Miscellany - on Tuesday Night!

I haven't done a Friday Night Miscellany for quite awhile.  Today I found four stories I thought would be great for this format, so here it is - Tuesday night, I'm watching "The Biggest Loser" and thinking about how the heck I can find the correct Marie Louise Adele Seguin dit Laderoute who was my great-great grandmother on my father's side and anxious to get back to digging through censuses, marriage, birth and death records for my ancestors.

So, without further ado - TA DA! Tuesday Night Miscellany!

A different perspective on the sexual abuse of children scandal currently engulfing the Church of Rome by Maureen Dowd.  I don't always see eye-to-eye with her but in this column she's sooooo totally right on.  Those priests - gutter scum - every one who committed sexual crimes against children should be taken out, shot, and left to rot for the carion.  But first I would cut off their nuts and stuff them down their throats.  Crude - yes - but effective.

To shave or not to shave, that is the question
Seems some women want to walk around with hairy legs and think they're making some kind of "statement." Yeah, wow, some statement, ladies. Just be sure you shave your pits. Unshaved arm pits smell, even if you use antisperspirant. I've travelled a little in Europe where women aren't as keen on personal hygiene as most Americans - they just think we're anal and bourgeois. But let me tell you - unshaved pits SMELL BAD, even in the winter-time. And you don't have to get too close to a funky underarm either, to experience the, er, aromatic effects. Eeeeuuuuuwwwwwww. The epitome of Euro fashion - a drop dead gorgeous frock, perfect hair, make-up and accessoriess, hairy legs, moldy crotch "perfume" and funky underarms.

On Chinese hacking into computers
From a reporter based in China whose yahoo email account was hacked.  No one wants to say what the truth is that's staring everyone in the face - it's the frigging Chinese doing all the hacking.  They are liars and thieves and worse, and believe they are SUPERIOR to all races and cultures in the world today. The Chinese in mainland China today think they can do whatever they want to get ahead - and there are no consequences for breaking laws, stealing, lying, cheating, killing.  The government approves, too.  They think the rest of us are cockroaches to be stomped out.  They don't care that they're depleting all of their ground water and polluting their land for the next 1,000 years.  They're looking to take what WE have - first in Russia, then in Europe, and finally, here in the Americas.  Think I'm paranoid?  Just take a look at who's running things in China today - and why.  That provides all the answers.  Do a litle digging.  Don't just accept what Newsweek or NYT or Fox News says.  And be scared.  Be very, very scared.

More on China and cheating as an accepted lifestyle
There are no consequences even for those who are exposed as plagerizers and cheaters. In fact, people who refuse to cheat are not trusted and are considered abnormal - they are blocked from promotions and ostracized in other ways, too.
I got a good laugh reading this article from The Wall Street Journal:
Millionaires going bankrupt and facing foreclosure - boo hoo hoo, my hearts bleeds - NOT!
