If you're a monkey. it doesn't get any better than this.
Dope-Smoking, Menstruating Monkey Study Got $3.6 Million in Tax Dollars
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a division of the federal government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH), has spent $3,634,807 over the past decade funding research that involves getting monkeys to smoke and drink drugs such as PCP, methamphetamine (METH), heroin, and cocaine and then studying their behavior, including during different phases of the female monkeys’ menstrual cycles.
After a full day of stretching the boundaries of scientific knowledge to dizzying new heights, zoo officials had to use a triple dosage tranquilizer gun to get this stoned, menstruating monkey to drop the bag of Cheetos.
UPDATE: Nancy Pelosi has just introduced legislation in Congress for the Simian Voting Rights Act.
On 7th June, the US was a signatory to the OAS declaration on the Falklands Islands, or, as the Obama administration prefers to call them, the Malvinas.

So much for a UK/US relationship which we're told is not only "special" but "essential". Obama and his wife were only too happy to avail themselves of the lavish British hospitality shown to them on their recent State visit. Members of Parliament & journos fawned over him in an embarrassing spectacle after his speech in Westminster Hall - an honour given to few world leaders - each wanting to 'touch the hem of his garment'.
The Legislative Assembly of the Falkland Islands has responded to the OAS document:
“The people of the Falkland Islands have a right to self-determination, enshrined in international law. We fully support the UK government’s current resolute position, which confirms that the issue of sovereignty is non-negotiable”.
I wonder what part of that Obama doesn't understand.
As for Cameron and the government's deliberate policy of trashing of our Armed Forces - they are letting down all the brave hearts who currently serve. Not one aircraft carrier do we have. Our country has never been as weak in defence - I think you have to go back to the 17thC to find a comparable situation with such reduced financial resources and lack of equipment to support our troops.
It's ironic that this should happen one week before the 29th anniversary of the Argentinian surrender on 14th June 1982.
Btw, I came across an interesting article, When Treason Becomes The Norm: Why The Proposition Nation, Not Islam, Is Our Primary Enemy, which you might like. It attempts to address the roots of the issues facing the people of the USA and Europe in contemporary politics. At the least, it's food for thought. Some of the language/views seem a little extreme but the fundamental reasoning behind our current predicament is sound.
Philip and Elizabeth met in 1934 when Elizabeth was 13 years old at the wedding of Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece. It was love at first sight for Elizabeth and she started writing letters to Philip. The first photograph of the couple together was taken in 1939.
They became secretly engaged in 1946. Because of her age, her family at first opposed her marriage to Philip, but relented. Their engagement was officially announced on July 9, 1947. Elizabeth and Philip were married on November 20, 1947 at Westminster Abbey in London, England.
After sixty-four years the Queen hasn't killed him yet. The following are some excerpts from a Daily Mail article on the Prince's Bidenesque utterances.
Do you still throw spears at each other?’ To Aboriginal leader William Brin during a visit to the Aboriginal Cultural Park in Queensland, 2002.
It's actually known as "Outback Frisby."
How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?’ To a Scottish driving instructor in 1995.
The Prince was clairvoyant in making a future reference to the reason why Scotland was deemed the "Country Where You Are Most Likely To Get Knocked On Your Ass" by the United Nations.
If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.’ To a meeting of the World Wildlife Fund in 1986.
Oh pother! Just add a reference to armpits and assholes and I heard the same thing about my wife's Italian relatives.
‘If it doesn’t fart or eat hay, she isn’t interested.’ On his daughter, Princess Anne.
I tried it. It's much, much harder than you think. I found out it's all in the sequence. Start with the hay.
Did anybody else watch Tony Wiener's press conference? Of all the things he said, none of them were more destructive than when he was asked whether he knew for sure that all of the females he was communicating with were adults. He would only say they were, "to the best of my knowledge."
I have the feeling that this festering liberal POS has a whole lot more splainin' and apologizin' and resignin' to do.
Fatima Abdallah was a divorced Muslim woman who allegedly killed herself by slamming her head into a coffee table and a tile floor. It has been ruled an accident.
Did an honor killing occur on August 17, 2009, in Tampa? Could there have been a cover up by authorities?
These are the kinds of questions people in Tampa are asking about the death of Fatimah Abdallah, a 48 year-old woman, who was divorced by her husband, because she did not bear him children.
Tampa Police seem to have bought the story relatives tell that Fatima Abdallah killed herself by “repeatedly slamming her head onto a coffee table and the tile floor”.
However, Tampa Rescue said she looked like someone beat her up and disagree that she could have killed herself in that manner. In addition to head, face and lip injuries, she had several fractured lower ribs and hemorrhaging in that area, which is consistent with cases of blunt trauma to the rib cage.
Moreover, the victim died in the home of her brother, Muhammad Abdullah Hmeid. According to Private Investigator Bill Warner, her brother has "aggravated battery, deadly weapon priors", which should have raised some alarm bells.
Finally, family members waited nearly 2 ½ hours before calling 911. (Why wouldn't they contact authorities immediately?)
Despite these contradictions, the Hillsborough Medical Examiner ruled that Fatimah Abdallah's death in August of 2009 was an accident. The ME ruled that during an argument with her mother, Fatimah Abdallah threw herself to the floor, smashed her face into a coffee table, and died from the resulting brain hemorrhage.
I rather think the Hillsborough County ME's Office opened a can of worms on this one. Better to let a jury settle the matter of whether this was an accidental death or not.
There is a rally for Fatima planned for June 10th in Tampa. More here.
And the liberal media is still carrying this jerk's water. I am sick to death over the lack of scruples and decorum exhibited by members of Congress and how the likes of Barbara Walters, et al., ignore or justify their actions.
TEL AVIV—Violence along the border between Syria and the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights escalated and claimed casualties on Sunday, as Israeli soldiers opened fire on demonstrators in two locations who sought to march across the frontier on the anniversary of the outbreak of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
Syria's state news agency said 20 people were killed and more than 280 were injured in the Israeli attack on Syrians and Palestinians, who were demonstrating the "undaunted will of the youths' commitment to resistance and determination to return to their occupied lands."
Israeli forces open fire on protesters at the Golan Heights border, where a pro-Palestinian demonstration had gathered to commemorate "Naksa" day, the 44th anniversary of the start of the 1967 Middle East War.
Israeli officials said Damascus allowed the protesters to reach the border to distract attention from its repression of weekslong antiregime protests. Israeli officials also said Lebanese authorities avoided a flareup by declaring the border a closed military zone.
Just for a few weeks. We know just the place where they're needed.
