They all pray down here...


Kenyon Worldwide Disaster Services dispatched a small team and a mobile morgue to New Orleans as Katrina hit. With the death toll rising, Kenyon offered more staff and morgues if FEMA could broker a deal with Louisiana. But FEMA and the company argued for two weeks until Kenyon finally gave the Feds an ultimatum: Work out a deal or find a new mortician. The Louisiana Health Department stepped in and hired Kenyon, which increased its staff in New Orleans 15-fold. An issue raised by the Feds that Kenyon found distasteful: an instruction that chaplains bless recovered bodies. A company source said the Feds are insisting on this, and the first chaplains are supposed to go out this week. Asked if that was mixing church and state, a FEMA spokeswoman responded: "A prayer is not necessarily religious. Everybody prays."

Except when they're masturbating...

The FBI is joining the Bush administration's War on Porn. And it's looking for a few good agents...

"I guess this means we've won the war on terror," said one exasperated FBI agent, speaking on the condition of anonymity because poking fun at headquarters is not regarded as career-enhancing. "We must not need any more resources for espionage."


Or having babies.

Cynthia Liu is precisely the kind of high-achiever Yale wants: smart (1510 SAT), disciplined (4.0 GPA), competitive (finalist in Texas oratory competition), musical (pianist), athletic (runner) and altruistic (hospital volunteer). And at the start of her sophomore year at Yale, Cynthia is full of ambition, planning to go to law school.

So will she join the long tradition of famous Ivy League graduates? Not likely. By the time she's 30, this accomplished 19-year-old expects to be a stay-at-home mom.

As I mentioned yesterday to [livejournal.com profile] erus_umbros, when I want the FBI in my bedroom, I will call them. Two or three at a time though. There are a lot of them. Bastards.

remember what Susie Bright noted lesbian pornographer about the Meese Report on Pornography:

300 pages of the hardest core stuff I've seen. I'm a pornographer so I know the hard stuff when i see it...and this is it.

I masturbated to the Meese report til I passed out. Thank you taxpayers!!

Bloody hell, few examples of governmental buffoonery get me as worked up as attacks on freedom of expression. Especially when the attacks are carried out in the name of "family values." (Don't even get me started on the inappropriateness of that expression.)

Grrr!

good, i do believe. just got back from the wedding of Neil Warren, Noted Thelemite. he was very kind and let me off the hookfor breaking up with him to go be with his friend Aaron, and didn't yell or call me a trollop or anything.

we're still buds, and altho he's not terribly happy with me, we're still talking and i'm sure we're gonna weather this and go on being friends.

he's nova_albion, btw. if you wanna look him up. mad hot revolutionary ire.

Oh hell. If you'd said that was him, I'd have added him already. I got enough hot revolutionary ire from strangers, but from friends, it's different.

The Esoteric Science Research Center also picked up on the "Ivy-League drop-out moms" story -- and it's follow up. ENjoy!

Eeeenteresting.

What if it's someone you know who got hired by the FBI?

Yeah. I blame X-Files. Scully was hot.

Actually, no, FBI are not okay either. Firefighters are fine.

Then they're most likely off the list. It is a sacred rule that you do not, in fact, go to bed with the police.

While it is good to have well-educated mother caring for children, a good education that helps pass on intellectual pursuits and abilities should ber for whichever parent stays home. Why hyper educate the custodial parent, and then only give them a few years before the babies come? Doesn't seem cost-effective. Or, is this another backhanded way to say higher education is wasted on women because they just want babies anyway?
