The Flight of Kal-El
Look, if there was an alien baby who has been pooping and peeing on the same blanket for a number of years with only the droning of a Marlon Brando to keep him company, you’d better hope that filthy monster lands in the middle of the ocean.

“What do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?”
A disarming video of an 86-year-old WWII veteran from a public meeting on Maine’s marriage equality bill on April 22, 2009
“The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her: what do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?”

The Snatchback
“If your ex-spouse has run off and taken your children abroad, and the international legal system is failing to bring them back, what are you to do? One option is to call Gus Zamora, a former Army ranger who will, for a hefty fee, get your children back. Operating in a moral gray area beyond the reach of any clear-cut legal jurisdiction, Zamora claims to have returned 54 children to left-behind parents. Here’s the story of number 55.”
Sweet Jesus, ITS F*CKING RAMBO!

N.B. premier uses YouTube to spread swine flu warning.
New Brunswick Premier Shawn Graham is turning to YouTube to raise public awareness of ways to prevent the spread of the swine flu virus.
The bilingual online video that is just more than two minutes long outlines the provincial government’s plan to deal with the spread of the H1N1 virus.
Graham also urges people to take precautions and get vaccinated against swine flu.
“Those at high risk of complications from pandemic influenza should seek medical attention immediately. Those individuals include pregnant women, people with underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or those with compromised immune systems,” Graham said in his video.
“If you are not part of a high risk group and are have flu-like symptoms, you should isolate yourself from others as much as possible until you are feeling better.”
Graham encourages people to wash their hands and get their flu shots.
The YouTube video is the latest initiative in the provincial government’s public awareness campaign on influenza.
Vaccine expected in coming weeks
The new flu vaccine is supposed to be in New Brunswick in the next few weeks.
Diana Austin will also be among the early wave of people vaccinated against the virus because she has a chronic illness.
Austin has multiple sclerosis and she’s worried about taking the flu vaccine because it contains an adjuvant, a substance used to boost the vaccine’s effectiveness.
She said she is worried that substance could harm her.
“Those of us with MS are advised to even avoid echinacea, which healthy people take all the time because echinacea revs up the immune system,” she said.
However, Dr. Eilish Cleary, the province’s chief medical officer of health, said the adjuvant will not affect Austin’s condition or anyone else who suffers from an autoimmune disease.
“There’s absolutely no evidence to support the fact that it would,” Cleary said.

Plan B
Plan B, also called the “morning after pill” is an emergency contraceptive. Some pharmacists have refused to stock and fill the prescription, citing ethical reservations, causing the AMA to affirmatively state its support for the contraceptive and urge pharmacists to sell it and for the FDA to allow over-the-counter distribution. A partial victory was achieved in 2006 to allow OTC dispensing without a doctor’s note for those over 18 years of age. However, some pharmacists continued to refuse to fill the prescription, including the owners of Ralph’s Thriftway pharmacy chain in Washington State in 2006, causing some to boycott the chain. Ralph’s was later found by the Washington State Board of Pharmacy to have violated the state pharmacy code in so doing. Ralph’s lawsuit to block the ruling reached the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which has now ruled against the pharmacy chain, saying ALL pharmacists must stock and dispense the contraceptive.
From the ruling:
“Any refusal to dispense — regardless of whether it is motivated by religion, morals, conscience, ethics, discriminatory prejudices, or personal distaste for a patient — violates the rules,” the panel said.

Moonlight, wine, a kiss, and handcuffs.
The Mormon church’s plaza walkway runs through the heart of downtown Salt Lake. It was originally a public sidewalk, and is still used as such by the city’s downtown residents. It is common to see couples holding hands and walking arm in arm as they stroll. This hasn’t been a problem, until recently. The church claims the couple was necking and groping. Video obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune doesn’t show this., but it does show Mormon security in action. Charges were dropped, and the city’s gay community is weighing in with a series of “kiss-ins.”

Here come the airport rectal exams!
Uh-oh. Now that a terrorist has tried unsuccessfully to blow up a Saudi prince with a bomb shoved up his ass, the TSA is obliged to perform rectal exams on every flier for the rest of time. After all, once a jihadi failed to blow up a plane with his shoe, we all needed to start taking our shoes off. Then some knuckleheads believed they could blow up a plane with energy beverages and hair gel, so now we have to limit ourselves to 100ml of all liquids and gels, unless they’re for babies or are prescription (because no mass-murderer would be so evil as to forge a doctor’s note, which, as every junkie knows, cannot possibly be forged).
Now we found someone who was made to believe he could kill people with an asshole bomb, and so it follows that the TSA will have to ban — or at least inspect — our assholes. They’re like opinions, you know, everybody’s got one. Except, of course, most of us got to keep our assholes to ourselves. Not anymore.
Let’s just be thankful that no one has yet convinced a suicidal murderer that he could blow up a plane with his mind, because once that happens, we’re all in for mandatory airport trepannations. Because, you know, you can’t be too safe. Every little bit helps. If an unhinged suicide bomber believes it’s possible, we must take it seriously. To do less would be irresponsible.
For years, I have made the joke about Richard Reid: “Just be glad that he wasn’t the underwear bomber.” Now, sadly, we have an example of one.Lewis Page, an “improvised-device disposal operator tasked in support of the UK mainland police from 2001-2004,” pointed out that this isn’t much of a threat for three reasons: 1) you can’t stuff a lot of explosives into a body cavity, 2) detonation is, um, problematic, and 3) the human body can stifle an explosion pretty effectively (think of someone throwing himself on a grenade to save his friends).
But who ever accused the TSA of being rational?

Go topless… and let me tell you about some UFOs
The second annual National Go Topless Protest Day will be held this Sunday, August 23, in various American cities. It happens to be run by Raelians, members of a UFO religion founded by Rael, a former French sports-car journalist and test driver born Claude Vorilhon. (Coverage of last year’s protest in New York City, which is, as one might suspect, NSFW.) Though the current “Go Topless!” site talks more about women’s rights than Raelism, in 2004, Raelian women were marching topless not for the legalization of bare breastedness, but against “the repressive Myth of God.” Don’t remember the Raelians? This is just the most recent stunt by the publicity-hungry group that capitalizes on media-friendly controversy: in 2002, during the slow news week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, they announced the creation of the first human clone, gaining what Rael estimated at over $500 million of free media coverage. In an interview, Rael unabashedly discusses his passion for publicity.
From a press release:
The organization has decided to hold its protest events annually on the Sunday before Women’s Equality Day, which is celebrated Aug. 26. On that date in 1920, after a 72-year struggle, women earned the right to vote. In 1970, Congress declared Aug. 26 Women’s Equality Day “to remind people of women’s continuing efforts for equality.”
GoTopless.org includes not only Raelians, who believe all life on Earth was created by advanced extraterrestrial scientists called the Elohim, but women and men representing many other beliefs. GoTopless’s primary goals: nationwide legal recognition of women’s right to go bare-chested and its acceptance by the public.
“Breasts are noble parts of the anatomy,” said Raelian Priestess Nadine Gary, president of GoTopless.org. “They shouldn’t have to be hidden any more than arms or legs. ‘Free your breasts, free your mind!’ is our message to women. Men can practice respecting a freedom they take for granted and help end the puritanical idea that children shouldn’t see breasts unless a woman is nursing.”
“Concern for children can be used as an excuse to violate human rights,” said psychologist Daniel Chabot, a Raelian bishop. “But a child who sees breasts experiences no adverse effects. European children have been proving that for 40 years.”
Protest events will include marches, art displays; musical performances and speeches about top-less freedom.
“The art works won’t be censured for including nipples,” Gary said. “In fact, we’re encouraging the artists to celebrate the entire breast in all its magnificence and beauty!”
