Curing the Headache

Speechless?

Here are a few sound bytes from the meetings of the Muscogee County Library Board and Muscogee County School Board last night… they speak for themselves.

"I have a severe headache," said board member John Wells…

Bobby Hecht: "I'm speechless."

"One said it looked like an explosion in a junkyard. The other said, 'I'd pay 10 percent if you find others,' " Dr. Tom Wade told the forum…

"When the city council considered the Paley sculpture, they spoke negatively about it," he (Tom Wade) said. "I feel confident if they had voted they would have voted against it. We don't have any means to spend public funds. We are going back to the drawing board and seeking public input -- like we should have in the beginning."

"We have not decided how to use the $250,000," Wade said. "I'm hoping Mr. Paley won't want the negative publicity and will let us out of the contract."

"The primary responsibility of this board is to advance education in Muscogee County," said Philip Schley, acknowledging the ongoing controversy.

"It's like throwing a stick of dynamite into the debate," Wells said.

"I don't have any problem with the decision," he said, "but I do have a severe headache. Excuse me."

It would appear that the mighty school/library boards have yielded the field to public opinion… they are not yet however, out from behind the woodshed. They signed a legal contract with the scrap dealer… er, artist and owe him an installment of $100,000 this week. As mentioned above, the board is clinging to the hope that he will try to avoid the headache that member John Wells was sporting at the meeting, and simply slink away back into his wrecking yard… umm, art gallery.

I wonder if they do pedophile priests?

This little story is about 6 inches from being completely unbelievable and if I wasn’t so sure that there are those who exist on this level, I’d just ignore it all together…

A trainee nun who was crucified in an exorcism at a monastery in eastern Romania and left to die has been buried in a religious ceremony.

The novice, Maricica Irina Cornici, died last week after being tied to a cross, gagged and starved.

Faking It

From Reuters via CNN, this story is likely to raise a few eyebrows but I’m not sure any of the guys who are attached to them will be surprised… or maybe, they will.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (Reuters) -- Women may be able to fool their partners by faking an orgasm but a brain scanner will catch them every time, a conference heard on Monday.

"Women can imitate orgasm quite well," Gert Holstege told a fertility meeting on Monday. "But there is nothing really happening in the brain."

In the brain? I’m not sure they are even looking in the right place…
