South African Champ Hit By Drugs Ban

South African Featherweight Champion Matima Molefe has been banned for two years after testing positive for anabolic steroids. 

Matima Molefe on roids.

The doctors in the article are trying to say steroids are a waste of time for boxers, but that's bullshit, because the benefits are huge. What they need to do is get up on it with the latest testing so they're not too far behind the curve.

Life's pathetic quest for material gain has never been so eloquently brushed aside...


One guy writing excellent material on how to live life today and also make great income is Tim Ferriss, author of The Four Hour Work Week. He's also got an absolutely pimpin' blog.

Science Majors Vanishing Into Thin Air

Was reading a chapter in Thomas Friedman's "The World Is Flat" about the sorry state of American university and college students who will not be able to fill the technology void needed to sustain the country's position as world's the leading technology developer, let alone find jobs that will pay enough to pay back their humungous student loans. And then I came across this post in Mark Suster's blog Both Sides Of The Table.

Politricktians And Their Dirty Deeds

Someone sent me an email to pass along to 20 others and it gave me the idea to start a blog to rant and rave about the Good, the Bad, and the Fluggin' Ugly of stuff I come across.

I don't usually send mail like this, but I got a niece in the marines, and if this stuff is true, it really bothers me.  Read on ...

This is one to forward.  It's hard to imagine that it wasn't among the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution.

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.

 

Monday we learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?

  
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.

This is an idea that we should address.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. 

Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term,

that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.

The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. 

I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

 Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
