So is my dick gonna fall off ?

Article = none , personal experience.

As you might know if you've been reading this blog for a while, I'm a sick little boy.
Chrones Disease. And I was on steroids for two years (Prednisone).

And I've heard of atheletes using steroids to get really big honking muscles.

and I've heard that as a result of this misuse of steroids their dicks get really really tiny.

Needless to say , I'm a bit worried.

Catabolic, Anabolic Steroids

Atheletes don't use steroids to enhance muscle mass. They use Anabolic Steroids, an important distinction.

The major side effects of anabolic steroids include various rather nasty effects on both male and female sexual organs (up to and including outright impotence in the male) and of course, really big muscles.

And yes, the damage to the male sexual organ is PERMANENT. You're playing with fire , you body builders out there. You could be impotent for ever and ever.

doesn't sound like a good deal to me. You get big muscles and all the girls swoon to you ... but you can't do anything about it !

Catabolic Steroids, like Prednisone , which they put me on for two years BREAK DOWN muscle tissue, not build it up. There are no listed side effects on either sexes sexual organs.

Good news ! No ones going to break into the pharmacy computer , find my address , and come hunting for my stash of prednisone. It's the wrong kind of steroids.

Bad news. I now understand why I've been weak as a kitten over the last couple of years since I got sick (and they put me on prednisone). The dang drug was wreaking havoc on my muscles. There's not much I could have done about it even if I had known , it is true. When you got this tube stuck in your belly and a bag on your hip going jogging is a really bad idea, but it would have been nice to know. For a while there I was seriously contemplating a wheel chair.

I suppose from the doctors point of view it's an easy decision to make. We saved your life ! Yes, you'll be weak for a year or two , but you're alive ! You wouldn't have been if we hadn't have done this !

Still..would have been nice to know.

PM must 'cut the jargon' on recession talk: opposition

Article


"We'd like to know what the difference is in the prime minister's mind between a 'technical' recession and a regular recession, and in particular, whether that makes any difference to the hard-working families and middle-class Canadians who are trying to get by in the real economy," Layton said.


I can help you with that.

A "Technical Recession" is where you say "Don't worry. Yes, we are facing some difficult times ahead, but we're well positioned, we can get through it. We just have to do a little belt tightening and yes, they'll be a rough two or three years , but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There really is no reason to panic."

A "Regular Recession" is where you say "THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING EVERYONE START PANICKING RUN FOR YOUR LIVES LOCK YOUR DOORS BAR THE GATES THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING !!!!"

Simple , really.

Sadly , the opposition parties are so intent on making the government look bad that they are happy to cause a panic in any way they can. They simply just don't care, as they demonstrated during the election and as they continue to do so now.

Al Queda Incompetance



U.S. Muslim leaders denounce al Qaeda's slur toward Obama

It's no longer funny to make fun of al Qaeda. It's just too easy. Instead maybe I'll just point out a few obvious errors.

Like having this obviously white as snow Islamic Cleric dissing a black guy. Sorry, Mr Ayman al-Zawahiri,but you come off as a Klu Klux Klan wannabe rather than a serious commenter for a major religion.

I think it has to do with the fact that the Islamic Imans are totally out of touch with their flock. I mean , how in touch can you be when you give a speach , and no one is allowed to ask questions after wards ? When you demand absolute obedience, read that slavery, of your people, and if they object you shoot them.

It's almost as if Emancipation has yet to reach the old world, and blacks are still slaves there.

They're just chattle to you , arn't they Mr Ayman ? And we can't let these chattle run off and escape , now can we ?

Maybe we can.




NEW YORK (CNN) -- Spiritual leaders of New York's African-American Muslim communities lashed out Friday at a purported al Qaeda message attacking President-elect Barack Obama and, using racist language, comparing him unfavorably to the late Malcolm X.

The imams called the recorded comments from al Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri, "an insult" from people who have "historically been disconnected from the African-American community generally and Muslim African-Americans in particular."

"We find it insulting when anyone speaks for our community instead of giving us the dignity and the honor of speaking for ourselves," they said in a statement read during a news conference at the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial, Educational and Cultural Center.

Criminals 'may overwhelm the web'

Article


Up to a quarter of computers on the net may be used by cyber criminals in so-called botnets, said Vint Cerf, one of the fathers of the internet.

Technology writer John Markoff said: "It's as bad as you can imagine, it puts the whole internet at risk."
.
.
.
Operating systems like Microsoft Windows, meanwhile, still made it too easy for criminals to infiltrate them, the experts said.


It's about time.

Why am I cheering this kind of malfeasance on , you ask ?

Because no one makes any changes until they have to. No one stops raking in the money until the money stops pouring in. No one gives a rats behind about the consumer. Give us money. We have Vender Lock. You *MUST* buy our product , you have no choice , we copyrighted everything so our product is the only thing that works. And those other things that make good alternatives ? We launched a very expensive advertising campaign to smear their name and hide the fact that they're actually working and our junk is not. (Linux, Apple)

So hand over the dough and I don't give a dang about your problems.

Well... my computer doesn't work. And I hear the new models have the same problem as the old one , it was never fixed. And I'm not getting to use the thing anyways , why would I shell out 1500$ to 3000$ for something that aint going to do anything but annoy me and waste my time and cost a fortune in computer repairs and still be broken when all is said and done ?

Oops... YOU HAVE NO CHOICE GIMME YOUR MONEY ITS WINDOWS OR NOTHING !

Well, I'll go with nothing. It's cheaper and just about as effective as a computer thats always filled with infection and trojens anyways.

Oops...hmm... maybe we might have to do something about that...

too late now. You got a reputation now Micro$oft. Not trusting you anymore. yeah , I never heard of the competition (apple , Linux) or you smeared their names so I don't trust them either I've been tricked into thinking they're no better. But that just means I get out of computers entirely. Bye bye

Wait ..come back ...

*silence*

Dang..

Is General Motors Worth Saving?

Article


The company is burning through more than $2 billion each month. It has $16 billion left. As if they were aboard a dirigible losing altitude, GM's bosses have been frantically throwing all manner of stuff overboard — retiree health-care benefits, people, assets, new car design — to conserve $5 billion. That will get it through the year.


Survey says ...No ! GM needs to die.

You cost a years salary , maybe two years depending on who's doing the counting, for one car. The car lasts three years tops and then dies without significant repairs. Ford Motors knows this and doesn't even bother producing spare parts because they know no one buys a car from them twice anyways, their market is the first time buyer (read that "Ignorant sucker who hasn't been burned yet") and no one else.

You pollute the heck out of everyone in any major city and cause enourmous health problems. You cause wars overseas because everyone needs cheap gas and the government now has to declare it a "strategic material" and go to war to get it when the price goes up.

You can build a vehical for a third the size. A two seater motorcycle with cargo space for grocieries, maximum 30 mph, use buses and trains for long distance travel. Why does every idiot in the world need a tonne of steel that goes 90 mph but spends 90% of it's time idlying in rush hour traffic ? Who decided that was sane ?

The Auto manufacturers decided that was sane ,thats who.

And it isn't.

GIVE ME MONEY !

GM failure: The shockwave

If General Motors declares bankruptcy, industry watchers say, the entire domestic auto industry could be badly hurt.



Yeah yeah . People are tightening their belts, they're not buying cars, so it's hurting your business. GIVE ME MONEY !

Guess what ? People are tightening their belts and not going to restaurants so often anymore. Why don't we give money to them ? Or to Clothing stores ? Or to gas stations since they're not driving as much and not buying as much gas ? How about video game manufacturers ? Now that everyones living out of their cars they don't have any place to plug in their nintendo's anymore ! That industry could use some help too ! Or maybe computers ... microsoft is likely to start hurting too , have pity on the third richest man in the world and throw him a few billion too ...

Yep yep yep. 700 billion on the table , and everyone wants a piece of the pie. Capitalisim at it's finest.

Hmm... giving money away... didn't all this whole mess start because the government gave everyone and the dog a hundred thousand dollar loan with no credit check at all and thus badly inflated the housing market ? Didn't this all start with the government giving money away for free ?

Are they making things better , or worse ?

Mis-Caution on Security

Open source software proves affordable, flexible for NIH, DoD



But just because open source software has a better track record than proprietary software doesn’t mean it’s 100 percent safe, said Ellen Libenson, vice president of marketing for Symark Software, which sells security management software for users of UNIX, Linux and Windows operating systems. Linux is a popular open source operating system.
While products like Linux are considered highly secure and backed by companies that can support users in need, some open source software programs are simply created by the community, meaning there is no support out there and nobody dedicated to ensuring the source code is not vulnerable to attack, Libenson said.
Before selecting open source software, users should do as much homework as they would with proprietary software, she said.
“Is there in fact a bona fide organization behind the product or is it just the wild, wild West of an open community of individuals of various skill sets?” Libenson said.


It's a wide wide west of programmers who let you see the code.

As opposed to a bona fide organization that HIDES EVERYTHING , doesn't tell you their programs have ten thousand errors in them, buggie to a fair the well (Vista comes to mind, XP too before the first few service packs came out) , uses crappy security encryption because it's copy righted so critics arn't allowed to look at it and see their blunders , only the hackers get that privilege, things like that.

The Bona Fide Organizations have a liteny of blunders and out right lies that leaves them in no position what so ever to criticize open source. It isn't even the pot calling the kettle black here since this very article already indicates open source has fewer errors in it than "professional" coding.

This isn't a caution on security. It's a mis-caution by someone trying to throw mud at the cheif competition who'll babble any meaningless words and hope people think his product is superior than the free stuff when in fact the opposite is the case.

Close Encounters of the Vehicular Kind

Article = None , personal experience

Was walking home from the grocery store a day or two ago with my hands full , staring mostly at the ground but I was paying attention to traffic , even though it was a parking lot.

And as I'm walking behind this brown mini van ? Pick up truck with the back turned into a cab ? Whatever it was , it started backing up towards me. And it obviously didn't see me ,and the back window was pretty dirty or tinted or something you couldn't see in and I have no doubt the driver couldn't see it and didn't realize HE WAS ABOUT TO RUN ME DOWN !!!!

Skipped to the side some what faster than I'd ever moved in the last two years, and he started turning in that direction , still backing up , still keeping me firmly in his blind spot in the center of that dirty window that no one could see anything through.

Skipped to the side even faster. I swear , it's been almost a decade since I moved that fast. I didn't even know I could do that anymore.

The truck pulls up RIGHT beside me , so I'm staring in the passenger window inches from the glass, which is tinted , but I'm so close I can see in anyways, and theres this old lady drawing back in fear and shouting. And the truck took off like a bat out of hell.

Tip to you drivers.

Next time you're backing up , and this scary old man with his hands full of grocereies suddenly apears out of nowhere inches from your car and he lookes totally pissed at you and he's swearing his head off ? It's because YOU ALMOST RAN HIM OVER YOU STUPID TWIT !!!!

Just a subtle reminder. Be careful out there.

ANALYSIS-Why John McCain lost the White House

Article


McCain's attempts to portray Barack Obama as a tax-raising socialist with friends who were terrorists drove away moderate voters, who handed the Democrat a decisive victory on Tuesday.


Didn't lie convincingely when he portrayed this 20 year vetran of a christian church as a muslim terrorist.


But the Arizona senator's response fell flat. He did not distance himself early or forcefully enough from President George W. Bush, party strategists said, and his lack of a coherent economic message loomed large as the issue trumped the Iraq war in voters' minds.


Stood loyal to his party that was butt ..fugging ... the nation. And indirectly the world. No idea about the economey except to keep on butt fugging the people who's votes you're trying to win , oh we can't say that can we ? maybe I just won't have an economic platform ...


He championed himself as someone who largely opposed regulation in the financial industry but reversed course when banks started failing and the Wall Street crisis spread.


Got caught lying.

Feehery faulted McCain for abiding by campaign finance laws and not making more of Obama's association with his controversial former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright


No go. Painting him as a friend of a christian would have interfered with the smear campaign of painting him as a muslim terrorist.


"McCain spent the entire summer drawing a contrast with Obama over experience and the Palin decision threw that out the window," said Reed. ""(But) you can't blame Palin for the loss. She energized the party and the base ..."


Said Obama had no experience, then hired a rookie for vice president. Caught lying again.

My opinion why mcain lost.

The Economey went to pot during the election. You were forced to actually *DO* something, vote for or against that 700 billion dollar bail out. And everyone got to see you in action *BEFORE* the election. And they were not impressed.

Thats what happened.

Business's Get Away With Murder

Man dies in hospital after Calgary police use Taser during arrest on weekend


More than 20 people have died in Canada after being stunned by Tasers, but the U.S. company that makes the devices points out they have never been directly blamed for a death. The company cites a long list of independent research that has verified the safety of the devices.


Cop blasts criminal with Taser. Criminal dies two minutes later.
Turns and looks at you. "You see son. Taser didn't kill him, it took him two whole minutes to die, therefore ... " insert long technical babble. "... therefore I didn't murder him.

And Taser Corperation is a good corporate citizen , and not a bumbling murdering company that refuses to stop killing people. "

Look down at body. "Ok, why did he die ? He was alive and kicking before you shot him."
"Thats just random chance. His death had nothing to do with me tasering him. And you'll get sued if you say otherwise."
