flap your lips friday

Good morning!
Donald Trump hasn’t heard the last of it when it comes to him trumping “something” up. And that “something” is the false claim that “Obama wasn’t born in the U.S.” Carol Costello of CNN tells us exactly how she feels.
CNN’s Carol Costello Tears Into Donald Trump: ‘A Joke,’ ‘Ridiculous’
CNN anchor Carol Costello laid into Donald Trump for his birther comments and nascent presidential run.
Speaking on Wednesday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Costello said Trump is “shaping up to be a joke.” She then recounted his controversial comments on “The View,” and his attempt to release his own birth certificate. “Except it wasn’t,” she noted acidly. “It was a hospital birthing record. Oops.”
She said Trump was “not likely to be president…unless Americans like the fact he’s distracting from an important debate that should be taking place in this country.” Suzanne Malveaux, who was hosting at the time, said that Trump was also wrong when he said on “The View” that “nobody” remembered Obama from his youth.
“I did a documentary,” she said. “I went to Hawaii, I talked to people who knew him as a kid.”
“You talked to his secret sister that no one’s ever heard of, didn’t you?” Costello asked sarcastically. “It’s all part of the conspiracy, right?” Malveaux said.
“I know, it’s ridiculous,” Costello replied.
Watch the video (via Mediaite):
Oops…it’s not going to happen.
Readers: Well…no matter how many times I post this video, it shows up for me, but doesn’t show up at all in preview. So if you want to see Costello get real with The Donald, click here.
Oh…and on another note, did you hear that Trump is going to have a morning show on FOX? Yep. If Sunday night you don’t get enough of Trump, you can wake up Monday and watch “Monday Mornings With Trump”. Gee, I can’t wait.
Trump will be “bold, brash, and never bashful”. Did anyone every tell him that the words in his tag line, are all basically the same meaning? The word “Bold” can mean “brave” or “courageous”. But in this context, I don’t think so.
When the word “bold” is followed by the word “brash”, also a definition of the word “bold”, in my opinion, we are clued in that when Trump is described as “bold”, that really means he is “brash”:
brash 1 |bra sh |
a brash man self-assertive, pushy, cocksure, cocky, self-confident, arrogant, bold, audacious, brazen, bumptious, overweening, puffed-up; forward, impudent, insolent,rude.
And then you look at the words: “never bashful”:
bashful |?ba sh f?l|adjective
reluctant to draw attention to oneself; shy : don’t be bashful about telling folks how you feel.
The antonym of “bashful”, being “bold”. So…basically what they are saying is that Trump is going to be “bold”. In other words, he is going to be self-absorbed, and self-aggrandizing. Hmm…not exactly what I’m looking for in a potential presidential candidate. Not to mention, the last place I want to see a potential presidential candidate or any candidate for that matter, is on FOX News. Are you with me or wha’at?
And isn’t it surprising that Trump is assuming a media role so close to election? Is this a “bold” move or a stupid one? You tell me. Blog me.
***********
Hector: First of all thanks for reading and for the kudos. How did I do it? Only God knows and he ain’t tellin’. :) No really…it is probably quite a few factors and a lot of luck. The opportunity presented itself and I was prepared, I guess.
Anyone can start a blog. The “work” of blogging all just depends on what you want to get out of it or what you want to create. When I started I really had no goal in mind, and I never dreamed it would get to be this big and widely read.
You are correct, my blog has no theme. It has been that way since the beginning. I didn’t ever want to feel limited in my writing. But yes over the years it has grown and changed, and more than anything else it has certainly developed into “a women’s blog”, where all are welcome.
And yes, I do rail against those who abuse women, but more than that I HOPE that I inspire and uplift others to join me and be supportive of women too. It isn’t enough to be upset about how women are treated…it isn’t enough to rail and rant at and about the abusers, some action must happen too, to prevent the further abuse, otherwise it will never end.
So..onto you. I don’t know why your story is surprising to me, when my blog seems to encourage people to open up in personal ways that I never imagined. And your story, I certainly could not have imagined. As they say, “truth is stranger than fiction”.
So..wow Hector ( not your real name :), what can I tell you? I am no armchair therapist, and I don’t necessarily like to give advice especially under such unusual circumstances. There are quite a few of well-educated professionals who read here and would do a much better job at advising you.
But hey, since you asked. I would say that you have done more than your part as Father/Brother/husband to your family and you should be able to break away and start your own family, leaving your very unusual demands behind you.
However, when you mention, “Besides I am sure to father sons and daughters that will follow the family values that she has laid down”, I HOPE that you are not speaking of demanding the same thing from your children that was demanded of you. Especially from your daughters.
My concern is will you be having sex with your daughters and will your sons be doing the same? Your mother had you wait till your sisters were 18 before you had sex with them, and it was their choice to have sex with you I am assuming since “you” were servicing them, and not the other was around.
So although you “had to preform”, it is obvious that you wanted to. How many boys get to grow up with beautiful sisters (9!) that they get to fuck? As it has been said here many times, “a man can not get aroused and have sex unless he wants to.” It is impossible to rape a man. A man can not be raped, but a woman obviously can.
That being said, I HOPE for the sake of your children, and as I mentioned especially your daughters, that these kind of “family values” are not followed. Sex with a minor girl is rape no matter how you look at it. And sex with a girl over 18 is rape too, when she is not wanting to have sex…when she says “No”. Rape is rape no matter how you look at it. With your unusual sexual upbringing, I HOPE you are you clear on this.
By the way, “Happy Birthday” (belated) And Mom: It’s time for “Hector” to break away and live his own life. I think I’ve said enough. Although plenty more can be said, I HOPE I’ve said enough.
Got to run…Peace out.
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle

Natural Cancer Treatments That Really Work
Keith I. Block, MD
Many cancer patients augment conventional medical treatment with complementary medicine, such as nutritional or herbal supplements.
The newest research and decades of successful clinical use show that some of these natural treatments work very effectively to fight cancer and reduce side effects.
Here are the best science-based complementary treatments for cancer. It’s usually fine to take several of these supplements simultaneously, but be sure to talk to your doctor first. For help finding an integrative practitioner, go to http://nccam.nih.gov/health/practitioner.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Cancer specialists often advise patients not to take antioxidant supplements, such as vitamin A or vitamin E, during chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Reason: One way chemotherapy and radiation destroy cancer cells is by causing oxidative stress. According to one theory, antioxidants may be counterproductive because they might have the ability to protect against this oxidative damage.
But new scientific research shows that the opposite is true — antioxidant supplements aren’t powerful enough to counter chemotherapeutic medicines or radiation, but they can reduce the side effects of those treatments and also may battle tumors and extend life.
Recent study: Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and Education analyzed 19 studies involving 1,554 cancer patients who took antioxidants during chemotherapy.
They concluded that most cancer patients are better off using antioxidants in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiation than not using them.
Typical doses…
Vitamin A. 7,500 daily international units (IU), which should only be taken under a doctor’s supervision — patients should have their liver enzymes monitored on an ongoing basis.
Vitamin E. 400 IU daily, taken under a doctor’s supervision (patients should have their platelet counts monitored). It’s best to divide the dose, taking half in the morning and half in the evening. Ideally, take it on an empty stomach.
ASTRAGALUS
The herb astragalus has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Scientific studies show that it strengthens the immune system, increasing the activity of cancer-fighting cells and inhibiting the activity of immune cells that increase inflammation and thereby worsen cancer. Research shows that the herb also can boost the power of some types of chemotherapy.
Recent study: Researchers from the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley, analyzed 34 studies involving 2,815 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who were treated with chemotherapy alone or who were treated with chemotherapy and astragalus.
The patients taking astragalus had a 33% lower risk for death after 12 months and a 24%-to-46% better tumor response than those not taking the herb.
Typical dose: 750 milligrams (mg) to 2,500 mg a day of astragalus extract.
GINSENG
Extracts from the root of this herb often are used as a natural stimulant — to boost mental and physical energy, improve athletic performance and relieve fatigue. Ginseng also may boost energy in cancer patients.
Recent study: Doctors from the North Central Cancer Treatment Group at the Mayo Clinic gave either a placebo or ginseng — at daily doses of 750 mg… 1,000 mg… or 2,000 mg — to 282 cancer patients.
Those taking 1,000 mg or 2,000 mg of ginseng had more energy and vitality and less fatigue. Those taking 750 mg or a placebo had no such improvement. The patients taking the higher doses of ginseng also reported greater physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Typical dose: 500 mg to 1,000 mg twice daily of American ginseng (not Asian red ginseng). Medical supervision is needed for the higher dosage, particularly if you are taking blood-thinning medication.
GLUTAMINE
Chemotherapy can damage the mucous lining of the digestive tract, which stretches from the inside of the mouth to the rectum.
One common result is oral mucositis (OM), a condition in which the mucous lining of the mouth and throat becomes inflamed, painful, ulcerated and prone to infection.
The amino acid glutamine fuels the daily maintenance of the mucous lining of the digestive tract — and supplemental glutamine helps limit or stop its destruction by chemotherapy.
Recent study: Researchers at the University of Connecticut Health Center gave either glutamine powder or a placebo to 326 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy who were developing OM.
Those taking glutamine experienced a significant reduction in the severity of the condition compared with those taking the placebo. In fact, many of those taking glutamine didn’t develop OM at all during their second cycle of chemotherapy.
Typical dose: 5 grams (g) to 10 g, twice daily.
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
Chronic inflammation is known to fuel the growth of tumors. Omega-3 fatty acids, nutrients abundant in fish oil and flaxseed, are potent anti-inflammatories that slow tumor growth and shrink tumors in animal studies. Recent research shows that omega-3 fatty acids may do the same for men with prostate cancer.
Recent study: Researchers at Duke University Medical Center, the University of Michigan and the University of North Carolina studied 140 men with prostate cancer who were scheduled to undergo prostate surgery in 30 days.
They divided the men into four presurgical groups — some took 30 g (about one ounce) of ground flaxseed daily… some ate a low-fat diet and took the flaxseed… some just ate a low-fat diet… and a control group used none of the regimens.
After the surgery, researchers found that the tumors of the men who took flaxseed had grown more slowly — at a 30%-to-40% slower rate than those of the other men.
The men mixed the ground flaxseed in drinks or sprinkled it on yogurt and other foods. The study was reported at the 2007 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
Typical dose: One ounce of ground flaxseed… or 3 g of fish oil.
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a healing technique from traditional Chinese medicine. An acupuncturist inserts tiny needles into the skin along meridians (energy channels in the body) in order to restore and enhance chi, the fundamental force of health and well-being.
Recent study: Doctors at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, studied 138 cancer patients undergoing surgery, dividing them into two groups.
One group received acupuncture and massage after surgery, along with standard care, such as pain-relieving medications. The other group received standard care only.
The acupuncture and massage group had 58% less postsurgical pain and less depression, reported the doctors in the March 2007 issue of Journal of Pain and Symptom Management.
It’s hard to tell specifically what role acupuncture played and what role massage played, but other studies that look at acupuncture and massage alone show that each has benefits, including reducing surgical pain.
Other studies show acupuncture may help prevent or relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and fatigue… chemotherapy-induced decrease in white blood cell count… radiation-induced dry mouth… shortness of breath… and insomnia and anxiety.

Michelle:
This just shows that white candidates can always appeal to racism when running against an OTW.
Trump knows it is ludicrous, but he also knows that when a racists needs a convenient reason to oppose an OTW any ridiculous one will do.
My brothers sent me this from Huffington post. Even though they know its stupid, they use it to support their not liking Obama.

Thank you for responding. First allow me to assure you that I would NEVER force my children to do anything they would not wish to do sexually.
You are correct. I was not raped. I was influenced to have sex with my mother before I knew that it was wrong. She was very adept at sexual persuasion.
You should know that my sisters were older than I was by at least a year but they were not of legal age to decide for themselves. When I started having sex with my sisters I was 7 and the youngest was eight.
I would never allow anyone to expose my children to that experience. My sisters seem to love the upbringing they received from mother. They adore her and obey her every wish.Some even hint to having helped her hurry some of her husbands “to the hell men deserve.”
Now that you, mother’s “Ideal Daughter,” has spoken on the issue. We will see what entails.

Actually, men can be raped. I would say, just not by a woman using the missionary position…talk to near any man that has been to prison and I’m sure you would hear numerous stories…

Hi Mischa,
He needs to stick with TV. I won’t watch that though either…he can be bold/brash/(never) bashful, who cares, he’s a puffed up entertainer at best and a dude with a cock-eyed ‘do’ at worst.
I think the term – cocksure is so funny : ) and I hate that lumped in under ‘brash’ is self assertive and self confident, I see nothing wrong or brash in either of those terms real meanings.
Doug, main dude, you’re grasp on sexual terminology and usages is astounding. And, for all the prison boyz out there, I would concur with your conclusion : )

Hector, you are such the boy. You know you love this pussy.

Zen Lill:
I still don’t get it. A frog eating pussy would be to pleasure the woman. Same with a man eating a pussy. I will eat pussy because I like to give pleasure to a women I’m Muff Diving on, that is for her. And I don’t do that for just anybody, I have to want to make her happy. So what would the frog selling guy really gain? what if the most repulsive woman in the world bought that frog, would he still want to demonstrate to teach the frog? I’m talking about if a really dirty, stinky, woman had bought the frog, would he really want to show the frog how it’s done? I think that the joke only works if the woman who the frog seller sold the frog to was real fine, would he want to demonstrate. Christ Almight, eat pussy is hard work if you really want to do it right. I always end up with a sore neck, and a squished head, but happy in knowing that I sent my lover to the moon and back. Do you think that an erotic frog seller would want to sell that frog to just anybody?

The cows in California have tested positive for radiation from Japan. When will the public be told?
April 2nd, 2011 at 1:08 am
Yeah, main dude. but if a woman is going to go to the trouble to tie up a man and fuck him in the ass what is she getting out of it. Usually when the man is getting fucked in the ass by a woman it is because he asks for it.
A woman gets no sexual pleasure from fucking a man in the ass with a dildo. The belief that she does is a man’s fantasy. Women have no fascination for assholes. Men don’t know how to fuck hers without making it a painful experience for her and she can’t get into sticking some foreign object up his pathetic ass.
If you are talking about men fucking men, then it is still men doing the raping. Personally if I had my druthers I would prefer it if men raped men.

This woman gets sexual pleasure strapping it on n doing a dude. Or a female. You r wrong Cass.

Al-Phonzo,
I think you might’ve just ruined my fave joke iwth that whole dirty, nasty, skanky woman thing, it was funnier last year when you commented on the ability of a frog to calibrate its’ tongue for speed and pressure on a human female : ) I’m going to stick with that comment if you don’t mind.
…a sore neck and a squished head, huh, Al? I hope your head and neck have since recuperated from your last session : ) that totally made me laugh as us females make ‘work’ jokes about – oh never mind, it’s a jaw thing – as long as everyone is happy giving someone else some pleasure who cares…and isn’t giving someone else pleasure a turn on in itself (that’s to address the above comment by Cass)??
Luv, Zen Lill
