Gingrich Wives by Flow Chart

~ Pharmer

Pharmer would post them here, but Kevin DuJan’s  Blog,  is worth a visit for its uniqueness and spicy flavor.

The creator of HillBuzz  is Hillary Supporter turned  fairly conservative, who has a snippy, gossipy style of delivering a well deserved trashing of the media and the Obama administration.   Pharmer has  points of agreement with Kevin, and plenty of differences.  For example, we agree on not-Romney, but he prefers Gingrich.   His blog style is entertaining, and dishes up some information and viewpoints which are not readily available elsewhere,  so the visits there are pretty frequent.

The media misinformation concerning the wives of Newt Gingrich is dispensed with diagrammatically and efficiently in two segments.   Number one gives  background on the wives.  Number Two gives the timeline +opinion of Marianne.  <— Click em.      Something is RIGHT about Kevin DuJan!

**update: sorry to say those flow charts are gone from THIS ARTICLE at Hillbuzz. Pharmer is checking with Kevin DuJan to see if he wants to tack them back up, because they’re worth it.

Utah School Board Says Cougar Mascot Too Offensive To Women « CBS Las Vegas.

The Corner Canyon High School  (Draper, Utah)  students preferred their school mascot to be the COUGAR.  But Principal Mary Bailey nixed the idea,  as did the school board.

Bailey found the cougar to be too disrespectful to….. middle aged women.  😉  due to it’s popular connotation.

Perhaps  school administrators are also sensitized due to newsworthy  incidents of female teachers chasing after the high school boys.  Hmmmmmm?

 

Prison Life Might Have Prepared Inmate for This

~ Pharmer

North Carolina cops are convinced that 22 year old fugitive  Michael Leon Ward might have smuggled a 38 caliber  revolver into his prison cell.   He was thoroughly strip searched, however,  at the time of admission to the county jail, leaving them with one theory concerning the transport. 

That haunting Eddy Murphy song comes to mind.   Yes…… the police  think he was packing heat  rectally.   The 10 inch revolver was found in the toilet of the inmate’s cell.

It was test fired by some lucky official, and found to be operational.

Mr. Ward is said to have been taken to the hospital for injuries to his internal gun holster.

Stupid Lawsuit of the Year for 2011

Dead Accident Victim to Be Sued For Flying Body Parts – Court allows woman to sue estate of Chicago teen killed by train.

It would take a Windy City  appellate  judge to make this decision.  A dead Chicago teen, Hiroyuki Joho, is being sued for injuries caused by his flying body parts.

He was running across train tracks trying to catch a Metra  train, and was hit by an Amtrak train going 70 mph.  A good sized flying chunk of his body hit a 58 year old woman, Gayane Zokhrabov, standing on a train platform and she sued for injury damages.

What largess is  this woman is expecting from the estate of an 18 year old???  Perhaps she was hoping that the boy’s mother would win her suit against the railroads, but both the first decision and the appeal were lost.

 

Rural Hazards: Airborne Deer.

Elderly driver, 70, killed in car crash after severed deer head flies through her windscreen | Mail Online.

A drive down highway 830 near Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania resulted in tragedy for one 70 year old lady.

Bambi got hit by one car  and flew through the air, hitting car number two, which sliced it up.  Pieces of that deer  broke through the windshield of car number two, which then rocketed off the roadway, out of control.  That driver, Rosemary Bower, is no longer with us.  The driver and passenger of car  number one have survived and are not cited.

Pennyslvania, Illinois, Michigan, and Pharmer’s home state are near the top of the heap for whitetail dear road hazards.

Eat more venison!!

Chinese Octo mom (with helpers)

~ Pharmer

Rich couple beat Chinese one-child family law by secretly having EIGHT babies | Mail Online.

No, this couple did not beat the system.  But they do have eight babies, a big fine, and have lost their home in Guangzhou.

This is a big violation of the one child policy.

There was some trouble with fertility which caused the mom to seek treatment, and at the same time hire two surrogate mothers.

What they wound up with was three triplets from the mom, and a total of five kids from the two surrogates.  Eight babies was waaaaay more than the Chinese reproductive regulators could stand.

 

Carol of the Bells

~ Pharmer

“Christmas Lunatic” lined up a display on his own house and those of two crazy neighbors. It looks GREAT!

Naturally Pharmer had to learn how they do this, and one generous designer shares his secrets HERE. He uses light-o-rama software and controllers, a low level FM transmitter, and thousands of LED lights. There’s also a trick to fixing up the MP3 tracks to use a constant bit rate, to prevent the lights from drifting off beat. You can purchase musical programs if you don’t feel up to designing your own.

Merry Christmas!
