White men can't jump?

Dear Readers:

There was a headline and article on "LiveScience.com" today that caught my eye: Why Can't Elephants Jump?

Well after a lot of hemming and hawing, and even more gobble-de-gook, it turns out elephants can't jump for the same reason white men can't jump!

Looks like this might be another "headline' day: "Switch to jail uniforms takes away pride and dignity, inmate says'!


That's right kids, this guy is really on the P.C. bandwagon:

If it's true that clothes make the man, convicted robber Kevin Roberts says wearing orange coveralls at Her Majesty's Penitentiary in St. John's, N.L., isn't making him a better one. "We're here to rehabilitate people, right?" he said as he sat in a small interview room in Newfoundland and Labrador's largest jail. "The clothing is not helping. Absolutely not."

Inmates at the penitentiary started wearing standard-issue jumpsuits, shorts, T-shirts, underwear and sneakers this year in place of their own clothing in part to curb contraband and related bullying.

Prison-issue clothes help staff distinguish inmates from volunteers, maintenance workers and other visitors, Sauve said in an interview. Federal inmates also make much of the clothing, as part of prison employment programs.

Meanwhile, a growing body of research suggests that clothes do, in fact, affect how people think and feel. A study last year co-authored by Abraham Rutchick, a psychology professor at California State University, Northridge, found that formal clothes such as a business suit make the wearer feel powerful while broadening responses to cognitive tests. 

BUT! These aren't businessmen folks....., THEY'RE INMATES!

Here's another one: "Science Explains Why Your Mom Calls You by Your Brother's Name!"


Simple, it's because she always liked him BEST!

AND ONE MORE: "Toddlers have shot at least 23 people this year!"

Meanwhile, the NRA has said once again that if more people in the toddler's family also had guns there wouldn't be so much shooting going on!


(It's also a well known fact that more people have been killed by toddlers within the past year than by terrorists, so I think we have our priorities wrong!)
