Damn, these old broads look like the nuns who taught me in grade school! I still think we should take sex out of the homes and schools and put it back in the pool halls and porn shops where it belongs.

February 24, 2012 – 300 days Until Baktun 12
Survivalist Tip: In the upheaval of the apocalypse, many people probably will have guns, or at least slingshots. Regardless, you should have body armor in your cache of survivalist gear in the event you encounter a gun battle with your foes; meaning any politicians or celebrities who manage to survive the fury. Body armor is classified into Levels I, II, or III. This means: okay, good, or invincible. Obviously, you need to buy Level III body armor. What?! Did you think I’d say just pick one?! Level III body armor is 100% stab proof, almost 100% bullet proof and about 82.5% odor proof. (The latter figure refers to the ability of the armor to protect your skin from the foul smell of rotting carcasses.) For the fashion-conscious, it also comes in 3 colors: black, ebony and onyx. Not that you should care! But, I’m sure amidst the tumult, some women or nelly gay men will make that an issue. Black is my favorite color anyway, so I’ll be happy no matter what. As with anything, you never know what the apocalyptic aftermath may bring. It won’t necessarily bring any law and order, but it will definitely bring tax relief.

Judge Orders Man to Apologize Over Facebook Rant
In a clear case of free speech violations, a judge in Ohio has ordered a man to apologize to his estranged wife for a Facebook post he made in the midst of a heated divorce battle (when are divorce battles ever cool?), or go to jail. Mark Byron vented his frustrations over the entire ordeal by stating, in part:
“…if you are an evil, vindictive woman who wants to ruin your husbands life and take your son’s father away from him completely – all you need to do is say that you’re scared of your husband or domestic partner…”
Even though Byron had blocked his wife from his Facebook page (so you know it was serious!), she somehow saw the post and subsequent comments made by others. That violated a restraining order she’d placed on him. So, the judge, in turn, commanded Byron to post an apology every day for 30 consecutive days, or be incarcerated for 60 days. Byron chose the apology scenario obviously in order to avoid jail time, but more importantly, so he could visit his son.
Men have enough stacked against them when they enter child custody battles without being told what to say or how to feel. But, Byron is right: all a woman has to do in our politically correct society these days is say that a man abused her somehow – or even just threatened to abuse her – and he’s in trouble. The legal precedent of innocent until proven guilty has been subverted by the feminist left in recent decades where men accused of sexual and / or physical abuse are presumed guilty until they prove themselves not guilty as charge.

Quote of the Day
“I don’t think we’ve seen in the history of this country the kind of attack on religious freedom we’ve seen in Barack Obama most recently requiring the Catholic Church to provide for its employees and its various enterprises health care insurance that would include birth control, sterilization and the morning after pill. He tried to retreat from that, but he retreated in a way that was not appropriate, because these insurance companies have to provide these same things, and now the Catholic Church will have to pay for them.”
– Newt Gingrich at the GOP debate in Mesa, AZ, February 22
Fact check: the Catholic Church is exempt from Obama’s contraception mandate.

1966 Citroen DS/ID
I’ve always liked the look of an older model Citroen and don’t know why they never gathered much popularity in the U.S. I fell in love with it when I got a Hot Wheels model of a 1960’s era Citroen as a kid. The first series of Citroens were produced from 1955 to 1965, but the second group – manufactured from 1966 to 1975 – appears to have some significant advantages. Starting in 1966, the Citroen DS/ID engine had more horsepower with upgraded transmissions and axles. The front disc brakes – still relatively new in 1966 – were improved and easier to service. These adjustments made the Citroen more reliable and allowed it to perform better. There are an estimated 2,000 to 2,500 Citroen DS/ID cars in the U.S. today.
