AFA is on K Mart-Sears Case for selling Kink

~ Pharmer

In May, the American Family Association asked K Mart Sears (again) to quit selling naastaaaaay PORN and bestiality books on its websites, and it appeared that the foundering retailer was receptive to the idea.
After checking up on the progress, the AFA has found that K Mart Sears has persisted in selling the smut. The evidence can be found here, under the KINK LINK. Be advised that though this page is censored, it’s still not where you want the kiddies to go.

Pharmer has more personal and pro-life reasons to boycott K Mart Sears, ever since 12/19/96, but pressuring them to quit selling porn is another good reason.

The AFA suggests the following actions:

“Call Sears’ corporate headquarters directly and urge Chairman Edward Lampert to keep his company’s word to stop selling pornography. The number is 847-286-2500.”

“Additional steps you can take to make your voice heard:
1. Send an email in your own words using Sears’ website feedback form.
2. Make a call to the Sears Public Relations Department at 847-286-8371, option 1.
3. Call your local store manager and politely ask him to pass your concern along to his district manager. You can find your local store phone number here, or in your local yellow pages.”

Barack Obama’s Brother to Make Film Debut in Anti-Obama Documentary (Exclusive Video) – The Hollywood Reporter

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Dinesh D’Sousa interviews Barack’s youngest half brother in a documentary “2016: Obama’s America” set to open in Houston this week.

Not showing on this film trailer is a statement from George Obama, that the wrong Obama was elected president.

George, though impoverished, and acknowledging  his own responsibility for that condition,  has noticed the many reasons for Kenya’s ‘failure to launch’.   It is possible that he truly has more of what it takes to govern than his older half-brother Barack, simply because he seems to accept the idea of personal responsibility.

The U.S. Divorce Rate is Not Really 50 Percent

Number, Timing and Duration of Marriages and Divorces  up to 2009

Steven Crowder says that Liberals need to stop lying about divorce.  He suggests that the inflated numbers we’ve been hearing for many decades may be related to liberals excusing their own failures.  MEEOOOOWWW.   Here’s his opinion.

Where Crowder gets his idea is from the top link, a collection of data on marriage and divorce from the Survey of Income and Program Participation, (SIPP).

At worst, it appears that the divorce rate  approached a max of 40 percent, has been declining, and is at its lowest since 1970. 

There’s the suggestion that government bureaucrats keep themselves employed as administrators of social programs by touting inflated divorce statistics.

The peak is 22.8 divorces per 1000 couples in 1979, which fell to 16.7 divorced per 1000 in 2005.

Specsavers’ Optometrist spots brain condition after doctor misses signs – Telegraph

Specsavers' optician spots brain condition after doctor misses signs – Telegraph.

The UK Telegraph story linked above illustrates a couple of points: One is that the physicians are not able to spend enough time with patients to give thorough evaluations, and have lost physical examination skills. The other is that the media reporters and editors use the terms optometrist and optician, (the person who dispenses lenses for vision correction), interchangeably and apparently don’t understand the difference.

Katie Burns diagnosis was missed by her general practitioner, to the extent that she was given the generic “it must be a virus” diagnosis, and did not get a referral to a specialist. She had frequent and worsening headaches. A friend suggested that she visit an opTOMOtrist, (the guy who examines and diagnoses eye problems, and prescribes vision correction). Dr. Faheem Hassan spotted an abnormally bulging head of her optic nerve, and directed her to a hospital, where she received a lumbar puncture to relieve pressure on her brain.
Ms. Burns is said to have been suffering intracranial hypertension, and has since had procedures to install a stent to assist with “brain drainage” to relieve pressure.

Supersized Egg – Pity the Poor Chicken, OUCH

Supersized Hen Egg Had Another Egg Inside « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth.

There’s an Abelene, TX hen which is wishing for some benzocaine topical spray. She laid a supersized egg, weighing 145 grams. An average egg is 55 grams. When the big one was cracked open, it revealed the usual yolk and ovalbumin contents, and another whole egg inside.

A theory given in the news article, suggests that this is caused by unusual contractions driving an egg back into the ovary where it is surrounded by another egg, forming the nested arrangment.
Pharmer wonders if it has to do with a failure of the secondary polar body to degenerate after the last division forming the secondary oocyte, that leads to this unusual phenomenon.

Any ideas, egg lovers? supersize egg

Naked man killed by Police near MacArthur Causeway was ‘eating’ face off victim – Miami-Dade – MiamiHerald.com.

A female witness, a road ranger and a police officer, all unidentified, intervened in an incident in which a naked man was seen eating the face off of a victim on the MacArthur Causeway off ramp in Miami.
The road ranger shouted to the cannibal to back away, to no avail. The assailant also did not respond to orders from the police officer, who then shot him. At least six shots were required to stop the attack, according to the Miami Herald article.
Police theorized that the cannibal was possibly exhibiting “cocaine psychosis”.
A surveillance cam on the Miami Herald building shows the police officer shooting the suspect, and the aftermath.

Update* The victim is said to have lost his eyeballs. The police have merely been guessing about the involvement of drugs. Cocaine and LSD have been suggested, as well as bath salts.
