Some days I feel like I’d like that pasted on my forehead….
Mean Girl
This girl is t.r.o.u.b.l.e. – she needs a spanking and more than rehab. If ‘ordinary’ people were given as light of a sentence as celebrities, there would be fewer people in the world because they’d all overdose, be killed by drunk/drugged drivers or murdered by thugs.
Candy Canes
Wow, candy canes and Christmas sweaters are bad because people are sad during the holidays and all that celebrating reminds them of their sadness (not to mention someone might get stabbed with a pointy candy cane). Let’s just dispense with the niceties and charge them all with conspiracy to commit murder. After all, if people commit suicide during the holidays it’s certainly because other people are happy and celebrating Christmas. Maybe they should make it a class-action lawsuit against all of Christianity too…
Milk and Diabetes
It’s no wonder people are confused about their dietary habits. Milk is bad for you because it’s fat; so we’re all supposed to consume only low-fat dairy, if at all. But according to THIS study, full-fat dairy may protect against diabetes…
Trans-palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that circulates at higher levels in the blood of those who consume lots of full-fat dairy products, may protect against diabetes, according to a study published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine. That surprising finding may fly in the face of much nutritional advice that warns us against consuming too much whole milk, cheese or other sources of animal fat. But it comes from a study of 3,736 adults participating in the long-running Cardiovascular Health Study.
Birthrates
Birthrates dropped and the government takes the credit for it. “The report doesn't speculate on why the birthrate has fallen, but two decades of public-health initiatives to curb teenage pregnancy may be paying dividends.”
More statistics:
• Birthrates fell for groups that have had the highest rates, including Hispanics, whose rate fell 10% but still stands at 70.1 births per 1,000. (this means that 70 out of every 1,000 births are to a Hispanic.)
• The overall birthrate for all U.S. women fell for the second straight year. The decline appears to be continuing, based on data for the first half of 2010.
• About 41% of births were to unmarried mothers in 2009, up from 40.6% in 2008.
• The birthrate for women in their early 20s fell 7% and now stands at the lowest rate since 1973.
• The preterm birthrate continued its much-need improvement -- falling for the third straight year.
• The caesarean section rate reached a new high of 32.9%. It has increased every year since 1996, when the rate was 20.7%. (more than 1/3 of babies born are born by c-section every year).
Flash Mobs
I detest “Flash Mobs” and think they are a nuisance. It’s like “Glee” and “High School Musical” on steroids being forcibly piped into my ears while I’m in handcuffs and chained to a chair. Ugh.
We have a Winner!
You know, that McDonalds is an unspeakable place, filled with vile food and people who torment defenseless children by enticing them with toys (into becoming mind-numbed robots). Oh, and they coerce people into purchasing food with their little games and prizes. Shame, shame.
Guilty Smurf
Gargamel is alive and well; unfortunately he’s a crook and a shyster…
Christmas and Christians
Christians need to find a way to thrive in a society that looks less and less like any sort of Christendom — and more and more like the diverse and complicated Roman Empire where their religion had its beginning, 2,000 years ago this week.
