Single mom tries to auction herself and her house on e-bay

File this under humor-- dark humor, but humor nonetheless. Excerpt:

'PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — A struggling single parent and real estate agent is trying to sell her house and find a husband. She’s auctioning off both her home and herself in a package deal on eBay and Craigslist.
...
Her eBay auction ends July 2 and asks for a starting bid of 99 cents with a shipping cost of $500,000. The auction has not yet received any bids.

Traboscia says she has already been contacted by one man in Italy, who is arranging a trip to South Florida to visit her.'

The story that is destined just not to die... the latest chapter is here. Excerpt:

...
The principal said his only direct source of information about the intentional pregnancies was the former nurse practitioner at the health center. He said he also heard “verbal staff reports and student/staff chatter.”'

14-YO girl faces stat rape charges and gets private attorney's help pro-bono

Story here. The kicker is that she claims she was raped forcibly by the 13-year-old and now has a private attorney (as opposed to a public defender) representing her gratis. Excerpt:

'Then the girl says two friends left the room, leaving her alone with the boy who she says had been her friend up until then. She says he forced himself on her. The girl says she told her school counselor about it a month later.

"I wanted help because it was my first time and I was scared," she says.

The counselor went to police and before long this girl who was 14 at the time, was being charged with raping the boy who was a few months younger and still 13 years old. Kansas law says sex with anyone under 14, even if it's consensual, is rape. Deciding to actually prosecute a child in this situation is another matter.'

UK: Elderly girl-gang victim confronts her attacker in court

Story here. Excerpt:

"Great grandmother Maisie was beaten, spat at and threatened with garden shears as she tried to stand up to layabout Duffy and her gang of hoodie thugs who had been drinking cheap cider.

As Duffy was named and shamed by a judge under the terms of an anti social behaviour order, widow Maisie compared the pictures of herself and her tormentor and condemned the scourge of violent teenage girls blighting the country.

Recent Home Office figures shows that girls between 10 and 17 committed 59,236 crimes last year, up 25% from 47,358 in 2004."

UK: "Flooded kitchen" mother jailed for neglect

Story here. Remember this case? Excerpt:

"A mother who left her toddler son imprisoned and alone in a flooded kitchen for three days while she went out 'to party', was today jailed for 18 months.

Kelly Tollerton, a 23-year-old single mother of two, showed no emotion as the judge spoke of her 'deplorable and disgraceful' act in leaving her two-year-old child to scavenge for food in the bin and sleep on a pile of dirty laundry, while she spent the weekend with her boyfriend."

Unearthing bones can also unearth family secrets

Story here. Women making false claime as to who the father of a child really is has been going on for a long time. Now, the military is deciding how to deal with that when finding lost, dead soldiers back from WWII when doing DNA to notify next of kin. Excerpt:

"Now, as the military develops new technologies that could identify fallen soldiers using similar kinds of DNA tests, it is facing the real possibility that bones unearthed from distant battlefields may also end up exposing family secrets from World War II. The tests could well uncover cases of false paternity that have been kept secret for decades."

Women have been doing this for YEARS! Yet they still are not held responsible! It goes to show to me at least that women cannot be trusted. Goes as far back as Adam and Eve.

UK: Donor sprem increasingly scarce due to loss of guaranteed anonymity

Looks like their evil plan backfired and the potential donors got some smarts. Well, did they really think we were *that stupid*? Alas, some guys still are. But this is hopeful news. Excerpt:

'The removal of anonymity from sperm and egg donors has provoked a crisis in fertility treatment that is denying couples the chance to try for a baby.

Infertility therapy with donated sperm has collapsed to the lowest levels since records began, according to the first official figures, seen by The Times, since the Government banned anonymous donation in 2005.

The number of women treated with donated sperm fell by about 20 per cent, from 2,727 in 2005 to 2,107 in 2006, the first full year after the change. The number of donor insemination treatment cycles fell by 30 per cent over the same period.'

Harriet Harperson Strikes Again

This woman has got to have a real deep-seated hatred of men. Especially if they're white. Here is her latest attempt to turn Britain into an even bigger laughing stock than it is already. Excerpt:

"Women and ethnic minority job candidates will be given increased chances of employment under new Government plans.

The new Equalities Bill will also force employers to reveal salary structures to make the pay gap between men and women clearer.

Equality Minister Harriet Harman defended the positive discrimination telling Sky News there was still too much "old-fashioned" bias in the work place."

Pro-women laws being misused

Article here. Excerpt:

"NEW DELHI: Are we being fair on the not -so-fair sex? It would appear not. Laws for protecting women like the anti-dowry legislation and the domestic violence Act were vociferously opposed by men's groups on Wednesday at a consultation initiated by the ministry for women and child development and UNIFEM.

The burden of their argument was that these laws don't follow the fundamental legal premise that a person is innocent until he is proven guilty. "In 30% of the cases that come to us, there is a rift between the woman and her in-laws where the woman forces the man to choose between the two under the threat of slapping Section 498A of the Dowry Prohibition Act on the husband and his family," said Ashish from Save Indian Family (SIF)."

Denver Center for the Performing Arts excludes men from play

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a play for women in which men are excluded. I found this by looking at the Sunday Denver Post while at work, find here.

The letter writer has a point, though I feel like barfing a little at the other plays he's seen (Vagina Monologues?).

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts is an organization, but it uses city government facilities. Isn't that still illegal?

The website for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is here.

The discriminatory play is here. Quote:

"Girls Only - The Secret Comedy of Women

September 18, 2008 -- December 21, 2008
Garner Galleria Theatre

Sorry, fellas, this one's just for the ladies."

Granted, I wouldn't want to see the play anyway, and if they show misandric crap like "The Vagina Monologues" and the others mentioned, I especially wouldn't want to go.

CNN: Is it harder to raise boys or girls?

Article here. Excerpt:

"Boys and modern education are not an idyllic match. An indoor-based day and an early emphasis on academics and visual-auditory (as opposed to hands-on) learning ask a lot of a group that arrives at school less mature. In their early years, most boys lag behind girls in developing attentiveness, self-control, and language and fine motor skills.

The relatively recent acceleration of the pre-K and kindergarten curricula has occurred without awareness that the brain develops at different sequences in girls and boys, Dr. Sax says. Music, clay work, finger painting, and physical exercise -- early-ed activities that once helped lively kids acclimate to school -- are vanishing. Few teachers are trained in handling the problems that result."

UK: Working-class white boys shun higher education, new report confirms

Article here. Excerpt:

"White working-class males are severely under-represented in universities, according to a report by the government that shows the English university sector remains strongly divided along class lines.

The National Audit Office (NAO) report says that white working-class boys are now the least likely group of people to go to university. The Russell group of research-led institutions - including Oxford and Cambridge - are most consistently failing to attract state school students.

Universities and the government have failed to monitor properly the impact of a £392m drive to encourage them to apply, the report claims."
