They said it: “man this dude is Krazy!” “you sir are an idiot” “you are a lunatic” “are you really black?” “meanest, most divisive, most irrelevant blog I have ever read”
What was he thinking of? That was the first question that came to mind when the story of New York governor Eliot Spitzer’s involvement with a prostitution ring was reported in the media.It was also the first question that came to mind when star quarterback Michael Vick ruined his career and lost his freedom over his involvement in illegal dog fighting. It is a question that arises when other very fortunate people risk everything for some trivial satisfaction.
Many in the media refer to Eliot Spitzer as some moral hero who fell from grace. Spitzer was never a moral hero. He was an unscrupulous prosecutor who threw his power around to ruin people, even when he didn’t have any case with which to convict them of anything.
Because he was using his overbearing power against businesses, the anti-business left idolized him, just as they idolized Ralph Nader before him as some sort of secular saint because he attacked General Motors.
What Eliot Spitzer did was not out of character. It was completely in character for someone with the hubris that comes with the ability to misuse his power to make or break innocent people.
After John Whitehead, former head of Goldman Sachs, wrote an op-ed column in the Wall Street Journal, criticizing Attorney General Spitzer’s handling of a case involving Maurice Greenberg, Spitzer was quoted by Whitehead as saying: “I will be coming after you. You will pay the price. This is only the beginning and you will pay dearly for what you have done.”
When you start thinking of yourself as a little tin god, able to throw your weight around to bully people into silence, it is a sign of a sense of being exempt from the laws and social rules that apply to other people.
From Gateway PunditAnother Prostitution Ring Busted… Tehran Police Chief Caught in Bed With 6 Hookers
Player-Player… The Tehran Police Chief, Reza Zarei, was caught in a bed with six- Yes SIX -hookers. AKI reported:
Tehran’s police chief, Reza Zarei (photo), has been arrested after he was found nude in a local brothel with six naked prostitutes, according to report on the Iranian Farda News.
A swarm of biographers in miners’ gear has tried to plumb the inky depths of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s warren-riddled psyche. My metaphor is drawn (as Oscar Wilde’s prim Miss Prism would say) from the Scranton coalfields, to which came the Welsh family that produced Hillary’s harsh, domineering father.Hillary’s feckless, loutish brothers (who are kept at arm’s length by her operation) took the brunt of Hugh Rodham’s abuse in their genteel but claustrophobic home. Hillary is the barracuda who fought for dominance at their expense. Flashes of that ruthless old family drama have come out repeatedly in this campaign, as when Hillary could barely conceal her sneers at her fellow debaters onstage — the wimpy, cringing brothers at the dinner table.
Hillary’s willingness to tolerate Bill’s compulsive philandering is a function of her general contempt for men. She distrusts them and feels morally superior to them. Following the pattern of her long-suffering mother, she thinks it is her mission to endure every insult and personal degradation for a higher cause — which, unlike her self-sacrificing mother, she identifies with her near-messianic personal ambition.
It’s no coincidence that Hillary’s staff has always consisted mostly of adoring women, with nerdy or geeky guys forming an adjunct brain trust. Hillary’s rumored hostility to uniformed military men and some Secret Service agents early in the first Clinton presidency probably belongs to this pattern. And let’s not forget Hillary, the governor’s wife, pulling out a book and rudely reading in the bleachers during University of Arkansas football games back in Little Rock.
Hillary’s disdain for masculinity fits right into the classic feminazi package, which is why Hillary acts on Gloria Steinem like catnip. Steinem’s fawning, gaseous New York Times op-ed about her pal Hillary this week speaks volumes about the snobby clubbiness and reactionary sentimentality of the fossilized feminist establishment, which has blessedly fallen off the cultural map in the 21st century. History will judge Steinem and company very severely for their ethically obtuse indifference to the stream of working-class women and female subordinates whom Bill Clinton sexually harassed and abused, enabled by look-the-other-way and trash-the-victims Hillary.
Snoop rants fairly often about inter-personal things, usually involving the stupidity of someone that results in repeated doses of them experiencing pain of some sort.Often, his remarks are aimed at women who (for a myriad of reasons) are involved with a male who is treating them badly and/or is going to eventually end up hurting them badly. He therefore questions what causes an otherwise sane or desirable woman to seek, stay, keep or otherwise maintain contact with males who are not acting respectfully or kindly towards them.
He has also been known to state that all men are pigs, and advise most women to therefore treat all members of that gender as potential suspects.
So I thought I’d throw my two cents at that topic, and him.
The topic appears to have two components or issues: (1) Why do women with lots to offer settle for relationships with men who have a lot less to offer and (2) If all men are pigs, then should any woman really trust any man to treat her well, long term?
So, let’s address the first issue first.
Why do women settle? For a lot of the same reasons men settle. They are lonely. They have low self esteem. They are too trusting. They think they see potential or can change bad behaviors with enough love.
They love a challenge. They want to help. They need abuse. They are rebelling against someone or something. They are re-living their mother (or grandmother)’s life, trying for better or different outcomes.
Whatever the reason, most people do not hook up with someone who is exactly like them. Many people do not like themselves well enough to want a mate who is their exact clone, in the other gender. So they are attracted to people who have different attitudes or behaviors. And any time there is any kind of disparity, there is the potential for friction on those points of difference.
The one thing that could save a lot of future tears is an insistence that no matter what disparities or differences exist, mutual values and a high degree of respect be present. If a couple has similar goals in life, and each respects the other, that increases the chances they will not end up wanting to escape (or being beat down to an emotional pulp).
But what about a situation where mutual goals or respect existed (or appeared to exist) but things later change? What do you do when someone is such a good pretender that he (or she) fooled you on even those
points?
This brings us to the second issue. Should any woman ever completely trust any man (or to put it more broadly, should any person ever completely trust any other person)?
If in fact all men are truly pigs, as Snoop often states, then why would any woman with half a brain ever fully trust that any man will be true and stay true? How can any woman who doesn’t implant a listening device on her man’s body believe that he is not wanting to cheat, at the very least? How can she ever trust him to love her, and not hurt her, forever, if his pig nature is always there, urging him to hurt her?
A SNOOP TIMEOUT FOR A VIDEO CLIP……
The relationship pundits are pretty uniformly united in stating that trust is a vital element in any healthy union. Without a lot of trust, few people would be able to relax enough to be themselves and feel truly safe and loved. Trust is a fragile thing; it can be lost forever if abused too often or badly. But without some trust, it is doubtful that any relationship of any kind could ever begin, let alone flourish.
So the basic answer is that trust should exist, and be given, by anyone wanting to be friends (let alone mates) with another human.
But whom should we trust? And why? And when to withdraw that trust? Those are the real questions.
It is a very bad idea to completely trust someone you do not know very well. Just as any prudent parent would not hand their beloved child over to a complete stranger, so too should a mature woman be wary of giving their full faith or whole heart into the hands of someone whom they have not even met face to face yet. It takes time, lots of quality time,
to really get to know someone else. Especially if they are adept at hiding their true nature or motives. So the best advice is for all adults to keep in mind that just because someone tells you something (anything) it is not necessarily the complete truth.
The main things are to pay attention and to talk all kinds of things out, a lot. And don’t just talk to the other person. Also talk with and to the people involved or who care about you. As long as there are two or more human beings, there are bound to be misunderstandings. But some people are just better or more habitual liars. They may not be out-right lying, but the chances are high that there are facts that are omitted. It takes a lot of time for most people to truly “come clean”
and be themselves, all the time. Some people never do it! So you need to have more then one set of ears listening to him. Use your trusted friends or family members, people who are guaranteed to be honest with you about what they think or observe (then listen); they may not be as
blinded by other things (like lust or loneliness). And if you find that your new sweet heart has lied about minor things, the chances are better that he also lies about major issues!
In choosing whom to trust, using just your heart, or your head, or your gut will not insulate you from being conned or misled. You must use all three, and lots of time, to get “to the bottom” of someone else’s psyche. Meet his friends and family; get to know them all, in their familiar setting. If the guy can’t let you into that part of their life (very far) there is definitely something rotten in Denmark!
And take time - a year at least - before making any firm commitments. If you haven’t seen someone when they are truly in ill health, you do not know them all that well! Don’t rush to make judgements, good or bad. But don’t waste a ton of time trying to reform someone. If they treat you badly, at first, their behaviors are not going to get better in the future!
But even with all of those traps set, and run, and all tests passed with flying colors, it is still possible for a woman to trust a man and get badly hurt by him. Sometimes she just gets fooled. He was a good liar, she was too naive to see the truth, etc. Sometimes he just changes. People do change. It happens. Move along.
But people also sometimes let themselves in for a world of avoidable new hurt by making excuses for bad behaviors. If he is rude to you and/or to others, or lies to you or others, right from the start - chances are that is his true nature. Pay attention. Leopards do not change spots. They just manage to hide them from some people. Don’t be stupid. Unless you like pain!
So, if someone has proven to you that they cannot be trusted, what then? When is conduct an act of betrayal or a breach of trust, as opposed to a stupid mistake? Those are the hard ones.
Betraying someone whom you love or who loves you, for purely selfish reasons, is one of the most hurtful things anyone can do to someone else. Everyone is going to do dumb things that disappoint or hurt their loved ones. But an act of betrayal, something that shows your beloved thinks that your well-being is not very important (when compared with theirs) that is harder to overcome or ignore. It becomes a cost benefit analysis. What do you stand to gain by working through the betrayal of trust, versus what would you lose. Is how you are or were treated not so bad, all things considered? Or are you just hanging onto hope out of habit or fear of having nothing else in the wings?
The longer you’ve been together, the harder it is to throw in a towel (for many people). They don’t want to have wasted all that time and energy, without having a lot to show for it. So they hang on and make more excuses. But the larger and more serious the betrayal, or if it’s a repeated conduct, the much more likely it is that the relationship is irrevocably broken or reduced to an unimportant one.
Whatever you do, do not lose your own self-respect. If you do not respect yourself, it is almost impossible to get respect from anyone else. And without respect, no relationship can be happy or healthy.
At some point, the only healthy and loving thing to do is to escape from certain kinds of emotional abuse. And someone who betrays the trust of a loved one is indeed abusing them and the relationship! So don’t put up with a pig and then complain about being in a pig pen mess!
If you put up with enough pain, you may eventually grow to like it, or at least tolerate it.
So the safe thing to do is pay attention, right at the start. If he (or she) is not treating you like you want and need to be treated, the chances are real good that there will not be some big change for the better in the future. Walk away soon and early, while you still haven’t expended too much of your time and heart. Do not settle for a pig.
And if you find yourself hooked on someone who treats you badly most of the time, the only things you can do are admit you alone can control how much longer you will tolerate that treatment and then walk away when you have finally had enough. There are far worse things then being alone.
Besides, no truly great woman is ever alone for long, unless she likes it that way!
“Station hires bathing-suit model, WWE diva to anchor news, turn tide on low-rating woes”
She wants to be the next Katie Couric, oh really??
I swear men are such pigs!!!
Some might say KYTX president and general manager Phil Hurley has decided to pull his station’s news ratings out of the toilet by stepping into the gutter.
The Tyler, Texas, CBS affiliate will premier its latest news anchor next week – Lauren Jones, an actress, bikini model and former World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler with no journalism training or experience.
While Hurley admits his decision to hire Jones will attract criticism, he sees it as a smart business move.
“We think this will accelerate our growth and that people will see this as entrepreneurial,” he told the Longview, Texas, News-Journal.
Jones’ 30-day contract is a tie-in with the new Fox reality show, “Anchorwoman”, scheduled to broadcast in August.
Fox is paying KYTX to film the five-episode “comedy/reality hybrid” in its studios. KYTX news ranks behind the regional leader, KLTV.
“It’s not about the money,” Hurley said. “We want our newscast to grow.”
Lets get to the point shall we…
As WND reported, bikinis and newscasting seem to go together at Fox.
Fox News Channel, frequently criticized for focusing on glitz and sex, hired swimsuit model and host of “World Poker Tour” as a substitute anchor and host of “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
Fox’s Jane Francis told the entertainment trade paper Variety the show had mapped out a basic storyline and a wish list for camera scenes, but beyond that, she wants the action to be as spontaneous as possible.
“We agreed internally that we don’t want to rig anything, or overproduce it,” Francis says.
“Anchorwoman” director Mark Jacobs is sold on Jones as the inexperienced novice suddenly thrust into the news environment.
“She is serious about this,” he said. “She wants to be the next Katie Couric.”
Having “the next Katie Couric” may not be enough to pull Hurley’s ratings out of the toilet.
According to Media Life Magazine, CBS’s “Evening News with Katie Couric” was third for the week ending June 3, with another all-time low of 5.50 million total viewers. ABC’s “World News with Charles Gibson” was No. 1 among total viewers for the sixth straight week with an average of 7.86 million tuning in.
Read the full story here, but why bother.
Hey I’m not gonna bitch about having a hot news anchor, as long as she can read and does not say “like” every other fucken word.
Frankly I’m tired of hearing the news from graying old white dudes.
The people bitching about the mixing of serious news and a little cleavage coverage are the same people with annual subscriptions to the Spice or Playboy channels. Shut the fuck up!
This is an old post from the previous blog and I wanted to post something different, non political.
This post may save some guy this weekend!
During a New Years eve gathering with friends and family the discussion of High Maintenance Women was hotly debated. Several of us men tried to explain the concept to some of the women in attendance.
This is not a complicated issue, especially for me since I would describe myself as High Maintenance.
Therefore, this is my literary 2 cents worth of knowledge and perspective on the issue.
First thing, you need to ask yourself some basic questions. There are quizzes all over the net, but I narrowed the questions down to the basics:
Do you change relationships often?
Do you get upset when your mate misses your birthday an anniversary?
Do you like it when your mate buys things for you? REPEAT!
DO YOU REALLY LIKE IT, IS IT A TURN ON, DOES YOU PULSE RATE GO UP?
Which do you prefer small, thoughtful gifts chosen for their personal value, or extravagant, possibly expensive PUBLIC displays of affection?
Do you expect things how you want them, when you want them?
Do you like to go out to expensive restaurants/clubs?
Do you often throw temper tantrums because of something he did but refuse to tell him?
Is social and or monetary status (particularly that of your mate) critical to YOUR existence. NOTE I SAID YOUR EXISTENCE! Is the need to disclose that important to you?
“High maintenance women are like high maintenance sports cars. They are lots of fun when you are out on the town together, but for every hour of showing off, there are another 10 hours spent on upkeep and repair behind the scenes.”
I stole that one but it fits!
HM women are those who NEED many things (money, material goods, affection) to be happy.
I REPEAT, THEY NEED IT!
High maintenance women love dressing up whenever possible, and are obsessed with all aspects of their personal appearance and grooming in general. This almost obsessive attention to detail usually extends beyond their person, to their homes or apartments, their pets, and yes, evens their men.
In addition, they tend to be perfectionists, overachievers, self-centered, and a ridiculously vain.
More questions:
Do you pick out you own gifts on your birthday and at Christmas because people think you are so fussy that you would only return the gift anyway?
Do you often send back food in restaurants if it’s not exactly to your liking?
Does you put make-up on whenever you go out, even if it’s just to the grocery store?
HM women are arm candy, pure and simple. Their fascination with their own looks means that whenever they step out of the house, they look perfect.
HM women insists on being with a man who can match her when it comes to looks and status. They will NEVER date down (in their mind), under any circumstances.
HM women try to encourage and may even buy things on their own initiative that they think will better their mans appearance. They will give constant advice on grooming, whether it’s about haircuts, which styles suit you, or what the heck you should do with that facial hair.
HM women insist on attention, (GOOD OR BAD) constant compliments and fancy dinners, they will demand the best of all these things.
HM women are straight shooters who are eager to let you know when they are not pleased. However, the problem is they cannot be satisfied! REPEAT, THEY CANNOT BE SATISFIED!
HM woman always want more of everything. She will find faults in ANY MANS best efforts, and for MOST men, some women just aren’t worth the bother.
If they have lots of money to keep you away and happy for awhile fine, but if you have to spend too much time around them you will want to strangle them.
HM women are often victims of the “Princess Syndrome,” or excessively precious behavior stemming from the belief that they are somehow above certain people, things and tasks. Some HM women may just flatly refuse to shoulder their share of the load. For example, HM women will always makes her mate do all the yard work and mowing because she is too “delicate” for it. Typically, they hate camping, hiking, loud parties, and more. This behavior is not good for developing and equal partnership.
But above all else, being HM means “Its about you”, every waking hour, every conversation, every trial, tribulation, IN FACT the sun revolves around THEM.
Every conversation, personal relationship, friendship hinges on themselves.
They will only care about what’s going on in your life IF it affects THEM!
