Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

Reporting
CBS 5) BERKELEY A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.
Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."
Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.
As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."
The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.
"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents.
"The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soliders would become gay," explained Hammond.
The Pentagon told CBS 5 that the proposal was made by the Air Force in 1994.
"The Department of Defense is committed to identifying, researching and developing non-lethal weapons that will support our men and women in uniform," said a DOD spokesperson, who indicated that the "gay bomb" idea was quickly dismissed.
However, Hammond said the government records he obtained suggest the military gave the plan much stronger consideration than it has acknowledged.
"The truth of the matter is it would have never come to my attention if it was dismissed at the time it was proposed," he said. "In fact, the Pentagon has used it repeatedly and subsequently in an effort to promote non-lethal weapons, and in fact they submitted it to the highest scientific review body in the country for them to consider."
Military officials insisted Friday to CBS 5 that they are not currently working on any such idea and that the past plan was abandoned.
Gay community leaders in California said Friday that they found the notion of a "gay bomb" both offensive and almost laughable at the same time.
"Throughout history we have had so many brave men and women who are gay and lesbian serving the military with distinction," said Geoff Kors of Equality California. "So, it's just offensive that they think by turning people gay that the other military would be incapable of doing their job. And its absurd because there's so much medical data that shows that sexual orientation is immutable and cannot be changed."

--- Yeah!
The Project was called: Dr. Manlove; or how I learned to relax and Love the Butt.
The experimental chemical to be used was dubbed RU4-69 and was comprised of:
Human Pheromones
Airborne Steroids
A 4 pack of Wild Berry Wine Coolers
Initial Testing found some rare, but serious side effects including:
Antiquing
Blower’s Cramp
A rare form of Corporal Tunnel Syndrome: A syndrome where you Tunnel Corporals.
And why is the Air Force Developing this Weapon? Isn’t this the Navy’s jurisdiction?
7.5 Million Dollars? Hey Air Force! Save some money and get an “Il Divo” CD, it has the same effect.
When will the Military learn that homosexuality is a natural biological occurrence most evident when you force 18 to 24 year old males to live, sleep, and shower together? Have we, as a society, learned nothing from “Top Gun?”
I believe it was Bill Cruz who once said…
“He who strives to destroy homosexuality will only succeed in creating it.”

Spiked Genitals Spur Beetle Evolution
The genitals of male beetles are extraordinarily spiny, helping to anchor the males inside females as they attempt to impregnate them. Unfortunately, these spikes damage the females, potentially compromising the entire reproductive mission.
Now scientists have discovered an evolutionary arms race with these beetle genitalia, with female genitals growing tougher the spinier the male genitals are. The speed at which genitals change in this battle of the sexes could help shed light on how new species evolve.
In the new research, evolutionary biologist Göran Arnqvist at Uppsala University in Sweden and his colleagues investigated seven species of beetles. A number of these species have more than 100 spikes on male genitals, while others have none.
Arnqvist and his colleagues found that as male genitals became spikier and more harmful, females evolved tougher genitals to defend themselves.
Scientists are hoping that the new findings can shed some light on how humans have evolved.
“We can now only guess as to how this research correlates to the evolution of man,” Arnqvist said, “For instance, humans may have evolved at a faster rate than beetles, because I can copulate with the spiniest of these creatures and not be harmed.”
Arnqvist was later seen putting lipstick on a beetle he referred to as Stephanie, before continuing his “research,” which consisted of dinner and drinks at a local discothèque.

"This whole 'Pop Stand' business if for the BIRDS, I say!"
I shall address, in this blog entry here, the theme of Popular News.
The news of the day is not like it used to be in the Olde Days. Nooooo WAY!
Not like it was in Olden Times.
Today you have these young hotel baronesses drinking and driving and
shooting illicit movies and running around with rich money-making men and
giving you panty peeps for your more rude, pulpy magazine photos. That's the
"news" of the day! Hooooooo-WEE!
In my day, in Olden Times, things were MUCH different.
Why the news of the day might be that a beaver had finally bitten through a
log, and finally built his family a dam, and now they could swim underneath
it or stalk prey in it or look for fish, or prevent flooding, or CREATE
flooding, or whatever the hell those beavers used to build those damn dams
for!
The point is that THAT was your fancy “5 o’clock news” right there!
In my day, it might be the talk of the county that some palsied boy had
finally whittled himself a wooden whistle out of a cocoanut, so’s he could
call out to his caretakers when he was a’ frighted, or stalked by bears or
bullies! Why we’d save the little idiot child straight away then, wouldn't
we?!
What can you say for these people of TODAY on the other hand, I ask ye?!
Shame! Shame, I say!
But in my day, why it might be “headline-worthy” if some old man and some
old woman took a stroll across the town square! Especially if a dinosaur had
time-travelled forward just at that exact second and ate ‘em whole – bones
and all! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! Then dove back into his time-portal and got gone
with his old self!
Oh my gosh! Dead old people eaten by some daggone dinosaur!
Hallelujah! I’m gonna go get me some dinner!
Now THAT would be a good “Pop Stand” story!
None of this “Oooooooh, there’s a video game you just must see! Ooooooooh,
look at this moving picture show with its starlets and horseless carriages
getting into all kinds of pickles!”
None of this “Hey, did you see these presidential candidates? Each one of
'em out-goofies the next!”
Not in my day, boy. Give me “Ole’ Hickory,” Ole’ Andrew Jackson, shootin’
men on the White House lawn for failin’ to compliment his old lady’s
homemade lemonade-and-gin punch sufficiently.
THAT was news. THEM was the days.
All you young people today though?
Feh.
I’m through with you.
Hey though, would ya ...
Would you mind fetchin’ me out a bit of caribou jerky and a sasparilla soda
‘fore ye head out?
I’m ever so obliged to yuh.
Feelin’ peckish now. But more sleepy actually.
Ah yes, a nice nap will just …
About …
Fit …
The bill …
Up in heah ….
Dumb "Pop Stand" ... zzzzz ... nonsense!!!
SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Isaiah Washington Kicked Off Grey's! (Star Magazine)
ABC and Isaiah Washington’s rep have confirmed that he was not asked back to the hit series Grey's Anatomy for it’s fourth season next fall.
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports that the decision was due only in part to Washington's on-set troubles, and was a result of a "pattern of problematic behavior."
Washington’s publicist, Howard Bragman, says that Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes called Isaiah late Thursday and told him he would not be invited back to the show next season.
The decision to fire Washington came after an on set spats with co-star Patrick Dempsey, where Washington used the word “faggot” and forced T.R. Knight to come out to the public.
Washington has since apologized and even filmed a public service announcement for GLAAD. His publicist released this statement from Washington upon hearing the news: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."
Washington has gone as far as to take back his apology and openly refer to all homosexual persons as being “gayballs”.
“I’ll start my own show mutha^%$^%$”, said Washington, “Yippie Ki-Yah Muthafucka. We live in a country with walls, you need me on that wall.”
Washington went on to quote 30 other blockbuster movies.
Isaiah is to be replaced with a more reserved, less controversial choice, R. Kelly

Joe Lieberman is a fucking idiot
Sen. Joe Lieberman, perhaps the most pathologically insane congressman
serving, has strongly suggested the US use military force against Iran
- citing everything from nuclear weapons programs to interference in
Iraq. Says the senator: "We can tell them we want them to stop that,
but if there's any hope of the Iranians living according to the
international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear
weapons development, we can't just talk to them."
Let's start with the basics. Iran does not have a nuclear weapons
program. There is no evidence to support they are developing a
nuclear weapons program. Why is it that, not 5 years after the Iraq
WMD fiasco, this moron doesn't think twice about pointing fingers at
the Iranians and making wild claims about WMD. ZERO EVIDENCE to
support his position. The press, of course, eats it all up
unquestioningly. CNN now alternates coverage of "if we knew then what
we know now" apologetics with "Iran is an impending danger to us now
and we are unconcerned with what we don't know."
"If there's any hope of the Iranians living according to the
international rule of law..."
What a joke. They have adhered, practically to the letter, to the
Non-proliferation treaty. The US has violated it like R Kelly on a 13
year old (excuse the reference, but it is popstand.net). Joe
Lieberman is in no position to talk about abiding by international law
as he supports a completely illegal (as per international law)
invasion and occupation of Iraq. Lieberman adds: "If they don't play
by the rules, we've got to use our force, and to me that would include
taking military action to stop them from doing what they're doing."
The rule, of course, is "Do what Joe Lieberman says." If the
"rules"
were actually international law, then the US should be prepared for
"military action to stop [us] from doing what [we're] doing."
Iran does not scare me; this fucking wacko from Connecticut does.
Islamic Jihadists seem coldly rational by comparison.

Hanoi Hilton Finds God
In an exclusive interview with bewildered elderly lady Barbara
Walters, Paris Hilton says that she has found God while in prison.
Apparently God, guilty of tax evasion, is also doing time in the
women's clink (a symbolic victory for both the IRS and feminists).
While Hilton may have fooled that old broad into sending her a few
boxes of squares, it is a fun thought to think of Paris Hilton going
through the whole Islam/prison experience after 10 days doing lady
time. I will support a islamic militant Paris Ali Jinnah upon
release. That would be pretty sick.

Three-thousand bees force evacuation of fundraiser
LIGONIER, Indiana (AP) -- A swarm of honeybees temporarily disrupted a charity fundraising event, but no one reported being stung. (Thank heavens!)
Authorities evacuated the area Saturday after the swarm of about 3,000 bees emerged from the woods around the West Noble High School football field, where 700 people were participating in a fundraising walk for the American Cancer Society.
The bees landed on a large umbrella shading the campsite.
A local beekeeper, Matt Green, used a smoke machine to calm the bees and coax them into a beehive he brought to the field. The event was delayed about 45 minutes. Matt, made several failed attempts to remove the bees, including playing a magic flute, which only attracted rats, and constructing a mini bee circus, in which his plan was to entertain the bees, and than persuade them to leave having, “seen a good show”.
Fundraiser official, Jerry Slocumb, said “In hindsite it was probably a bad idea to print on the top of the umbrellas, “Welcome Bee’s!”” In a related story Muncie man Gordon Blart, a world record holder, was missing his beard of bees.
After the bees were rounded up and put to death, officials were quoted as saying,” O.K., we think we have all 3000 bees, start giving money again”
