WOMEN'S PANTIES THE KEY TO PEACE?


I loved this! No, its not about Annapolis (though I am sure the plebes at the Naval Academy would love some of these under their beds...), nor am I having a Monty Python-moment. Just read on... it's a cheeky but effective way to make a point, ladies!

Could Panties Be the Key to Peace?

Women all over the planet have found a unique tool to protest the brutal military regime in Myanmar (formerly Burma).

Their secret weapon? Underwear.

Thongs, polka-dots, or Granny panties, with tags from Target or Victoria's Secret – the style and brand don't matter one bit. According to the UK's Daily Mail, the superstitious leaders of the military junta in Myanmar believe that any physical contact with a pair of women's panties will "rob them of their power."

So, a protest group called Lanna Action for Burma has banded together with the aim of getting women from every nation to send some of their unmentionables to the Myanmar embassies within their home countries. The name of the mission is, of course, "Panties for Peace."

And while the mailbags full of lacy delicates may not flat-out end the fighting, it serves as "an extremely strong message in Burmese and in all Southeast Asian culture," activist Liz Hilton told the Daily Mail.

If you want to join in the panty protest, just pick up a pair or two and visit lannaactionforburma.blogspot.com for details.

Lacy underthings? Lacy Underthings? why waste your lacy underthings on these brutes?
Send them mens' scratchy underthings, with extant skidmarks, and tell them they come from women!
How the hell are they going to know the difference?
Please send the lacy underthings to me who will really appreciate them as those momzers never could!

A Day to Bare Our Souls - and Find Ourselves

The lack of ritual makes Yom Kippur's power elusive for many. How do we make meaning from the holiest but most daunting day on the Jewish calendar? By Rahel Musleah My friend Anat dreads Yom Kippur. Fasting makes her grumpy, and by morning she already has a headache. Nor does the synagogue setting encourage atonement, meditation or self-reflection for her. As a nonobservant Jew, she says, "my relationship with God is such that I can't even begin to atone for what I do—nor do I want to. What's left are my relationships with other people, and I try to take care of those on a daily basis." Still, says Anat, the strong aura of the day, redolent of childhood and community, draws her to spend Yom Kippur in the synagogue. "If this is a holy day I'll treat it as such and stand with others around me. Every year I think about the millions of people who are doing exactly what I am doing on Yom Kippur. It doesn't matter how secular I am. This is my commitme

'Fat People Aren't Unstable' -- For This We Needed a Study?

First let me say I don't like being fat. Yes, I diet and yes, to the degree my disability (unrelated to my weight) allows me - I do exercise. A while back someone posted really malicious things about my weight, my character and even my disability online. Even throwing in a very twisted, backward and upside-down version of what really occurred between us. To wit (edited for foul language): You used the internet to track him down after 30 years, which wasn’t too hard because he’s a published writer. You got him to agree to meet up with you. When he did meet up with you, to his horror, he saw that his ex-girlfriend from college had ballooned into a 275 lb fat pig with poor hygiene and he didn’t want to bang you. He politely excused himself by saying he couldn’t do this to his wife. You then began stalking him and his family, driving by his house, sending letters to anyone with whom you thought you could slander his good name. His poor wife was left with no choice but to report you

Miriam's Cup

Image
Several new Passover seder rituals are being adopted by Jewish familes to honor the role of Miriam, Moses's sister and the Prophetess in the Exodus, and to highlight the contributions of women to Jewish culture, both past and present. A second cup, called Miriam's Cup, is being added to the Passover dinner table along with Elijah's Cup. Miriam's Cup is filled with water and symbolizes the miracle of Miriam's well, which sustained the Israelites during their long journey in the desert.
