Ben & Jerry's celebrates Gay Marriage in Vermont

Ben & Jerry’s is temporarily renaming popular “Chubby Hubby” ice cream “Hubby Hubby” beginning today to celebrate the start of legalized gay marriage in its home state of Vermont.

“The legalization of marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Vermont is certainly a step in the right direction, and something worth celebrating with peace, love - and plenty of ice cream,” Ben & Jerry’s CEO Walt Freese said in announcing the sugary switch.

Ben & Jerry’s, which has long backed liberal causes, plans to rebrand “Chubby Hubby” as “Hubby Hubby” for 30 days to show support for Vermont’s new law.

The move is mostly symbolic, as Burlington-based Ben & Jerry’s isn’t changing labels on “Chubby Hubby” pints sold in stores.

Spokesman Sean Greenwood said revising product labels takes 18 months, although he said Ben & Jerry’s hasn’t ruled out retailing “Hubby Hubby” in the future.

Israeli textbooks to drop 'Nakba'

Israel's education ministry is to drop from an Arabic language textbook a term describing the creation of the state of Israel as "the catastrophe".

The Arabic word "nakba" has been used with Israeli-Arab pupils since 2007. It does not appear in Hebrew textbooks.

Education Minister Gideon Saar said no state could be expected to portray its own foundation as a catastrophe.

Israeli Arab MP Hana Sweid called the move an attack on Palestinian identity and collective memory.

The passage in question, which occurs in one textbook aimed at Arab children aged eight or nine, describes the 1948 war, which resulted in Israel's creation, in the following terms: "The Arabs call the war the Nakba - a war of catastrophe, loss and humiliation - and the Jews call it the Independence War."

The sentence was introduced when Yuli Tamir of the centre-left Labour party was education minister.

Chihuahuas and Cincinnati Police

Cincinnati police used physical means in an attempt to restrain a small dog after the dog allegedly attacked them and when that attempt failed they then tasered the dog and finally shot it to death with three bullets. The dog was a chihuahua, not unlike the ones in the accompanying picture. Look at the picture in this article and tell me you couldn't control a dog like those without shooting it to death?

The police involved in this incident are complete wusses. No excuse they could offer would be sufficient to justify, tasering or shooting to death, a small chihuahua dog.

They have once again, propped up the image of an american gun culture in which trigger happy cops shoot first and ask questions later. They have now destroyed a five-year-old boys happiness, who continually 'barks' for his lost beloved dog.

Shame on the Cincinatti police who perpetrated this ghastly killing and the Supervisors who defended it.

Off With Your Head - Crybabies Still Cry!!!

In a previous article, Off With Your Head for Personal Information, I inadvertently posted someone's actual personal information in thinking that all of the information was a fictitious joke. The dialogue included Just a Muslimah, Peacelover, Vixee, Jorg and some other chatters. Upon being informed that there was, in fact, someone's actual telephone number, I immediately removed the person's information and banned the person who passed the private message along. And many can confirm the removal of the telephone number.

I previously apologized, but take that back! Crybabies Cry! How about you kiss my ass while crying? LOL

Waaahhhh, Lord Voo posted someone's personal information...Waaah, Lord Voo wouldn't want that to happen to him....Waaah, Lord Voo is a despicable, atrocious and loathsome person...Waaah, Lord Voo is actually the person who made that entire pm up (lol wrong!)....Waaah, Lord Voo is a fake attorney and no one would act like that....Waaah, Waaah, Waaah, suck your mother's titty!

Now, I shall enjoy my tea.

Care for some?

Lord Voo

(Oh, Jacelyn, when I find it, I will post that, too! :) And room numbers have gone down? Actually, they have gone up! Mostly because the Voo haters give me free advertisement when they talk about me! LOL Not too bright! LOL)

Cheerio! lol

(I think I shall repost the article since it upset so many.)

Zimbabwe's Disgrace

This is a disgrace. Zimbabwe has appealed for help for its prisoners after a documentary exposed horrific conditions in the country's jails, the film's producer says.

The documentary went on to say that makeshift mortuaries had been built within the prison grounds of one Zimbabwean prison, where bodies of inmates "rotted on the floor with maggots moving all around". It seems to me that some citizens of Zimbabwe are not much better off than some of its prisoners, with starvation and disease common within the general population also.

Robert Mugabe must be the worst leader of any country in the world, he has single handedly brought Zimbabwe to its knees. This is the cumulative effect of neglect on a grand scale.
