BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

The older I get, the more I realize that one of the big things I have missed a lot of in my life - is love. Not just the word but the feeling . The unconditional feeling. Oh, I have given it out aplenty and been slapped in the face with it. Part of it because I am a magnet for pathological types. I was raised by one so this makes unfortunate sense. When the Beatles said "the love you make is equal to the love you take" they didn't have me in mind. According to psychologist Ilan Shrira, narcissists are more likely to have a history of short-term sexual conquests compared to people who consider commitment the most important aspect of a relationship. "Narcissists have a heightened sense of sexuality, but they tend to view sex very differently than other people do," said Shrira. "They see sexuality more in terms of power, influence and as something daring, in contrast to people with low narcissistic qualities who associated sex more with caring and love....

With difficult state elections and a crucial military decision looming, President Barack Obama sat down with his wife Michelle last month to give an in-depth magazine interview about a subject that has hitherto not ranked highly on the White House political agenda — the state of the first couple’s marriage. The president used the occasion to complain that when he recently hopped aboard Air Force One to fly his wife to New York for dinner and a Broadway show, “people made it into a political issue”. Obama went on to insist that his marriage was “separate and apart from a lot of the silliness of Washington”. He then proceeded to discuss his romantic ups and downs in startling detail with a reporter from The New York Times Magazine. Publication of that unusually candid interview highlighted an intriguing contradiction that has begun to haunt the Obama White House. The president’s family has become one of his most valuable political assets. Yet the attempts by the Obamas to shield their pr...

In the 7 or so months Obambi's been in office he seems to show how naive, inexperienced and full of cr*p he is at every turn. He flip flops, backpedals and/ or basically steps in it every day. Granted I have stepped in it numerous times in my life - I am human. That happens. But this guy's the POTUS. He's got advisors all around him. Where are these people? To my gay friends, I believe your day is well past due. And don't look to Obama for help anymore. Not that he got your vote, you're being dumped like a one-night-stand. MAKE THE ASK The NEW REPUBLIC has made no secret of its high regard for Barack Obama. Which makes it all the more distressing for us to observe the approach that his administration is taking on gay rights. During the campaign, Obama said all the right things (well, almost all--like most national politicians, he wouldn't endorse same-sex marriage). He invoked the importance of winning "equality" and "dignity" and ...

This whole story is way too familiar to me. Wonder if Sanford would have called any woman he was scr**ing his "soulmate" in order to sanitize things. I say 'yes.' And now he is going to 'try to fall back in love with his wife'? WTH? I hope and pray for the sake of the children and her sanity, his wife Jenny puts his lying, cheating, can't keep his pants on, narcissistic butt on the nearest curb. Shut up Gov. Sanford! You're digging a big hole for yourself with your mouth and your B.S. And just wait until you do it again... and you WILL do it again. What are you going to say then? That sex-addiction and being a womanizer is your real "soulmate"? Spare me. from the Tell-It-Like-It-Is Reverend Amy: “Put a sock in it!” Well, that’s what I would think God would say to Governor Mark Sanford who canNOT keep his big mouth shut these days. See, Governor Sanford said that God wants him to keep his job as governor, and to not resign . Here’s a lit...

By Marylou Barry Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would have accepted it from anyone, even if you knew that person placed absolutely no value on you, your family, your future, or your right to go on living? That's exactly what hundreds of single people are doing right now in Gaza, the southern coastal region of Israel that was ethnically cleansed of Jews and surrendered to Islamic terrorists by the Ariel Sharon administration four years ago. According to the Associated Press article "Hamas gets into matchmaking biz," Hamas's Tayseer Association for Marriage and Development in Gaza is now in the profession of introducing men and women seeking marriage partners. Tayseer, which handles the more mundane functions of the Hamas political/military outfit that runs Gaza, bills itself as the "humanitarian" arm of that terror organization – quite a turnabout for hoodlums whose only accomplishments to date consist of robbery, rape, kidnapping, murder an...

AN IN-DEPTH VIEW I am snipping this from my friend, Helen's blog . There was recently another chance for my ex to attempt a tactic called HOOVERING . Stopping by to see the kids I was treated to a gift, an offer to take me out to dinner and declarations that he still loved me, didn't understand why I left... I didn't even bother to remind him that he pushed me out of his life, verbally - emotionally- sexually abused me (and its documented), that he still tries to financially abuse me via the kids. Telling me what a wonderful woman I am, how pretty I still am and how missed is all nice - but I don't fall for things like that anymore. He was not pleased when I said "no" reminded him that I didn't love him anymore and hadn't for about 9 years and walked away. He is now pushing the kids away by bad-mouthing me to them; which I don't do to him. Children are not dumb. Abusers never ever care about the reality of their behavior. As my counselor expl...

Yes, that was not a typo. THREE YEARS OLD! Positively depraved. Pakistan: A father has pleaded for help, as a local influential man has demanded him to marry his three-year-old daughter to his son, threatening to kill her otherwise. Addressing a press conference at the National Press Club here on Sunday Rahib Shar, resident of village Aatna Mori, taluka Sindhri has accused that one Abdul Rahim Shar of threatening to kidnap and kill his three-year-old daughter Saleemat if he did not marry her to his son. The father of the girl said that he had asked Rahim to wait till his daughter reaches the age of maturity, but instead he was threatened with dire consequences. Rahib Shar said he had submitted applications to the Mirpurkhas DPO and the Mirpurkhas district and sessions judge. But despite the directives of the DPO and orders of the sessions judge to register a case against the accused, the Phuladyyoon SHO was hesitant to take any action and not providing him protection, he accused. He...

Looks the 'Religion of Peace' is at it again... abusing & killing women. Business as usual. I will let the below speak for itself. Where is N.O.W.? Where are the women's advocates? And you ladies who are all busy worshipping the ObamaMessiah -- put down the Kool Aid and send some emails (see end of this post) MAJOR Hat tip to Islamic Horrors The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received information from a remote area of Balochistan province, that five women were buried alive, allegedly by the younger brother of Mr. Sadiq Umrani, the provincial minister and a prominent leader of the Pakistan People's Party, the ruling party. However, police have still not arrested the perpetrators one month after the incident. CASE DETAILS: (excerpts) The incident of the women being buried alive occurred in a remote village, the Baba Kot, 80 kilometers away from Usta Mohammad city of Jafferabad district. It is believed that due to the influence of the minister and his brot...

First I didn't go looking for this article, it was sent by a friend. But I feel compelled to blog about though I know not everyone will agree with me. I am no prude and I try not to engage in sanctimonius judgment of others. But I am somewhat appalled at the way the media tries to sanitize & excuse what these women do for a living; partly because the partners find it acceptable. I always feel sad that pretty women have to make their livings in this way. I am well aware men watch this stuff -- you can tell because they find "real" women ugly or 'not good enough.' It's bad enough we live in a sexualized society -- and it's bad enough when people who cheat either blame the other party they cheated with, lie about it or say they were 'driven to it' by a 'bad marriage' or some other nonsense -- but writing about this as if its O.K.? Every guy wants a porn star in the bedroom. I am fine with that... but there are limits to what I find acc...
