&lt;BR /&gt;
Real Women - If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too damn bad. Please recite with me, The Real Women's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Ladies - Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips. &lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Real Women - Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake. You're probably lying on the couch, with your feet up, eating it anyway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;
Ladies - To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. &lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Real Women - Buy boxed mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Ladies - Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. &lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Real Women - Leftover wine??!?!?!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://funmeme.com/archive/2008/06/25/ladies-vs-real-women.aspx</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:30:46 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>AskNaughtyNikki</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/7F69AE37-7F01-44C5-9A83-ED5850E0F48D/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/AskNaughtyNikki/"&gt;AskNaughtyNikki&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://asknaughtynikki.com/our-house-is-so-damn-hot-and-my-girl-wont-have-sex-cuz-she-feels-gross-what-shoud-i-do/" title="http://asknaughtynikki.com/our-house-is-so-damn-hot-and-my-girl-wont-have-sex-cuz-she-feels-gross-what-shoud-i-do/"&gt;asknaughtynikki.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Our house is so damn hot and my girl won’t have sex cuz she feels gross what shoud I do?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://asknaughtynikki.com/our-house-is-so-damn-hot-and-my-girl-wont-have-sex-cuz-she-feels-gross-what-shoud-i-do/</clipSource><pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2008 06:15:28 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>pay equality</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/0D80AE6D-D97F-4D22-A1C5-73931C17C9D3/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/kathleenjoy/"&gt;kathleenjoy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://jezebel.com/5037535/why-do-we-know-lauren-conrad--not-indra-nooyi" title="http://jezebel.com/5037535/why-do-we-know-lauren-conrad--not-indra-nooyi"&gt;jezebel.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Forbes&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;A href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26127522/"&gt;reports&lt;/A&gt; (via MSNBC) that when calculating the cash pulled in by male CEOs of America's largest companies, the average take, including salary and bonuses, for all 500 CEOs was $12.8 million — &lt;EM&gt;double&lt;/EM&gt; the female average of $6.5 million.

                                enforcement laws vary significantly from state 
                                to state; some authorize enforcement statewide, 
                                whereas others permit it only in specified 
                                communities. The use of red light cameras and 
                                speed cameras are used to help communities 
                                enforce traffic safety by automatically 
                                photographing vehicles of drivers who run red 
                                lights or who exceed posted speed limits. &lt;SPAN class="594142018-23032006"&gt; 
                                As a result, many safety hazards are associated 
                                with the use of these cameras due to erratic 
                                driving behavior.  &lt;/SPAN&gt;There are &lt;SPAN class="594142018-23032006"&gt;also
                                &lt;/SPAN&gt;many differences in automated enforcement

Instead, in the here and now, it has a window of opportunity to reclaim prestige and weaken its adversaries.

There are pipeline and energy  schemes at stake and the loss of prestige and honor by the US in its inability to cover the losses of such a small but vital little merde pile at the far end of the Black Sea.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What were they thinking.    &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://russia-exists.blogspot.com/2008/08/it-feels-so-damn-good.html" title="http://russia-exists.blogspot.com/2008/08/it-feels-so-damn-good.html"&gt;russia-exists.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;H3 class="post-title entry-title"&gt;

The South Ossetian conflict began and ended with some epic examples of badly timed blog posts. First, a couple of "the Russians have sucked it down, they can't do jack now" posts on August 8, a mere hour or two before the surprise (that wasn't). But I'm pleased to say the worst of timing luck has befallen our old friend &lt;B&gt;La Russophobe&lt;/B&gt;. You don't want to be the hysterical war-monger when your "dangerous" "enemy" have just shown themselves to be wise and to mean what they say.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;H1 class="title"&gt;

The US Air Force's Airborne Laser (ABL) is designed to shoot down enemy ballistic missiles in the early stages of their flight.

"The Airborne Laser team has done a great job preparing the high-energy laser for these fuel tests, which will lead the way toward achieving 'first light' of the laser aboard the aircraft," said Mike Rinn, vice president of Boeing, which is prime contractor on the project.

When Mary didn't stir, little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. "God Almighty!" shouted Mary and the teacher said, "Very good" and Mary fell back to sleep.

Then the teacher asked Mary a third question, "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?" And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time Mary jumped up and shouted, "If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/mary/" rel="tag"&gt;mary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.thehumorarchives.com/joke/Prick_for_God</clipSource><pubDate>Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:03:41 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>damn</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/8E53353F-F3A3-401B-A14E-E3BC07F0C8F0/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/Snotme/"&gt;Snotme&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://eatinbugs.com/babes/web/imagepages/image27.html" title="http://eatinbugs.com/babes/web/imagepages/image27.html"&gt;eatinbugs.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/Snotme/512/425BA801-5D3E-4AB8-8BC5-4663DD7553CE.jpg" alt="babe5a.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://eatinbugs.com/babes/web/imagepages/image27.html</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:13:58 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Congressman Alcee L.

issued the following statement&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;"Florida Democrats have been serially abused and the DNC is the latest of 
offenders. How the DNC has the authority to ignore the votes of 'Jack and Jane 
Lunch Bucket' is beyond my understanding. The insiders who actively sought to 
disillusion and disenfranchise the more than 1.75 million Florida Democrats who 
voted on January 29 give new meaning to collective arrogance. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"The DNC's 
decision today ignores the core principle of our great democracy: the right to 
vote. I know that the 1.75 million Democrats who voted on January 29 count and 
don’t give a damn what the DNC rules pronounce.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;"I suppose the DNC has the right to block Democrats in Florida from attending 
the National Convention. They also have the right to be stupid, and stupid they 
are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.blogfordemocracy.org/2008/06/dnc_smackdown_by_rep_alcee_has.html</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2008 21:31:48 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
