Butters bottom bitch

Then new episode of South Park aired the other day and my god was it offensive the story line of Butters becoming a pimp and calling all his female class mates bitches and hoes was enough in its self but the side plot of the South Park police department on a prostitute ring fully pushed everything as close to the edge as possible there where full on vocal gay porn scenes that where as explicit as anything I have ever seen on Television I could just see every republican cringing as they heard and saw these scenes but bravo South Park for once again pushing everything to the limits

Obama WIns Nobel Peace Prize

Thats right even in the middle of all this economic uncertainity Barrack Obama has still been able to win probably the most prestigious award in the world and he has decided to give the prize money to charity reports www.news.com


http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26190581-23109,00.html



US President Barack Obama says he's honoured and humbled to win the Nobel Peace Prize and will accept it as a "call to action" to work with other nations to solve the problems of the 21st Century.

Mr Obama told reporters in the White House Rose Garden that he's not sure he's done enough to earn the award, or deserves to be in the company of the celebrated other laureates before him.

"To be honest, I do not feel I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honoured by this prize."

But, he said, "I will aceept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st Century."

Mr Obama won the award just nine months into his term, with the jury hailing his "extraordinary" efforts in international diplomacy and to hasten nuclear disarmament.

The gold medal, diploma and a cheque for 10 million Swedish kronor ($1.57 million) will be presented in Oslo on December 10, the anniversary of the death in 1896 of the prize creator, Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Mr Obama would give the prizemoney to charity.

Mr Obama said he was "humbled" by the distinction but criticism has already begun as to how the award could be given so quickly.

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the Nobel jury said in making the stunning announcement.

The committee attached "special importance to Mr Obama's vision and work for a world without nuclear weapons" and said he had created "a new climate in international politics."

Mr Obama, 48, took office on January 20 and has sought to restore US standing after widespread criticism over the war in Iraq and the world superpower's attitude to efforts to control global warming.

The first black American president has brought the Israeli and Palestinian leaders together for a meeting, approved new diplomatic engagement with Iran, Myanmar and North Korea and signalled a new willingness to attack growing environmental problems.

Mr Obama went to Cairo to make a major speech on relations with the Muslim world, badly tarnished by President George W. Bush's order to invade Iraq. At the United Nations, he has launched an initiative to reduce the number of nuclear weapons.

The US president was awoken at 6am at the White House by his spokesman to be told of the award. An administration official quoted Mr Obama as saying he felt "humbled".

Mr Obama was honoured "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee Thorbjoern Jagland said.

"We had no problem... It was a unanimous decision," he said.

The jury said: "Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations," it said.

"Thanks to Obama's initiative, the US is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic changes the world is confronting."

The committee said it was seeking to encourage Mr Obama's ideals rather than recognise concrete results.

Mr Jagland said: "It was unavoidable to give the prize to the man who has improved the international climate and emphasised negotiations and dialogue."

"Before he took office the situation was so dangerous. Step by step he has given the message to the world that he wants to negotiate on all conflicts, strengthen the United Nations and work for a world without any nuclear arms."

Poland's anti-communist leader Lech Walesa, who won the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize, said it was too early to reward Mr Obama now.

"Who, Obama? So fast? Too fast - he hasn't had the time to do anything yet," Mr Walesa said.

"For the time being Obama's just making proposals. But sometimes the Nobel committee awards the prize to encourage responsible action."

In Afghanistan, Taliban militia spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid condemned the prize. "We have seen no change in his strategy for peace. He has done nothing for peace in Afghanistan."

"We hope that this gives him the incentive to walk in the path of bringing justice to the world order," a spokesman for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said.

Other world leaders said the distinction should be seen as an encouragement for Mr Obama.

UN's nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei, another past Peace Prize winner, said Mr Obama was the most deserving winner.

"In less than a year in office, he has transformed the way we look at ourselves and the world we live in and rekindled hope for a world at peace with itself," said the outgoing director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"President Obama has provided outstanding leadership on moving towards a world free of nuclear weapons," he said.

The 2008 Peace Prize winner Martti Ahtisaari, former Finnish president and veteran troubleshooter in international conflicts, said the award should "encourage" Obama's Middle East peace efforts.

"We do not yet have a peace in the Middle East... this time it it was very clear that they wanted to encourage Obama to move on these issues," Mr Ahtisaari said.

Asked whether it was too early to give Mr Obama the prize, Mr Jagland replied: "If you look at the history of the Peace Prize, we have on many occasions given it to try to enhance what many personalities were trying to do."

"The decision to go to Afghanistan had a unanimous UN mandate. The conflict in Afghanistan concerns us all. This is not only the responsibility of Barack Obama but hopefully this improved international climate could help resolve the conflict," he said.

Mr Obama is the third US president in office to win the award, after Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson in 1919. Former US president Jimmy Carter won the prize in 2002.

The gold medal, diploma and a cheque for 10 million Swedish kronor ($1.57 million) will be presented in Oslo on December 10, the anniversary of the death in 1896 of the prize creator, Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel.

What to do and what not to do at San Fran's Love fest

As you know this weekend is lovefest in San Fran and instead of being up there enjoying myself in a care free state of bliss im here at home watching mythbusters on my couch waiting for subway but for those of you who are able to through caution to the wind this weekend in one of California's greatest cities here you go 5 Do's and Don'ts from the wonderful people at
http://www.grooveeffect.com






Do's...

1. Do get creative with your outfit or costume.

You'll see so many people dressed from the mildest costumes to the wildly outrageous! This is the time to get creative with your clothing and have fun at the festivities.

2. Do drink a lot of water.

You tend to get dehydrated quickly when it's sunny and you're walking around for hours, and consuming alcohol with your friends. Make sure you drink a lot of water even if it means using the port-a-potties. You'll be happy the next day when you don't have a bad hangover. You'll have more fun through out the night and will be able to chase the sluggishness away that comes from being dehydrated.

3. Do bring hand sanitizer or a to-go pack of wet wipes.

You might need to use the port-a-potties when you're at the festival. After long lines of people using them through out the day they are less than desirable places to be around. Especially if you're going to be eating anything there. Bring some hand sanitizer or to-go wet wipes and use them.

4. Do bring a comfortable pair of shoes.

Even if you decide to wear heels at night for the after parties bring some comfortable shoes to walk around in during the day. You'll to deal with less pain and feel happier and more comfortable to celebrate with your friends.

5. Do bring ear plugs for your ears.

You may not be thinking about it at the time you're busy dancing around loud speakers at each float, but those speakers are loud enough to do some damage to your ears. Bring some stylish earplugs to protect your ears if you're going to be near the floats. Trust us after several bass heavy parties, concerts, nightclubs, and festivals it will affect your hearing.


Don'ts...

1. Don't wear a costume that's too intricate and not manageable.

During a past event there was a girl with a full out Victorian era white wig, cinched and busty white gown, white pantyhose, and white heels. It took her literally half an hour to maneuver her dress to use the bathroom and she was lucky enough to be at the VIP bathroom area indoors unlike most partygoers. It's one thing to get festive and it's another to make things so complicated that you're worried about your outfit the whole time. Do yourself a favor and save the intricate costume for an intimate party. Wear something you can run around in and have a good time.

2. Don't drink alcohol on an empty stomach.

There are so many times you'll see people who are so drunk they end up passing out somewhere or their friends have to take care of them. Make sure you have eaten something before you start drinking. There are usually food vendors so bring a few extra dollars and snack through out the day. Sometimes it's easy to forget to eat with you're drinking and you end up paying the price later.

3. Don't litter.

There are so many garbage cans clearly marked trash, recycle, and compost, but over the hours the streets get filthy with water bottles and trash every where. Do everyone a favor and throw your trash away so there's room to walk and sit around without having to worry about stains on your cool outfit.

4. Don't wear killer heels.

It might look hot with your sexy outfit, but imagine walking and standing around for hours in them. Especially since the party continues at many locations through out the night. Don't learn it the hard way. Bring a pair of comfortable shoes to walk around in during the parade and get your heels out for the after parties so you can save yourself the pain. If you insist on wearing heels for the daytime event make sure you at least have comfortable shoes like pretty flip flops to walk around during the parade.

5. Don't bring an attitude with you.

Everyone is there to have fun, so don't ruin it by getting belligerently drunk and picking fights with other partygoers. LovEvolution is all about showing some love and enjoying the collective experience. Leave the drama at home and enjoy the festival.

Incense

Recently I have been burning incense more and more. In the middle of the day with nothing to do it can become a very relaxing experience the sents seem to smooth and clear out negativity in the air. So if your just sitting back enjoying a beautiful day go out invest in some good incense and let em burn baby burn.
