Gosh, what is an ultrarunner to do with all the lost and blackened toenails from those 100-milers? Why, make a necklace, of course!

I kid you not - below is a picture of Jan Ryerse' toenail necklace that he made from the remnants of his Badwater, Western States, and other expeditions. He also takes donations if you would like to send yours in.

Jan was mentioned in an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about ultrarunning today that has a great section on the health effects. Quotes:

Todd Cade, assistant professor of physical therapy and medicine at Washington University, says distance running promotes cardiopulmonary health while lowering blood pressure and lipids. It also raises HDL, the good cholesterol, and has a powerful positive effect on bone-mineral density and body mass index. "But once you start running more than 10 miles at a time, there are some negative effects," he says. "Evidence suggests that there's musculo-skeletal damage, cartilage damage and increased whole-body inflammatory markers. The immune system is weakened immediately after a marathon, and there appears to be cardiac muscle damage and diminished cardiac function immediately afterward. Liver enzymes also increase, which can lead to liver damage."

You can also see a pic of Jan wearing his toenail necklace. Dee-sgusting! But he sounds like a classic quirky ultramarathoner.

More on the ACLU Child Porn Case the Media Has Decided You're Not Interested IN .......

Last Week I posted a link to story out of Virginia about the former ACLU Chapter Prez who was busted on Child Porn Charges.

Have you heard anything about this? Nope. Not a damn thing. My guess is, you're not going to either.

Well, it appears that it's not just "Child Porn" either - Ace of Spades reported yesterday (via link to Riehl World View) that - "It's Worse Than You Thought."

"What's worse than videos of the rape/torture of children?
How about videos of the rape/torture of infants and toddlers? ".

Ace, correctly notes, that the MSM had no problem running wall to wall, non-stop coverage of Ted Haggard and Mark Foley. Both cases of non-criminal (but disgusting) behaviour when it suited their purposes.

They don't seem to have problem turning a blind eye to behaviour like this when it involves the ACLU, one of the Lefts' sacred institutions.

Jeebus, I hate this shit. I'm guessing they'll toss this guy under the bus and hope to keep a lid on it. This sorta thing wouldn't reflect well on the people and the Party that does everything under the guise of, "For the Children". It may draw attention to the ACLU Policy To Legalize Child Porn Distribution.

Shit. Can't have that.

Here's Some Really Interesting Shit Regarding Al Gore and His "Carbon Offsets" ......

It wasn't like I had any doubt about Al Gore and his Global Warming Crusade being a sham. Now We get to see how that bastard pays His Monthly Electric Bill of $1,200.

I don't begrudge a guy spending his money any way he wants. But he claims he buys "Carbon Offsets" to help balance out all the Kilowatts he sucks up. OK, how's that work?

Here's how Bill Hobbs explains it -

"So far, so good. But how Gore buys his "carbon offsets," as revealed by The Tennessean raises serious questions. According to the newspaper's report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management:

Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe..."

Yep, that slimy shitbag is buying credits from his own company. The Hobbs Article covers all of this shit in much more detail.

I would urge you to read up on this so you'll be properly edumacated about just how these shitheads work.

Why is it that the more I see Gore, the more I'm reminded of Reverend Ike

I Need Some Technical Help Here ..........

Ok, here's the deal. Steve at Hog on Ice Finally got his BOOK published and released.
















First of all. Go buy a copy or 2. The book is his response to the Nigerian spam artists who clog all of our email boxes with BS claims to riches. I've read a lot of it that was posted on his site over the last year or two. It's really funny.

So what I want to do is put up a banner on the sidebar with a link and the picture of the cover as you see above.

So which of you Einsteins can help me out with this? Please advise and if necessary, you can have the keys to the place. If you promise not to get stupid that is.

Thanks.

BTW - I just went and bought a copy. So you cheap Bastids can too!
