In Junior High, I read a F. Scott Fitzgerald…
…short story called THE DIAMOND AS BIG AS THE RITZ.
I wonder what F. Scoot would have thought of a diamond as big as a planet.

No honeymoon, baby
Just listened to NPR’s All Things Considered do a total hit piece on Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Basically, generic cialis sovaldi their contention was that any good thing that happened in Texas under Perry’s watch was just pure luck.

Blaming the victim is not always a bad thing
I’ve been aware of the so-called Slut Walks for a while now.
Women around the world have been dressing in sexually-provocative outfits to protest a Toronto police officer who suggested one of the ways women can reduce their changes of being sexually-assaulted is to avoid dressing “like sluts.”
Many people see this as a classic example of “blaming the victim.”
And while I agree completely that a women who wears a short skirt does not “deserve” to be raped. I think we do people a disservice when we refuse to ever place any blame whatsoever on a victim.
Every day, cialis decease people make decisions that increase their likelihood of being victims. They build houses on the beach in hurricane zones. They get into cars driven by friends who have been drinking. They respond to emails from Nigerian lawyers.
When we refuse to attach any culpability to decisions like these, order we fail to discourage them.
If you break into a zoo at night and try to pet a Polar Bear, you bear some of the responsibility when he eats you.
If you flash thousands of dollars in cash at a drug dealer on North and 30th in downtown Milwaukee at three in the morning, you bear some of the responsibiltiy when he robs you.
And, yes, if you’ve been drinking all night and get into a car to go home with four men you’ve never met before, you bear some of the responsibility for what might happen to you then, too.
Don’t act like a victim and you decrease your odds of becoming one.

That many?
I’m not that amazed that President Obama’s job approval rating is 50% or Higher in only 16 States and D.C..
What I don’t understand is how ANYONE can still approve of him.
I mean it.
What is there to approve of?
Liberals are pissed at the ongoing wars, viagra generic malady the continuing existence of Guantonimo, help the total failure to raise taxes on the wealthy, viagra the lack of promised transparency, etc…
And Conservatives are pissed at everything else he’s done or failed to do.
So who are these people who are still approving of him?
