Accidental Slut (Song by Riki Lindhome)

I know at least a dozen female friends who would find this song hilarious but I know zero female friends who would accept me sharing this song with them without insisting that I am trying to send a message specifically to them, so after I share it with the ones that know this is true about their slutty selves, I can just post it here and hope the rest eventually stumble upon it. Well, that’s only kindasorta true…I know a FEW chicks whom I could share this with that arent total hobags without going all girl on me (eg: “wtf is THIS supposed to mean? you think this is funny cuz it pertains to me? is that it? is that what you think of me? i think we should discuss this for an hour and a half right now…”)

The song is by half of the comedy music duo Garfunkle an Oats, Riki Lindhome (also known as the bitchy sister from Million Dollar Baby):

Most ladies choose to zap their pubic hair these days

Ashley Fetters in the Atlantic laments and explores America’s greatest endangered species: Pubic Hair. She points the finger at Carrie Bradshaw (huh? Sex in the City had lots of pubic grooming talk in it?) and Barbie (lol) but even bigger than those two culprits? Blame teh Pornz:

Although sex, hygiene, and clothing are all contributing factors, Fitzpatrick, Herbenick, and Pinto all agree that there’s one main driving force behind America’s villainization of pubic hair: pornography.

When a team of researchers from George Washington University took a closer look at Playboy‘s representations of women’s genitalia throughout the years, they found that in issues dating from the magazine’s inception in 1953 up through the 1970s and ’80s, more than 95 percent of the centerfolds and naked models sported full, apparently natural pubic hair.

In the late 20th century, though, that changed. As Joseph Slade, professor of media and culture at Ohio University, puts it, the media legitimized voyeurism and turned it into a way of life; suddenly, porn viewers wanted to see everything more deeply and without the veil of hair. Thus, Playboy‘s love affair with the au naturel look faded: By the 1990s, more than a third of the models appeared to have removed some of their pubic hair. And in the new millennium, less than 10 percent of nude models now sport the full pubic bush, while a third remove their hair partially and one-quarter remove it completely. Playboy has trimmed down the standard from the un-modified, detail-obscuring “fur bikini” it helped popularize in the 1960s to the vanishing act it promotes today.

Hugh Hefner’s magazine, however, isn’t the only supporter of the tress-less treasure chest. Rather, says Slade, genital alopecia seems to have hit the entire adult entertainment industry. “Depilation took hold in visual porn in the 1990s, though some actresses trimmed for movies before then,” Slade says. “It was easier to keep crotches cleaner on the set. But certainly the practice is widespread in video porn today. Enough so that backlash has created a niche fetish for ‘full bushes.'”

But while the sleek, slick, bare labia majora is more common in visual porn today than ever before, the stylized hairless vulva has actually been around for centuries. According to Slade, as far back as the 15th century, women — especially prostitutes — often shaved their pubic hair to avoid lice infestation, which is where having a muff may have picked up its stigma of being “unclean.” In the years following, medieval and classical European sculptors and painters omitted pubic hair from depictions of female nudes; In fact, the notion of pubic hair in general was so unholy that every last naked prophet on the Sistine Chapel ceiling is completely hairless below the neck. But life didn’t dare imitate art — at least, that is, not until Playboy.

Read the whole article for a study that reports that women under 30 are up to 3 times more likely to have no public hair than women over 30, and my favorite part: this story of one womans recollection of how her high school boyfriend got excited when she finally got rid of the bush once a month:

Though Pinto says sex has never felt any different to her without pubic hair (“Once we get going, who cares?” she says with a laugh), there certainly remains a sexual motive for taking it all off: Drawing back the curtain of pubic hair exposes the clitoris, the labia and the vagina for plain viewing. There’s a tactile element, too: As one elated young husband named Mark explained to Glamour in 2009, “The skin down there is protected — it never really touches anything, it never sees the sun — so it’s ridiculously soft.

“You can’t really tell how soft it is until a woman waxes. Oh my God, you can’t believe how soft it is when you wax,” 28-year-old Mark gushed. “It’s extremely, extremely soft, so it feels great when you have sex.”

Pinto’s past boyfriends, she says, would wholeheartedly agree. “Once, I started dating someone when I hadn’t waxed in a while,” she says, “And then when I did, he went, Oh! This is awesome! Why didn’t you do this before?!”

“That was my senior year of high school,” she adds. “So every month I would text him, ‘Guess who’s getting a wax!’ And he’d be like, ‘Smiley face, so excited!'”

Harry Potter VS The Bible

Did you know that Harry Potter was “directly copied” from the Bible?… So says this person. My ignorance of the Potter series, the fact that even literature openly intended to be allegories of the new testament (Narnia) aren’t usually called “direct copies” of their biblical source material among other things added to my reaction of this being kindov…weird. but I’ll share it here for you to decide.

Does it bother me that Harry Potter directly copied its story from the Bible? A little bit. What bothers me more is the amount of people out there worshipping Harry Potter instead of the real Person who resurrected from the dead Jesus Christ.

It’s not just the phony ‘resurrection’ I’m talking about either. J.K. Rowling made the clear parallels between the devil and Voldemort from the very beginning. And of course made Harry Potter to go through the same rejected, slain, raised pattern as Jesus Christ. Everybody at school thought he was a liar, no one would help him (except for his dedicated followers… errr… friends).

I took a while to catch on; I think the fact that she used ‘constant vigilance’ which is what our same warning is in Scripture about Satan tipped me off in some way (and really bothered me at the time). Then of course Voldemort started to have eyes and ears everywhere – quite like going around like a ‘roaring lion’. The snake was a major tip off and then also the fact that some of his followers had names assigned with constellations that had something to do with Satan.

And then of course there was the clincher. “The last enemy to be conquered is death.” From 1 Corinthians 15:26 and passed off as Rowling’s own. Speaking of course of the resurrection, the resurrection of the bodies of all believers. How in the viewpoint of the Harry Potter series ‘death’ can be an enemy I’m not so sure. But in the real world Satan brought death and from him it has become an enemy. In any other worldview besides Christianity it makes no sense to view death as an enemy because it’s supposed to be ‘natural’. So of course Harry Potter was inconsistent, as many people in the world today are.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Harry hater (I have read all the books) but does Jesus get the glory from all this? No. Is it evil that someone would profit so profusely from stealing a story right out of Scripture? Yes it is.

Just remember that Jesus is the only one who can give life, NOT Harry Potter. Think about it.

Republicans must choose a hispanic for Vice President

In 2007 I thought Romney/Rice was going to be the ticket that faced off against Clinton/Obama and I was thrilled and excited to see it play out. The first female president and first black vice president vs the first Mormon president and the first female AND black vice president. Woulda been awesome. didn’t happen.

This year, when Republicans finally get their shit together and realize that they have no hope with Governor Perry or former Speaker Gingrich and correct their mistake they made in 07 and nominating Romney to the position he deserves this time – their only choice is for a hispanic VP.

You’ve got to have SOMEthing to counter the history of the first black president (yes, I know he’s only half black so he’s just as white as he is black but he’s the first with dark skin so dont send me dumb messages or comments on that) and “first Mormon” isn’t a landmark. no one outside of the LDS faith cares if we have a Mormon president or not and no one should. who cares?

To counter the affirmative action that took place in skyrocketing a state senator to the Washington Senate for only 2 years of accomplishing nothing but making good speeches and being charismatic and putting him in the Presidency – the Republicans need to counter with a minority pick that ISN’T an affirmative action choice.

That rules out Herman Cain, who has never been elected to any public office, and it’s not good for the parties optics to choose a black VP this cycle anyway. Answering the first black president with the first black Vice President is a lame move, won’t gain votes and should be avoided unless the possible candidates for VP who happen to be black are just so good that it can’t be avoided and that doesn’t apply this year, as congressmen Allen West (FL) and Tim Scott (SC) were only just elected in 2010.

So where to next? Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana just won reelection in November by a landslide and remains super popular. He does well in interviews that could excuse his terrible performance in the Republican response to Obama’s state of the union speech a few years ago but it’s still a stretch. The dude may be president some day but he’s super young (just turned 40 a few months ago) and has time. He’s not THAT good of a speaker to completely erase the poor teleprompter read delivery of that infamous GOP response.

That leaves Republicans with asians in the sense of what people think of when they hear asian and hispanics. Republicans have no prominent asian elected officials from which to choose so that leaves the latter and there are excellent people to choose from. Here are the top 5 with their pros and cons, ranked in order of their net-gains in my estimation from least to most:

  1. Jaime Herrera Beutler: Congresswoman from Washington’s 3rd District.
    PRO: Womanandhispanic. ha cha chaaa.
    CON: House members are usually not tapped for the VP slot and she’s too unknown/unremarkable for this to not be seen as a ploy. That could be overcome but with the “unknown” part of the equation, we just don’t know if the dame is up for it. too risky with not enough reward.
    …
  2. Brian Sandoval: Governor of Nevada.
    PRO    : Nevada went for Bush 2004 but Obama in 2008. A Sandoval nomination could secure the state back into the Republican column and help out in neighboring New Mexico and Colorado which also changed their 04 Republican votes to 08 Democrat ones.
    CON: Short term as Governor. Endorsed Rick Perry. Is pro-choice, which won’t sit well with Republican base. in fact, it won’t be possible with Romney as the nominee because of all the smears against his abortion postion which evolved over the years from “I’m against it but it should be legal” to “I’m against it and it shouldn’t be”. Romney won’t need Sandoval on the ticket to win Nevada, either. So Sandoval’s out.
    …
  3. Susana Martinez: Governor of New Mexico.
    PRO    : Border state that voted for Obama in 08? Useful. Her last name? REALLY useful. A Romney/Martinez ticket, sharing the values of hard work capitalism and socially conservative values hispanics are polled to favor by a majority would switch over vast numbers of mexican-americans who had only been voting Democrat because they’ve been told that Republicans hate them and want them to fail. Argument becomes invalid when a Mexican-American is on the ballot for Vice President of the freakin country.
    CON: Palin problem: she is being attacked in her home state and struggling to deal with the onslaught + personal life stuff will be dredged up with no guarantee that  she will be able to handle the press and constant accusations of being stupid (the “go to” attack line against Republican candidates) which are key to being an effective candidate.
    …
  4. Marco Rubio: Senator from Florida.
    PRO    : An excellent speaker. A picture perfect family. Does well in interviews and speeches. Articulates American ideals exquisitely.
    CON: Aside from him constantly saying he does not want the job and would rather get work done in the Senate to which he was only recently elected to in 2012: He’s Cuban and Cubans are already Republicans because their country was freakin destroyed by Communism and constantly has people attempting to escape it for that reason. The GOP’s problem is with Mexican hispanics, so Rubio’s hispanicanism isn’t a guaranteed help there. Plus, the last name Rubio is not immediately identifiable as hispanic like the other contenders’ names are and Rubio is very fair skinned so his Cubanism may be more of a sidenote fun-fact than the major selling point the GOP needs. Might be better to keep him in the senate where he wants to be until he runs for President in the future.
    …
  5. Luis Fortuño: Governor of Puerto Rico.
    PRO    : Unless he killed a hooker and paid off someone who saw it go down? Everything. From the accent mark over the “N” in his name to his record as Governor – dudes a winner. He does well in interviews and like Rubio, articulates small-government, pro-freedom ideals articulately and effectively.
    CON: Although also not a Central or South American hispanic, he has the last name, skin tone and Spanish speaking cred that makes for such great optics and Rubio lacks, which could make up for it.

More:

UPDATE: Fortuño has endorsed Romney for president. As you can imagine, I received the news while in an office that was lit only by the light shining through descended but angled Venetian Blinds to which I responded by tenting my fingers and saying “excellent…” in a soft but sinister tone.

UPDATE: Romney wins the Puerto Rico primary by a whopping 75%

UPDATE: Okay.. brief flirtation with confidence that Fortuno would be a top tier pick is dwindling… going back to being confident that it will be Rubio…

Gingrich Headline Fail not good for campaign optics

CBN News (The Christian Broadcasting Network) recently did a story about three different wives of three different GOP presidential candidates on the campaign trail and Newt Gingrich publicized the story on his campaign website Newt.org.

The title however…lol. Eh.. well.. Considering Newt has been divorced twice and is on his third marriage, a better headline perhaps could have been posted…
