I was cleaning out my cell phone storage, and stumbled across some pictures I took this summer (forgot all about them–I don’t use my phone camera much.)  Gonna post a few for fun…

Sarah Palin or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

  • Posted on October 20, 2008 at 10:00 pm

palin_and_whore

Look as these two people.  Do you know them?  Do you trust them? 

Out of nowhere they rise from a small post in our most remote state to being within a “heartbeat” of having control over the little red button.  You know…the one for nukes?  Yeah, THAT one.  We don’t talk about it much lately.  It’s not in vogue.   But never fret.  We will live in the shadow of the Manhattan Project forever.  You might not think about it, but every single political process taken far enough eventually leads to including the possibility of nuclear war.  It is the shadow over every political argument, and the shadow over every world leader.

So this button.  Is it safe for these two to have?   Do you think it is safe for this rootin’est tootin’est of sassy, spunky, yet ultimately air-headed women to have?  I don’t know.  When there is a successful couple, one usually has the brains and the other the beauty.  Look at Hillary and Bill.  (clue: Bill had the beauty).  In this case Palin is a pretty face with a tape-recorder inside.  She can spew out anything and make it sound pretty good.

So this guy….this guy in the background who is an oil field production operator and fisherman.  See him?   He may very well be the true next president of United States.  Know what I mean?  You want this guy right here making Commander in Chief decisions under the sheets with a (defeated) beauty queen? 

Seriously scary, but so many people don’t seem to notice or care. 

The surreal world of life is so frightening to those who see the truth that one can only laugh madly–or else cry.

When forced to decide, I choose to laugh while Nero fiddles and Rome burns………..tears only make me look older.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning mini-review

  • Posted on October 20, 2008 at 5:58 pm

I’ve been too busy with real life for video games since last winter, but luckily now that fall is coming in I have a little more free time for games!!!  Yay!!

However, if I don’t get to this now, I don’t know when I will because Fable 2 is coming out tomorrow—-a game I’ve been excited about for months.

So back to Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

First of all, can I just assume anyone who bothers to read this review already knows what World of Warcraft is like?  Good, let’s start from there then.

Warhammer is World of Warcraft’s PVP on steroids and with most of the annoyances smoothed out.

Instead of only 3 battle grounds (as WoW had when I was really into it awhile back.  I didn’t care much for the new ones they added in BC) this game has 3 battle grounds PER tier–that makes PVP progression a lot more exciting than the grind it turned into in WoW. 

I ‘ve only played into the 2nd tier since I have barely any free time, but it’s been pretty fun and easy-going to level AND PvP at the same time. The item rewards flow along as well.

Coming from WoW to this game is welcoming and satisfying to all PvPers.  They know their target audience–which is basically anyone who liked PvP in WoW even a little bit.  The only people this game isn’t for is people who detest PvP in any way shape or form, but even to them I’d say:  The punishments in this game are extremely light for PvPing, which makes it fun.  Even if you think you hate PvP you might want to try  how it’s done here.

The players so far seem several notches above the average on WoW—thank God.

Graphics are OK, but not that huge of a leap forward from WoW.  Mainly they are more realistic.  The sound is immersive and gives the feel of being more inside a real war torn area than WoW does.

My only complaint is that it seems too familiar in a lot of ways, and not just because of the gameplay mechanics so handily lifted from WoW.   It’s the setting and characters as well.  Warhammer came first as far as the essentials of the fantasy archetypes, but that doesn’t keep some of this game’s aspects from seeming stale after all these years of WoW domination. 

 

Graphics: 8/10

Sound: 9/10

Gameplay PvE: 8/10  (“Public quests” are cool!)

Gameplay PvP: 9.5/10

Overall: Definitely a fun game for MMO fans and those really burned out with WoW.

Sarah Palin upskirt photo: sexist my eye!

  • Posted on October 10, 2008 at 11:21 am

sarah_palin

 

So here is the “big-deal” picture of the day.  A so-called upskirt photo of Sarah Palin.  Well a) it’s not a real “up-skirt” picture, but everyone is calling it that.  It’s more like a “blurry, through-the-legs” shot, but whatever.

 

Is it sexist?  Well it probably is, but I don’t give a darn tootin’ because Sarah Palin brings this upon herself.  She is clearly one of those “professional” women who uses their sexuality as a power-tool when dealing with men.  I have no problems with that either, but it’s a two-edged sword, and if you go around with your not-so-modest skirts and your sexy high heels, do you really think you aren’t going to be sexualized?  Sarah knows what she is doing when she dresses–professional–but sexy.  It’s calculated. 

A shot like this very astute and perceptive of what’s really going on with her actually.  Polls are showing her support from women has dropped considerably and now most of her support comes from men.  If you don’t think her popularity is partly due to her sex-appeal, then please step away from the crack-pipe.  

Boys, men, and women alike are drawn in by her sexuality.  We aren’t used to seeing sexy women in power and that’s why we are fascinated.  But when a Reuters photographer snaps these shots, we cry “fowl” and “sexism”?  Get serious. 

Palin’s ride to the near-top is heavily due to sexism.  She’s been using her sex appeal to her advantage in the male-dominated world of politics for years. 

If she really cared she would wear pants–but then her poll numbers would drop even more.

Sarah Palin and her pink campaign signs…

  • Posted on October 7, 2008 at 8:10 pm

sarah_palin_with_sign

Well they certainly are adorable and they are just like ones I would have for myself (if I lacked integrity enough to ever run for public office.)

But I have a few questions:

1)  Has a presidential/vice-presidential candidate ever used *PINK* before?  Gotta be a first.

2) Has any VP candidate EVER had their own sign??  It’s always Clinton-Gore, or Reagan-Bush, etc.  I’m quite certain Dan Quayle wasn’t allowed to run around with his own campaign signs.

3) Are the Republicans just trying to get us to forget about McCain completely and vote for Sarah because she’s on the “pink team”?

Lucky XIII?

  • Posted on October 4, 2008 at 12:46 am

The Hall of Fame football star, O.J. Simpson, was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering up five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino, where the group seized several game balls, plaques and photos. Prosecutors said two of the men with him were armed; one of them said Simpson asked him to bring a gun.

The verdict came 13 years to the day after Simpson was cleared of murdering his ex-wife and a friend of hers in Los Angeles in one of the most sensational trials of the 20th century. (AP story)

Stop winking at me, please.

  • Posted on October 3, 2008 at 2:31 am

I swear I wanted to smack Sarah Palin every time she winked at the camera during the VP debates.  Is she Mike Myers now? 

Seriously, should we move the cast of SNL into the Oval Office or move the entire executive branch into Studio 8H?  I can’t tell the difference where one ends and the other begins any more.

I admit I can’t wait to see what Tina Fey does with Sarah’s stubborn refusal to answer questions she doesn’t know the answer to.  Should be a hoot, dog-gone-it.

Fisting and God’s Will

  • Posted on October 2, 2008 at 1:21 pm

This is one of those blogs where I present something you don’t see just any old day–even on the Internet.  The title of this blog comes from the title of this essay which I link for your perusal here:  Fisting and God’s Will

Too lazy to click? I present you with some quotes from this genuine and serious Christian website on the advisability of “fisting” in the Christian marriage:

 

“In the Song of Solomon, the Bible describes the act of fisting and the profound erotic bliss it induces: It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, “Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one”…My love thrust his hand through the opening, and my feelings were stirred for him. (Song of Solomon 5:2-4) Here we see the lover gently coaxing his companion to open up to him, metaphorically “knocking at her door,” preparing her sexually and emotionally to receive his hand inside her. Gradually he works more and more fingers into her, until the moment when her vagina yields and his hand slips fully inside her, thrusting “through the opening.” She then describes the powerful passion that this arouses in her as she envelopes his entire hand inside her body. Many couples describe this moment, as the fist makes full penetration into the vaginal opening, as transcendent and a sexual revelation. As the woman’s body accommodates her husband’s hand, both may experience a sense of physical, sexual, emotional, and spiritual oneness.”

 

Whoa!  This isn’t your mother’s Christianity, I don’t think….

Let’s read on!

 

“Fisting as an Act of Faith

Before attempting fisting, a Christian husband and wife should pray together and ask for divine guidance. The husband should ask that God guide his hand and work through him, and for the skill and patience to fist his wife correctly and maximize her pleasure. The wife should pray for openness and readiness to receive God’s love and grace in the form of her husband’s hand.”

 

By now you are probably shaking your head in disgust… or rushing out to convert to Christianity…either way, it gets BETTER:

 

“Role Reversal

So far we have only discussed a husband fisting his wife, but some couples may wonder if it is appropriate for a wife to fist her husband if he enjoys anal stimulation. In most cases, a wife indulging her husband’s desire to receive light anal play is not problematic in the context of a healthy sexual relationship. A wife may even anally penetrate her partner with a strap-on dildo if he enjoys this, and if their respective roles as husband and wife are secure outside of the bedroom.”

 

Anal fisting?  How apropos considering what’s going on with our economy at the moment.

There is no information on where this crazy church exists, but they also have articles on how it’s okay to Ménage à trois and practice BDSM all the while maintaining your good standing with the Lord on High.  

With Christianity like this, who needs sin?
