WaPo: History Made! Whitehouse has Gaydar

44 – Obama makes history with social secretary pick.

Of uppermost importance to the Washington Post is not the political and career credentials of Jeremy Bernard.  Top most in the headlines and in the article is Bernard’s sexual preference.   Incidentally, his topmost pertinent accomplishments are probably in the area of Obama fundraising.

In times past, history was made by accomplishments, and these were highlighted, with the personal lives of our renowned heros something that had had to be dug up by those with interest in the matter.

Now the personal life is on top, with the accomplishments a bare footnote.

We see what’s most important to the left.

We also see why gay people who can see the whole picture have turned conservative.   Those with brains prefer the society with an economy that could sustain them, and in which they could keep their heads.

Down the road from Obama…… an economy and obamacare which can’t sustain gays, and a theocratic political system which has shown a propensity for chopping off the heads of homosexuals.

Obama needs to come out of the closet.  He chooses these symbolic means of supporting his interest in gay rights, rather than overtly coming out in their favor.   His fear of coming out  has led him into constitutional issues, as he has been picking and choosing which laws to enforce. The executive branch is supposed to enforce all of them.

MMM MMM MMM, Michelle’s Munchy Vacation!

You’re going to get something EXTRA upon entering the Cowboy’s stadium on Sunday says the Star-Telegram:

“Everyone entering the stadium must pass through a magnatometer, such as those used at airports, and get a patdown as part of the screening process. The majority of fans will enter through checkpoints on the east side of Cowboys Stadium.”

Will Gloria Allred run out and buy a scalped ticket?

Cut it Out, You Vampires!

A  44 year old Maori woman of New Zealand woman has suffered partial paralysis from a stroke which has been attributed to a HICKEY!

Yes, she suffered a clot of an artery leading to her brain after receiving a “love bite”  from her significant other, says Dr. Teddy Wu, who had treated the woman  at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland.   The case has since been reported in the New Zealand Medical Journal.

Docs say that the damage might have been worse had the difficulty not been quickly treated.

Don’t look for accurate medical reporting on this in the regular media.   You’ll  see stuff  implying  ‘warfarin dissolved the clot‘  (warfarin  helps to prevent clots), and the ‘clot in the artery…. traveled to the heart’…. (no, arteries lead away from the heart to the periphery, except in the lungs).     Someone find that journal article.

TransPOOsion – Treating Clostridium difficile the UK Way

Scientists fight bugs with poo | Reuters.

Thomas Borody, of the Center for Digestive Diseases in New South Wales instills transplanted Feces via a nasojejunal tube into the upper GI tract.

He’s had a 90 percent success rate in treating recurrent Clostridium difficile infections by this means.

Despite the success  (better than most drugs) the yuck factor is slowing down the adoption of this method.   A randomised prospective study is underway in the Netherlands, the results of which may bolster acceptance of Transpoosions.

Getting to Know Jared Lee Loughner

A look inside the mind of erad3 (most-likely Jared Loughner), page 1.

Erad 3 posted from the summer of 2010 on a forum called Above Top Secret.  He posts in the same style  (often tortured attempt at syllogism) as in the videos of Jared Loughner, and is most likely one and the same.

The other members of this forum apparently recognized that Erad3  had more than one screw loose, but were rather gentle (compared to many other internet forums) in suggesting this.

Jared Loughner’s friend says suspect ‘Did not watch TV … disliked the news’ – TVNewser.

The above linked  information is from a Zach Ostler,  who is said  to be Loughner’s last best friend, who broke away from his company about 2 years before.

Other sources said Loughner was registered as an independent, and did not vote in the 2010 election.

BBC News – Italian man shot in head sneezes out bullet and lives

BBC News – Italian man shot in head sneezes out bullet and lives.

From the title, Pharmer might have  categorized this story  under the theory that the brain is not the seat of consciousness, but found upon reading that it does not fit that classification.

The story simply can’t be redone – here’s a quoted excerpt.  😉

Mr Sangermano had spent New Year’s Eve with his girlfriend in Naples.

As the city sky exploded in a traditional celebration of fireworks, firecrackers – and the occasional high-spirited blast of firearms – he was wandering the streets when a stray .22 calibre bullet struck him on the side of the head, behind his right eye.

Bleeding heavily, he was rushed to hospital.

But while he was waiting for doctors he sneezed – and the bullet popped out of his right nostril.
