This little doozy was on cbsnews.com. Normally I’d just link to the entire article, but it’s a short one, so here it is, in its entirety. Amazing how many public figures have statements – of public record – that they later claim where not at all what they believe, stand and work for.

Republican Virginia State Delegate Bob Marshall said at a press conference last week that God is taking “vengeance” on parents who have had abortions by making their other children disabled.

“The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically,” he reportedly said. “Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children.”

“In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord,” he added. “There’s a special punishment Christians would suggest.”

Marshall posted a statement on his Web site distancing himself from the comments, but he can’t erase all his similar comments over the past couple of years!

“No one who knows me or my record would imagine that I believe or intended to communicate such an offensive notion,” he wrote. “I have devoted a generation of work to defending disabled and unwanted children, and have always maintained that they are special blessings to their parents. Nevertheless, I regret any misimpression my poorly chosen words may have created as to my deep commitment to fighting for these vulnerable children and their families.”

Marshall made the comments at an event calling for Virginia not to offer state funding for the group Planned Parenthood, which performs abortions.  Disclaimer here:  I have been a monthly contributor to PP for many years – the vast majority of their budget is spent on family planning, not abortions.  IMO, the better part of Bobby ran down his father’s leg.

Since I seem to be wandering in Freaky Deaky Land today, here’s a couple more plastic surgery wonders.

Maria Jose Cristerna, is a 35-year-old lawyer and mother of four in Mexico.  Cristerna is tattooed from head to toe, has titanium “horn” implants, dental “fangs” and multiple facial piercings. Cristerna says her look is about self-empowerment; her extreme body art has helped her “free” herself from an abusive past.  The Mexican version of “Scared Straight.” 

Jocelyn Wildenstein, 72, a New York City socialite, had her face “remodeled” over the years via extensive plastic surgeries to give her the look of a jungle cat. She apparently did this to please her husband who liked big cats (the two have since divorced). Wildenstein was said to be ecstatic and loves what she sees when she look in the mirror.

Here’s the tan-lady, Patricia Krentcil, 44, going for the Ultimate Beef Jerky Award.

Jacqueline Koh is a Singapore fashion designer who underwent plastic surgery to look like an anime character — chin implants, eyelid surgery, nose jobs, and had her ears flattened.  She’s happy with the results and is the same person on the inside.

This is a great combo: – a 21-year-old, bat-shit crazy girl and a surgeon who’s definitely in it for the $$$.  You can read the entire article here, together with the many hyperlinks included.

Immaculate doll-face, globulous breasts, teeny waist, slender limbs, vacant ice-blue eyes, long platinum hair – Valeria Lukyanova of Odessa, Ukraine, has re-designed her physical form to resemble Barbie, the plastic Mattel toy. Is the result “beautiful”? Critics screech that she’s “creepy” and “lifeless” with an “uncanny valley” absence of sexuality, but… let’s not kid ourselves here.

Two identical offers targeted to Americans but using Canadian (British) terms like cheque, designed to lure unsuspecting readers in, thinking it’s a real news story from a legitimate news agency.  Each of these “offers” was submitted by a different reader; each link leads to the same article but with a different web address.

You should be aware that all links on the page link back to the work at home organization which publishes this.

Have You Ever Considered Working Online?

Kelly Richards from Brooklyn, NY never thought that she would, until curiosity got the best of her and she filled out a simple online form. Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her three children.

I read Kelly’s blog last month and decided to feature her story in our local job report. In our phone interview she told me her amazing story. “I basically make about $6,000-$8,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home.

If any of you wants to play around with this see how much they charge for their Home Cash System kit and let us know.
