Hooked
You know you’re hooked on Wikipedia when you notice errors on some other web page and start looking for the “edit this page” tab, only to be shocked to learn you don’t have permission to edit this page. I’m not linking to my contributions, since there’s nothing really to be proud of, just saying it’s a blast, at times.
Sometimes the Headline Says It All
Possible Nazi Theme of Grand Prix Boss’s Orgy Draws Calls to Quit
I can’t figure out how to tie this into my blog; I just liked the headline, seeing how it sums up the whole article so well. I can assure you my orgies are 100% nazi free!
But there is a tie in to sexual liberty that is not really explored in the article, which characterizes one side alleging and the other denying there was a nazi theme to the, er, activities. Supposing there was a nazi theme, but there is no evidence the man in question, Mr. Mosley, is actually a nazi or otherwise a racist outside the bedroom, does that make him wrong or unethical? Are we to assume what someone likes in the bedroom is a reflection of his or her overall character? I think that’s going a bit far. Suffice to say bedroom nazi reenactments are not my cup of tea, though if it’s done with a healthy sense of irony and amusement, I’m not sure how different it is from Springtime for Hitler. Can anyone really say, ““She needs more of ze punishment!” with a straight face?
Jogging High
Loved this article I read in the NY Times:
Researchers in Germany, using advances in neuroscience, report in the current issue of the journal Cerebral Cortex that the folk belief is true: Running does elicit a flood of endorphins in the brain. The endorphins are associated with mood changes, and the more endorphins a runner’s body pumps out, the greater the effect.
Of course I, like many others, have always known this is true. It’s an interesting, informative, somewhat pleasing article — so why did I say I love the article? Because I just got home from running! Yay for happy coincidences.
But if running gets you high perhaps we need to ban it. How can we allow Big Sneaker to peddle their Nikes and Reeboks to our children?
Hillary 4 Evah!
Haven’t updated this in a while, but a liberal friend wanted to see my blog. Let’s hope she stops reading after the first post.
I just want to say Hillary Clinton is great and deserves to win the presidency. She’s smart, tough, and experienced. I so want her to raise my taxes and regulate the hell out of me. Go Hillary!
