Laura Bush, self-righteous fuck from the bowels of hell, treated herself to neck surgery for a pinched nerve. WTF, bitch?!

It’s your “god’s will” you are so fond of speaking to, when you and your ignorant husband DENY stem cell research funding. You fuck!

You deserve no benefits of the science and medical technology that you so oppose. Let the Jebus sort it out, I’m sure he’s got your best interest at heart.

“Americans are now among the shortest and fattest people in the industrialized world.” This article attributes it to shortcomings in our healthcare system, but it’s not the system that’s feeding these fat fucks. Unless we have a Se7en scenario, these ppl are shovelling their pie-holes full’a crap voluntarily. (Source)

On the brighter side, according to the theory of assortative mating, fat people dig those of similar girth, so that fat fucks can get laid, married and so on. This leads to another point in this other article, about how fat begets fat - the double-dose of obesity genes are almost certain to dominate their offspring, thereby populating the world with fat ppl and the American epidemic of fat-asses.

Additionally, an agenda of “body diversity” is out there, encouraging children to accept themselves as they are, so as not to engage in “looksism - the tendency to perceive social acceptability based upon how a person looks.”

Hate to break it to ‘em, but it’s inevitable. People do judge based on looks. Kids should be encouraged to want to do better, to continually improve themselves, rather than just accepting it as their lot in life. This group’s motto should be, “Fuck it,” with their unrealistic agenda of changing society instead of themselves. (Source)

The Double-Nosed Andean tiger hound, Xingu is said to be intelligent and fond of salty biscuits.

“Other dogs snarl at Xingu, because they can sense he’s different. He’s the smallest dog there but he sees the other dogs off,” Colonel Blashford-Snell said.

“He’s very intelligent and with a wonderful sense of smell, as you might think.

They say he “[isn’t] a terribly handsome dog,” but I beg to differ, I think he’s a cutie! I bet he makes sniffy-sounds galore, at twice the power of your average dog! :D

I don’t know that I agree with ongoing breeding to perpetuate the double-nose, especially since the article mentions a majority of double-nosed puppies in one litter dying.

Breeding strikes me as an odd thing to inflict upon animals, especially having experienced it firsthand with my purebred cat. It’s unnatural, as in, this is not how it would transpire in nature, if they were left to their own devices.

While they have the desired traits specific to a breed, they also have increased odds for afflictions, sickness and mental disorders, also specific to that breed - all from the limited gene pool they’re drawing from.

It’s an odd form of genetic racism, inflicted upon animals by humans. I can see why it’s done, as characteristics and personalities vary wildly across breeds, but it’s still weird.

It alludes to this site, the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, whose tagline is, “May we live long and die out.”

Further solidifying the argument that environmental damage is manmade, Al Gore reveals that conflicting reports on global warming are typically funded by offending polluters.

Gore likened the campaign to the millions of dollars spent by U.S. tobacco companies years ago on creating the appearance of scientific debate on smoking’s harmful effects.

Look lively boys, better make yourself useful. This doesn’t bode well for men in light of recent data.

Article on the similarities between rats and humans. Interesting bits:

• They laugh when tickled, especially when they’re young
• Rats dream as we dream, in epic narratives of navigation and thwarted efforts at escape
• Look forward to good sex, “They wiggle and paw at their ears, hop and dart, stop and flash a come-hither look backward.”
• One study showed that rats accustomed to good times tend to be optimists, while those reared in unstable conditions become pessimists.
