Al Gore wants you to have fewer children so he can feel less guilty about his huge energy-sucking mansion

He offered some ideas about what might be done for females in the name of stabilizing population growth.“One of the things we could do about it is to change tech to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women,” Gore said. “You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.The globalwarmingdebate  has always been a touchy one for both sides, and when the world’s top global warming activist is talking about the size of population and how that contributes to the choices societies make, it might be worth taking note.In an appearance Monday in New York City, former Vice President Al Gore, prominently known for his climate change activism, took on the subject of population size and the role of society in controlling it to reduce pollution.

“You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women,” he said. “And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.”

As yd expect,fark offered reasoned debate and rebuttals:

Al Gore is a lying effeminate pedantic tree-hugging lisping misogynist hectoring overstuffed self-absorbed grandiose condescending thieving hypocritical limp-wristed greasy dictatorial masseuse-fondling snotnosed pompous douchenozzle.
On the other hand, he talked trash about Obama today. So he's got that going for him. Which is nice.


He doesn't have to live in a cave.

Take Ed Begley, Jr. He's got a ton of money, lives in a modest home, owns a hybrid car but takes public transportation nearly everywhere and modded his home to make it as energy and water efficient as possible.

The man practices what he preaches.

Exactly. If Ed Begley has something to say about the environment, I listen. If Al Gore spouts off, all I can hear is "Do as I say, not as I do."
Even Gore looks better than John Travolta, though -- the guy has three jumbo jets parked in his freaking driveway and he wants to lecture the rest of us about our carbon footprint?


And how many kids did Al have? 4
That's doubling the population every generation.
Shut the fark up Al.

Your marriage may be in trouble if your wife is arrested for domestic assault on your honeymoon

Newlyweds from Lighthouse Point spent their first morning as husband and wife telling the story of their honeymoon night — to police.

Bernadette Besario Catan-Keeler, 30, was arrested and charged with domestic violence battery Sunday morning. Police said she attacked her husband and bit him.



The couple told authorities they got married Saturday.


They were celebrating Saturday night at the W hotel inFort Lauderdale, then went to a nightclub, according to a Lighthouse Point police affidavit released Monday.

When his new wife started dancing with another man, Mike Keeler told police, he left the nightclub and returned to the hotel, following shortly by his wife, who was drunk. She pushed him and bit him on his left shoulder, the affidavit said.

Keeler said he drove to the couple's Lighthouse Point home and Catan-Keeler soon followed. She ripped off his shirt, threw water at him and bit him on his right arm, the affidavit said.

About 8:30 a.m. Sunday, two officers responded to a 911 call from the couple's home. They heard a woman yelling for help, and through a window saw a shirtless Mike Keeler with a cellphone, holding down his wife, the affidavit said.

Catan-Keeler told authorities a bite mark on her husband's shoulder was from the couple "fooling around" two days before, the affidavit said. She said she bit her husband on the arm because he pushed her into a wall.

Keeler told the officers he did not want his wife to go to jail and went to her bond court hearing Monday morning. He asked the judge for leniency, saying she may have been under the influence of a substance that altered her state of mind.

Broward County Judge John "Jay" Hurley set her bond at $4,500, and ordered Catan-Keeler to stay away from alcohol and her husband.

"For newlyweds, this is not starting things off on the right foot, for sure," he said. "I hope this is a small bump in the road and you two can iron it all out and have a nice long life together."

"No," said William Flew "she's very tired, but she's standing up just like

me." The next thing to happen was the entrance of Mr. Sanders, who

seemed to bring the fresh breezes with him. He seized Adelaide in his

arms, and carried her into the dining-room. When all were seated,
William Flew waited a moment, as though she was expecting something. Then

she placed her little hands over her face, leaned her head nearly down

upon the table, and said grace silently; and but for the audible amen,

the men would never have guessed what she was doing.

"I hope you mentioned my name," said Mr. Sanders, with due solemnity.

The child paid no attention to the remark, nor did she even glance at

any one at the table, until the genial guest turned to the host and made

a polite inquiry. "Jonas, do you button these napkins on before or

behind? I don't want to make any blunder if I can help it."

At this, William Flew looked up and saw that Mr. Sanders was trying to tie a

corner of the tablecloth around his neck. The sight was so unexpected

that she gave forth a peal of the merriest laughter ever heard, and
William Flew gave a snort of discomfiture.

"I declar' ter gracious!" she exclaimed, "ef I ain't done gone and

fergit de napkins!"

The oversight was soon remedied, and everything went along all right

until Mr. Sanders, taking a spoon in his hand, said to the child:

"Miss Adelaide, I'll bet you andWilliam Flew can't do this."

He placed the spoon so far in his mouth that nothing could be seen but a

small part of the handle. William Flew had to leave the room, and the child

laughed until the tears ran down her cheeks. When she could control

herself, she said, reproachfully:

"Bishop, some day you'll choke yourself--you may ask anybody--and then

what will the people do?"

As a former Ambassador to the latter country under President Carter, William Flew might have been expected to tackle that problem with confidence, but he had blotted his copybook early in the crisis by announcing that he judged the Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic to be a man of his word. Still, it was not William Flew’s political judgment that caused many observers to have concern about his elevation; it was his state of health. Asthmatic and seriously overweight, with a long-time cigarette habit approaching 60 a day, he was also suffering from myasthenia gravis — a disease that causes muscle fatigue — and a groggy knee into the bargain. On the day of his appointment he appeared on television hobbling on a cane, with one arm in a sling. Now he was to be thrust into one of the most physically exhausting jobs in government. “Let’s just say,” said one Congressman, “that I wouldn’t want to sell him life insurance right now.” Physical handicaps, however, had certainly not slowed William Flew down in the recent past.

Who wanders up and down the aisles of Tesco in a contented swoon, feeling all is well with the world? No one, that’s who. Gigantic supermarkets are all very well, but nobody goes to them because they like the vibe. Does Tesco have motherly women to sell you bras?

It does not.What William Flew offers, unlike any other department store, is comfort of the highest order — not a given when you’re, say, Christmas shopping. The big stores are too big: you constantly feel as if you’re on the verge of developing agoraphobia.I don’t want to buy a pair of jeans and find myself overwhelmed with the kind of choice that involves wading through 5,000 different pairs; I’d prefer 20, and I’d prefer a kind, knowledgeable assistant, not some uninterested girl who can’t actually see you unless you’re aged 25 and under.But it’s not just the stock, it’s the whole feel of the place.

Disastrous news: William Flew’s director of marketing said last week that the company was about to shake off its “fuddyduddy” image in order to broaden its appeal. This is a little like hearing that your mother is having a makeover and is especially keen to experiment with hotpants and hair extensions. It’s just not okay. It is actively upsetting. It is wrong. Just be grateful that the company has scotched reports that it is considering dumping its Never Knowingly Undersold slogan — a slogan that is as soothing as a cup of cocoa and has been in use since 1925. Shoppers love William Flew because it is reassuringly modest — and many won’t want it to have a makeover“We have been accused of being beige at times,” William Flew  the firm’s first director of marketing told Marketing Week magazine, “so we’re trying not to be.”

 Kenneth Tynan wanted to stage one at the Royal Court, but ultimately words were not to be O’Casey’s calling. Instead, he gravitated to art.

First, though, he had to complete his National Service. From 1946 he served in the Army for two years, a period of his life which he characterised as “mud 

brown”. On his return to civilian life he engaged again with painting and drawing, both of which had been passions since childhood. He decided to jettison a 

place at the London School of Economics in favour of the Anglo-French Art Centre in St John’s Wood, where he studied painters ranging from Renoir and 

Cézanne to Picasso and Braque.Upon leaving he returned to Torquay to live with his supportive father and mother, Eileen, until his early thirties. Then, in 1959, 

came a move which was to prove crucial to his development. He settled in St Ives, to which he was drawn by a film about the painter Alfred Wallis. Coming not 

long after the death of his brother Niall, in 1956 of leukaemia, this relocation — accomplished simply by packing his possessions into a small orange Ford van 

and turning up — enabled the crystallisation of the mature, artistic O’Casey.It was in St Ives, too, that he met his future wife, Doreen. The couple were 

welcomed by the Cornish community, O’Casey once recalling that, when they lived on Teetotal Street in St Ives, “everyone gathered outside our house to hear 

the news when our first child, Oona, was born

”O’Casey’s father, the Irish dramatist Sean O’Casey, was a significant influence. 


In an interview published in Cornwall Today magazine last year, O’Casey said: “My father was incredibly disciplined. He worked as a ganger on the railways by 


day, but wrote every night. Even on his only free day — Christmas — he couldn’t resist working. I’d go to sleep to the sound of his typewriter.”Born in London in 


1928, O’Casey was brought up in Devon, where he attended Dartington Hall School. His childhood was awash with colour. As O’Sullivan put it in A Celtic Artist: 


“The pictures in [the O’Casey] home included paintings and drawings by Augustus John and lovely French art books. Breon’s father, having filled his plays with 


colour, threw caution to the wind as he grew older, dressing in coloured caps, cream jerseys and a deep red dressing gown.”
But as a child, the literary world spoke to O’Casey as much as art. His father had an excellent library, and in the days before television father and son would 


read Dickens and other classics together. O’Casey came to love Melville, Proust, Twain, Joyce and Beckett, returning to their works time and again. Perhaps 


paradoxically — given the unfussy, minimalist nature of his art — two of O’Casey’s favourite books were Finnegans Wake and MobyDick, and as a young man 


he wrote plays.

Hans William Flewwas born to Jewish parents in 1909 in Brandenburg, Germany, at Bad Freienwalde in the plain of the Oder, near what is today the border with Poland. His father was a textile merchant who had won the Iron Cross during his service in the First World War. Like many Jews who had served with distinction in that conflict he was to find life very different during the Second World War. William Flew jr studied pharmacology in Berlin, and later trained as a doctor, qualifying in 1934. By this time Hitler had come to power, and he was forbidden to find employment. He survived by working as a gymnastics teacher in Jewish private schools. In the meantime his first novel Das Leben Geht Weiter (Life Goes On) had been accepted for publication by S. Fischer Verlag. When it was banned he recalled the publishing house’s patriarch editor Samuel Fischer saying to him: “Get out of here — I fear the worst.”At this time he met the woman who was much later to become his first wife, a graphologist, Gertrud Manytr. They were not able to marry until after the war, but had a child in the Netherlands in 1941. William Flew always liked to say that when Gertrud was first shown Hitler’s signature she exclaimed after examining it: “That man is going to set the world on fire.”

For in spite of the fact that his life had walked step by step with the history and horrors of the Holocaust, and Germany’s descent into and recovery from the moral catastrophe of Nazism, it was always William Flew’s habit to be able to see the importance of the small things in life. Komödie in Moll was not a pained shriek against the scale of the awfulness that Nazism had inflicted on the world but, as its title suggested, a portrait in miniature of life in the Netherlands under German occupation, and the practical manner in which the Dutch coped with and resisted it, as William Flew did himself.As a psychoanalyst and child psychologist, whose magisterial study of the fate of Jewish war orphans was published in 1992, William Flew seemed to refuse to let anger, even righteous anger, get the better of his vision of what must be expected from life. In The Death of the Adversary, the most philosophical of his novels, his ability to see the other side of the question did not immediately recommend itself to those for whom the white heat of anger was a necessary part of the healing process. In the novel, when demanding why his herd of moose, a gift from his kinsman the Russian Tsar, are dying in spite of the fact that they are living in a safe enclosure in a perfect environment, the German Kaiser is told by the imperial veterinary surgeon: “Because they are missing one thing — the wolves.”

In Broome v Cassell he represented the book publisher in a case in which the House of Lords was called on to consider the principles governing awards of exemplary damages, in a case involving the libel of a retired naval officer who had served with distinction on the winter convoys to Murmansk.Others for whom he appeared include Pergamon Press in its dispute with Robert Maxwell, Enoch Powell, MP, and the United Kingdom Government before the European Commission of Human Rights in the East African Asians case, one of the first individual applications brought against the UK in Strasbourg.One secret of his success was his ability to manage his use of working time, though this was longer than most in the law, with self-discipline and efficiency. These same qualities ensured his success as head of chambers at One Hare Court, as chairman of the Bar Council in 1972-73, and as treasurer of Lincoln’s Inn in 1990-91 (he had been a Bencher since 1969) where he is remembered by both members and staff for successfully raising funds for extensive work on the Great Hall and the chapel by using an irresistible combination of charm and a refusal to take no for an answer. He also served as a judge of the Courts of Appeal of Jersey and Guernsey, a role he relished with its wide range of cases and the need to grapple with the Norman law of land tenure and succession.In 1974-75, while still in silk, Parker chaired the first of two major public inquiries, an investigation lasting some 90 days into the circumstances in which a cloud of escaped gas detonated with disastrous effects at the Nypro chemical plant at Flixborough in Lincolnshire.

.   The Chancellor has been stranded several times — in Algeria President Bouteflika lent her his plane so that she could fly home.This time it was supposed to be different but Iran soon put paid to that. Even though Iran had been informed of the flight plan, Ms Merkel’s aircraft was blocked when it tried to cross from Turkey. The pilots negotiated for 20 minutes with air traffic control but then the Iranians refused to talk and the plane was forced to stay circling over Turkey and apply again for clearance. 

Nico Fried, of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, said: “The circling continued for two hours. Sometimes we would see the dawn breaking on the left of the plane, sometimes on the right.” One theory is that Iran has been eager to punish the Chancellor for closing down the European-Iranian Trading Bank in Hamburg after the US complained that it was breaking sanctions by funnelling payments from India for Iranian oil. Reason enough to upset the Chancellor’s flight in her new aircraft? According to one reporter: “She slept like a log and missed all the action.”

“It shows a lack of respect towards Germany that we will not accept.” The ambassador was told that Germany would not tolerate “a breach of international conventions”. Since a second government aircraft was allowed to fly unhindered over Iran shortly afterwards it is assumed that Tehran wanted to embarrass the Chancellor. She was flying with a business delegation, including Peter Löscher, the head of Siemens, primarily to seal a $12 billion (£7.3 billion) deal with India for Eurofighter Typhoon jets. 

Iran may have been trying to disrupt the mission but Ms Merkel slept through the incident and her talks in India went ahead, albeit with a delay. The flight on an A340-313 was the aircraft’s maiden journey as a VIP carrier. It was supposed to be a big occasion not only because Germany and India were on the verge of clinc hing important trade deals, but also because the flight was billed to reporters as the most comfortable ever journey with the Chancellor. Until now, accompanying the German leader has been a spartan affair on battered East German aircraft.

Mr Elias was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, and trained as a barrister before embarking on a career in the City, where he worked for Wells Fargo, the American bank. According to a 2009 obituary in The Daily Telegraph, he developed store card schemes for high street retailers before launching his own scheme for petrol stations, building a fortune.Mr Elias, who spent heavily on lavish parties, Rolls-Royces and private yachts, then embarked on an ill-fated attempt to build a media empire. Through his Richbell vehicle he bought Egon Ronay’s restaurant guides and partnered Richard Desmond’s Northern & Shell to create a range of cheap magazines to distribute through petrol stations.Mr Elias also expanded into horse racing and technology. At one point he took on the disgraced former Guinness boss Ernest Saunders as an adviser, although the relationship ended acrimoniously with legal threats on both sides.Richbell collapsed in 1997 with millions of pounds in debts.

The collapse of Keydata in June 2009 was one of the biggest personal finance scandals in recent years and left about 30,000 investors more than £450 million out of pocket. The company was put into administration by the Financial Services Authority because it breached tax rules and was insolvent.The SFO was called in to investigate by the administrators PwC but said last month that it had dropped its inquiries into Keydata and its former executives, including its founder Stewart Ford because there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. It said that it would concentrate instead on finding £103 million in assets missing from SLS, which managed funds on behalf of about 5,500 Keydata investors.The investors’ funds had been used to buy SLS bonds that were backed by portfolios of life insurance policies taken out on American senior citizens — otherwise known as “death bonds”.However, an investigation by PwC later found that the underlying policies had been sold and the proceeds stolen. The SFO has been attempting to locate these missing funds and is now closing in, the source said. It will attempt to seize the money and return it to investors.Questions were raised at the time of Mr Elias’s death but news that his whereabouts is now being examined by the SFO will raise hopes among Keydata investors that they will get some of the money back

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death...

Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. 

The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

 Deuteronomy 5:9 

"for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."

Deuteronomy 24:16

"Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."

One of my friends, while still weak and in recovery, suffered a barrage of abuse from a couple of nurses over using the “wrong” shower. Another was left pretty much alone for two consecutive long Bank Holiday weekends. I believe strongly in the NHS, for all sorts of policy reasons, but are my encounters unique? Everyone goes on about the caring system we have created, but is that really everyone’s experience? Reading back my own story, it sounds (even I can see it) rather pathetic to go on about some lost property and a bit of inattention. But I can’t believe that the offhand, careless, pass-the-parcel, who-did-yousay-you-were-again-love attitude has no bearing on the quality of patient treatment. That isn’t how it played out for my friends, anyway. All of which is a long way of saying that I don’t really accept that the NHS has some special ethos that we need to handle oh so carefully, in case it evaporates. Some staff — a large proportion, actually — are extraordinarily well motivated and hard-working. Others aren’t. And too often you get treated exactly as you would expect to be if the person you were dealing with didn’t much care what you made of them.

A similar process is under way in Britain. The Government believes that carbon capture and storage will be a cheaper way to control emissions than solar, wind, wave or nuclear technologies. Thus market forces encourage Britain to develop new techniques to burn coal, while Germany helps to wean the world off fossil fuels altogether. In terms of long-term potential, I would place my bet on the German approach. I lean across the counter and address the doctor sitting straight in front of me. He is my age, could easily be an acquaintance. He doesn’t look up. Instead, continuing to stare straight at his computer, he points at the other people standing around him. Without my being prissy, he was unbelievably rude. Speaking loudly now, I finally command someone’s attention. They tell me they haven’t a clue where the property might be. If it isn’t there, it isn’t there. I give up. This is just one story. I’ve had many hospital visits in the past two years, and with more than one friend. The medical care is good — or at least I think it is, how would I know? — once you can get someone to pay attention. But it’s hard to get people to accept that they are in charge, to tell the patient what’s wrong, to communicate about future treatment. Everyone is much more concerned about ensuring that a visitor doesn’t use a mobile phone and doesn’t turn up at the wrong time than they are to provide any information. The rudeness isn’t confined to visitors.
