BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

I have never been able to experience intimacy without genuine emotion. I do not understand people who do that. I believe its exploitative of others. I learned in the last few years that many pathologicals: Narcissists & Sociopaths mostly, are truly capable of corrupting, abusing and using this. Tiger Woods, Steve Philips and all you others who abuse & use others for sex... you're not addicts - you're predators. The Deeper Meaning of Physical Intimacy by Rabbi Chaim Levine It has the potential for intense holiness and intense corruption, depending who's at the helm -- your soul or your ego. Did the title catch your attention? Why? There is something about this topic that sets off firecrackers in people's minds. Ad agencies use sex almost ubiquitously to prey on your pocketbooks -- they tie it together with selling minivans, french fries, mail delivery services, and computers. What's underneath all this hype is the reality that physical intimacy carries tre...

2009 may well be re­mem­bered for its scandal-ridden head­lines, from ad­mis­sions of ex­tra­mar­i­tal af­fairs by gov­er­nors and sen­a­tors, to cor­po­rate ex­ec­u­tives fly­ing pri­vate jets while cut­ting em­ploy­ee ben­e­fits, and most re­cent­ly, to a mys­te­ri­ous early morn­ing car crash in Flor­i­da. The past year has been marked by a se­ries of mor­al trans­gres­sions by pow­er­ful fig­ures in po­lit­i­cal, busi­ness and celebr­ity cir­cles. A new study ex­plores why pow­er­ful peo­ple – many of whom take a mor­al high ground – don’t prac­tice what they preach.

What goes around comes around, sometimes sooner than later. Wonder how this will affect his book deal? Maybe O.J. Simpson can help. Blagojevich indicted on federal corruption charges by Mike Robinson Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's plan to auction off President Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat marked the culmination of years of scheming for personal gain that included trying to extort a congressman and pressuring businesses to hire his wife, prosecutors alleged Thursday. A sweeping 19-count federal indictment alleges that Blagojevich discussed with aides the possibility of getting a Cabinet post in the new president's administration, substantial fundraising assistance or a high-paying job in exchange for the Senate seat. Obama's deputy press secretary, Josh Earnest, said the White House would not comment on the indictment, which does not allege any wrongdoing by Obama or his top aides. Prosecutors also accused Blagojevich and members of his inner circle of...

Gov. Blagojevich is not just one bad apple, the whole orchard is toxic By Lora Chamberlain The culture of corruption in Illinois is so rampant that the indictment today of Gov Blagojevich is just the tip of the iceberg!!! Please do not be fooled by the media coverage of this event! It is important for you to understand the culture in which Obama was weened and schooled; the big money, wheeling dealing, hard knock school of Illinois politics! Gov. Blagojevich is just particularly open and crass in his selling of favors and gov. jobs for campaign donations but it is and has been going on at all levels of our government; city, county and state, here in Illinois since Abe Lincoln walked the land! Why is Illinois so dang corrupt? There are several reasons, one is that there has been a dynastic maintenance of power and control in the political institutions for decades which has not allowed for reform at any level; the Daleys and Madigans out there, very similar to the situation in Alaska...
