The Wisdom Of Women

Not a lot of time for posting today but I just wanted to get this out there:

Over at the SHAMblog, Steve Salerno (above) wrote a funny piece about some fictional folks trying to write a gender-neutral bible. The skewed logic he displayed went like this:

TED: I thought we'd begin with a quick read-through. To kind of get us in the spirit of things, as it were. So: "And God said, Let there be…"

ELLEN: I have a problem with that.

TED: You have a problem with what?

ELLEN: I'm put off by the overtones. "Let there be light…" It's such a transparently macho way of speaking. So pontifical. Women don't speak that way.

MARCIA: I disagree. Why can't women be pontifical?

TED: Besides, you wouldn't expect God to be pontifical?

ELLEN: A macho God, yes.

MARCIA: What actually troubles me here is that everyone knows that Edison invented the light bulb.

[LONG SILENCE]

TED: Ohh-kay…."

I thought this was hilarious until I started reading the New York Times, for the results of last night's caucus, and, in the comments section, read this post by "SGW":

"Right after Clinton won big in OH and was leading in TX, the men of MSNBC (Keith Oberman and Chris Matthews) were wondering out loud whether she “should quit” the race. They then proceeded to chat it up with David Axelrod about Clinton and her “throwing in the kitchen sink” politics. Another subconscious reference to women as housewives?"

Now, once again, I ain't laughing "no mo". I swear, feminists are insane,....Considering Hillary's win last night - and the fate of our country - are any of you sure you know what you're doing?

In this NewAge world, I sometimes have to wonder, especially since my research leaves me getting waay too much exposure to waaay too many mush-headed scenes, like the one below, which (I'm sure) is making Al Qaeda, and Hamas, etc., very, very, happy,...:



The stupid - it burns.

I Am So Pissed (You People Are So Dumb)

"ABC reported in 2006 that 'in less than a year' after the ads began running, Miralus sold some 6 million tubes at $8 a pop. (For the math-impaired types,...that adds up to $48 million.)"

- Steve Salerno, writing about HeadOn! on the SHAMblog

$48 million dollars - for a "homeopathic" stick of wax. And they got all that money in less than a year. At $8.00 apiece: That's a whole gang of idiots out there.

And it probably never occurs to them, that they've given their money to people who are laughing at them, does it? No, they're too stupid for that. Or the fact they've given their money to unscrupulous people - possibly criminals - and for what? A stick of wax. Not the hungry, the sick, or the poor (or even to donate to this site where it's needed) but for people who laugh at them for how pathetically stupid they can be.

Is it any wonder why I could less about this totally unrealistic, and stupidly hubristic, desire to "Save The Planet"?

Fuck the planet. You don't know shit about it. Focus on saving yourselves,...

Let's Make A Deal: I'll Wash Your Hands, If You'll Wash Mine (They ARE Dirty, Aren't They?)

I was just over at Steve Salerno's Shamblog and he's writing about “life coaching” - which kind of ties in to yesterday's topic of Jennifer Niesslein's Self-Help experiment (she had one woman who was encouraging her to clap in certain areas of her house to disperse “negative energy”). Anyway, Steve mentioned that life coaches have ethical guidelines (!) that basically add up to a non-aggression pact:

You don't bad-mouth me and I won't bad-mouth you.

So guess which “profession” shares the exact same ethical guideline? You guessed it: Homeopaths! (Yes, my favorite NewAgers in the whole NewAge world!) It is absolutely against the rules for one homeopath to ever accuse another of, say, shaking the water wrong. Why, if you do that, they'll probably kick you out of the whole water-shaking club.

And then, really, where would you be?
