Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Study: Cavegirls were first blondes to have fun
Heheh! This is great:
THE modern gentleman may prefer blondes. But new research has found that it was cavemen who were the first to be lured by flaxen locks.
According to the study, north European women evolved blonde hair and blue eyes at the end of the Ice Age to make them stand out from their rivals at a time of fierce competition for scarce males.
The study argues that blond hair originated in the region because of food shortages 10,000-11,000 years ago. Until then, humans had the dark brown hair and dark eyes that still dominate in the rest of the world. Almost the only sustenance in northern Europe came from roaming herds of mammoths, reindeer, bison and horses. Finding them required long, arduous hunting trips in which numerous males died, leading to a high ratio of surviving women to men.
Lighter hair colours, which started as rare mutations, became popular for breeding and numbers increased dramatically, according to the research, published under the aegis of the University of St Andrews.

On the other hand…..they were easier to spot in the dark! Lets do Redheads next. Or not…
“On the other hand…..they were easier to spot in the dark!”
LOL!
BTW, I’ve had a few ppl ask me ‘why’ I’ve taken my pic down. I haven’t – it’s just been moved to the ‘about’ page … now those needin’ a dartboard target can print it out, blow it up, and place it at the bullseye
Done.
Don’t know ’bout dat; I think the farther North humanity migrated, the less pigmentation was needed for UV protection.
(That’s my theory, an’ I’m stickin’ to it…)
“nothern European women evolved blond hair and blue eyes..” has anything else ever evolved? “rare mutations” perhaps all of the blonde jokes are far older then anybody could have imagined.
Peace
I still have the hots for my beautiful black wife, so I probably would have missed out on this newfangled Evolution thingamajig back in the cave man days.
“Popular for breeding” – interesting choice of words. Sounds like a pickup line devised by an egghead after he has had his very first beer ever.
This is far more serious than you think!
Uh-oh – Dana is right! This is serious! Somebody contact … uh, Greenpeace? The ACLU, maybe?
“Blonded By The Right” wasn’t that song big in the 70’s?
Doug, that was the Japanese version!
I think someone has been watching Clan of the Cave Bear with Daryl Hannah too often.

Ohhh and I miss your photo on every page Dear
Lorica:
I was trying to find a good photo of Daryl Hannah from Clan for the story on my blog, but couldn’t find a really decent one.
Steve asked:
Does it matter?
And we know, of course, from cavewoman Daryl Hannah, that blonde cavewomen invented shaving their legs, too!
