Wild Girls Released Back into Civilization

In what wildlifestyle reformation volunteers are calling a "positive step," the first group of rehabilitated Girls Gone Wild were released back into the civilized world Monday, and early signs indicate that they are adjusting smoothly, according to the director of the group responsible for their rescue.

For those of you who have been under a rock and don't know about the new Columbia Pictures film featuring Will Ferrell and Adam McKay here is a link for all things NASCAR and Ferrell. Release date for the picture is August 4.

Italian Election Coverage

Silvio Berlusconi, the moderate to conservative Italian Prime Minister, is currently on a reelection campaign. He has been a strong supporter of the war on terrorism (how can Italians forget the Red Bridage?) so this election is big for American interests. I believe Berlusconi will win but he appears a bit overconfident. After a debate, a reporter asked Berlusconi how the vote would go. He replied that the Left can't win and I respect the Italian electorate too much to think "che ci siano cosi tanti coglioni" -- that they would have the balls -- to vote against their own interests.

Basically the entire country has reached a crisis point. First, the demographic problem has reached a critical situation. Italy has one of the lowest birth rates in Europe and the continuous influx of criminal and terrorist immigrants have frightened even the far left. Second, the generous pension system (that has been a God-given right for generations of Italians) is bloated and can no longer be adequately sustained. Third, Italy has had an overly protectionist economy (especially for its workers and failing companies) that has restrained Italy from achieving its economic potential. Hostility toward foreign investment (i.e. foreign company buy-outs of traditional Italian companies) is common and privatization (which Berlusconi has pressed for) sets off protests and polemic debate. Lastly, Italy’s chaotic legal system is in need of radical reform (the average duration of a civil suit in Italy is between 10-30 years). Navigating through the morass of legal bureaucracy is perilous, time-consuming, and madding at times.

Having said all that, Berlusconi and his coalition have shown more promise than those in the past by attempting pension reform, such as extending the retirement age, and inviting more outside investment into Italy without fear that they are somehow losing their Italian character, among other reforms. In my opinion, a win for Romano Prodi’s coalition would be a return to the same old socialist polices.

And you think you have it bad

So I had a girlfriend for all of 9 months. She dropped by one afternoon when I was sick with a pan of brownies and a video tape with the simpsons on it (my favorite show). so I start eating the brownies and turn on the tape. midway through it, it cuts to her sucking off some dude. his nuts in her mouth, she looks at the camera, and says "you're dumped. enjoy the brownies" - and spits the mouthful of cum into a bowl of brownie mix.

Cathlic Church and adoption in San Francisco

In one of the most startling attacks on the Catholic Church coming from a governmental body in the United States in half a century, the governing body of the city of San Francisco - the Board of Supervisors - voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a non-binding resolution blasting the Catholic Church for its opposition to homosexual adoption.

If you clean an elderly woman's yard out of a sense of charity and she starts making conditions on how you do it, it's perfectly reasonable to reply "If you tell me how to do it, I will simply stop." That's all the Catholic Church is doing here. They provide a service regarding facilitating adoptions. Now they are being told they have to go against their own religion and consider homosexual couples to be just as good parents as married hetersexual couples. So the Vatican is picking up its marbles and going home. Glad to see them grow a spine.

Vermont Town-Meetings Condemn Iraq War

Does anyone in Vermont understand the difference between local, state, and federal powers? What I find highly objectionable is not the quotidian mindlessness of the content -- who expects politicians to be insightful or even original? Still, why aren't Vermonters (well, most are ex-New York liberals so they can't really be called Vermonters) angry about the spectacle of public servants spending time and money on a futile gesture that has nothing whatsoever to do with running their damn cities. You would think that if they wanted to pay good money to watch clowns throw pies at each other, they would have bought a ticket to the circus.

My love story

To keep it brief: I placed an ad in the paper and my current girlfriend answered it. From then on it has been great. Here is the ad:

Problem with Social engineering

I was thinking about the Family Medical Leave Act the other day. Although I imagine many people might have problems with me questioning the great social policy that it is, I'll just throw out there an example of the abuse that it brings. What occurs is that employees only have so many sick days (let's say 12 in a year). Once those 12 are used up they can only take unpaid "Family and Medical Leave." To use this properly, an employee must either be significantly ill or a family member significantly ill that they need at the minimum 3 days off. What ends up happening is that they either out right say to their employer they need 3 days off or lie and profess sickness for 3 days even though they want 1 or 2 days off for whatever reason. Happens all the time in government and I imagine in the private sector as well. Liberal politicians are always abused and people will always find a way around the barriers set up to prevent abuse.

I hate Hollywood

Sorry for not posting in awhile, but that's life. Anyhow, here is something that pissed me off recently: "Ten percent of the [New 9/11] movie's first three days of grosses will go to the Flight 93 memorial." Why not 10% for the run of the film? Come on how cheap is Hollywood anyhow? Three days is nothing when this film will benefit for months from the deaths of 9/11 victims and their families. Really irks me.
