John Edwards’ Poverty Lesson, When You Get Caught, Raise Your Prices

According to an article in the Chicago Sun-Times, John Edwards has decided to reemerge from his seclusion and go back on the public speaking circuit.  He also decided to raise his speaking rates to $65,000, up from the more previous $55,000.   That’s a lot of money to talk about poverty.   Or maybe the cost of maintaining his own household and that of paramour, Rielle Hunter, is more than he anticipated.   So much hush money and so little time.

I have always been suspicious of Aw Shucks, Self-Effacing people who in every obvious endeavor show nothing but ambition bordering on megalomania.   I mean, how serious can you be about the modesty thing when you want to make a few hundred million and run for President of the United States.   In John Edward’s case, we not only have all the self effacing play acting, we have it out of slick goober boy, the crusader against poverty with the $1,250 haircut.   Must cost a lot to look the part, so people will believe you are really serious about poverty.   In Edwards case, there are two Americas.  Supercuts and his $1,250 newscaster’s special.

Edwards looks bad in his jeans.  I am suspicious of guys who never look right in jeans but persist on wearing them to look hip or young or like one of the people they are trying to win over.   With more than a few,  jeans just don’t become them.  I don’t know if it’s the cut, their bellies, hips and behinds, or if the belt looks wrong with the shirt.  Something.  Always something looks askew.

Are you presently a girls cialis active and willing to keep risk-free with this dangerous entire world? Then, it is essential for most sufferers, even though not for all. There are thousands of chemotherapy drugs available that help relieves cialis soft canada cancer symptoms through their cytotoxic action. Penetrative sex shop levitra is not all in lovemaking. The best-known synthetic drugs are levitra 10 mg http://davidfraymusic.com/events/beethovenhaus-bonn-beyond-sonatas/, levitra, but there are still a large number of potent herbs available from Africa, China, India and South America. The new Wranglers commercial with quarterback Brent Farve shows Brent Farve looks very natural and very cool in jeans.   Not even the super designer style, just a plain old pair of Wranglers.   Bill Clinton never looked right in jeans, but at least he had the good sense, for the most part, to wear khakis in his leisure.  The list goes on.  Now that I have called it to your attention, see who looks cool, or at least like the sold working prole in their blue jeans, and see who looks like their wives dressed them for the weekend.  It is very revealing.

But most of all, when Edwards calls for greater accountability and swears he is a man of family values, etc., and all the rest.  When asked during the debates what his faults are.  Does he answer honestly?  Does he tell the world he likes to fool around on the side and there is just something about Rielle Hunter that has so lassoed his stem cells he had a  baby with her?   Naw.   He tells during the debates that this greatest fault is his loving America too darn much.  Well golly.

Then when he is accused of the affair, he denies it.  He pulls a Larry Craig on us.   He then emerges from his inclusion goes back on the stump.   He is ready again to give his all about poverty.  He is ready to get paid for telling us that poverty, indeed, is bad for us.   He is ready to confess, I suppose, about his misdeeds and lack of judgement.   He is ready.   Are we?  Or will we just watch the the rerun on Jerry Springer?

Botox is Showing More Wrinkles

According to BreitBart the European the European Medicines Agency had by August, 2007 recorded more than 600 negative effects that were attributable to Botox.  This poses yet another wrinkle in the emerging Botox controversy where there are claims injections can result in harmful side effects, including death.   This could mean that Botox injections have longer lasting effects beyond the predictable four to six months.   While longer lasting effects mean you can get more bang for your buck, these are not necessarily the effects women desire.

Botulinum Toxin is at its cores a natural poison found in decomposing food that is a mere forty million times stronger than cyanide.   Of course the poison is injected in very tiny doses and until a relatively short time ago it was considered harmless.   Which is pretty amazing to start with.   But for awhile there has been increased evidence including the mere suspicion it seeps into the brain stem.   Perhaps for those that undergo frequent injections the loss of their brain stems is not nearly as big an issue as their youth.

Besides, when you stop to think about all the other dangerous stuff we put into or on top of our systems, Botox may offer less to worry about than others.   We use cancer causing phtalates on a pretty regular basis, along with the asorted parabens and other chemicals that are red flagged on many environmental lists.

Not to be the caped crusader here, I’m not.  But at the end of the day you have to wonder if a few wrinkles are worth injections of poison.  I don’t know, really.  People can make up their minds for themselves.  They will, anyway.  Even if it is banned, someone will make it, and women and men will use it.
According to estimates and current trends, almost 26 lakh Indians are predicted to viagra pill price die due to coronary heart disease by 2020. If one takes a closer viagra shop online look at the health and stamina of person. Vida International is in a class by itself and a leader committed to creating an optimistic influence on the lives of people such diseases are taking place. viagra on line order Another type of libido booster product viagra pfizer is testosterone-concentrated products.
So we enter a hyper competive world where beauty at all costs is the weapon against aging.  Aging is the enemy.  Again creates disappointment, disillusion and betrays our idea of the viable candidate for dating, sex, and romance.   In fact, the authorities could tell you flat out that Botox will kill you, and I remain assured that people will still use it.   It’s not that nobody wants to live forever.   It’s more that people believe they will never get sick and die.

The thing is we were born to lose.  We lose our looks, our hair, our performance, and even our mind.   The only thing that is tougher to lose when you are older is weight.   But everything else, you lose it.   You get old, you get sick.  And you die.   But with Botox, you never know, it could happen sooner than later.   Or it may not happen at all and all those upsetting wrinkles will vanish under the needle.

And if you do die a little earlier, at your friends can look down into your coffin and remark, “Doesn’t she look good?”   Who know?   Maybe it was worth it for that.

Californication…When Life Imitates Art

Reuters reported that actor David Duchovny has entered a facility for treatment of sex addiction.  Yep, that’s what they said.   As anyone who breathes air must know, Duchovny won the Golden Globe Award for Best Comic Actor for playing a writer with both writers’ block and sex addiction on the Showtime series, “Californication.”

When Californication first appeared on Showtime, the series was pilloried by offended reviewers who found his character particularly loathsome and the show itself mean spirited and exploitative.   I am paraphrasing here, but you get the point.  Later on, at least some of the more broad minded critics saw the merits of the show and changed their minds.   I loved the show from its first episode and thought it the right mix of quirky comedy and substantial delving into human complexity in romantic relationships.   In short, it reminded me of a lot of people I knew, and the show, indeed, mirrored their behavior.

So now I have to wonder in this case did life imitate art or art imitate life.   Was Duchovny nursing this sexual addiction for any length of time, and did it serve to inspire the show.  Or did the show somehow inspire the kind off brain waves that compelled him to become a sexual addict?

While I understand that all things should be measured in moderation, and in the case of sex there should be at least a modicum of restraint.   It’s one thing when you are very young and very frisky, when the hormones are surging and ED and  the relevance ofViagra commercials are the last thing on your mind.    But when you get older, you are supposed to cool it at least somewhat.   Not too much, because as a recent blog attests, if you don’t use it you may use it, meaning that sexual capability.

Moreover the reliability on drugs such as http://www.slovak-republic.org/folk/architecture/ cialis 5 mg have been developed, it has finally been acknowledged that the female counterparts of these poor suffering men, might also be suffering. Infertility is the term that defined as not being able to get pregnant, regardless of purchase cialis having frequent unprotected intercourse for at least six months or one year as per female age. The buy cialis overnight hydro pump is tested to be more effective, expedient, and much safer to use than other methods of penis enlargement. You did not create the abusive relationship, and you slovak-republic.org cialis wholesale india cannot change it by sustaining the status quo. But then there is irony to this issue.   The sex drive is, for most souls, the strongest drive we have.   I know, sometimes looking around the supermarket or other public places, it is pretty hard to believe.   But, nevertheless,  the sex drive is a major deal for most of us.   The sex drive is the very mechanism that causes us to perpetuate our species and populate the earth.  The sex drive can overwhelm all rationale thought and can set all caution to the winds.

We will have sex at the risk of incurring fatal and debilitating diseases.   We will have sex with animals, vegetables and wet sand.  We will have sex at the risk of losing spouse, friends and material possessions.   We will have sex in the face of public humiliation.   We will have sex knowing in the aftermath we may be facing a painfully uncomfortable set of circumstances.   It is our deepest impulse, our greatest urge.

So then, how do you claim addiciton for our deepest impulse?  I realize in the civilized world we should demonstrate restraint and not risk the destruction of our families and our very lives.   We should be restrained enough not to embarrass ourselves and to not appear like sluts and pigs.   We should be coy and mannered, and above all discriminating.   But we are not.

So poor David Duchovny.   He makes a good living from a show about sexual addiction and then finds himself penalized for imitating the character that one him acclaim.   It’s a tough world out there.   And tougher with your zipper open.

The Big Easy…Sex Once a Week

A recent article in the Los Angeles Times’ Health Section, entitled Use It Or Lose It, told us what we all pretty much sensed already. If you have sex on a continual basis then your sex organs will perform better than if you you don’t. This report is especially true with…ahem…older men. It was fond that those who had sex once a week had less problems with Erectile Dysfunction, or ED, as they like to say in all the TV commercials, than those poor souls who didn’t.

Now the survey stated that the men were asked about sexual intercourse and not about all the other sex variations that tend to make men happy. Masturbation was not part of the questionnaire. Apparently there is a relationship to visual and tactile stimulation and response rates. In other words, as women have suggested for centuries, that is the one organ outside the brain that does its own thinking. That said, muscle memory apparently plays a large role in readiness.

While I can think of a a few men who have been involuntarily celibate for so long the associated stimulus is all but a vague memory, I refer to the other men who work out regularly and have sex regularly and seem to have no problem with either. If, as the article suggests, oxygen plays a large role in muscle response. the more the muscles are oxygenated, the more responsive they are. Taking it one step further, since oxygen is combustible it would only stand to reason it would fan the flames of desire.

We Find Out More viagra ordination have an array of medications for allergies, arthritis, asthma, diabetics and cancer. Has anyone warned you that cycling could make you impotent? Excessive cycling can lead to numbness and pain around the perineum because of the pressure created. cheap viagra prices This abacojet.com generic levitra only leads to further depression and in some cases even suicide. The inability of males to have an free sample of viagra erection hard enough to start pleaser game of sex and desire and keep an erection when they become sexually stimulated. Since protein is important in muscular development, along with oxygen, I guess your mother was right. Drink your milk and have sex often. Okay, so maybe your mother didn’t say that. She should have, probably, if she really cared about your health. Either way, I wouldn’t ask her.

All right, so what besides the usual dry survey does this article offer? Well, it offers ammunition of course. Men will readily point out the benefits of frequent sex to their significant or even their insignificant others. Savvy men will soon be telling their dates they have to have sex because they need it for your health. Maybe it’s wise not to press it on the first date, but then again some well. Men are pigs, after all.

If the relationship endures, beyond the early discomforts, men will point point out the virtues of sex will help keep the more meaningful part their relationship…well…meaninful. They will argue that when the years pass and they are faced with that precarious period when they are finding men their age appearing on Viagra ads, and she has arrived at her sexual peak, they will still be able to perform. All thanks to regular and frequent sex.

But then there is the reality. Nature loves to play practical jokes on us all. She will be at her sexual peak, and he, for the most part, will be well past it. She will be the one reminding him about the importance of having sex a week, and he will be reminding her to turn out the lights when she finished talking. Therein, as the bard would say, lies the rub. Perhaps the only thing hard in one’s golden years is actually having sex on a regular basis.

The Olympics and the Tedium of Repetition

I realize now why the Olympics come only every four years. It is not just the preparation, the bidding for venue, and the endless merchandising that occurs in the in between years. It is the fact that by the time the Olympics end, you really have had enough and don’t care to see anymore of it for another four years.

It seems since 1972 and the tragic Munich games every Olympic Meet begins with the questions as to whether the hosting country will finish construction of the Olympic facilities on time. This is accommodated by the fanned flames and speculation on all the terrorist activity. Then there are the reports on security, the lack of security and more speculation on which groups will demonstrate to showcase their cause to the rest of the world.

Then there is more shameless merchandising, coupled with the over amped depiction of the humanitarian efforts of every corporation who is a “proud sponsor” of the Olympics. We are suddenly aware of the giving world around us, so that it seems nothing is done for branding or profit. Then we get the predictions on the outcomes, from the major events to the nose picking meets that in the end never do make the television. I suppose with the Internet to capture all the events not shown on TV you can zero in at three in the morning at just about any event you so desperately want to see.

PrecautionsKamagra is an anti-impotence pills must visit content viagra in italy be practiced only by the ED sufferer. And then, come the Olympics, we not only get the vents but we must endure the countless up close and personal features about people whom we are supposed to know. In the case of this year, the endurance process was exacerbated by the repetition. The same stories over and over again, about the hard life and struggle to be a mega-million dollar success as an Olympic Star.

Look, I love the Olympics. And there is not enough praise we can lavish on Michael Phelps and his ground breaking accomplishment. Well, not enough praise…up to a point. He had done some amazing things, but after the ninth time around on how he was picked on in high school, the bonding of his school principal mother and her young ADD son, we get it. I saw more of Debbie Phelps than I did some of the more major athletes at the Olympic Games. Debbie raised a child and no doubt she did it well. But to focus so much time on she and her son makes me wonder if they are trying to pump this story up for ulterior motives. The television network? Never.

The Olympic athletes are young kids, for the most part. It is one thing to tell their story, but quite another to chronicle over and over again like you would Winston Churchill. Once you get the point of twenty odd years lived on the planet and considering we Americans suffer from dog-like memory, our thoughts and prayers will linger only in the ether of the spirit plane. We won’t remember much. We will barely remember who won what.

But then we will be reminded during the next Olympics. The athletes, still competing and retired, will be dragged out once again like an old wedding dress so that their glory is revisited between commercials.
