[YAHOO] Bare chested, wearing an ankle-length dress, painted yellow, green and red, with flowers or leaves in his hair, it takes Brazil's Emerson Munduruku two hours to transform into Uyra Sodoma, his drag queen alter ego. This is news. Really. You should pay attention.
Whether carrying seeds, branches and other natural materials, Munduruku's creation Uyra, often submerged up to the waist in water, is a colourful extension of the earth and nature. It's all natural, like silt and stuff. And it's beee-autiful, 'cuz he's a drag queen.
His mission: to travel around Amazon villages, teaching conservation through performance art. Yeah. Performance art. Too highbrow for the likes of us. Civilizations rise and fall on the quality of their performance art.

"That violence rocked me to my core... I started to get closer to women, transvestites, and understand more about racism and homophobia. I became closer to the city and the people."
I'll lead up to it, with what might be the best combination of funny and obnoxious lyrics of all time - 'Eventually me and a friend, sort of drifted along into S & M...
Just a guess - it didn't take much to nudge him in that direction. This article does lend itself to much snark bait - have at it, folks!

"Our stories can be told through the prism of pain and an immediate metamorphosis. But our stories are much more complex fooked up than that," he said. "Also, I talk about myself in third person a lot, so that's intense"

Hello my name is Uyra Sodoma, (his drag queen alter ego.)
And with that utterance, the villagers screamed "Hide the children and watch your butts!"

Farcebook is seriously overvalued; but then, advertising in general usually is (that's FB's core product).

Maybe Trey Gowdy (or whatever wind bag serves on the appropriate committee) can get right on it.
What happened to the slime ball insiders a year or so ago who sold their stock just before the announcement of their company's massive data breach? Uh, like, zero.
FB (and their German, Chinese, and other statist bums and buddies) is a disgusting lot.

Reminds me of all those old PC games of Railroad Tycoon™: issue railroad stock, Pump N' Dump....
And all of this from people that call themselves paragons of the Left, hmmm?

I'd say investigate but not unless prosecution is a part of this. Also, not as long as Peter Strzok's wife, SEC Director Melissa Hodgman is still in place. It has been said that she has blocked the FBI's probe of the Clinton Foundation for more than 21 months and still counting.

An Israeli study recently published in the prestigious journal Neurology examined the effect of medical cannabis therapy on children on the autistic spectrum.
The study, led by Dr. Adi Aran, director of the pediatric neurology unit at Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, found that cannabis treatment with a high concentration of CBD (the non-psychoactive substance considered to have medicinal properties) improved the condition of 80% of the children in the study.
The study included 60 children, with an average age of 12, whose condition had not improved with conventional drug therapy. 60, IMO, a bit small sample size

Putting pot on schedule 1 made it nearly impossible to do studies. Now that things have loosened up a bit, expect to see a flood of therapeutic uses, especially for CBD.

Still hard to understand how Big Pharma missed making bazillions on derivatives from a weed that's so easy to grow. Either the claims are bogus or somebody missed the boat a couple hundred years ago.

No, Murcek, that's the really the reason it's been illegal all these years. Anybody can grow it.
How do you overcharge somebody for something they can get from a windowbox? (Unless, of course, they're in California...)

Get the FDA involved. They'll figure out a way, like they did with colchicine.

The fact that the numbers are not being fudged downwards says something. I'll wait for the next-quarter revision before I even try to guess what's going on.

The point of comparison is: what would the number be if HRC had won? But then again, I don't want to even think about that alternate universe.

.. a lot of the Left still lives there, they just share an intersection with us here at the moment.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
