Killer mom fights to keep child tax credit

Story here. Excerpt:

"A woman who murdered her four-year-old daughter is appealing Revenue Canada’s decision not to allow her the child tax benefit.

Astrid Margaret Literski, who is incarcerated at the Nova Institution in Truro, pleaded guilty in February 2005 to the second-degree murder of Eveleigh Rain Bringsli by feeding her sleeping pills and then smothering her with a pillow. The mother, then 34, killed her daughter on Sept. 1, 2003, one day before the little girl’s first day of kindergarten.

Ms. Literski is slated to appear at a tax court appeal hearing May 2 in Halifax to argue that she deserved the child tax benefit cheques she received before her daughter died."

UK: Ordinary families would get £100 a week MORE benefits if they lived apart

Story here. Excerpt:

'Three out of four ordinary families would be better off living apart than sharing a home under Labour's benefits system.

Tax credits and benefits are increasingly skewed towards single mothers, a study has shown.
...
For some families, such as those with one child and a wife who stays at home, the premium would be almost £100 a week.
...
The findings will add to anger over how the benefits system increasingly penalises families.

They will lead to calls for changes to Government policy to encourage more couples to stay together.

David Cameron has promised to end the bias in favour of single parents by alterations to benefits which could mean some families receive £3,000 more.'

More from the "Lyin' Eyes" Department

Story here. Excerpt:

'Most females lie "more cleverly and successfully than men" about everything from cheating on their spouses and shopping binges to barhopping and facelifts, according to a new book published this week.

"Women lie as a survival technique, but also to get what they want," Susan Shapiro Barash, author of "Little White Lies, Deep Dark Secrets: The Truth About Why Women Lie," told the New York Post.

Barash interviewed 500 women nationwide and found 75 percent lie about how much money they spend, while more than 60 percent admitted to cheating on their husband.'

Los Angeles Marathon "won" by Russian woman

Headline: "Russian woman making marathon debut wins Los Angeles Marathon"

Actually it was won by a man from Kenya. But you won't see that mentioned here. Excerpt:

'LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Russia's Tatiana Aryasova made a smashing marathon debut Sunday, taking advantage of a head start on the male runners to capture the Los Angeles Marathon.

She held off a group of Kenyan men and finished in 2 hours, 29 minutes and 9 seconds. She gave little thought to the men in pursuit.
...
Kenya's Laban Moiben won the men's division in 2:13:50. Aryasova and Moiben each received $20,000 and a car for winning their divisions.'

In addition to double-think and cognitive dissonance, as well as cowardice, the reporting of this story betrays an unbelievable lack of basic arithmetic skills. The female runners got a 20-minute head start. The first man to cross the line did so at 2:13:50; the first woman, at 2:29:09. So even with a 20-minute head start, she came in about 13 minutes after the first man. Add the 20 minutes to it and she came in about 33 minutes after him.

Harvard Sets Women-Only Hours for Gym, Complying With Muslim Students' Request

Story here. Excerpt:

'In response to a request by female Muslim students, Harvard University has created women-only workout hours at one of its campus gyms. The decision has angered some students at the Ivy League university.
...
These hours are necessary because there is a segment of the Harvard female population that is not found in gyms, not because they don't want to work out, but because for them working out in a co-ed gym is uncomfortable, awkward or problematic in some way," she told Boston University's Daily Free Press.'

Daughter, 16, charged in murder of mother, brothers

Story here. Excerpt:

"A family's opposition to a teenage daughter's romance is suspected of leading to a fiery attack that left the girl's mother and brothers dead and her father critically wounded, investigators said Sunday.

Four suspects, including the 16-year-old daughter, remained in custody on capital murder charges Sunday, a day after the pre-dawn attack on the rural East Texas home of Terry and Penny Caffey.

Terry Caffey, who was shot in the head, was able to crawl about 300 yards to a neighbor's house to seek help, while flames consumed his home with his wife and two young sons inside, the Rains County Sheriff's Department said.

Penny Caffey, 37; Tyler Caffey, 8; and Mathew Caffey, 13, had been shot and stabbed multiple times, according to the statement."

Women Tell the Truth about Their Lies

Article here.

More confirming data. Yes, the sweet, fairer sex. We need to rid the world of this type of baloney!! Excerpt:

'Barash interviewed 500 women nationwide who answered her Craigslist ads seeking females to confide what they fib about. Among her findings:

* 75 percent lie about how much money they spend. For instance, they sneak purchases inside their homes after shopping or hide the price tags.

* 50 percent harbor "mixed feelings about mothering." One told Barash, "I look at these children and I crave sleep and free time. They wear me out and make me jealous of working women who have no children, no husbands."

* More than 60 percent cheated on their husbands. A 32-year-old mother conducted her trysts while telling her trusting husband she was working late. Even in asking for a divorce, she withheld the truth: "I didn't say I had fallen for another man. He was better off with my lies."'

Washington Post: Women vs. Women

Article here. Excerpt:

'Take Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign. By all measures, she has run one of the worst -- and, yes, stupidest -- presidential races in recent history, marred by every stereotypical flaw of the female sex. As far as I'm concerned, she has proved that she can't debate -- viz. her televised one-on-one against Obama last Tuesday, which consisted largely of complaining that she had to answer questions first and putting the audience to sleep with minutiae about her health-coverage mandate. She has whined (via her aides) like the teacher's pet in grade school that the boys are ganging up on her when she's bested by male rivals. She has all but wept on the campaign trail, even though everyone knows that tears are the last refuge of losers. And she is tellingly dependent on her husband.

Duke U. Trying to Shut Down Lawsuit Web Site

Duke University is asking the courts to shut down a web site that lacrosse players and their families have created to publish news about the ongoing lawsuit, alleging that the information posted on the site might prejudice a jury. That is an amazing testimony to the hypocrisy of the Duke administration given their former lack of concern about widespread media condemnation of innocent young men. Duke has offered large monetary settlements to shut down the upcoming lengthy trial, but their bribes have been declined by all litigants.

Murray Straus and Corporal Punishment

Story here. Notable about this story is that the report includes discussion of females' use of force to coerce sex.

The fact that Dr. Straus was even allowed to deliver these findings at an APA summit is quite remarkable. Bit by bit, the reality of men as DV victims is getting more and more recognition. Excerpt:

'Men who had experienced corporal punishment were four times more likely to physically coerce a partner into having sex, than those who had not experienced a lot of corporal punishment.

Physical coercion includes holding someone down or hitting them. Women who had experienced corporal punishment were also more likely to coerce sex from a partner than those who had not been spanked.
...
Both men and women who had experienced corporal punishment as children were less than 10 percent more likely than those who had not been spanked to verbally coerce sex from a partner.'

More on White Male "Swing" Voters

From the stranger-than-fiction dept: video report here. After irrevocably alienating male voters does anyone think The Hildebeast can possibly woo undecided male voters (of any ethnicity) at this point to vote for her?

Maybe men who have been living out in the woods without TV, radio, Internet, or newspapers, but other than them...

I think it's clear who is going to be the Democrat candidate for 2008. And obviously we know who is going to take the GOP nod. I think it's a good time to start thinking about which of these two candidates will be best for the interests of men in general. Does McCain have a history at all of voting male-friendly? I know we don't have quite the record on Obama, but has he said anything that seems it will address in any way the concerns of men, especially men-as-fathers? Thoughts?
