Women need to get "real".

I have a game that sometimes bugs my very beautiful wife. I love to point out the "corrections" to pictures in her magazines ad nauseum.
A couple of years ago a magazine clipped facial features from several people and edited them into a single face with additional enhancements. They left only one clue about this "persons" identity. They had a small inconspicuous computer chip coming out of a cloud in the background.

It's like comparing me against superman. I know he does not exist, but how many women know that these women in magazines do not exist? Check out this video from the dove foundation.

Here is the website for Dove's "campaign for real beauty."

Time lapse controll of the middle east

Joe Carter at Evangelical Outpost has a flash animation map of who controlled the middle east since 3000 B.C. until present day. It uses the politically correct B.C.E. and C.E. I can overlook that since Joe did not create it.

Check it out.

Breast cancer donations helping abortion?

I posted something about this last year and figured I needed to bring it up again.

There are more and more Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation supporting adds this year....BUT Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is among those that fund Planned Parenthood.

When Eve Silver joined an advisory board for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, she thought she was working with an organization that supported life. Komen supports breast cancer research and sponsors annual Race for the Cure events around the country.

But what Silver didn't know until just recently is that Komen also financially supports Planned Parenthood. In fact, in 2003 the foundation gave $450,000 to the group.
...
What Silver also found out is that Komen's founder, Nancy Brinker, is on the advisory board of Planned Parenthood in Dallas, and, after the $450,000 donation, Planned Parenthood built a new $5 million clinic in Dallas, something Silver called "a very clear conflict of interest."

Alternative organizations that support life

Want to give your money to organizations that are clear of Planned Parenthood and other bad ties? Try these:

The Breast Cancer Prevention Institute was founded by Joel Brind and Dr. Angela Lanfranchi to look at the connection between abortion and contraceptives and breast cancer. On the web at: www.bcpinstitute.org.
Instead of the American Red Cross, your local Catholic Charities also provides emergency relief services.
In the Diocese of La Crosse, Wis., many parishes have begun walks that benefit Catholic Relief Services directly rather than going through CROP Walk.
Easter Seals, according to Jim Sedlak at Stop Planned Parenthood, is a "completely clean" organization.
...
And the Michael Fund (www.michaelfund.org)gives money for birth-defect research and is pro-life, Sedlak said.

I can't find the orignal article, but it was linked from here.

Ben "Fake" Cardin the Voters?

Ben Cardin needed his staff to be voters that are enthusiastic about him.

n contrast with other commercials, it is considered unethical to fail to identify paid spokesmen or to have them pose as random members of the public in political advertisements.
...
In Cardin’s ad, a number of Marylanders endorse Cardin. Ashley Peddicord, apparently a college student, says “Thanks to Ben, I can afford college.” In reality, Peddicord works for the campaign. Her campaign email is: Ashley@bencardin.com.
Kelton Anderson, posing as an ordinary working man, is in fact a high-ranking official with United Auto Workers union, which has endorsed Cardin.

Would this help your wife/girlfriend get ready in the morning? Of course I have a hard enough time getting one outfit on in the morning :-)
This is pretty amazing stuff.

Everything is Albright with North Korea

Curtjester has a link to this David Zucker Albright Ad that is quite funny. As he said after he had seen it once...

When I went to view it again later it had been flagged by users as having offensive content. You just got to love the tolerance of some liberals that they consider anything that pokes fun or depart from their party line as being offensive.

I watched it three times myself :-)

Gaming old school

Lifehacker has a link to virtual NES (nitendo entertainment system) website. It has a plethora of the original games for you to play. Including the first game I ever beat without a cheat, Milon's Secret Castle. That was back in the day when there was no "Save Game" option and you would have to play for an hour just to get back to where you last died. This site hints in its update today that it is looking to add a "save game" option.

Tolerant hypocrisy

Gerald links the WSJ about tolerant hypocrisy. I was talking to someone about the same thing today because I heard the same thing from a left leaning pundit and a democrat consultant. They were saying Hasert should have been keeping a closer eye on Foley because he was a homosexual. Apparently only republicans are bad homosexuals. Could you imagine if it was a dem and the republicans said that. It was overshadow what happened and the MSM would turn the scandal into what the republicans said. Don't get me wrong, Foley needs to be out of congress and I am sure more punishment is to follow.

But in today's politically correct culture, it's easy to understand how senior Republicans might well have decided they had no grounds to doubt Mr. Foley merely because he was gay and a little too friendly in emails. Some of those liberals now shouting the loudest for Mr. Hastert's head are the same voices who tell us that the larger society must be tolerant of private lifestyle choices, and certainly must never leap to conclusions about gay men and young boys. Are these Democratic critics of Mr. Hastert saying that they now have more sympathy for the Boy Scouts' decision to ban gay scoutmasters? Where's Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on that one?
