Just Do the Honorable Thing, Prime Minister Najib - (USA)
The Malaysian Insider May 15, 2009 Najib, do the honorable thing by* Tunku A. Aziz, Senator Designate for Penang The last three months have seen a flurry of activity on the Perak political front. All of this was without any doubt occasioned by Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s blatantly cynical, barefaced manipulation of human greed. Najib is no novice when it comes to money matters. He succeeded spectacularly in seducing the three most unremarkable and positively unpleasant Pakatan R

Chemical Dependency Treatment Centers - (USA)
By Jimmy Johnson If you or someone you know has a drug or alcohol problem, then possibly a stay at chemical dependency treatment center is needed. Many people's lives have become totally unmanageable due to addictions to drugs and alcohol. The phrase 'sick and tired of being sick and tired' is very true; people that seek treatment on their own advice, do so because they are completely sick and tired of the whole thing. Others simply never make it to this point. They may feel that way at times

Doubling Down and TechStars for Life - (USA)
I’m heading out for the first run in 10 days since I hurt my back playing tennis. It’s a beautiful day here in Keystone and I’m looking forward to enjoying the mountains for a while. I slept late, had breakfast with Amy, and then went through my morning information routine. In addition to leveling up in Mafia Wars and Pirates , checking to make sure my Farm didn’t need harvesting until later today, and making sure my workers were feed and working the rides in Roller Coaster Kingdom , I

Myron Scholes Doesn’t Care If You Think He Blew Up The Economy - (USA)
We always enjoy Deborah Solomon's prickly interviews in the NYT Sunday Magazine, and this week's with Myron Scholes of Black-Scholes and Long Term Capital Management fame is no exception. The takeaway, you can think whatever you want about Scholes and his role in certain calamities. He doesn't give a damn. Examples : You’re known as the “intellectual father of the credit-default swap.” Do you accept that label? Let’s see. If it’s good, yes. If not, no. The writer Nassim Nicholas Tal

Advice to a young leftist - (USA)
I WAS quite flattered to get an email in this blog’s inbox last week from a young man of 19, asking my advice on getting involved with leftwing politics for the first time. While he finds the SWP impressive in many respects, he is aware of its well-deserved reputation for sectarianism and control freakery. On the other hand, he is considering involvement with the Labour Party, in the hope that it it will evolve in a more progressive direction in the coming period. I’m sure many regular readers

Some “Friendly” Advice From Sen. Sessions - (USA)
Filled with bluster and self-importance with his new post-Specter position as ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Jeff Sessions is taking the first Supreme Court vacancy facing President Obama very seriously. Sessions has already prepared an opposition gameplan, complaining that he won’t be forced by Democrats to toe a certain ideological “line” in sizing up the president’s pending SCOTUS nominee, and has become the media face of the GOP on the topic. Sen. Sessions also

Spigot of whatever - (USA)
The title of this post is an obscure reference to a friend’s long-defunct blog. Anyone who knows me well knows that I can be cryptically self-referential - I guess what you could call very “inside baseball,” but I hate that term. Almost as much as I hate “it is what it is.” That is one of my all-time most-loathed phrases. It’s meaningless!! A conversation among (not “between!” between is for two people only! pet peeve!) Jenny, Niki, and I might as well be in a foreign language as far as third-

Fraudulent Defenders of Our Faith - (USA)
There is nothing Islamic about a society infested with corruption, dehumanized by poverty, and riddled with injustices. It would be the height of hypocrisy, and mock our great faith to boot, for Khairy and Khir Toyo to claim the mantle of Islamic leadership if they are a part of the state apparatus that allows these evils to continue.

Can Your Child’s Behavior Be Repaired? - (USA)
by Suzi Hoffstetler Is it really possible to have well behaved children? On a daily basis I come across kids who are screaming, hitting siblings, back-talking grown-ups, throwing hissy fits and embarrassing not only their parents, but anyone around to witness this atrocious behavior. Or maybe you have your own little hellion who’s running amuck around your house, tearing through it like a tornado as you try to read and research on how to make him or her a perfect little member of society.

Hiding Behind the Pulpit with Bipolar Disorder - (USA)
I have an illness that affects nearly 1 out of every 17 Americans, and affects 1 out of every 5 families. This disease is chronic in nature, and can only be controlled, not cured. It is not consistent in either symptoms or treatments. Controlling the symptoms is a lifelong struggle, and can only be accomplished through therapy, medication and developing coping skills. People with this illness are treated like modern-day lepers. They are ridiculed, stereotyped and misrepresented in society. No

Hot: Name: Jenny Age: 35 Location: NY My girlfriend is overweight. When we first met, I was not sure if I was attracted to her because of it, but found that it didn’t matter. I feel like I am really in love with her and there is a difference between my private feelings and my public worries. In private I feel very attracted to her and love how her body feels.

For Decades , Men Have Been Taught Wrongly! - (USA)
As you know, all men have natural sexual desires. And for decades, misguided feminists have been trying to shame men into repressing these desires! Here’s what they thought… Pretty much every movie or TV show you’ll ever see will make men who want to pick up women look like a buffoon or sleaze bag. Men are made out to be MORONS because they want to do what nature intended. Because Of This, Men Have Gotten SCREWED UP… Think this is the way things are? WRONG! As it turns out, men have

Applying HP or “Hire Purchase” Credit Account - (USA)
The correct term for a HP agreement nowadays is an “Instalment Sale” but people still use the term HP. HP is similar to the Lay-By system in that a deposit is usually required with the balance then paid for in instalments over a set period of time. The differences are that you take delivery of the goods immediately and you pay interest. Effectively you are “hiring” whilst you are “purchasing”. There are two types of instalment sale. The first is where an intermediary institution (usually a fi

Comment on Miss California USA Director Quits Over Carrie Prejean by MCWAY - (USA)
TK : People pointing alleged “moral” fingers and doing things against the church IS called hypocrisy. I have no problem with Prejean doing pornography, and I have no problem with her practicing her religious views. These are things between her and her church, most churches would excommunicate anyone involved in pornography, and then lie about it twice. The problem with this issue is that she’s going around preaching to us, American’s, that some thing is against her religious beliefs, but the

Sage Advice From The Man From Plains - (USA)
It has often been said that Jimmy Carter did more good after leaving office than when he was President of the United States. Frankly, I think Carter gets a bum rap, and only failed as a President because he told the truth far more often than we in America could bear to hear it! Nevertheless, I’ve been thinking a lot about our words and our attitudes lately. In fact, I recently wrote a post here at VN entitled “The Raca Principle” (check it out if you need background to what I’m about to say).

Got a question? Ask BloggerDad! Welcome to the second edition of Ask Blogger Dad, your one stop spot for bad advice! Thanks for the warm response to my debut column last week. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the reaction, it’s that I should REALLY be charging you people for access to my wisdom. However, since I don’t have the title of Life Coach or Guru, I apparently cannot do so. And while I call myself Dr. Blogger Dad, it apparently does not actually make me a doctor! Who knew?!
