at the Daily Mail are worth the click!

Bugs R Us: Birth Control Pills Associated with Increased Staph aureus Colonization

Hormonal contraceptive use and persistent Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage.

In the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases comes a study out of Germany, which finds higher incidence of Staph Aureus colonization in users of birth control pills.
Specifically, Gurls on the pill are 1.88 times more likely to have a positive nasal swab for Staph aureus, than females not taking the pill. The nose is where these bugz like to hide out. It’s warm and wet in there.
Those big sweaty guys are 1.57 times more likely then the demure and natural girls, not taking BC pills, to carry Staph in the nares.

The infectious disease docs think that this extra pool of staph carriers, associated with widespread use of the birth control pills, might significantly increase the reservoir of these bacteria in human populations, and the transmission of these pathogens to vulnerable individuals.

Our probes are pointing towards Sandra Fluke and the bulk users of BC pills at the steamy Georgetown University School of Law. Would they allow sampling from their nasal gardens of bacterial delights?

Birth Controlling the High School Herds in New York City

EXCLUSIVE: New York City high schools giving students morning-after pills and other birth control, without telling parents – NYPOST.com.

The Department of Education has expanded their “CATCH” Program (which involves giving birth control pills, Plan B and Depo-Provera to girls without parental consent) to 13 New York high schools. Parents can opt out of the program by FINDING a piece of paperwork allowing them to opt out, and signing it. The so-called information telling parents of this form has resulted in only a 1-2 percent response.

Prescriptions for the drugs are supplied by Health Department physicians. This can be obtained by seeing a school nurse, and taking a pregnancy test.
From the NY Post:
“We can’t give out a Tylenol without a doctor’ s order,” said a school staffer. “Why should we give out hormonal preparations with far more serious possible side effects, such as blood clots and hypertension?”

Last year, New York City boasted a 64% abortion rate among 7000 girls under 17 who got pregnant.
Watch and see if this program of giving out pills at high schools has any effect on the statistics.

Pharmer wonders who is the brainiac behind this new “CATCH-bugs” program, which is likely to boost the incidence of STDs in the area, now that girls will have less incentive to abstain or use barriers.

The following schools are listed by the NY Post as participating in the program to pass out birth control hormones to kids without parental consent. Adlai Stevenson and Grace Dodge in The Bronx; Boys and Girls, Clara Barton, W.H. Maxwell Career and Technical Education, Abraham Lincoln and Paul Robeson in Brooklyn; John Adams, Newcomers, Queens Vocational and Technical, and Voyagers in Queens; High School of Fasion Industries in Chelesa, and Port Richmond on Staten Island.
Seward Park Campus in lower Manhattan was dropped from the program because the school medical office couldn’t keep up with the business.

Bambi Hates Obama – destroys yard sign

A discerning deer has been on rampage against an Obama sign in the front yard of Tom and Beth Priem. He’s been caught in the act and photos are available on the Blaze, if you click below.

It appears that deer might, in general, understand that their suburban pickings will become scarcer if the Dems win again. The cattle Down on the Pharm seem to have analogous perceptions. Both species, which are plentiful here, have left the conservative signage untouched during the Indiana primaries, and during past November elections. The same can’t be said for the small trees and landscaping.

Appellate Court Upholds Decision Protecting Pharmacists of Concience in Illinois

~ Pharmer

Court: Illinois Can't Force Pharmacists to Sell Plan B Drug | LifeNews.com.

The 2005 Blagojevich edict forcing pharmacists to dispense the morning after pill and all other birth control drugs without question or delay, suffered a second defeat, this time in appellate court. In 2011 the trial court had found that the law was invalid because it targeted a specific group, and that Illinois law prohibits discrimination in licensing those who cannot provide a particular service due to religious beliefs.
This lawsuit, which passed its second review, was the one involving pharmacy owners, Luke VanderBleek and Glenn Kosirog. Another lawsuit, which ended in favor of conscientious objectors, involved employee pharmacists in the same state.
The Appellate court opinion is available HERE.
VanderBleek and Kosirog have been represented since 2005 by attorneys of the ACLJ and the Becket Fund.

Planned Parenthood Forced to Settle Suit, Failed to Report Child Rape | LifeNews.com

Planned Parenthood Forced to Settle Suit, Failed to Report Child Rape | LifeNews.com.

After seven long years, Denice Fairbanks has won a settlement from Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio. Her suit against the abortion provider included charges of covering up rape, and sexual abuse of a minor, and failure to report these things to authorities as the law demands. Ms. Fairbanks had been abused by her father from age 13, was impregnated, and was taken to Planned Parenthood for an abortion at age 16. Though she told the staff that she was being forced to have sex, she was offered no assistance and the abuse was not reported to authorities. She was returned to her father, and the abuse continued until a H.S. instructor was told, and reported the crimes.

Life Legal Defense Foundation and attorney Brian Hurley represented Fairbanks in the suit against Planned Parenthood. As expected, the size of the award is not announced, but Pharmer hopes it is H U G E.
